Spectator, Jan 4tb0

According to a telegram forwarded by
Reuter-, and therefore presumably demi Off
DIAL, Sir +. Scott, III command Of the AsLantee
Expedition, has made an important state
ment. At a "paIavrr," or formal interview,
with the King Of Akim-A>hanlee. Il friendly
chlef, Sir Francis announced that he was
going TO Coomassie as the representative of
Queen Victoria that Ashautee would be
annexed; that a Governor would be appoint
ed; and that the eountly would he opened up
to commerce. This is probably a wiser course
to pursue than the establishment of a Pro
tectorate, and undoubtedly it will he more
beuefoial to the natives but it may Of
course increase al first the energy OF the re-
~sistance. The A>hautee chiefs are fighving
for their customs" as we'll as their indie
lendence, and know that if we annex we
shall int oduce the most radical changes. 1t
is doubtful also whether Samory will approve
50 complete a destruction Of a neighbouring
Kingdom. The policy adopted is inconrpa-
rably the better if we are to enter Africa as
a civilising Power; but we wish it had been
announced after The occupation Of the cap
ital. The expedition is now well across the
Prah.

most enjoyable concert was given.
The two young ladies have very sweet
voices. and that Of Mr.. Camp IS wonder
full. He reaches high +. or any other note
below that. with the greatest ease, and
has a sweet. flexible voice, which ne
modulates al will and controls with de-
gree Of skill that would reflect credit even
