MASSACRE OF BnrrrsH Troops IN ST.

MASSACRE OF .BR1r1sH TRooPs. IN sierra
LEoNE.-Some British troops, in May last,
were sent, in Her Majesty's steamer,
Teazer, to Malahea, for the. enforcement
of payment by the Chief of that country
of certain indemnities due the English
merchants in that river for losses
sustained by them through that Chief
in the latter part of last year. The
troops partially destroyed that town, but
on the next day were surprised by thou
sands of the natives, overpowered and
driven from the shore, with loss of sew
enty-three men of the first anG second
West India Regiments, out of $50 rank
and file sent on the expedition in killed,
missing and wounded, with eleven 9TH
ers also wounded, who succeeded in get
ting off to the ship. Besides these Lieut.
Wylie and acting Paymaster, Andrews,
of the Teazer, were killed; Commander
Nicholas was severely wounded in both
legs; Lieut.. Vincent, second West India
Regiment, severely wounded; an officer
of the Sierra Leone Militia wounded: an
Assistant Commissary General taken
prisoner; naval officer and,two seamen
missing, sand three seamen wounded:
making . total loss in killed, wounded,
and missing of ninety-four. The natives
were notonly excited by the bonbards
ment of their town., but by,treachery to.
wards the Chiefs rhine Minister, Who
went down to the wharf, when the tTeaz!
er arrived, and was Immediately seized
and made prisoner. After this the ma
tives would have no intercourse, but fred
upon British flag of truce. The Minis
ter, after the repulse, was set at liberty,
on promise of obtaining release of prison
ers. To prepare against another attack,
the Chief has adopted the Russian policy
Of filling up the channel of the river with
stones, SO as to prevent any vessel, even
Of moderate dtaught, from passing. This
secures Mallaghea,' but it will prove an
incalculable injury to- the merchants, who!
formerly loaded large vessels as high up,
as that town.

WARRESFoY, June 28th. 1856.
To r. B. Barton, Ma4yre and Others, Com
miHes Of Ia9tdtion, dc: -
knowledge the receipt of your favor on
Goth inst, inviting me to unite with the
American party in their ratification of
the Philadelphia platform, on the 4th, Of
July next, in the town Of Fredericksburg.
1t will not be in my power, to accept
your polite invitation. Iffrom home on
that day, I.expect to be in the cityof Will
liamsburg.
1t may not, however, be amiss for me
to say here, that as from manhood to the
opening of my late Congressional canvass,
l had never advocated ,ai political princi.
pie or taken political position that had
not my conscientious approval, soin ad-
herence to the, same plan of life amid
all the excitement and temptation of the
late canvass, eyersunworthily sought
success, but. frankly ayowing my senti-
ments, and avowing nonenot honestly en-
.tertained; and in views of my duties to my
country, seeking union among ourselves
by pursuing acourse of Cancellation and
harmony, that we might be the better
able to resist the wrong and injury of
Northern fanaticism, I .unshrinkingly trus-
ted myself to he.moral sentiments of my
race upon which free Government must
rest, to last. The result, SO gratifying to
me, showed that my confidence was not
misplaced and it now remains, for me to
show by my conduct in all respects, that
merit the confidence in which the peo-
pie of my District have SO generally robed
me.
With great consideration, am, gentle
men, 49, Very truly, yours,
VIM. SMITH.
