AFRICAN TRaDE.-ln The London Gazette Of April
I, appeared treaty signed at London, March T. the
notifications of which exchanged there on the
18th Of the same month, between 1.-The Queen OF En-.
gland and the Emperor Of the French. by il England
relnqushed the right hitherto enjoyed by the English
of trading on the West Coast of Africa, from the
mouth of the river ST. John TO the bay and port Of
Portendic while France cedes to England the French
factory at Abbreda ON the north bank of the river
Gambia, together with all possessory other rights
apperaniug to the factory establishment. The object
Of those arar gemens is to settle definitely the position
of the French and English in Senegambia. Tho
French remain in undsputed possession OF the great
river Senegal and oil its adjoining coast while tho
English become the sole possessors Of the river Gam
bia and its sea coast region. Both nations will thus
consolidate their colonies, and give new importance
to st. Louis, the Senegal, and bathurst, on the
Gambia. But the English will gain the most, "a the
river GAMBIA il the chief resort Of the Msndingoes,
who are the principal traders Of Western Africa.
Gold dust ivory, fine wood ground nut oil, skins. NC,
now support an important commerce. The growth OF
European colonies on the coast of Senegambia must
have an influence on the progress of Liberia.
