THE NEW TARIFF LAW',
Occupies a large space iu our paper today.—
Wo have thought it not unacceptable to our rea

It will lie perceived that the new act goes into ef

is mail*-, that auy original packages of merchan
dise imported before the 2d of March and remain

shall pay only the reduced duties, and shall bo en
titled to the repayment of sums exceeding the
new rates, which may have been previously paid
on them.
Notwithstanding the care of die Senate in cor

valorem duty of 50 per tint.
By the new Tariff, mol costing ondor eight

is to pay a specific duty of four cents and forty
per cent ad valorem.

It will be seen that the i
new duty regularly 'do-
creases from the cost of 82 23 per yard, when it
is equal uuder both Tariffs, down to the cost of
$1 05 per yard, in which the duty is marc than
fifty pir ceut less. Beyond the cost of 82 50,
the same effect is produced, the ucw duty being
35 cents per yard less than the old ono at tho cost
of $2 55, and increasing up to the cost of S3 20,
where the duties are agaiu equal. The effect of
the alterations is to reduce the duties on all cheap

Extracts of a Utter from Lieut. Commandant Ben
jamin Paste, Jr., dated “United States schooner
Boxer, off Cape Mensurado, Oih April, 1832,"
addressed to the Secretary of the Nary:
I havo the honor to inform you by the brig Be-
thia, of our safe arrival at this place on tbe 6th
instant.
After getting sounding, wo stood in for Cape
Mount. About that point we could tee nothing
of any vessel of n suspicions appearance, or an
swering the description we had of Rayman's Bit-
S utliine, which vessel you informed mo took and
ttsiroycd the Colony schooner commanded by
Captain Thompson, of whom I learn, siuco my
arrival, no satisfactory information has been ob
tained. It isfjbowover. reported, and tbo report
is believed, that ho has boon taken to Cuba, where
tbo brigantine is saici to Leiong, tncrely to keep
hint but of the way as long as possible, as he is
foptosented as a vigilant officer, aud well known
and dreaded along tbe coast by such as Raymau
who has, it is believed, taken his departure; the
French aud English cruisers (seven in-number)
being very vigilaut. •
As you directed, I have furnished the Colnnif
wph what wc could spare of tho articles we had
on board, which they stood in need of. For your
liberal Instructions' "to nie on this head, the Go
vernor requests me to tender you, in (lie name of
thocolnuy, his grateful acknowledgments. We
have received from them all that attention and
kiurtni-si for which they have been given credit
by preceding visiters. They have been lately
called to act in the field, against a combination of
the Dey nnd Gurrnbs kings. It seems that some
of the slaves of these kings, when about to be
sold to the Spaniards at Guiiiinas, rail away and
took shelter amongst the recaptured Africans who
'are settled about two miles from Caldwell, on the
Stockton river; and that a son of King lirumley
wag sent down to demaud them at Monrovia; but
the Governor could not treat with him with any
safety, as from his geueral character, his state
ments could uot be depended upon; he was, how
ever, told, that if the King Diiuself would visit the
colony, ho would find no obstacle to a fair adjust
ment.
On tho return of tlie young man, King Brum-
ley suddeuly died, aud his successor commenced
aggressions without delay, by seizing our .colon
ists, depriving theip of their property aud eveu
liberty,-aud cruelly wounded some of the recap
tured Africans, at the $atne tune making hostile
movomouts towards the upper colonies, Caldwell
aud Miilsburg. -
Upon remonstrance .being made nt their pro
ceeding, they tore up the letters, aud declared that
if the colonists did not meet them ill the field, in
three days, they would destroy the upper settle
ments, viz: Caldwell, -about N. N. E. distant 9
miles, mid Miilsburg, N. E, by E. distant about
24 miles from Monrovia.
In lids serious state of things, part of tlie forces
of the colony were inarched to Brumley’s Town.
It was found that the natives had left that place,
aud had assembled nt a fortified town about ten
miles further inlaud. Towards this place the co
lonists marched, armed with muskets and a field
piece. Ou their arrival they had a battle which
resulted iu the capture of tho town. One colo
nist was killed, Janies Thompson, and three
wounded, one severely snd two slightly. It is
said, fifteen of the natives were killed, aud a num
ber wounded. After their flight they sent mes
sengers to sue for peace.
Ou receiving assurance that they would bo
treated with on equitable terms, the kings came
down, and havo entered into a treaty highly ad
vantageous to the colonists. Thus peace and
tranquillity have been entirely restored. Trade
is again resuming its usual course.
Another deputation has arrived since we have
been here, proposing a junction, in addition to the
kingdoms of the Muniba and Queah counties al
ready in connection with tbe colony.—And tbe
Boatswain, the mosl powerful and intelligent of
the kings of this section of Western Africa, still
remains as ho has ever beeu, their firm and effi
cient friend; having declared that if the Dey Kings
ever trespass again, ho himself would nttcud to
the task of putting thorn in order.
A trading caravan from his country is now here,
bosides the Queah deputation.
There are six vessels lying in the harbor, and
arrangements aro making to establish another set
tlement at Capo Mount, so that every thing looks
encouraging. Botwoon that capo aud this place,
qjl along the sea shore, many inoffensive old men,
women and weakly persons, belonging to tho diQ-
crcnt inland kingdoms, aro living in thick settle
ments snd are engaged in making salt, which is
carried inland, about 125 milos by them and ex
changed for ivory and other produce, which brings
them at tho colnuy, at the rate of one dollar for
every ga'lon of salt. I mention this in order to
point out nn error, which has been fallen into by
somo, in supposing that salt is a good article of
commerce here. This is not tho case, as foreign
sail has been offered and rejected at 40 cents per
bushel. Tho Liverpool traders sometimes take
it as bnllast, aud carry it down to leeward, to the
river Camcroons. But uo other than native salt,
is encouraged hy the iuterior natives, hereabouts,
ns they are jealous of encroachments upon this
means of livelihood for their old and weakly.
This subject is somewhat connected with tho
commerco of this country; concerning tho condi
tion and prospects of which, you have directed
me to report particularly. It is not as extensivo
ns that of the coast at largo, os all vessels passing
hy do not anchor, hut still it is in a flourisbingatate.
I havo conversed with the most intelligent, and
have taken some time to look round for myself.
When I say it is in a thriving stato, I do not wish
to be understood to mean that it is now or ever

America, France and England.
The number of colonists is now about twenty-
seven hundred, among which there are four or five
merchants of note.
I havo inquired a* to the state of health of the
Colony. The report has been favorable, and I
am credibly informed that Doctor Todson, the re
sident physician at Caldwell, loses hardly iu tbe
proportiou of four out of every hundred of those
who are taken with the country fever, through
which ordeal all have sooner or later to pass.
I have visited both tlie day and Sahhath schools,
nnd was pleased with the appearance of things;
several of the children did themselves much credit.
With nil the advauingesthat have been enume
rated; it would be natural to expect to hear of the
general couteutmeut of the inhabitants, and so far
as my personal observation has gone, I have in
deed found this to bo tlie case. There have been
some exceptions; hut they are found amongst
characters who will be dissatisfied in any situa
tion. Here, as well as elsowhere, the content
ment of the inhabitants may be measured by their
morality, industry, aud sobriety.

appears to bo soveral kinds of soil in
this vicinity. To the southwest of the town^closc
by. there is a largo tract of cxcclleut coffee land,
the wild produce of which has beon esteemed for
iu flavor as highly as that of tho Java coffee.
Cultivation will somewhat improve it, nnd a sin
gle individual is now setting out a plantation of
twenty thousand coffoe trees, which is expected
to ho completed by May.
Another quality of soil is that of Bushrod Isl
and; which, I understand, is very similar in its lo
cation aud formation to those lands on the coast
of Georgia, where Sea Island cottou is raised.—
And another to the north aud east of tlio Island
is a largo and rich tract of soil, suitable for raising
sugar cane, rico, indigo, Indinn corn and tobacco.
These locations are close around the settlement,
and this, 1 am informed, is the general quality of
the soil of all this section of tho wostern coast, n
little removod from the sea.
When it is taken into consideration, that such
valuable articles of trade, ns have been enumerat
ed, can be cultivated at nn expense of about five
bars or one dollar and fifty cents n month;—(five
cents per day)—and sufficient- rice far tho daily
subsistence of each uativo employed—that these
natives do not work like other slnves, hut ore
strong laborious people, who might bo brought
out of their habit of giving up labor after the farm
ing season is over, and employing their time iu
sinking ana dancing—and tnai these articles are
in demand in our country, and in Europe—there
can bo but one inference drawn, and that is, that
is, that in proportion as an indnstrions farming
interest is established, which is disposed for agri
culture and its peaceful pursuits, the commerco
of the colony will flourish and keep pace with its
exertion■- \ - •
There*are soveral enterprising merchants here.
But at present they can do all, and oven more than
tbe business nf the colony; as they attend to some
commission business for houses both in Europe
aud the United Stales. It is not however, a fa
vorable spot for small storekeepers and wandering
pedlars, who, 1 am told, generally become stript
nf what they may have got; and in wandering a-
hont in tlie intenor for small traffic, disgust tite
natives by thoir immoralities, and thus create dif
ficulties anJ disturbances, which have sometimes
resulted iu tneir imprisonment and n demand of
ransom mouey. It is now pretty well understood
here, that in goneral such persons only live aud
thrive as tfro willing to settle down on a farm,
there to enjoy the fruit of their labor, and to dis
pose of tho surplus to those very few traders who
are ncccicxry for the present state of things.—
And all thoso who, deceived by tho Ethiopian no-
Mntements of the Army—Maj. General Scott
arrived at Chicago on tho 10th inst. At the ear
nest request of tlie Captain of the steam boat
Sheldon Thompson, aud in consequence of tlie
extreme heat of the weather, he lauded two of
the six companies from Fort Monroe, at Fort
Gratiot, to he taken up by either the Superior or
the William Penn. Before his arrival at Macki
naw, four cases, resembling cholera, occured on
board tho Thompson. The four men were pla
ced in the Hospital on that Island, aud the troops
re embarked on tho moruing ef the 26th, all well.
At day-light, six cases of cholera were reported,
and iu tho course of tho twenty-four hours, thirteen
or fourteen others wore seized; nnd down to the
oveuing of the 11th, seventy-seven were attacked,
aud nineteen died. Two new cases occurred,
and six enlisted men died during tho night.
Tho troops were landed at Fort Dcarhom on
the moruing of the 11th. Most of the inhabitants
of Chicago nad fled, and it was difficult to obtain
au express. Although the cases havo been com •
parativcly fewer since they were landed, and
comfortably lodged, yet there were uot, arnoug
the four companies of artillery more well men
tlmu were absolutely wanted to attend tile sick
and bury the dead.
Major Whistler, with two companies, marched
out of Fort Dearborn to the distance of two miles,
to mako room nnd avoid tho infection.
It was General Scott's intentiou, if tlie coutin
ucd prevalence of diseasq render it impossible to
march with nn effective force, to proceed alouo to
General Atkinson's Cauip, which on the 9th, was
onWIiito water crcck, 55 miles from Fort Win
nebago.
Gen. Atkinson had with iiim 450 regular troops,
and about 2100 mounted voluntoers. Tho ene
my were 12 miles distant from him, about 8U0
strong. The country,_ in many places was im
