Shf left Sierra Leone on the 1st of Sept. and on the 3d Lieut. T. H. Kothery, her commander, died, when Mr. David Cowie, the Master, gave himself an order to act as Lieutenant and Commander. The most important article of information brought by the Snapper is, that the Ashantees were approaching Cape Coast, in considerable numbers, with ti i t ulilln of making an altackoil and plundering the colony. The private and public property there is very considerable. .Sir Charles Mac Cart by was about to leave Sierra Leone for the C^pe Coast, to direct the operations. Captain Laing, of I he Royal African Corps, had collected a force of 7000 men (principally natives) to resist the Ashantees. Commodore Sir Robert Mends, was at (J'klle Coast, with the Owen Glendower and Driver, for the purpose of affording all possible aid to the military forces. The ashantees were gii d to have armed within utile miles Of the colony.
