In 1812, the total number Cants were only 12,171, by which it will icy have been doubled in six years! colony was consequently considered to be se want of a considerable reinforcement of strength, there being only 600 of the 48th in the whole territory, who have to Rani• :wo principal settlements in Van Dieman's provide a company for the establishment at ;.uw, as well as to furnish parties for the va :posts of the now unavoidably extended lines ling Port Jackson, which permits very few to remain at head-quarters. anxiety on this subject has been long felt br stationary inhabitants, as well as that a King s 'nsuld be again stationed in the harbour, as a against the easy possibility of outward as to frustrate the numerous combinations of isoaers, who arc ever forming plans, and often to carry away the colonial craft, to ain destruction of their own and the crew's and.r.he ruin of the owners. Governor Macquarrie took the command, ltlotiEh there was not half the above-stated Ition, a sloop of war was stationed at Port and the military force was also much supe . present strength. From the same causes hopes are entertained that an increase to the ' establishment will take place, proportionate 'id advance of claims on their attention. ices had been received from Lieut.

We are happy to learn, that after an elapse of many years, and the failure of repeated attempts from this country and Bengal, a medical Gentleman of the Isle of France has succeeded in carrying the Vaccine Virus to Port Jackson in an unimpaired state ; and the children of the Colony are receiving the benefits of that invaluable blessing. As may be naturally expected, the inhabitants of this increasingly interesting territory look with rogret to the eagerness with which such numbers of deluded people emigrate to America, without turning their views towards their countrymen in the luxuriant and tine climates of New South Wales and Van Dieman's Land. AMERICA. The letters from the United States last received state, that Bank Stock had again fallen 5 per Cent. Extensive sales were made at New York at 11'2 ; few weeks previously they had been 125. Joseph Bonaparte and Mr. Clay, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, had am ved at Boston on a visit, but they were not expected to conti nue long. FROSI THE NEW YORK DAILY ADVERTISER OF THE 29TH OCTOBER. Bitto COLUMBIA.—Arrived in our harbour yester day afternoon, the hermaphrodite brig Columbia, in 23 days from Grenada. The Columbia belonged to Admiral Brion's squadron, and was brought off by the, persons now on board. The particulars of the case, as far as we have been able to collect them from a conversation with the crew, are as follow :—The Columbia was originally the Baltimore, of Balti more, was captured during the late war by his Ma jesty's ship Venerable, of 74 guns ; she was after wards sold into the Venezuelan service, and was one of Admiral Brion's squadron at the attack on Guira, (in the Gulf of Paria) on the 23d of August last ; on the first day of which she was taken by the Spaniards. She was, however, recaptured on the 24th by the flagship Victor is (of which Thomas, who acts as Cap tain of the Columbia, was First Lieutenant), and pro ceeded with her to a port or bay in Trinidad, called Chcquaramas. At this place, conceiving themselves under the protection of the British laws, the men, with Thomas at their head, demanded an explanation of Admiral Brion's conduct in the attack of Guiria, during which they concur in stating his behaviour to have been cowardly in the extreme—keeping his ship aloof from dangers as long as possible—when en ' gaged, dodging, and even lying flat on the deck to avoid the shot of the enemy, the utmost confusion prevailing on board. They also demanded some part of their pay and prize-money, neither of which they had received for a length of time. This was refused, and they were threatened with the most se vere punishment if they persisted in asking for it. Thomas then left the ship, with about 20 of the men, on the Ist of September, and proceeded to Grenada, whither the ship and brig also went. Upon Brion's arrival they endeavoured to obtain the payment of their wages and prize-money, being British subjects and Americans; but the British laws have not recog nized the rights of its subjects to eater the service of any foreign power, and could afford them no redress : they therefore determined, as the only means of ob taining some compensation fur their services, to cut out tne Columbia, then lying in the bay, near Brion's ship, and the forts. Thomas anti eleven others accord ingly boarded her, at night, on the 30th ult. cut her cable and put to sea, no attempt being made to stop them. There were on board at the time, an Officer, seven men, and a boy, who were asleep; four of the men, being only employed on board, were allowed the boat to go on shore: the Officer, at his request, was put on board a vessel which they fell in with, bound to Savannah. Upon getting to sea they made for the United States. On entering the Capes, with the view of proceeding to Baltimore, they were taken possession of by the revenue cutter, and sent in here.

Another duckling was declared this morning, at the Stock-Exchange. The private accounts by the Dutch Mail arrived' this morning, state the failure of two more Banking houses in Amsterdam, for very large sums. The Ex change on Amsterdam, fell in one day 1 per cent.' and there was a complete stagnation to all monied interest. Discounts could not be obtained at any price. We mentioned, about a week ago, that a report was prevalent in the best informed Military Circles, that the Dike of WELLINGTON was shortly to super sede the Earl of MULSRAVE in the Master. Genera lship of the Ordnance. We now learn, not without sincere regret, that the cause of this change is the infirm health of the worthy Nobleman, who has so long presided, with so much satisfaction to the Army at large, ooer this department. Yesterday week a letter was read from the Noble Earl, at a meeting of Coun cil, stating, that in consequence of his continued indis position, he felt himself unequal to the responsibility of business, and expressing his wish that arrange ments might be made to enable him to retire before the meeting of Parliament. The Council accordingly came to an agreement to offer his Lordship's place of Master-General of the Ordnance, attended as our Readers are aware with a seat in the Cabinet, to the Duke of WELLINGTON, as soon as the PRINCE REGENT'S pleasure could be taken. This post will place the Noble Duke next to the Commander of the Forces—a high and dignified situation which his Grace's eminent services have amply deserved. Connected with this change we understand that Admiral Sir ROBERT MOORSOM will be removed from the Board of Ordnance to a seat at the Admi ralty Board. Mailsfrom Harnburgh and Holland arrived th'i forenoon, with Papers to the 20th and 24th inst. The following is the Exchange Report of Amsterdam, for November the 20th : EXCHANGE REPORT. Though there was great inclination to purchase at higher prices than those of yesterday, yet, in conse quence of an agreement made, no general business , was done, and, consequently, no prices are quoted. The state of the Exchange at liamburgh on Lon don, was as follows: Nov. 17, 32. 3-32 6 ; Nov. 20, 31. 10-32 I. An article from St. Petersburgh, of the 13th of October, states, that there, as well as at Riga, the importation of large quantities of gold a;:d silver from foreign countries still continued. The following are other extracts: BRUSSELS, NOVEMBER 21. We learn from Lille, thin General Jumilhac has issued a new Ordinance, respecting the military go vernment of the provinces, which, in consequence of the evacuation, me given up to the yrencb Military Authorities. This Ordinance will be carried into effect on the 25th. A general address has been published to the young men of the 16th Military Division, in order to pro mote, as much as possible, the voluntary enrol ments there. Addresses from time to time seem to have a good effect, and it is generally thought that the regular army will be completed as fixed in the Royal Ordinance. Of the persons who have been lately arrested in this city and on the frontiers, and are detained in close confinement, many have undergone long interroga tories; but the whole being kept a profound secret, the reports on the subject are various. It is affirmed, however, that the affair will be brought before the Tribunals. STOCKHOLM, NOVEMBER 3. Count Morner, who has returned from Ncrway, now resumes his post as Governor of the City. The following Advertisement in our Newspaper has rather checked the profitable trade of selling to the Believers pure water at the price of wine : " The peasant woman Brigctta, daughter of Gustaf, who had the revelation respecting the wonderful spring at Loena, having learned with affliction the great abuse committed by certain tradespeople iu hawking about this blessed water, and selling it at h high price, both in the capital and elsewhere, is obliged seriously to inform the sick, that this miraculous water, to pro ' dice any effect, must be used without paying for it ; fur all pay ment of this Divine gift is clearly prohibited in the third point of the said revelation, and all those who offend against it must blame themselves if their disorder becomes worse in conse q•rence of theft- disobedience." CONSTANTINOPLE, OCTOBER 11. Some farther changes have been made in the mu tinous corps of the Janissaries. On the 26th of las: month the Aga was deprived of hit post and ba nished to Rodasto. The cause of this change was a violent dispute which broke out between the Janissa ; ries and the Artillery at Scutari. Two more new Bira Emini (Inspectors of . Build ings) have been lately appointed, to carry on the plan of the Porte, for the streugtiening of the frontier fortresses. The new High Admiral spews pleat ac tivity. Several vessels have lately arrived with' tiin ber for the arsenal. The repairing of the great three decker, Selimije, is completed, and this immense ship will go out with the three-deckers Messudije and Mahmudije. The last accounts from Bagdad, confirm indeed, the taking of Derasch, the capital of the Wechabites; but it is added that those sectaries have made a sally from the fortress into which they had retreated, upon the troops of the Pacha, and put them to flight. The Paris Papers of Tuesday arrived this morn ing, but do not furnish a single paragraph worth ex tracting. The official part of the Mohiteur contains the series of official documents which were pub lished here from a private source on Wednesday, containing the final result of the proceedings of the late Congress at Aix-la-Chapelle.—Five per Cents. on slonday, 69 fr. 25 c. The following is an extract of a private letter from Paris, dated November 21 : lose no time in communicating to you the important in ' telligence, that the Ministry have determined on suppressing the preliminary censure to which the French Journals were sub jected, and of proipsing a special law for their regulation. The matter is to be itnniediatcly discussed in the Council of State; and I am informed that the clauses of the taw comprehend every species of offence, and even discriminate with precision between the various shades of calumny and scandal. The news papers will not, from the lit of January, appear by pirilege as heretofore; but a deposit of 72,000 livres will be required,bear- Log interest of 4 per cent. and serving as a caution. From this mass the fines to which the alitorg may occasionally be con demned will be collected, and they will be obliged to complete the original sum within a given period. The cognizance of all matters relating to newspapers will be exclusively left to a jury, as in England." The Duke of GLovcrsran arrived at Strasburgh from Upper Suabia on the 17th instant. The French Journals which announce this arrival do not say whe ther his Highness is on hit. way t&England or not. THE ARMY. CORK, NOVEMBER ft.
