WASHINGTON, November 24.-OlliCiul
information has been received showing
that In consequence OF the difficulties OF
the Liberians with the natives much dis
tresB has been produced. Some Libcr.
ians in the interior are almost in state
Of Starvation. II further appears that
several native students at the Theological
College, nj Cape Pnlmns, are in sympa-
thy with their fellow natives and give
them encouragement In their attacks on
the Liberians, and that a number Of Eng
lishmen are trading with the natives, sup.
plying them with Firearms, ammunition
and other means Of war.
In view Of these facts Drs. Peter Park.
er, Nichols, Lindsay and Mr.. Coppinger,
Secretary OF the American Colonies, joint.
ly called on President Grant to-day
and asked that n ship Of war
be sent to the African coast with
view OF giving encouragement and
support to Liberia, and chastise such
natives az may be In reach Of the guns.
The President sympathizing with the
Libcrians informed the committee that
several week ago a vessel had been order
ed thither for the purpose Of offering
protection 10 the Liberidns. The Secre.
iary Of the Navy, subsequently informed
the Representatives Of the Colonization
Society that instructions 10 the command
er Of the ships OF war would soon be for.
wafded to him. The Secretary Of State
will doubtless communicate with Minister
SChenCk, In order that proper represen.
tations may be made TO The British govern.
ment with aview TO the removal Of the
Ehglislmen who are supplyin The ma
tives with means OfWar as a private specn-
llLion. II Is claimed that The treaty be-
tween the United States and Great Bri-
tain for the suppression Of the African
slave trade, gives ample authority for
governmental interference.
