The Kingdom Of DahOmey,

The last accounts from the western,
coasts Of Africa have brought the news
of the death Of Guezoif King Of Dahomey.
The following are some details concerning
that country:
,Dahoney is military State, founded
about the commencement Of tie 18th cen
fury, and occupiesfall she ospace COM
prised between the mouths Of the Niger
and the Volta and the last slopes Of the
Kong. Notwithstanding this immense
extent, it only contains 900, 600 inhabit-'
ants, of whom 100000 are:slayes. AT
Dahomey the year is divided into equal
parts. The first half is taken up with
warlike operations, and the other parts
devoted to fetes and public ceremonies; -
The war. properly speaking, is nothing
but a hunt after slaves made by q regular
army, Of .12, 900 soldiers, of whom &. 600
are women; but when the King leaves his
capital for the war one fourth part of The
population of the kingdom, accompany
him. The capital, which is called Abo-
Ismeg, is about eight miles in circumfer-
| eGde, and surrounded by a deep ditch
| There are six entrances, which are merely
passages of earth continued across the
ditch. One Of them is reserved for the
exclusive useof the King, and the Others
are open to all his subjects. Over eacli
fgate are placed number. Of human
skulls, and in the interior Of the city there
is a high pyramid formed on the skulls d
men and animals. The Kings palace is
lin the center Of the city, and the houses
1of the inhabitants are scattered about
here and there without any order. The
principal fete is that called the y qe-ah.
beh, or the. payment Of the troubour.-
/ There are al Dahomey a certain number
Of poets of=eilher sex, whose only occu.
patton is to sing the exploits Of theil
Sovereigns, and that employment, which
Edescends from father to son, is very lu-
erative. Al the above fete the King pub
ilicly. distributes recompenses IT'D the
troubadoufs according to their respective
merits. Allthe fetes are attended by hu
man sacrifices, which takes. place on ,
large platform erected for the purpose
and are ornamented with banners Of diff
