umba Point, on the coast of Lower Guinea, in lat
SOUTH and Ion. IL east.
The ketch gave no evidence of her nationality until
the soopofwar fired gun across her bows, when she

&c, and about $500 in Mexican ounces which being
such articles as usually constitute the outfit of SLAYER
she was seized and sent home. The Brothers cleared
from Havana the 22d July, for St. Thomas, the
coast of Africa at which point she did not touch and
was bound to the Congo River when captured by the
Marion.
The papers Of the ketch are all in proper FORM as
