No. 13.-Consul Campbell to the Earl of Clarendon.-(Rec. June 26.) MY LORD,

Lagos, May 1, 1856.

THE first annual payment to Kosoko, agreeably to the Treaty engagement made with him by myself and Captain Miller, of Her Majesty's ship Crane, having become due on the 31st December last, I notified to him that I was prepared to pay the amount he was entitled to receive, either in cowries or hard dollars.

I had no definite reply from him till a few days since, when on Mr. Peter Diederichsen visiting Epé, Kosoko requested him to inform me that the annual stipend to be paid by the Treaty would be of no service to him if paid in specie or cowries, as he would be obliged to distribute the greater portion of it among his Cabooceers; but that he would gladly receive the stipend in articles of ornament and utility, which he enumerated to Mr. Diederichsen.

As Kosoko has kept his engagement most faithfully, I hope your Lordship will approve of my gratifying his wish in this respect.
