All the above (hips arc expeded to arrive in about a fortnight. Moll of tire rice (hips were preparing to leave Bengal when the Indian Chief railed ; we hear that there is plenty of that grain on the coaft, and that the (hips will all have compleat cargoes. We underfland that the Indian Chief waschafed by an enemy in the latitude of the Scilly Iflands for three days, during a very brills breeze, but efeaped, owing to a friperiority in her failing. The enemy neared her in dole, that The was under the neceffitr of heaving all her keret packets over board. We have nothing interefling from St. He lena ; the ifland, we are happy to hear, was well fiipplied, the Lord Duncan and Windham having nearly filled the flores.

GEORGE'!, BERMUDA, JUNE 13.—0 n our parting from the convoy and fleet, on the fecond Sa turday after leaving you, ad May, I wrote you by the Him), then in N. lat. 47. W. long, sB. I alto did myfelf the pleafure of addreffing you on the a6th following, lat 59k. long. 60. per the Daphne, Captain MATSON, one of the convoy (hips to the Well India fleet, which we fell in with the morning of fame day, confiftingof nearly 250 veffels, all well. The evening of the third day after ( asith ), we had the good fortune and happincfs, without lots or acci dent, to make the land of Bermuda, or rather the Rocks, for fuch it teemed at firft view ; though we were up with it long ere the dole of day-light, Rill the Pilot durft not venture to approach it before the following morning, which occafioned our lying on tack all night, at the diftance of about' two miles t eight o'clock, however, on the follow ing morning (propitious hour 1) gave us to Terra Firma, and me completely to myfelf ; for loch I had never been from the inftant I left you till then. Of the infignificance of this place, as to corn. merce, I can !carte convey a jolt idea; nothing, in the molt diftant degree, aaive or brifk is done; retailing, at an enormous price, fome of the import ed manufadures of England is the whole of it,' and this is done in a kind of little fore (there be ing no fhops), moftly diftind from the houfes of the (eluded appellation) merchants.. Ship build ing is the only employment of the natives : of hut bandry or agriculture they know nothing-41fely looking on it as a mean employment, and one only fitted for their flares, of which they have through pride more than they can reafonably fupport, and whole introduaion into thefe i fiends is their peateft curfe, as the molt ufeful vocation is committal to them * the confequence is, that there is obliged to be a conftant importation of provifions (flour,l Indian corn, rice, cheefe, and beef, &c.) from America, which, Ihould accident, or one thing or other create a failure of, there is certainly a tem porary famine, until removed by a new arrival.— This is indeed melancholy, where the foil is ca pable of yielding almoft every predation fairly and carefully committed to it ; and where the na• tare of the climate is fuch as to render not the leali danger even to working Europeans ; for we have conftantly from forty to fifty men of the regiment differently employed in out-work, and they are, if poffible, the moil healthy in it. There is a new road now making to an outtoft (called the Ferry, in confequence of boats plying between it and the larger ifland of the duller, therefore named the Continent of Bermuda), and they work at it conifantly without the leaft danger, or fm111• eft neceffity of employing blacks. 'I he Fe: ry lies at the remote end of this Wand, St George's, the Town and Capital of the fame name being at the other ; the length of it is three flatute miles, and breadth only three quarters in its broadeft part, the moth being not more than a few furlongs, I can fee the lea at each fide, all along in my walk to the Ferry. " The abundance of delightful flowers here fpon taneoully growing is amazingly and wonderfully profufe--every where you are faluted and fur ' rounded with each fpecies of the Gerraneum luxuriantly bloffomed ; the Carnation, Myrtle, Gilliflower, Sage, Shrub, Role, Etc. abound, and diffufe fuch an odour, as would revive and excite a with for life in a dying Saint. I flail never for get itsinvigoratingeffeas on my fcurvy fpirits when I firft landed ; I could compare it to nothing lefs than Ter.rwactivs's - Elyfium $ loch was, and hill is, the fragrance with which the air is impregnat ed. The houfes here are only one florey high, neatly built and of a peculiar hone, quite loft and I wrought with laws and hatchets ; when expofed to the air, however, as in-walls, it becomes per. fatty hard. The houfes are as white as (now, being conitantly white-wafhed ; even the roofs, round which are fpouts, or condators for the rain water (the only frefh kind here) terminating in refervoirs or cilterns, attached to each houfe at its rear. Rents are enormoufly high, and there is no obtaining any thing like good bedding. I arrived here on 3oth May, jolt in time to receive, with the other Officers of the Garrifon, an invitation to the Ball and Supper on the 4th June, at the Go vernment Houfe, in commemoration of the birth of our beloved Sovereign ; the flipper was be,vond I expreffion luxurious in all the varieties, artificial as well as natural, of the feafon ; the Ball was moll gracefully and pundilioufly condated, !ailing till morning : and the decorous cafe and elegance with which the Governor received and paid off his ' guefts, (about 200) was truly inimitable. Governor BECKWITH is about 40, in perfon tall and grace full, his complexion frefh and florid, and his lea. tures oblong—had you ever teen the late lord Bel— -1 ILA Howl., in my opinion, you would have fcen his counterpart ; he has never married. In difpoll tion he is rigidly polite and ceremonious, and a ft, id enforcer of hibordination in es—Ty depart ment fubjetled to his controul."
