Those of our readers who wish to keep posted in the current history of tlie times will tliank us lor the follow ing short and concise account of the Ashautees, a semi-barbarous nation with which the English Government Is at present at war, which we con dense from the Chronicle: The Empire of the Ashantccs lies back of the gold coast in Southern Af rica. This government of semi-barba rians was founded in the early part of the seventeenth century. This then small but warlike tribe conquering contiguous kingdoms, until In the course of time the Asliantec became a nation of some three millions of peo ple. In 1807 the jurisdiction of this nation extended to the ocean that is to the Gulf of Guinea. The English had a settlement tit Cape Coast Castle, and the Dutch a trading post at Cor mantine. The Ashautees at this time came into collision with the Fantees. a coast tribe under lhe protection of the English and Dutch, and won a victory over tlie combined forces of the Dutch, English and Fantee. The result of this conflict wa a treaty which guar anteed to the Ashautees the right to trade with the coast. In 1801 another conflict took place the Ashautees on one side, tlie English and Fantees upon the other the advantages being with the Ashautees. In 1821 the forts of the African Commercial Company were formally turned over td the En glish Government. In 1822 Sir Charles McCarthy as made Govenior-in-Cliief of till the British settlements on the western coast of Africa. A fight again occurred between the Ashautees and the English, under the command ot the new Governor, and the Ashau tees were defeated. The next year another expedition was made against the Ashautees; Sir Charles was de feated, wounded and nearly all his olllcers killed. The Ashantees were not really defeated until 182S, when a treafv was formed which has continued in force till within a short time since, when hostilities again broke out be tween lhe Ashautees and English. Tlie Ashautees accuse the English of a breach of their treaties, and an en deavor to prevent them from having access to tlie coast for commercial pur poses. The Ashautees are not alto nether unfamiliar with the arts of civ ilized life, and have shown themselves exK.'if III the art of war. With the EtUZlish it is the old, old story : com merce and the English desire to push its enterprise tuto Central Africa, stamp every nation that opposes its encroachments as barbarous and every act as an infringement riirhts. of English On the morning of August 14th. Her Britannic Majesty's ship Brittle jiiii' lay at anchor off the mouth of the river Prah. A council had been held with the Cliamah tribe, who re fused the English alliance, preferring the friendship of the Ashautees, who have so long, to the savage intellect, demonstrated their superiority in war over the English and their better re reg".rd for the faith of treaties. Com modore Commerell. with Captain Bel- den and Commander Luxmore, en deavored to penetrate the interior in lwits with armed trews. The result was that tlie English found themselves in an ambuscade and were tired upon from the banks of the river, and com IK'lled to retire with several dead and wounded soldiers, and every officer, including the commander, severely wounded. Tlins there has been inaugurated another war. in which the English will secure for themselves all the glory, as tlicy alone will write tlie history of their campaigns. Already several towns have been bombarded, some hundreds of lives taken and the brave English army will be required to fight fevers and savages on this distant coast. England knows whom to fight. She magnanimously submits to arbi trament her differences with strong Powers; she boldly gives battle to Abysshilans and Ashantees. This looks suspicious: "A. Richard son and C. Sanford, with their wives, were capsized while sailing on Cohesus lake New York. The men swam ashore, but the wives were drowned." Central America.

Navy, arrived and landed 160 men t he railroad station, and at the request of tlie Government placed CO men in the city square. The Government has ordered all trains approaching the city to stop and the passengers to be searched. Admiral Almy has placed a guard IT. S. marines on tlie trains to shoot down all armed men who should attempt any interference, thus reliev ing passengers from annoyance and interrupt ion.
