DEATH OF CAPTAIN CLAPPERTON.-The late Captain Clapperton's servant arrived on 7th May at Portsmouth, in the Esk sloop of war, and from him we learn that Captain Clapperton died on the 13th of April 1827, at Sockatoo, where he had been detained for five months, in consequence of the Sultan Bello of Sockatoo not permitting him to proceed, on account of the war between him and Bornou. He had waited there in hopes of getting permission to go on to Timbuctoo, and lived in a circular clay hut belonging to the Sultan's brother, the size of which was about fifty yards each way. He was attacked with dysentery, and latterly fell away rapidly, and became much emaciated. Two days before he died, he requested his servant to shave him, as he was too weak to sit up. On its completion, he asked for a looking-glass, and remarked he was doing better, and should certainly get over it. The morning on which he died, he breathed aloud and became restless, and shortly after expired in his servant's arms. He was buried by hint at a small village (Jungah), five miles to the S. E. of Sockatoo, and followed to his grave by his faithful attendant and five slaves. The corpse was carried by a camel, and the place of interment marked by a small square house of clay, erected by his servant, who then got permission from the Sultan to return home. He accordingly journeyed to Badagry, which occupied him seven months, and was taken off the coast by Captain Laing, of the merchant brig Maria, of London, in January 1828, to whom he expresses himself most grateful for his attentions, and the preservation of his being He states, that he nearly lost his life while at Badagry, from the Portuguese setting the minds of the natives against him; and that they attempted to acminister poison to him in his drink. te landed at Cape Coast, whence he was brought by the Esk. When travelling to Badagry, he lost four horses and two asses, from their being exposed to the sun, and fording the rivers, which were much swollen by the rains. He also confirms the account that Mungo Park was lost on a reef of rocks, which runs from the Island of Busa, (or Boussa,) in the Niger. Park got on the reef, and was unable to get off. When the natives saw him, they came down and fired on him and his party. Three black slaves and two white companions threw themselves in despair, in each other's arms, into the river, and perished.
