GEORGE V. PROCTOR,
SCRAPS FROM LONDON PAPERS.
Mr. Brougham is among the distinguished opposition
members of the British parliament who are on a visit to
the continent.
The London Morning Chornicle, says that in a late
debate in the house of commons, as to the Algerines.—
Lord Castlereagh stood alone in hesitating about the ex
pediency of a war with Algiers. Lord Cochrance said
two sail of the line could destroy the forts of Algiers in
an hour.
A piece has been cut from his majesty's ship Victory,
(the immortal Nelson’s flag ship) to make two snuff box-
os, one for the prince of Coburg, the other for die duke
of Gloucester!!!
Young Napoleon is now called prince Prahcis Charles.
He is said to express himself perfectly well in German,
Italian and French. Stories of the learning of the chil
dren of the great are generally exaggerated. What is
improbable as to other children, is improbable as to
them.
A paper says, marshal Suchet,.who rose from the
situation of a journeyman barber, has been put on actual
service as a general by Louis XVIII.
The devil’s in it—if the barbers are any longer against.
Louis. .
During Lord Exmouth’s last visit to Algiers, two offi
cers (Captains Pechell and Ward, of the Clorinde and
Banterer,) took an excursion into the country, for a few
miles. On their way they were met by two janissaries,
who pulled them from their horses, took away their
SWords, rifled their pockets, and then tied their hands
behind them and led them into the city. But as the act
was unauthorized on the part of the Dey, every satis
faction was given to lord Exmouth. The English. Con
sul was likewise obstructed in the discharge of his duty,
and his family detained in the country; but this also was
done away.
The whole of the Barbary powers seem to have de
clared war against the Christians. Every day brings fresh
accounts of their atrocities. They are provoking their
fate, and the 1 vengeance to be inflicted on them will we
trust be speedy and effectual.
The plague still rages at Alexandria; the Austrian con
sul and his family have fallen victims to it. All accounts
agree ity' th e horrible depredations committed by the
Barbary powers, si neb the treaty with Lord Exmouth.—
They wage a murderous war against all Christians.—
Numbers of troops are marching towards Dalmatia, and
great excesses are committed between Costanezza and
Constantinople. Disturbances are 3aid to have taken
f lace in that capital, but the details are hitherto un-
nowti.
A French paper states a report, that Suchet has been
admitted to a private audience by the king, and replaced
in active service. It will be remembered that this man
w»s made a-duke by Bonaparte, expressly for the inhu-
n»D buteh&y which he perpetrated at Tarragona; and
that he was one of the first to join the standard of re
bellion in 1815. Another report assigns the place of
minister of the interior to Pasquier, who has proved in
Fanche Barel’s case to have been one of the parties en-
ed in a plot to entrap the royal family into France to
tmurdered.
General Girard, who has quitted France, is, it is said,
going to Stockholm to demand a considerable sum of
money from Prince Royal (Bernadotte) which he pre
tends has been due to him a considerable time. This
general was formerly his first aid de camp.
The painter David, who is exiled from this country,
has been disappointed in his views; he wished to be em
ployed by the king of Prussia, as inspector of arts, but
his request has been refused.
It is said in the Moning Chronicle that admiral lord
Exmoutlihas important communications to make respect
ing an illustrious personage. The princess of Wales is
undoubtedly meant. There have been some suspicions
tliatshewaSa little deranged.
The Chronicle hints that some circumstances in lord
Exmoutli’s fleet occasioned his return to England.
The prince of Coburg is admitted a member of the
British privy council.
General R. A. Seymour is appointed governor of St.
Lucia.
DREADFUL WAR IN AFRICA. •
London, July 1.
In our Last paper we mentioned an account which had,
appeared in the Dutch Journals, of a war that was ravag
ing the western coast of Africa. It was transmitted by
the Dutch secretary to government at the Castle of St.
George, Delmina, dated tiie 15th of March, and express
ed the opinion that our establishment of Cape Coast Cas
tle (miscalled in the Dutch papers Cape Core.) would
not be able to hold out against the furious banditti who
were coming down against it. *
We received on Saturday a letter from a gentleman
resident at that settlement, from which we have extract
ed the following particulars of the origin and progress
of the negro war. The letter is dated the 22d of March,
seven days later than the Dutch secretary’s account,
and is the only communication on the subject that has
yet been received in England.
“Since my last (says the writer) we have been full of
trouble, alarm and confusion at this place, and all
alongthe Fanlee coast. It appears that three or four of
the Island princes, having given some offence to the
king of Ashantee, he made war upon them, with a vast ar
my, and chased them from place to place, with dreadful
slaughter, till they Mine up to the Fantee territory,
where they received^ protection for a time. But being
again attacked by at least twenty thousand men, it was
impossible to stand against them, and after a sanguinary
battle the fugitives were not able to make a stand, and
they were routed and dispersed in all directions.
“The Ashantees having afterwards heard that they
found an asylum near this place (Cape Coast Castle,)
they dispatched a part of their army hither, with an in
tention of destroying the town, and, I am sorry to say,
there has been much skirmishing, and several heads taken
off by the v ictors, (for since the abolition of the slave
trade, it is the uniform custom of these savages to put all
their prisoners to death.) ; Mr. White interfered as soon
as he heard of what was going on, and dispatched mes
sengers to the Ashantee general, who has returned a pa
cific answer, stating that he has no intention to molest
not without alarm, as their army is so close to us, that
while it remains we feel as uneasy as if we were about to
receive the embrace a la Frangaise/ The fact is, that we
place no confidence in their pacific professions. All the
English formany miles round, have hurried into the Cas
tle with the utmost precipitation, where we are sliht in
with between four and five thousand women and chil
dren. On the other side, the Worsaw tribe have brougiit
an army down against Commeida, so that there is 110th-
ing but war and slaughter all around us. The Annam-
bocs and all the tribes as tar as Berracoe, are either mur
dered or dispersed, and such is our critical situation, that
we know not what will become of us, as it seems im
possible for any of us to leave the coast, as we have no
ships at hand, and the Lord Mulgrave is not expected in
less than a fortnight.
The following is an extract of a letter received in Bos
ton, from Bath, in England.
“The expense attending an emigration to America, is
really frightful, and enough to appal the heart of a poor
Englishman in these trying times; for it is with great dif
ficulty we can feed our families; much more raise a sum
sufficient to carry us across the Atlantic. I once thought
myself honored in being a native of England;, but those
halcyon days are gone, and whither can we turn our
thoughts but to America my adopted country; a country
which excites my admiration? I watch the great pro
gress she is making in the arts, 8cc. with pleasure. I view
her rapid strides to power and wealth with the most de
lightful emotions; and whenever I have the map of Ame
rica in my hand, I run my eye over her almost boundless
limits, and in extacy cry out, Jiere is space enough for
the growing energies of a great people. I contemplate
with pleasure its probable future great ess and stability,
and the present state of happiness which the Americans
enjoy. The only regret I have, is, that I cannotconsider
myself by birth one of them, though by adoption I may,
and therefore you are to consider me an American in ex
ile. ’Tis there, whilst reflecting on the strange vicissi
tudes that the old world is undergoing, I see the only
place of refuge left for its poor, unfortunate and perse
cuted inhabitants.”

FROM THE PACIFIC.
Nantucket, August 10.
A letter was received in this town on Wednesday last,
by Mr. Samuel Cary, one of the owners of the ship
Charles, of this port, detained at Valparaiso for being de
ficient of a sea letter, from a Spaniard, dated at Lima,
January 8, 1816, stating that the ship Charles, Worth, of
this port, arrived at Calho, on the 9th of December, 1815,
from Valparaiso, and that she sailed free on the 16th of
the same month—the letter also stated, that captain
Worth received instructions directing all commanders by
sea and by land not to molest or detain her. There are
several gentlemen on the island who are acquainted
with the Spaniard, and say he is a man of respectability.
The Charles, when she sailed from Calho, had 180 bar

England with 24#0 oil, which she obtained in II
