he editor -eleee of the A mixed English and French Commission has been appointed to discuss the principle and details of the Portendic claims. The English Commissioners are Mr. H. L. Bulwer, Secretary to the Embassy in Paris, and Mr. Rothery. The Commission is to sit in Paris, and to proceed in its labours forthwith. Mr. Rothery leaves town for Paris this day. A letter in the Times of Wednesday, signed "Potestas," and written by a person recently returned from the coast of Africa, where he had been some time a resident, mentions 'an act of petty tyranny very likely to have proceeded from the Colonial Office. It is said that Lord John Russell—instigated, no doubt, by Mr. Stephen—sent an order to the Governor of Cape Coast Castle to prosecute a British merchant for trading with Brazilian and Spanish subjects. The pretence for this interference was, that the merchants dealt with slave-traders ; but as Cape Coast Castle is a free port and open to traders of all nations, and the law permits commerce with Brazilians in Africa as well as in South America —to Cape Coast equally as at Rio—time Governor, it seems, demurred ; and the order from Downing Street remains urtexecuted. The correspondent of the Times also states, that when he was at Sierra Leone, two members of the Mixed Commission Court carried on an excellent business, and chiefly among slave-dealers. Have orders been sent out to prosecute them ?
