Where 1t Is.

The desperate battle fought between the
British forces and the Ashantees, has given
rise to inquiries as to the location Of the terri
tory which is now being fought over. An ex.
change furnishes the following reformation on
the subject: Ashantee lies in the same latitude
with Abyssinia, the latter being on the east
side, and the former Oh the west or gold coast
aud both almost under the equator. Ashautee
is 10 Upper Guinea, not far from LIBERIA
The capital of the warlike and popuous State
is pear. Cape Coast Castle, ,,the. capital OF the
British settlement on the gold coast; and bat
ties have before occurred between the two pow
ers. in one of which the English; were seuudly
thrashtd; captured, and afterwards eaten by
the cannibalish conquerors.
The government is a complete despotlsm,

tlemen of color are called, owning one thous-

accumulated since the suppression OF the
slave trade. But the masters are generally
afraid TO abuse their power, believing that if
they do, the slaves will bewitch them. Poly
gany is another favorite, institution, a mans
