liked the man. But finding no shelter at home, she made her escape to the kraal of a great man in this neighborhood, whose children lately had come to school. He sent her away, ordering her, as her brother had done. But she again returned, saying that she could not live with that man. There she remained for some time undetected, and cane to school with the other girls. But on her father's return, a complaint was lodged with him. He went in person to visit the man, whom he had never before seen, and was himself so dissatisfied, that he resolved on taking back his daughter, which was easily managed; for the man was perfectly indifferent whether he got back his wife or his cattle. The father returned him his beasts. He then set about searching for his daughter, and found her in the school." THE SLAVE TRADE. FROM THE CAPE OF GOOD HOPE.-The Cape of Good Hope Shipping List of November 24th, received at this office, contains the following particulars relative to the progress of the Slave Trade on the Eastern Coast of Africa.-Journal of Commerce. The Spanish barque Amelia, cf 278 tons, but under the Portuguese flag, from Havana, bound to Mozambique, was taken off the harbor on 31st ult., after an arduous chase of 21 hours, by H. B. S. Acorn, Capt. J. ADAMS, being fully fitted for slaves, and having on board 27,000 Spanish dollars for the purchase of the same, and has been sent into Table Bay with 10 slaves on board, taken out of a large dow of 150 tons, also captured by H. M. S. Acorn, with 30 slaves, (the remaining 20 taken on board the Acorn,) but is said to have landed 200 near Mozambique harbor, the evening previous to her capture. The hull was to be destroyed. A large brig, the Portia, sailing under Portuguese colors, had been fined previous to Acorn's arrival at Mozambique harbor, and allowed to depart, with a pasport for the Havana, but on getting outside, the slaver commenced levying contributions of slaves from the different ports, and plundering Arabs down along the coast. Not having water casks on board (they having been burned at Mozambique harbor,) he stood over the island of Joana, and levied a contribution from an English schooner and an American whaler lying there, after which he continued his course for the island of Mayotta, where he anchored, and sent to the King to procure him 200 slaves, with a sufficient supply of rice and water to maintain them. However, he ended his cruise here, for a French corvette happend to come round the island, and, on observing a vessel at anchor, sent her boats and took him. He was sent into Mozambique harbor, and it was said that he had on board 250 Arabs, negroes, &c. The three Spanish slavers condemned by the local government at Mozambique harbor, (see our No. 45,) have since been ascertained to be the Great Antilles, Relampago, and Emprendedor, but sailing under Portuguese colors, with the following names: Gloria, Maria Segunda, and Enrprendedor. The cargoes and specie they had on board were given up to the masters, after heavy fines had been levied on them; the prize brig Relampago, taken into the government service, and fitted up as a man-of-war, had been expedited for the different ports along the coast, with orders for taking any vessels that might have entered fitted for the Slave Trade; the Governor General besides taking very active steps to suppress the Slave Trade, had removed from their post all the Governors of the different ports suspected of giving any countenance thereto. CAPTURE OF A SLAVER.-We have been favored with the subjoined extract from a letter to a gentleman of this city, dated St. Croix, December 30: "I beheld this morning, in company with several gentlemen, one of the most horrible sights my eyes ever encountered. An English brig of war which cruises in the vicinity of Porto Rico, while running from St. Thomas i to this island, observed at a considerable distance a small dirty looking craft, which would not have been suspected as a slaver but from the number of men seen upon deck. After a short chase, the brig came up to her, and from her appearance the commander of the brig was satisfied she was no slaver, but concluded that after having taken the trouble of giving her a chase, they might as well search her. On opening the hatches, they found the hold crammed with negroes from 8 to 12 years old, stark naded, with their heads shaved. The crew of the slaver was immediately taken on board the brig, and the slaver manned and brought into this port. This morning after breakfast, we engaged a boat and went along side the slaver, and conversed some time with the lieutenant in command, on the subject of his vocation. Several of the little sufferers were very ill, and one died last night. They were all placed around the sides of the vessel, and as we approached, they grinned and waved their hands at us, apparently quite happy and pleased with having their liberty on deck. I do not regret that I took the trouble to see them, but I never desire to see another such a horrible sight. The cargo belongs to a Spaniard in Porto Rico, whose loss will be $60,000. The brig has just fired a salute, which has been answered from the fort, and she is departing for Porto Rico, whence the slaver will be sent to Havana, where I suppose these unfortunate creatures will be apprenticed to Spanish masters."-New York Commercial Advertiser. THE REV. C. W. ANDREWS, the late rector of St. Andrew's church, Pittsburg, whose failing health compelled him to resign that station, purposes visiting our missionary stations in Africa. We hope he may find restoration for his health, and future ability for greater usefulness. WE beg the attention of our readers, in the South and South-west, to the notice that an expedition will sail from New Orleans in April or May next. We hope all our exchange papers will insert this notice. Let the Emigrants on all the tributaries of the Mississippi be ready at that time; and, let the patrons of the Society remember, that the expedition just sailed, has drained our treasury. Our funds, then, must be increased, and that immediately. Let all our agents redouble their diligence, as we are doing at this office, to raise money. It will require every possible exertion to provide the means to send off the contemplated expedition. AN error occurs in the Report of the Board of Directors, which escaped our notice, and needs correction. The receipts of the last year are given, without deducting the amount in hand at the date of the last Annual Report.

DESPATCHES FROM LIBERIA. THE Despatch of Governor BUCHANAN to the Chairman of the Executive Committee, which we give below, will be read with interest, and we trust will stimulate our friends to increased efforts, to enable us to carry forward our operations. GOVERNMENT HOUSE, MONROVIA, 13TH DEC., 1840. S 19TH DEAR SIR,-I am happy to inform you of the arrival of the bark Hobart, on the 24th ult., after an unusually long passage of fifty-seven days. For more than three months I had been looking daily for the Saluda, and had just heard that she had sailed from Philadelphia on the 28th August for this place. I was under the greatest anxiety, and scarcely dared hope she had not been lost, when the appearance of her fine substitute, put an end to my apprehensions, and made me grateful and happy. I give you many thanks for the cheering contents of your various letters of July 3d, 7th, 17th, 30th, and 31st, of August 25th, and Sept. 26th. They were a full compensation for all I had suffered from the suspense and anxiety of so long a silence, and afforded me renewed encouragement to' persevere in the arduous duties of my most difficult station. Next to the grateful emotions inspired by the personal kindness exhibited in those communications, I am rejoiced by the intelligence they bring me of the increasing prosperity of the cause of Colonization; and sincerely trust the day is now near at hand when this stupendous scheme of philanthropy will be fully established in the confidence and affections of the whole American' people. In conformity with your request, I shall endeavor to arrange my observations under distinct heads; but if you find me mixing up different subjects before I get through, you must not be surprised. I have to write in such a' hurry, and am exposed to so frequent interruptions, that it is very difficult to be methodical. THE BARK AND HER CARGO. The arrival of the Bark happened in just my busiest season, when the civil and political year is drawing to a close, and accounts are to be brought up, reports to be got in from the various settlements, official changes made, and business prepared for the approaching session of our Colonial Legislature. In the midst of these pressing duties, I have been unable to de |
