From the Columbia* Star# AM KRSCAN COLONIZATION SOCIK I Y. This socieh have recently puMi-h ?<l lltrir 6 th annual report. It is lu i id iu its details, ami very satisiac lory in its statements. The society liave 6ucceri)rd in obtaining: a tract of | country at Lape Mt-surado, about 250 miles south ol Sierra Leone, vt hither t lie colonists have be?*n re moved. The situation thus a< quired ? is stated to be highly favourable t*? health. I he land is liiph, the torest I trees are elevated, and the water is generally good. The fnlltiwiiig is an extract lr<?in the report: ?? The land purihaseit appears to include the \%h??le cape, *ith the mouth and a considerable extent ol' the river. ' ?? Tliis i iver empties itself into the J Atlantic* ami is in length about three ' hundred miles, being the lar?:-st Af ri( an n\er between the Km Grande ti> (lie mirth, ami the Congo to th? south. lis lirail waters are near those of i lie Niger ami the Gambia, hoth of which rise on the north ea*t wide of the same chain of mountains. Lieut. Stockton cmtsidei s this station not only important for the relief ami refreshment of our vessels of war cruising on the African coast, but as affording the same facilities to our merchantmen rtignged in the Kast India trade. To these advantages may lie also added* besides connec ted with the immediate object of ttic society , another of still greater in terest. Such a settlement as we trust this is destined soon to become, can not fail of producing an immediate and decisive effect upon that trade lhat still prejs upon Africa, and still disgraces the civilised world. M hat Sierra Leone has done, and is doing, may confidently he ex pected in every similar establish ment on th? coast. >\ hat has been there d 'tie. who can sufficiently es tim ale ? We may indeed there see a colouv of free blacks, increasing in numbers, intelligence and respec ta bility. We may th? re see a still more int?i est ing spectacle, in the thou j-auds of victims rescued Irom chains and tortures; once ignorant barbari ans, now instructed and dc\out con verts to t fie Christian faith, mani festing in the simple piety of tln-ir characters, the reality of that laith, ond giving a lesson or humility and r? proof, to Christians indenting the be<?t privileges in the roost favored countries. I lir*?e ai r great elf' i ts demanding our prai-e and thank'ul ness. Hilt Sierra Leone has lepaid Atru a with st:!l greater blrs-ings; her example, h*r influence, and ef. fort*-. ha> e given p-ace and security to t lie neighboring c -isst: and who f an estimate the extent of misiry j pi i vented . and of happiness conft ri cd to a population delivered from all the horrors of the slave trade? K\ery \ ear ffie limits of llii* benefit ence are extending, and the cheering ia\s of , lit r light dispelling a wider portion ( of i lie mot al liar k ness thi.t surrounds her. A t'd i?4 ii unreasonable to re jn. e that auo'her ramp; rt is to he i aised against, tbr power of the spoi- | ier. that another li.^ht is to arise and ; h:t.e '.pon ' fii^ b< nighteiS continent? fir to expftt that He who is thus . bltsstn^ one mm h labour with him - I cc*-. v ill gn?* i i is help in favor ol ' another:"* Kxperietii e has proved, that the! ruinate is I i t f !?? inure ii ? ?? 1 1 1 e to bla< k . than that of our own country, We i quote a paragraph from the report i on this point: ? ? Fro ii a comparison of the deaths j occurring among the white anil bla< k cla-vs of flte populati ?n ol Sierra Jj'-one, re?-pe? tivi ly, w ith I lie mortal- : jt\ experienced by the corresponding classes of emigrants i'rom America, tie conclusion appeals to lie autlioi - i/ d. tsie (Innate is iiiim Ii lens noxious to the blai k people, although tlie natives of temperate countries, than to the whites. J he result of all the experience hitherto had of the African climate, goes diie? tly to es tablish the conclusion, that it is riot materially unfavourable to the health of the citlourrd projtlc emigrating to A nca troin nur countries situated in tin latitude of the northern state-i ?>t Ameli a, or even in that of N??va S' otuiand < Ir- at-llritain; ami that the ostites of ilie middle and south ei ii states ma v sustain (he traimitinn. with liitk danger arising from the r bauge of rlimate. The small number nf d< ttlis w Inch hat e occurred among the colored people, and their general health sin-e tlieir re-nov,"! from < ampclar, confirms the. opinion ex pn.sfed hi the. last Hiinual report of the board. that much of Hie sickness and molality experienced at lhat nlsre, was ( au?'d by circumstances of n peculiar character."

Several indix iduaW. | t of respectable <|u*lih( atious, liavr of- 1 ? fcrred their services, in any useful | c apacity, on the coast of Africa. Doctor Ay res, in particular, lias . brrn smt thither, and bren actively engaged in promoting the object* of . the society. Several hundred blacks ' the tutted States, have offered tliein I selves tu t lie board, as colonists: and | ninny extensive proprietors of slaves have ?ignified their intention to libe rate them, and aid thcui in reluming to Africa. 1 Whatever inay be the opinions re specting the ultimate success ol tlir 1 society, there can surely be no doubt that their efforts, so far as they ex tend, h'iII be entirely beneficial, and ?nay be extensively instrumental in suppressing the slave trade. | AMERICA AN1) UUSSI \. Summarj ot the correspondence bftwefnilie secret*!*} o' ?Ute kiul flif Cliev*Ur Polrti Ci, iho Uutiiaii minister, relative to llie nnrlh-u ? st coast ot* America, communicated by tlic president to congress The first is a letter from Mr. I'o letii a to tlir secretaiy, communica ting tlir rfj;ulation adopted by the Russian American company, ami . sanctioned by the Emperor* asser- 1 ting a territorial claim on the part of li??ssia to the north west coast of America from Behring's Straits to thr 51st degrre of north latitude, ami interdicting to all commercial ves- ? sels other than Russian, upon the . prinl'y ol seizure and confiscation, the M|>ptoa< ti upon the high seas within 100 Italian miles of the shores. No II. from the secretary to Mr. 1'oleiiea, r\ presses the surprize of thr president at thr measure and re quests an explanation of the grounds ol it. No. III. in answer, is a detail of | these grounds, ?n which the Cheval ier de Poletica states the discoterv of llehring's Straits, and of Cape or 1 Mount St. fclias by lit bring in 1741, who with I', hirikoff discovered as far as the 49th degree ol north lati- i tude; the private expeditions in 1 T43, ! and the Russian settlements ? xisiing in 1 763, and found h? Cook in 1773; and other Voy ages made by Russian navigators, no aceount of whit h lias been published ? I he Spaniards had nut objected to I he Russian seitle- ? ments; and in 17S9. when the em peror I'aul ga\e the present Kussian American company its first charter, lie gave it the ex? lu-?i\e possession from the 55th degree of north lati tude to Be|iring*s Straits, and per mitted them to extend their discou nt's ami form establishments to the south. I he American government obtained of Spain, by the treaty o| Washington in I S 1 9. the right o the Spaniard:. i. ?rth of the 4 2d degree ol not th latitude, but the northern boundary was nut fixed. He run chides, therefore* that the right of Russia l est* on three re? agnized ba se-*: !ii?;t discovery, first occupation, antl peaceable possession for inure than half a ceiituiy. The American right was derived from Spain, who nevei ? lai nul against the limits as signed to the Russian company. And Russia might have extended ihem as tar as ih?* 49lu degree of north lat itude, 1 he J 1st degree is a ni.*au point between N? w An hang* I under the 57th, and the American Colony at 1 1 s :? niotith of Columbia liver, w!?u!i is under l!(e 4G!h dtgrec of the tame latiiu.Je.

Aiuerii a and Ana as a sfiht .nt. which the Russian givcrmnctK fc.'.-y.' i hrtv? entirely closed. No. IV. is the reply of the secre tary of state by directions of ihc ' president, ihat the claim by Russia is now for the first time asserted; i that its only foundation appeals to ' he the settlement at New Archangel, v? Inch is on an Hard: that in 17')9, the limits prest ribed by the emperor ! I'aul to the Russian company were fixed at ? lie 55th degree of north la- I t it tide, aiol that assuming thr latitude j at 5 1 new pretension not sane- | tio? rd by any settlement made siu< e J 799; 'hat as to ?he maritime prohi bition, M#e right to navigate those seas was pai l ot the n?drpendent e of 'he Lulled S'a'es and enjoyed ? ever since; that a? to its being a sHn sea fr in % merit a to Asia, the distant e Iron shore to shore is not less than 4000 miles; that the citi zens of the Lotted State* had a right to tiade with the Indians ax fully as to nangaie those seas; that no *j?e tfi coti'platnt was ever made i to the government of the TJ. States, ur it would have hem attend- to. N??. V. i? a letter from the Che valier de I'olctica to tha secretary of state, explaining the ground* ta ken in his pnor letter, with the ad ditional statement that in 1,89 the descendants of thr companions of capt. TrhirikofT, 462 in number, were found in the latitude of 48 and , 40. The idea of a shut sea ot 4000 miles in width is something new in the law-nf nations, we believe. Vat tel says, that ?? no nation has a tight to lav a claim to the open sea, or lo attribute ihr usr of it lo ilself, to the rx? litsion ol oilier*. The kings ul Portugal have formerly ar rogated t?? themselves the empire i?f the seas of liuiura and the t\as' In dirs; hut the other maritime [lowers I give theinsrlvrs liitlr tmuble about I such a pretention.*' The claim to the territory by the. ' Russian company, or the validity ?>f which must depend thr right to regu late i he distance Irotn tha coit-t, would iirui n ?> to ex'end south ??f 55, the 1 1 in it assigned i?? ii in IT 99. Tlie power to make settlements, ne ver executed, cannot onler any right; ih* accidental settlement by the descendants of T? hirikoff** com panions il continued, which dues not appear in he the case, cannot be con sidered as a colonization.
