LIYERPOQL MERCURY. SATURDAY, JUNE 10, 1876 $0. 3 be ooW Hiscenattjoits. SP0EHNG. TO THE INTERIOK OF AFRICA BY WAY OF THE WEST COAST.

No. II. In fnrther describing his experiences whilst exploring the Volta and puBhing his way to Salaga, M. Bonnat Bays On Monday, the 10th of January, I moved inward. One hoar after my departure I passed by the small river Bassomebony, whifA I had previously crossed on my way from Coomaasie to Atebobo.

In the afternoon I saw several pretty villages on both banks of the river, and towards sunset I anchored my canoes and encamped on a bank of sand. On the following morning, at four o'clock, I was ou the way. About seven o'clock, I passed an island more than a mile in length, at the head of which there was a very large bank of sand and stones. Of these stones I made a small collection. They are very curious in shape.

Dolish. and onlmir. osnpoiftllv otih demand I stated my commercial intention, mentioning Salaga as the end of my journey. When I had nniBhed speaking, the chief gave the signal textile assembly to break up, without answering me a word. The chief seemed to be very uncomfortable in my presence, and none of them could bear my look.

Just above Crackey, there being a cataract, it was impossible to proceed further by river I was, from this spot, obliged to find my way to Salaga by land. This same day I made my camp at the entrance of the town, made a good shed in the middle, and unloaded my canoes of their salt and goods. On the Friday I took a walk on the road to Salaga as far as the next village, about four miles northward. I that precaution in case I should be obliged to force my way through On Saturday, the 22nd of January, I saw all the chiefs leaving the town to disappear in the bush. 1 learned that they were going to consult their great fetish to know what they should do in regard to me and my projects but the fetish that day was deaf and dumb, and thpviviiilH i Alley then took counsel together a.s to what it was advisable to do.

It was, of course, decided to use all means to stop me from going to Salaga, and the chiefs and representatives of Djuabin were sent to me to say that nobody from the coast had ever passed there, and that they could not allow me ta pa.ss. I let them know that everything had a beginning, anil that I would open the way for others, and that in order to go I would go over everything. My answer was carried to the bush where tbey were assembled. An hour afterwards the same messengers came back, when they found my men cleaning the arms and looking at the ammunition. They asked me if I was sent by the governor.

Upon my answering in the negative they said then they would send a- messenger to the coast and keep me there till his return. I said to the messenger that they were making a great mistake, for a repetition of Atebobo I would not allow that they could listen to the counsels of the Djuabin if they chose to do so, but they must know that they would bear all the consequences of it finally, that on Monday morning I would start for Sajaga, aud if they really meant to stop me they could come and meet me on the way, for I had decided to go, with or without their consent. In the evening the fetish priest found his tongue again, and spoke the mind of his fetish. The fetish Diute (the same that had sent the order to murder me to the chief of Atebobo), spoke thus This same white man was the cause of the destruction ofCoomassie. The King of Djuabin had him arrested lately and his town also was destroyed.

If you do the same, indubitably the same will happen to you, so do not injure him in any way." This good fetish priest was wise enough. The number of sniders, rifles, revolvers, and other weapons which had artfully been exhibited and tried, the double sentries that had kept watch day and night, whose voices had, kept them awake, together with the unmistakable words of mine reported to him, had left him without doubt that I was ready to meet them and do them a bit of harm. The way was thus clear before me. ivionaay, January 24, I started for Salaga. la the evening I slept at a large village called Calessn on the 25th at Bediamesso and on the 26th at Earn Crankoo, on the bank of the Bplendid river Dakah.

The chief, on learning that I was near his village, would have hung himself, for he said he would not see his children and wife carried away by me and without the intervention of a Mahomedan he would have ended his days. On the 27th I slept at Kami Tchua Su; on the 28th at Crompey and on the 29th, in the morning, I arrived at Peme, the residence of the king and notabilities of Salaga, which is the market place two miles to the west. Here I was received by Assoomoni, one of the principal chiefs. His manner was polite, but I could detect much suspicion and defiance in it. I asked to see the king, but he told me he was absent, and I could state to him what I had to say and he would let him know.

All that was not very encouraging. J41 the afternoon I learned that a great part of the people had fled iuto the interior, for it had been said that I was coming for war purposes. I saw immediately the hands of the Crackey in all this, and I resolved to capsize the plan they had laid against me. Iastead of going into the house that had been appointed to me as a lodging, I pitched my tent under a large banyan tree iu a square in the town. The seeing that I was not firing at anybody, and attracted by curiosity, began to come near me, and by and by forjned a dense circle around me within a respectful distance.

I then called several children and distributed some small pieces of silver. The opinions they had of me began to change, aud the circle around me became narrower and narrower at each threepence I distributed. I soon entered iuto conversation with some of them, spoke of my peaceful and commercial intentions, which I said would largely increase the importance and the wealth of Salaga. My speaking in the Anhantee language was understood by all of them. I interested them very much, and attained the point I aimed at, for before the evening the king himself let me know that he would see me and give me a public reception on the morrow.

Thus the plans of the Crackey were frustrated. On the morning of the 30th, Mahomedan and eathen ch i ef on horseback arrived from al 1 arters, and towards midday the King or Sultan of Salaga, surrounded by all the nobility of the land, received me in one of the squares of Peine. After the usual salutations, I was called on to state the object of my visit and my intentions. This I did at some length, and was entirely successful. All my demands and propositions were gladly consented to, and at the end of the meeting, which lasted two hours, Salaga, and Central Africa with it, were open to trade, Christianity, and civilisation.

That moment of success repaid me fully for all the trial, danger, and hardship I had gone through to secure it. After the meeting, I went to my small camp and sent tlie presents I had for the king ami different chiefs. As I received a message from the king saying that a runner had just conic from the bank of the Volto uimounciug that a white man was coming with armed men by the way of Ashantee, and he asked me what was the meaning ofc this. The king and his advisers were frightened. I icnt some of my people with on answer assuring the king that he had nothing to fear and, to give more weight to my statement, I took the oath of the country, which reassured them immediatelv.

In the afternoon I took my hammock and wont to Saloga. I walked through the greater of the town, and, hearing that the white man referred to was just arriving, I directed my steps tow.irda the end of the town, and there I arrived in time to bid welcome to Dr. Golsbury, special commissioner of the Governor of the Gold Coast. It was a very pleasant meeting. Of Salaga, aud its eminent importrmce in ,1 commercial and geographical point of view, I shall speak in a special notice.

MR. JOHN CLARE AXD TIIE HOME SECRETARY. For many years Mr. John Clare has been one of the most familiar figures in the lobbies of the House of Commons. From the hegiiiuing to the end of each session he has pertinaciously pressed his claims upon members, some of whom have lent a patient ear to his representations, whilst others have proved anything but willing auditors.

This session Mr. Clare has been at his old rvt and some complaint seems to have been wade to the Speaker respecting him, for orders were recently issued by the police forbidding him to cuter the. building. Mr. Clare thereupon wrote to the Home Secretary, protesting against this 'interference with the liberty of the subject at the People's The following was the reply TO JOJl.V CLARK, Ef).

Whitehall, 3'4h May. Sir, I am directed by Mr. Secretary Cross knowledge the receipt of your letter of the 27lh itist. complaining of the conduct to you of the police on duty at the House 'of Commons and I ant to aoqieir.if yoii in reply that the police, when employed within the 'House of Commons, are subject to the orders of the one of which is that, during the session of Parliament, no obstruction or disoiilcr lie allowed in "Weslminsier Hull, or in the passages leading to and from the house, during the sitting of Parliament, and that- there be no 11'imoy-anee therein or thereabouts. I am to add tlnu the.

Secretary of State, cannot interfere witli such orders nor with the' efforts of the police to carry lliem out. (Signed) A. F. O. LIDDELL.

In answer to this, Mr. wrote to Mr. Cross, repeating his protest against au act which "to him individually was a positive hardship, and in general an outrage upon the right of the people to have free access to their parliamentary representatives. He therefore called upon the right honourable gentleman, as member for South-west Lancashire, to take me into the lobby of the People's House." Here the matter rests, Mr. Clare being still denied ingress at parts of the building.

I passed by several villages again, and the middle of the day I arrived at Akroso, the chief town of the Boeme country, at the confluence Of the Abbu Co Co (Red River), one of the uffluentsof the Volta, coming from the chain of high mountains iu the cast. There I met the chief, whom I had seen in Ashantee, and was well received by him. Akroso is about 80 miles from Aknamn, on the left bank of the river. I should have been very happy to push a small exploration into the Hoiim count, lint had no tune, for I desired to reach Salaga before mu rainy season oegan. un tile ltli of January I went to see a very bad rapid about a mile from the town, where the river is quite cut by huge rocks.

In going up the river, one would believe at first that there was the end of it, if a very strong current did not contradict the idea. In following the way of the current (going up, of course) one goes altogether to the extreme right, then at a right angle there is a narrow passage of twenty yards, where the river precipitates itself with great violence. No paddling would have brought my canoes over this, and, being too deep to allow my cnnoe.men to use their long poles, 1 had to find a means to get over the difficulty, which, happily, was amongst those I had foreseen. That same afternoon I passed over two of my larger canoes with the help of a long rope. On the morrow I started again with my flotilla, and after the Iron Door (the name I gave to the difficult passage of Akroso) I had to get through two other rapids, where one of my canoes ran great danger.

At one o'clock all the rapids were passed, and I pushed forward. The river, which, since I left Akroso, had been so full of rocks and difficulties of sorts, was now again broad, deep, and smooth like a lake, with Bplendid small villages on both banks. At sunset I was across a great bank of rock taking half of the river, and, seeing no village near nor in the distance, I made ready to encamp for the night on these rocks, to the great disappointment of my people, who observed that hippopotami were in far greater number in this Dart tlian anvwhem elw they were afraid of being attacked by them 111 me iiiguc. laugnea, ot courBe, but they were, not satisfied; and one of them perceiving some smoke on the other side of the river, they all called out, and a voice answered from the bush, by which they learned that a mile further ou there was a small village on the left bank, to which we proceeded, and arrived at night. This village waa composed of huts of a different style to those I had previously seen.

They were circular, the wall made entirely of swish, and they had only a narrow and low hole for a doorway. I was very well received by the old man who Beemed to be the chief of the place, and he made me a present of a large piece of antelope for my supper. Ilearnedfrom him that it was the first village on the territory under the direct jurisdiction of the fetish craft of Crackey Dintey, from which place it is distant about twenty miles. This reminded me very vividly of the message of the fetish priest of Crackey to Djiamikooakoo, with the order he had sent to him to murder me, saying that a white man had never come to his country, and that he should never come. I knew also that the fetish craft had entered into a compact with the Djuabins and the Kodiabes to exclude everybody from the great market of Salaga, in order to keep the entire monopoly of the trade in their own hands.

But since then since my arrest by the Djuabins I had beeu well avenged. I had learned about the end of DecBmhev that tho Ashantees had completely destroyed Djuabin, and that Assafoadjie was a refugee in the English colony. Besides, I had sworn to reach Salaga or die. I had determined to take the bull by the horns this time, for there were uot two wayB to Salaga, and the village of Crackey I was obliged to go through. On the 14tb of January I started early in the morning dined on a bank of rocks passed several villages, and also arather important affluent of the Volta, called Otee.

Towards evening I arrived at a place where the river was divided by several small islands, between which were difficult rapids. On one of these islands I encamped for the night. On the morrow I passed several of my canoes through the rapids, and the 15th being a Sunday I let my people rest. Here I was joined by Mr. Bannerman, whom I had left behind.

On the morning of the Monday, my small expedition, consisting then of nine canoes, pushed forward. Five miles from this spot we found a new wall of rock before us, through which two narrow but exceedingly deeD passages crave an outlet to the water. About two miles further there appeared in the distance what seemed to me to be a regular mountain across the river, with white spots on it. On getting near I saw thatithe.se spots were the water of the river, and that the apparent wall was a rapid with a fall of 25 feet, and extending G00 or 700 yards. The appearance of this fall was very grand, though anything bnt gratifying to me.

Through the water I had to pass my canoes I had no pilot to show me the passages, through thousands of which the water was foaming. I pushed to the rightwhere I saw some natives, and I asked them to show me the way. They refused, protesting that they did not know it but the truth wus they had been forbidden to tell me by the fetish craft of the Crackey, who knew my coming and hoped I would draw back before so great an obstacle aa the rapid of Laballe. I then took the only means available, namely, to find the way myself. I took eightof my best men iu my smallest canoe, planted the flag in the middle, and pushed towards the foot of the rapid.

I had already crossed many a rapid I and my people were accustomed to the dangers. We were soon among the foaming water, and began to push with our long poles, which very soon became useless I then let all my people jump into the water, and we kept pushing right and left. We were obliged tocome back on account of rocks at the level of the water, and in consequence of the water being too shallow to allow my amoea to go up. After three hours' hard work we overcame the difficulty, found the passage good, and triumphantly planted the flag on a bank of sand abovo the rapids. On the following day my four other canoes were got over without auy accident, and on the 19th January we left Laballu, to proceed to Crackey.

About six miles from the town the expedition stopped to make the, preparations necessary; and although I have a great aversion to show, I thought ft now my duty to make us much as possible. I had a beautiful flannel cover made for my easy chair, a velvet and I dressed as well as I could. At two o'clock I started ono of my canoes with a message to the chiefs of Crackey, announcing my arrival for the evening. At three o'clock, the flotilla started, in 11 single line, leaving a distance of 20 yards between each canoe, Each canoe had a flag. Mr.

Bnimer-man was in the first canoe, and I in the list, with the English flag. A mile aud a half from Crackey we had to go through a difficult pass, where we were kept longer than we expected, anil it was towards half -past five when we came in view of Crackey. On the top of a high rock, I saw the flag of my messengers waving; it had been planted there by my people to guide me and show that it was all right. On approaching, we began to distinguish a crowd of people looking for us. Slowly and with order we advanced in silence.

It was 11 rather imposing sight. The elders and chiefs of the town had sat waiting to receive us, but being rather late I sent to tell them that I waa tired and would see them in the morning; and instead of going iuto the town for lodging I made a camp, surrounded by all the flags waving on long poles, the guns being all piled in the centre, aud fires lighted. It was a splendid sight, such as the Crackey had never witnessed before. I hoped, in thus acting, to inrpres the people nor was I mistaken, Towards nine o'clock in the evening, five messengers came to salute me on the part of the chiefs. When they returned, they of course reported what they had seen in the camp, and they were sent back to ask the meaning of all the flags, in which there was so much red.

I told them to tell their masters that most part of these flags had 110 meaning, but I added, hi showing the flag of England aud the flag of France, which were in the middle of the camp, "Go, tell yovtr masters that these two only have a meaning, and that is that they never draw back, but go wherever they intend to go." I then dismissed them. On the following morning, the 20th of January, I sent my messengers to tell the chiefs that I was ready to salute them, and they soon sent me their messenger to report to me that they were ready to receive me. We went Mi-. Bannerman and I surrounded by all our armed men. We found the chiefs and principals of the town collected together and sitting in a square of the town.

At first sight I could judge by the old chief aud his officers of the effect of my appearance among them: the grand show of arms, flags, had impressed them so had my message, and I felt myself almost master of the situation. I passed before tho assembly, saluting them with the hand, but without shaking hands with anybody. Near the end of the interview I camo face to face with the emissaries of AsBofoadjie and several chiefs of Djuabin, who had arrested me at Atebobo, and had come to same hero a second time. I went straigh and shook hands, asking news of their at the same time, I said in a low voice-that since my arrest at Atebobo yom beon destroyed, your king driven into remember well, too, that when I went I was a eheep now I come as an irritated lion take that to your governor." 'x fellows who were bo wild at Atebobo, am so loudly, cowered silently before me, thei bodies covered with dnops of perspiration. Having finished the Balutation, I sat down the afloembly to receive theirs.
