KOMP. The health of the Bonny River continues good. The Liberia brings 1370 z. of gold dust. CAPS COAST CASTLE, Nov. 2%.—The war is at present practically at a standstill. Our people are employed in completing the road to Prahsue, and carrying up supplies to the camps at Dimquah and Mansue, and some to Acrafuna, our most advanced post at pr sent, and but late!y the camp of the Ashantee General Amanquatia. The enemy are retreating slowly, and our scouts occasionally come acre-s their rear guard, when a few shots are exchanged and a few prisoners captured by our people, but it is evident that they are now making the best of their way back across the Prah, where it is anticipated they will make a stand. The redoubt Napoleon is now discarded, as being no longer of any use. The arrival of the troops, both West Indian and European, is anxiously looked for, but there is no time lost, as the rains still continue. and the coast is far from healthy. • Eight deaths from fever occurred on board the Liberia on her voyage from the Gold Coast. The correspondent of the Manchester Guardian at the Gold roast, wite, under date November 18th, as follows :—lt is true that the enemy hare been felt a few miles from Kamm, and they made a raid in upon the road, as the decapitated corpse of an unlucky carrier was found hung up on a tree as a scarecrow to •Thers. My fears as to the slaughtering of their slaves by th • Ashantees will, [ fear, prove correct. A visit has been paid to the scene of the last fight, near Abrakrampa, where a large camp was found, and the dead bodies of a number of slaves. This is perhaps the worst ehar late' istic of 111P.T! bloodthirsty SaTatCPS.

" and human sacrifices, or Murdering them rather than allow them to escape. to their homes. It will be well for those at home who sympathise with these Ashantees to remember these things, and also that the people who have been treated in this horrible manner are said to be under British protection.
