Watts, bound to Cape Palmas, west coast of África, and sailed to-day. Shc was brought back to the city and anchored off the battcry. Uerercw is composed prineipally of PortuguésO aad Spanïards, früm whom no mfnrtnation could be gained. Her cargo is such as slavers genorally carry. At tho time she was seizod Capt.
