Sin.: Agrecably to your instructions, I Iloceed to give you astatement of the proceedingiis of tile Agency ror Captuied Africanson tlhe Wwestern Coast ol'Africa. On the 25thi of JuN, 1821, 1 wasappoiwled a snirgeon to that. agelicy, and arrived on tile coast iil the>N(o' embeldrllow in Oil nil arn ka at Foura Bay, where tile cap-tuilre Ahricatns and laboriers then wvere, I Contid Mi'. J. 13 W inii, theUnited States' agent. had deceased. A feew days hetoie tile deatIof mI . iwin. lie iadl auitill)izetl ciilistiliiwitherget' ill casc of hisdeot hi. to take change 0 bi is papei s anl effects. all(d to act as U unitedStates' agent, mitil 'inc should lie apjpointed by the Goveirinment tosu pply his place. Nilr. W iltbei'ger was actiiig under this authorityvwhen I airr'ive(d ill A I'rca.

Trhe situation at Sherbro, which was selected for a permaanent set-tlemnent inl the Liust place, had been for'mially 'enouIlcCe(l by MLr. Willn,and no other obtalhied.

Mr. \Viltberger's health did iiot admit or his pirocee(linlg on, to tileexaminiationi of thle coast. I therefore took uponi ylnself so miuchl orthe United States' agency as respected the examination of the coast,pirocur'ilng a Ierlmllailenlt establ ishmeit, r'emovi ng tihe laboreis. andminakinig the necessary pre rations or recci vinig thieirilamilies, agree-abily to ilme instrntictions If' tile Navy Department to Mr. N ilii, datedIDecemluber 1, 1820. whichsays: "Ili nmakinig a st4 lement atl Slleibro,or cisewhe'e, as circumstances shall point out to be most expedient,tile first object orf yonm attention will be, to make the necessary ar-rangements with the government of thle comlttty. ro' sciih other l acessas you may select, with a fNll and candid explositioii of all thle objectscoiitem plated, ill which you will be guai'ded against possible de-Cep-tion, or bad faith; and theni proceed to make preparations rfor bnilId-inlg, to shelter tile capttired Ai'icans. and to aii'ord them comnfout andprotections no ti l they Cail be otherwise disposed of."

Alter this OIbje(t was accoiulphishled , I rctu rned again to Foutahi .13ay,for thle remaiiuder of the laborers and thleiL' families.

ci]~~~~~tOn the 2d day of April, 1822, Mr. Wiltberger made arrangements

to return to the United States; aid, after that date, all the duties ofUnited States' agent devolved on myself.

While I was absent from the settlement, on this occasion, a seriousdisaster occurred to the laborers at the Cape which.: for a time. in-volved us in a war with the natives, and'totally interrupted the pro.gress of their proceedings until my return.A British prize-vessel, with thirty fiv-e slaves, was cast away on

the bar, at the mouth of Montserado River. The exertions of ourlaborers to relieve the sailors on board the vessel, and prevent thenatives from plundering, was the cause of their IhostilitiesOne of the British sailors, by firing a canon at the natives, commu-

nicated fire to our Atore-house. and consumed nearly all the stock ofprovisions and clothing then on hand. This accident made it necessaryfor me, after restoring peace with the natives. to return to Freetown,and procure provisions and clothing for the use of the laborers andcaptives, until they could procure a supply from the United States.

X could respectfully .suggest to tee Department the importance ofhaving a deposite ni the settlement. of suhe articles as will be neces-sary for the United States' vessels of war, when on the coast. as theycan be furnished much cheaper direct from the United States, thanthey can be purchased in the British settlements.The company which was firmed in Baltimore, for that purpose,

being about to dissolve, owing to obstacles thrown in their way, thecolony will now be left destitute of sulch aid.

Sin. I have the honor to report to you, that, for the purpose of ex-ecuting your orders to me on the 25th of April, the Jackall and WildCat sailed, on the 26th of that month, fromiThompson's Island. Onthe following day, we made the Coast of Cuba, (Bahia Honda) andpassing Cape Antonio in the night, we were unable to look in there,although 1 felt a great desire to do so. On the 29th, arrived off CapeCatoche; andl, n the same afternoon, anchored between the Island ofContoy and the main land. This island is small, and thinly wood-ed, so tlhat it required but a few hours to examine every part of it.We could discover no traces of any persons living there, or even ofany persons having been there, except two thatched huts, in a very de-cayed state.

Early on the morning of the 30th wve left that Island, and approach-ing as near the shore as the safety of the vessels would permit, weproceeded to the Island of Mugeres, and in the night anchored be-tween its southwest end and the main land. On the following morn-ing, having foupd the watering place, the vessels were removed toit, arid, at the same time, cietachments of men were sent on shore forthe purpose of commencing an examination.This island is larger, more thickly wooded, and much more difficult

of access than Contoy; and we were, consequently, compelled to pro-ceed at a comparatively slow rate. But, sir, I can safely say, that, atthe expirati4nr of two days, almost every foot of Mugeres had beentraversed.

[13{120

We found, here, six Indians, from the vicinity of Sisal. They stat-ed tfhat they made annual visits to this island for the purpose of' inak-ing Salt, large quantitiess of which was piled up on the borders of thesalt ponds in the interior. While at Mugeres, we were visited by se-Veral parties of Indians. froin the main, and tIre islands of Cankum.

I conlzd glean notiliig satiisactory from these meel lespecting pira-cy. 'l'he stories they told vvere so very contradictory, aid seemining-13' without Ioundation, that it was impossible to reconcile then) witheach other, or with tr'util but froom all I could hrear, and fromn my ownobservations, Alugeres has not. foi- the last two years, been the resortof Pirates.A severe gale detained us at atichor three days longer than was ne-

From thence we continued our course to-wards New Malaga, cxamnin-io tire coast as we wentt along, and ar-rived there on the afternoon oit' the 8th. Some of' the Indianis had in-for'ued inc that a p)iratical 'esel was fitting ouit at that place; hut,sit', no such vessel was there on our' arrival, and the comirmandant,who is apparently a respectable man, assured me that the Fox wasthe last vessel lie hal s enu.On the 9thtwe left New M1alaga, and coasted it along within two

miles of the shore, looking into all the inlets and commniunicating withalmost every settlement between Malaga and Sisal, until our arrivalait the latter' place, late on the 11 tit. From tile time N e commencedour examirration ol' the Coast, ve have never sailed during the night,except once in chlace ora schooner, which proved to be a privateer fit-te(l out at Sisal, arid then, sir, I returned, with t1re Jackall, to theplace I discovered her, and waited untii tIe following morning.At this port the commandant has been barely civil to us, and tire

inhabitants, generally, appear to view us more in the light of spiesthan t'riends.You will perceive, from this report, sir, the manner in which we

have perfor'rned our duty, and I sincerely hope it vill meet with yourapprobation. To tire prompt andl active exertions of Lieut. Legare,I feel much indebted; and I assure you it would have afforded me greatpleasure to have been associated with Irimn for a longer time.From this place I shall proceed vith all possible dispatch, to exe-

SIR: In conformity to your orders of the 24th January. 1824, I sail-ed from Hampton Roads on the.28th February and proceeded to thecoast of AfMica On the 4th of April I anchored at Cape Mesuradoan(d visited! the colony of free people of colour, where I remained eight(lays. and have tIe satisfaction to report that I found them comfortablysettled, and at peace with all the neighboring nations. although ticyappre,,end that the tribe they had the difilcultyvwit!l previous to thuvisit of the Cyane is not friendly Ito thiem, yet they fl1) not believe theywill venture to attack them again. particularly, since m-y visit. as Igave the natives to understand that I should return tlee shortly. andthtey know that I supplied the coloniv with amthunition, provisions,&c. &c. a return of whichl I enclose. Tic appearavce ofthe Grampuson thie coast las beci of essential service to tie .settlement. The trade.-ith the natives in their immediate vicin ity- hadl been stopped for sometime, but when they found the Grampu.s to be a vessel of Warv the Kinigcilt in word that lie -would open the trade, and. before I left there the

natives began to come in with provisisr; amd ottier 'it'clos in coasileiable numbers. The agent for thle United States as ll.'-cia for Colonination Society had left the settlement soie time beforeme arLival theyhave appointed acting agents, Mr. Warming forw the TUiitcd Statt s,andMr. Johnson for the Society. both colored men. BY their adx ice. thepeople have elected a council oftwelve to assist in manaling the fahirsof thte colony, and by what I could discoxeL, thley appear tcte doingvery well, but they arc extremely desirous to ha-e the, advice of goodagents; they say they do not yet feel th'irselves comnpetent. to managetheestablishment.

They hayc an abun-dance of fine timber, and the soil is very good; and they all appeared

[1 {2tto be quite contented with their situation. They probably cnjoy asgood health there, as they would in any part of the world. Of the lastemigrants, one hundred and five,all have gone through their seasoning;three young children only have died, and they with complaints inci-dent to every climate and country. I have, made this detailed report,believing it would be agreeable to you, to the Society, and to all thosefriendly to the settlement, to know exactly how these people are sitila,-ted, as I have been informed at St. Thomas, that there are very discou-raging reports in circulation in the United States. We sailed fromthence on the 12th of April, and I am sorry -that I am obliged to add,on thle eighth day several cases of malignant bilious fever occurred onboard, three of which proved fatal. A particular description of thQcharacter and progress of the disease, by Dr. Halse, I beg to enclose.No person has been permitted to go on shore except when necessity re-quired it, and no persons were attacked with this disease except thosewho had been thus expose(l. After leaving Cape Mesurado, I beat tupthe coast to the northward of Rio Grande, but did not nicet with anyvessels coming within tlhc limits of nry instructions. Front there I pro-ceeded in the execution of your further orders, and, on the 10th of May,ancllore(l at Mlartinico, to obtain information, fill my water casks, andobtain other supplies. all of which were nearly exhausted. Sailedthence on the 16th, and anclhorc-d at St. Bartholomnews on the 18th;sailed again on tlme 19th, and anchored at St. Thomas on the 20th;sailed thence on thee 21st: called off St. Johns, Porto Rico, on the 22d,and communicated with the American Consul. The next dav I stoodclose into thle town of Aguadilla, where I found a Dutch man-of-warbrlig; communicated with the commander, who infhrmted me he hadbeen there some days, and had not heard of any piracies or suspiciousvessels in the Mona Passage lately. IRemained in the Mona Passageall night, an(l then made the best of my way to the Island of Cuba.

I have examined the North Coast closely as far down as SugarKey, where I anchored in consequence of seeing several tents on theKey. 1, however, found them to be the crew of a Spanish brig of warfrom Cadiz, cast away there twelve days previous. From there theweather did not permit me to approach the Keys along the Cuba shore.I examined Ginger Key, but found no person there, nor any indicationvf any having bven there recently.

SIR: I have the honor to inform you, that the Terrier, with thebarge Diableta in company, returned here yesterday. Lieut. Painereports the brig robbed off Escondido, to have been the Acasta, ofPortland. They robbed her of two thousand dollars in cargo, hersails, and anchors, beat the commander and crew severely, and thensuffered her to proceed to Havana.

Could I, sir, have received the information one day earlier, theDiableta would have completely succeeded in re-capturing the pro-perty, and probably have detected the pirates in thee very act. Theproperty stolen has been carried to Havana; at which place Mr.Paine saw and conversed with the master of the Acasta. The ap-liearanlce of the barge at so early a period after the transaction, to-gether with the very strict search, I trust W ill have a good effect.

N. L. Montgomery, who died oil the soth ult.in lat. 350 23' north, longitude 74' SO*, in consequence of which I,.onsidered it my duty to acquaint you with the events of our cruise,in continuation of a report commenced by Lieut. Montgomery, foundamong his papers, and hereto attached.The convoy from St. Jago de Cuba, consisted of the brigs Susan,'

of Philadelphia, Jane and Boston Packet of Kennebunk: we also fellin with, off Cape Dona Maria, and took under convoy,. the Englishhips Glasgow and Caledonian, from Jamaica. Having accom-)allied the convoy through the Crooked Island passage, as far asAlatland's Island, we returned to St. Jago, (havinig touched atCrooked Island to fill up our water,) on the 21st of June; we sailedfrom thence on the 22d, and arrived at Trinidad on the 27th.

Sailed from thence on the 4th July, having under convoy the brigsFlorida of Boston, Mary and Eliza of Sandwich, schooner Hannah,of Boston, and the French brig Duc d'Angouleme. Parted com-pany with the convoy on the 9th, off Cape Antonio, in order* to makethe best f our way to Havana, in conseqvernce of the sickly state of

]24

the officers and crew, the yellow fever having made its appearanceon board on the 6th, of which disease six persons, including Lieut.Commandant Montgomery, have died. More than half the crewwere attacked, but most of them have recovered.On the 20th we arrived at Havana, filled up our water, and sail-

ed same day. On the 22d arrived at Thompson's Island, and havingreceived the necessary supplies of provisions, sailed from thence onthe 24th. You may rest assure ed, sir, that the disease did not ori-in-.ate from any local cause. The general regard to cleanliness ob-served on board the vessel, and Licut. Com. Montgomery's atten-tion to the comforts of the crew,, would impress a belief that it ori-ginated from the unhealthiness of the climate, and of the ports welay in.

I have the honor to enclose you a correspondence between Lieut.Corn. Montgomery and the Governor of Trinidad, with other papers;also, a list of the oflicers ant crew of the Beagle.

On the evening ofthat day, off the Isle of Pines, I chased a very suspicious two-topsailschooner, which succeeded in inaking her escape during the night.
