arrived here to attend the American State Council,
which meets tomorrow The meeting promises TO be
more numerously attended than was anticipated.
From New-York are the Hon. Daniel Ullmanp, the
Hon. Erastus Brooks, Isaac o. Hunt Gilbert c..
Dean, and other prominent American politicians
Auditor Benton, II. b. Northrup, Elan X. Jewett,
Gustsvus Adolphus Scroggs, and many others who
have figured in American Conventions, are on hsnd
from the rural districts The struggle will be to
the time of holding the State Convention.
The Hon. Daniel Ullmann, who is said to speak the
policy of Thurlow Weed, will oppose the calling of
the Convention on the same day that the Republi-
cans hold theirs in order that the latter may not be
embarrassed by any union openly With the Americans.
The Buffalo delegate who favor union and act
with the AIti-Weed Republicans, advocate the s.
semblrg Of the Convention on the 9TH Of Septemb..
at Syracuse, go as TO force the Republican Convel-
tion to ogLze the Americans or drive them into a.
open rupture.
The chances thus far seem in favor Of calling the
Convention on the 2lst of September, or some day
subse quent to the meeting Of the Republican Conven.
ton.
No other business will be before the Council.
The headquarters OF the Delegates are at the
Franklin House. Some 40 Delegates are already
here.

WASHINGTON, Monday, Aug. % 1859.
The Administration has bestowed upon the subject
of he African savetrade its earnest attention. and
with view of supprsssing as far as possible this
traffic. has initiated more efficient and ex.
tepsive than ever before for that purpose.
The squsdron for the COST Of Africa, as arranged
by the Secretary Of the Navy, will consist of the fol-
lowing named vessels: The steamers Mystic Sumpter
San Jacinte, and Mohican, and the sloops-of-war
Constellation the flagship, Portsmouth, Marion, and
vincennes The most efficient officers are assigned
to their command. Those OF the steamers Mystic and
Sulnpter are respectively, Lieutenant w. E. Leroy,
and Lieutenant G. F. Armstrong. These gentlemen
were at their own request ordered to this service.
Their vessels being of light draught, can penetrate
waters too shallow for those which have hitherto
been on that coast, beside having the advantage
of steam. Hence slavers will be more closely pur-
sued.
The joint treaty with England requires that the
United States shall keep the Algerian coast force
Of eighty guns but by the recent arrangement on the
part of the Administration the number Of our guns
will be one hundred and sixteen.
Mr.. Birney, who succeeds Mr.. Morse as Naval
Store-Keeper went out in the Constellation, with
Instructions the Naval depot for the African
squadron from Porto Praya to San Paul de Lsndo,
which three hundred and thirty six miles south of
the Congo river, or about twenty-five hundred miles
distant fiom Porto Prays. This new depot will, con-
sequently, be much nearer than the former to the
principal points of traffic on the coast and WILL 10
great measure obvste the necessity of long cruises
On our own coast too, there is to be an efficient
naval force, composed of the stesmers Crusader,
Lieutenant Mafit; the Mohawk, Lieutenant Craven;
Wyandotte Lieutenant Stanley; and the Fulton, Con-
mander G. G. Williamson. They to cruise in the
negLborhood of Cuba, for the purpose of capturing
any slavers which may by their experiences escape
vigilance Of our naval police on the African coast.
These arrangements will soon go into full operation,
and the Secretary Of the Navy is now hurrying the
preparation of such of the vessels are yet in port
for this important service.
