LATE FROM AFRICA. ' Extract of a letter from the Amerhan Consul at the Cape ile Verd Islands to the Editors of the Boston Patriot; dated Viii.t ua t'rava, St jago, ) Cape do Vcrds, April 21, 1820. J The Venezuelian privateer cap. tured with her two prizes by his Britannic Majesty's ship IVIynnidon, Capt. H. Lceke, & carried to Sierra Leone, I am informed by Capt. Leeke, who arrived here on the 1 1 th instant, vas the A , formerly the Baltimore, of Baltimore, commanded by Cabt. Simeon Metcalf, cf Saybrook, Connecticut. The prizes to the privateer vere Spanish slave ships, captured near Cape Mount. Cape. Metcalf engaged eight slave vessels, and, after a severe engagement cf two hours and forty minutes, succeeding in capturing the. two, six having made their escape, when, the next day, he fell in with, and was captured by the Myrmidon. Came into this harbor, in company with the Myrmidon, on the nth instant, a large beautiful schooner, copper fastened and coppered, upwards of 200 tons burthen, mounting ten guns, her tender, captured, near Cape Mount, under Portuguese colors, having oncsteve on board. She was commanded by Capt. Green, and owned, as some of the crew testified in court, and from papers found on bard in Bristol, W. I. After condemnation, Captain Lceke puiuiased her for his tender; but yesterday disposed of her here, at a very large advance. 1 he United States, ship Cyznc Captain Trenchard, lias gone down to Shcibro ; and the Re Mr. Bacoh purchased of Captain Lceke a pilot boat schooner, in which he will proceed, with seme oiliccrs of the Cyane, along the coast to Cape Mount, before a spot is determined on to settle. Opt. L'. kc thinks the idea of settling at Sherbio will be abandoned, in consequence cf the shallow riess of the water, not being of Suilicicnt depth in the harbor for Ships of var. Why hive they abandoned the thought of settling at Bulam ? The island is fertile, having a good harbor, and situated to command the tiadc of the natives up Rio Crande, and considerable from the Cambia. lr is far the bett place in Africa to found a colony. Since the arrival of the Com"Tntlsioners for the trial or slave vessels at Sierra Leone, 3a of that description have been captured and condemned. The inhuman trafic is now carried onto an alarming extent. Ticnty vessels were reported the othcr day to be in Bissao and Gassa: Rio Grande, ell for (hies. Doctor Dorkett, with twenty men, part of the expedition into the interior of Africa, have arrived at Tombuctoc, where they were seized and confined, & stripped ot all their clothing, and all communication with Major Gray, at the entrance of the Niger cut off. Major Gray lias been robbed of all his amber and coral; but camels have' lately been dispatched with a supply to enable him to proceed. SAMUEL HODGES, jun.
