The terms of the Treaty are not yet officially proclaimed,
but it seems to be beyond doubt that Sir Garnet has demanded the cession of Adansi, the gate of Ashantee, or at least the renuncia- tion of all claim over the king and his tribe, who have entered our territories ; the withdrawal of all Ashantees from the coast, the maintenance of a broad road from Coomassie to the Prah, the surrender of all claims whatever on this side of the Prah, /200,000 in gold, and the cessation of human sacrifice through- out Ashantee. There may be difficulty about the gold, but as the King has not prospered, he may possibly leave off murdering, or if he does, his broken forces may refuse to stock his " charnel- house ;" while the Mussulman tribes will press heavily on his territory, and perhaps make converts enough to put an end to his dominion. Three of his kings are in mutiny already, and power may pass from his dynasty as it did from that of King Theodore, a much finer specimen of the noble savage. The world can well spare the dynasty, and so can Africa.
