NOTE.-In Continuation of Intelligence respecting the Interior of Africa.

On the 21st October last, the Commander-in-Chief of the African station gave an order to the commander of H. M. S. Swinger, to convey to the British factory, at the mouth of Benin river, and there land, Mr. Belzoni, who made his appearance at Cape Coast Castle, with a view to penetrate into the interior, towards Timbuctoo. It so happened that, at this time, there was on board the Owen Glendower, a seaman known by the name of William Pasco, whose real name, however, was Abou Bouker, a native of Houssa, an intelligent and well-behaved man, about thirty-three years of age. This man left Kashna, or, as he calls it, Birnie-Kashna (the city of Kashna), about the year 1805, in company with a caravan of merchants; some intended to collect the Coola nuts in Gunja, and others with slaves for the coast. In four days' travelling (on asses' and mules, at the rate of twenty-five miles a day) from BirnieKashna, they reached a river as wide as the Gambia at St. Mary's, running to the right of the rising sun, and coming from the country of Gober. It is called the Quarra-luan-dadi, or River of fresh

water.

Five days beyond this, still travelling to the southward, they arrived on the banks of another river, deeper and broader than the former, called Gulbi, which runs through the countries Guari and Nooffi; and he has been told, and believes, that these two streams unite into one at Zugum near Kaba, and that it then proceeds towards the rising sun to Birnie Bornou. The Gulbi has a strong saline taste, and abounds with hippopotami and alligators. Proceeding southerly for several days (he does not recollect how many) he came in sight of a range of high mountains, one part of which, named Waoony, much higher than the rest, had a white top like marble (snow), and in its appearance resembled Fogo, one of the Cape de Verd Islands.

In about a week after leaving these mountains, they discovered the sea from the summit of some high hills, which having descended, they had to cross a small river called Echoo (supposed to be Lagos). From hence they continued their route in the direction of the setting sun, having the sea in sight at intervals on the left hand, and in ten days arrived at Annamaboe on the coast.

Here Abou Bouker took the name of William Pasco, and entered on board the Lille-Belt, with the determination of following the sea, a trait of no small degree of boldness in a young man from the centre of Africa, who had beheld that element for the first time; and he has ever since remained in his Majesty's naval service.

A circumstance, however, occurred which made him desirous of being discharged from the Owen Glendower. In a Portugueze slave-vessel of about 100 tons, were found, when captured, 187
