Bottle tt'i'llr. Ilrc ./Isfttzntecs.-'I‘lie det.ails of
this disastrous attack have at length arrived.
The following are extracts from private letters:
“ Cape Coast, Feb. Q5.-—The news I have,
to tell you is ofthe most distressing nature.-
His Excellency Sir C. M’Cartlry, with a few
regulars and militia, and sortie ofthe natives,
made a rapid advance into the \\"arsatv corin-
try to repel the Ashantees, who advanced irt
great niiiitbers, and in the uiost gallant style.
.Tlie attack commenced about 2 o’clock, P.
M. on the Ellst of Jan.’ acrossa river about 9.0
or 30 feet wide. The firing wastreiiiendous
on both sides till six P. M. _when it was found
tlteainniitiiitiori on our side was all cxpertded,
on which the Ashantees began to cross the
river ingreat numbers, and the havoc began.
The natives of our party (the Fantces) would
never .carr-,y bayonets; but, the regulars and
militia used them with theimost deadly eilect.
‘Each one bayoiieted three or four Ashantees,
then, siiatcliirrg the bayonet front the itiiisket,
they dashed into the middle of the enemy’s
force, falling iiobly and killing till the last.-
As his Excellency and Staff coirtiiienced re-
'treatiitg, they‘ were attacked in rear by about
2000 of the eneniy who liatl been sent round
-to intercept them, after which nothing certain
has been lear"ned ofa_iiy ofthe whites. Only
two. officers escaped out of- the battle, who
were Brigade Major Ricketts, and Liam.
E_rs,kine. Tlio_se that are missing are his Ex-
cellency Sir Charles M’Carthy, the Hon. Mr.
Buckle, L\Iessrs.\’Vetlierell, VVilliams, lleddle,
Jones, Raydcu, R-obeijtsoii, Tedlie and Bran-
don. ? There is not a doubt-of his Excellency
and most of them being killed. It ispretty

Thus ittone day has the sword cutoff what

_,.“’I‘lie most lamentable part ofthe catas-
troplie, is that it was caused in a great meas-
iii-"e by'the neglect of the officer who had
charge ofthe airzimuuitioit,‘ and did not bring
it.forwartl as he otiglit; -tlie Asliantees never
would have broke our line had there been

following are the heads of what has lately oc-
curred oit this coast: '
The warfare that the Gold Coast has been
engaged in with the Asltaiitees, for the last I9.
months. has created‘ little or no iiiiportance
until the present period.
His Excelleiicy Sir Charles M’Cartliy ar-
rived here from Sierra Leone, in Dec. last,
and in the early part of Jan. itiarclied to the
ititerior, toivartls the river Pra, with a force of
front 6000 to 7000 tiren, consisting ofuatives
and companies ofa W'est India regiment. On
the Qlst ofJan. near the Pra, a uiost desper-
ate battle was fought, and from‘ the superior
force of the enemy, they had surrounded our
troops in every direction; and after our ain-
mtinitiou was totally expended, the troops tiri-
der Sir Charles retreated, with a loss ofnear-
ly all the ofiicers, and sorry ain.l to state the
inhuman manner in which they have been
treated, amongst whom is that gallant chief,
Sir Charles M’Car,tliy, who was wounded and
taken prisoner. The loss of the Ashantees
was upwards of 1000, who were brought,
doivn by our fire. Every means has been ta-
ken to learn the loss of our otlicers and men,
and intelligence has been received from a
-inesseiiger, who saw at the enemy’s c:imp,the
heads ofnine white men (officers) with their
jaw bones taken out, and amongst tliemtlie
head of Sir Charles. This is invariably a
practice among these savages,whcn an enemy
falls into their hands. It is said that our loss
ofinen was not to arty great antoitrit; out of
1'-10,said to have arrived in the Joseph Green
rrarrsport in Nov. last, one halfliad paid the
debt ofiiaturc.

Aslraritees will iireet their re,ivar‘d. Air ac-

.Pl1I"f.S‘_, June 17.——News has been received
from Algiers to the 9th of May. The Dey
will listen to no propositioti of arrangement
wliicliinclirdes an obligation to receive the
former English Consul, Macdonald. The
entrance of the port was-sliut with agreat iron
chain, which the Regency had procured from
England some time ago. The Dey has made
various arrangenients to place liissliips beyond
the reach of danger should an attack be made.
Reports were yesterday in circulation at
the Bourse, that troubles had broken out in
Spain. Nothing could be more void offoiiii-

The criutinal section oftlte Court of Cassa-
tion will try, in its sitting next Tlt1irsday_. a.
' question ofextraordinary interest. It is tliis—
“Whether a Frenchman, who has served un-
der the tiag of Coloiirbia, and__ assisted in the
capture ofa Sardinian vessel, declared to be
gr good prize by the Admiralty Coti'rt at Car-
raccas, cart now be suliject to a criminal pros-
ecution before the Frerrch tribunals, as having
exposed France to ineasiires ofreprisalon the
part of his Majesty the King of Sardinia.”
This question bears a similarity to that
which is the subject 0.f.tlie remotistrances made
by the Ottoman Porte to the Cabinet ofGreat
Britain, with regard to Lord Byron and other
English subjects who have embraced the cause
ofthe Greeks. The marriage ofM.Rot~hs-
child, ofParis, will shortly be celebrated at

who arrived yesterday from Gibraltar, papers
to tlre.9.-tilt tilt. were received.
Gibmltm, June 8.-~It is stated,in the Mad-

the Spanish Goveriiirrent, during the preval-
ence of the Constitutional system, to treat
with the insurgent Rulers ofBuenos Ayres,
considered their mission at an end the iiiouient
they understood that his Catholic l'\Iajesty had
annulled all liehaddoiie during that period,
anti withdrew to Moiitevitleo.
The satire paper gives extracts from some
Addressesreceived frotn those settlenients,the
subscribers to which express a confident hope,
that H. M. will come to their assistance, and
that they will again see the Spanish flag fly-

June 4.——I-[is Catholic Majesty, being in-

regard, use to bring on iiupleasant discussions,
in coffee houses and other places of public rc-
sort in Madr'id,wliiclt, to say the least oftlicm,
betray a watit of urbatrity ; and considering,
that, in so doing, they iticddle with political
matters which they do not iiirderstand, censur-

which have been most niatiirely weighed, and

M.tLT.t, April SO.——Letters from Smyrna:
are down to the 7th inst. They state that the
first division ofthe Ottoirizinileet, under the
command ofthe Patrona Bey, consisting of
121 sail, proceeded froitr Rltodes to Alexaiidria
to form ajunction with the Egyptian squadron,
and to take on board the black Nubian disci-
plined troops, which are to he commanded by
Ibraliam Paclia, the son ofthe Pacha of E-
gypt. It is said that they are upwards ot'9.0,—
000 in number, well united, and commanded

Jllrzlta, Jllay 26.-—Our last advices from
Alexandria are to the :”l6tli ultimo, and we
learn by a letter received frotii good autltority,
that t'nere had been a sort of rebellion in the
Upper Provinces of Egypt, in which it was
supposed that some English travellers had lost
their lives. The rebels were ltcaded by a Sheik
calling liiiriselfa propltet, and preteridiiigto
have coitie front I-Ieaven to reform the Ma-
hontetan religion. It is said that he had been
taken and bclieatlcd, btit (it is added by our
correspontlerit) iuforiiiation given by the Gov-
ertriiieiit here, is not at all times to be relied
upon. This event will retard in sortie degree
the expedition of the Pacha into the Morea.
We have t_li_e satisfactioii, however, of adding.
that the letter states in a postscript,tliat Eng-
lish travellers, though for some days in the
hands oftlte rebels, had been saved, and were
oit their way to Alexandria. Among them
were Mr. Madox, and Mr. Hull.
‘Frctract (fa letter _fi'om Lisbon, June 19.
“ We arrived here all well, but since being
at qtiarantine, we ltave been sorely beset with
beggars. It is customary to give every poat
which brings a boarding officer, a piece of
pork and sonic bread, and itseenis impossible
to avoid it. Add to that, we have had two
officers and the pilot quartered upon us. The
former are very ragged: we feed them on
‘deck with beef and brown bread, and they
take their lodgings in art old sail. One oftliem
picks up the ends ofthe segars we throw on
deck, and smokes them in a sltort pipe he car-
r'ies for the ptirpose. ,They gladly" partake of
the tainted beef which we reject. Such are
the habits of_tlie people ofLisbon.”
The Sicilian’ Dwarf.-—Tlie London papers
inform that Miss Ci'acliimi,tlie Sicilian dwarf,
who attracted so much attention, had been
shown to death, and her pigmy body present-
ed to the Royal Cotlege'ofPirysicians, by the
iirliuinan fellow who exhibited it when alive.
The child had beengsurreptitiously taken from
its parents‘. The father, who resided in Dub-
hit, was apprized by the newspapers of the
tlcath of his child, and hastened to London,
where he arrived only in time to recognise its
disnienibcred trunk’ in the dissecting room of
the college. A gentleman who took seve-
ral measures of Miss C. states that her exact
height was nineteen inc-liesand a ltalf; length
oflier fobt, 3 inches and one eighth ; length
ofher fore finger, one inch and seven eighths;

But at the expiration of that time, a British

from the Barbarians. As Idesired to come

\Ve shall return to Key Breton, where I hope
to see the Pirates caught. We are obliged to
go to Jarrraica to give our depositiotis——so
that I do itot expect to be in Boston under 2

that he was captured by pirates on the last of
June, when within 4 miles of Matanzas, and
robbed of his boots, sails, rigging, cabin furrii-

crew they let him go. Tire following is the
coiicltision ofthe letter :—‘ Last evening we
had accounts from Irlataiizas oftwo brigs,one
ship, and one scltooiier, being taken by the
pirates. The brigJolin, ofPortland, was one

BALTIMORE, July 20-—C'aptur'e Q/‘Pir'ates.
——Capt. Allen, ofthe schr. Elizabeth, arrived
here this morning in 1t)da_vs frorii Matanzas,
infornrs, that they came otit of that place cit
the 17th inst. under convoy ofthe U. S. sclir.
Terrier, to the mouth of the harbor, where
they fell in with the U. S. ship John Adams‘,
bound to N. York, and parted with "her off A-
baco. About two days previous to the sail-
ing oftlie Elizabeth, accounts were received
oftwo iitore American vessels being taken off
the harbor, carried to Seaivapa Bay, and their
ved of their crews. The words “ New-York”
-liad been seen on one oftbeir stcriis. On the
schooner (armed with one long gun.) fell in
with a fleet of PIRATES ; the same tlratliavc
been committing the late lawless depredatioiis,
off Matanzas ; they consisted of two small"
schooners and a feluelte, and by a russe the,
Colombian sclir. brought them into action at
close quarters; when after a desperate action,
killing many, she succeeded in capturing the
two scliooners. The feluche made their es-
cape with sweeps, and came into Matanzas,
when they were taken up and imprisoned by
the authorities of that place. Their confine-
ment was supposed a Sham. The Pirates
reported that the Colombian shot 8 of them

certaining their characters.”
A great sensation exists in this city in cori-
sequence ofthe account we published yester-
day of the capture of the sclir. Jllercator, by
Pirates. The anxiety of the friends of the
crew, is extreme, and it is ascertained that tip-
tvards of,/i:ft_r/five thousand a'oIlars were iii-
stired in this city on the cargo.—Merc. ./Idv.
The newspapers have for some time past
teeined with encomiiims on Coirtinodore Por-
ter, for his active and -SzIcccs.s_~ful efforts in stip-
pressing Piracy in the “fest Indies ; and it is
probable that their cotiritry readers really be-
lieve that our merchant ships, with their en-
terprising crews and valtiable cargoes are nav-
igating those regions in perfect security :—
but the fact is the pirates are at this moment
as numerous, as daring and as successful in
their attacks tipou our commerce as at any
former period ; and so far from being put
doivii by the squadron which the nation is
maintaining at so great an expense, it is even
questionable whether this very squadron has'
not produced tnore harm than good, by infus-
ing a groundless confidence in the minds of
our mariners engaged in that trade,u ho, rely-
ing on the protection offered by their Govern-
ment, ltave omitted to provide tlieinselves with
the means of scl f-defence, and itave tlius fal-
len unresisting victiitis to the rapacity and
cruelty oftliose fiends in human shape.
Those persons whom professional pursuits
have led to an attentive observation of the"
course of events in the West Iridies,liave long
been convinced that the system adopted by
governnient for the suppression of Piracy is
either in itself, or from the manner in which
it is exectrted, totally insufftcierit, and that
some other uiore eflicatiotis means must be a-
dopted. This is dtie to the feelings of those
who are stitierirtg iitider the loss of their prop-
erty, or mourning the death ofa near relative
or friend butchered by these monsters.
