coast Of Africa it appears that eighteen American
vessels were captured and forfeited last year off
the African coast, five only Of which contained
slaves, whilst. in addition TO them, many re
overhauIed and delayed on the most frivolous pre-
texts. The prize money resulting from these cap
lures is a strong temptation to the personal inter

dared to the government, for when vessel
loaded with slaves is seized, the captive5 are i'm.
