_The Guardian Genius of Africa calls a council of the other presiding
powers—describes to them the miseries occasioned by European
visitors—and proposes to each of them, in his department, to rouze the
different demons of the climate, and arm them to punish the invaders on
board the approaching vessel.—The morbific plagues crowd to the
vindictive standard, and, taking Death for their leader, stand embattled
on the shore.—The vessel arrives and anchors.—Native agents are allured,
and go out on the business of the voyage.—Slaves are brought down to the
vessel—are examined—purchased—put on board—and confined below.—Death, at
the head of his legions, beholds the scene.—Dispatches Cruelty from the
ranks to take possession of the master's heart.—Effects of this union on
the crew.—The whole pestiferous body advance to the attack.—Progress of
the sickness among the crew.—Death of Russel.—The contagion
spreads.—Dishonours of the dead.—Address to the British senate._

GUINEA VOYAGE.
