By the Master of the brig Venn:, from nonavista, arrived here on Thursday last, we are informed, that on the sth inst. to windward of St. Jago, he fell in with an English expedition, consisting of one ship of the line, two or three sloops of war, and nine transports, which. from the course they were then steering. he imagined were bound to Buenos Ayres: but being s i gt r by one of the sloops, was iatormed by the who boarded, that their destination was against the river Senegal ; and"trom their having afterwards changed their course (he imagines in consequence of ascertaiting from him the land in sight), Senegal he conceives to be the obica of their enterprise. APRIL 28. His Majesty's ships Northumberland, Be&rite, and St. George, arrive in Carlisle Bay on Sunday even ing ; and yesterday morning the Canada and Ka maul, with the three former, the ship Waustead, of London, from Madeira, aho arrived, being recap tured by the squadron on Sunday mqrriing.

We have been furnished with a number of New South \Vales papers, brought limn Sydney. by Capt. Forrest ; we have copied into this day's Paper a few articles of The crops of wheat and maize, in the different settlements in New South Walei, had suffered con siderable damage from unusually heavy and long continued rains, which causing the river to over flow, the country, in many di,tritts, was com pletely inundated. Tip-pa-he, one of the principal Chiefs of New Zmiand, with five of his sons, made a voyage to Sydney, to pay a visit of respea to Governor King. He was received with every mark of attention by the Government, and by the ladies and officers of the settlement. His Majesty's brig, the Dray Nrlins, was fitted up fur the accommodation of Tip-pa-he ; and, alter remaining two or three months with Governor King, he emharked on board the La:, Nelson, on his return fee New Zealand, in Mari h or Aptil last, loaded with presents from the Government, and the different families in Sydney. The Chief was overwhelmed with gratitude for the atteation (Led numeroes favours he received ; and would carry to his native land a very favourable impression of the British charalter, which, in the sequel, may be produElive of much national good ; for in that re mote, and hitherto little frequented region, vve can discern new sources of wealth and maritime pros perity opened to the enterprising sons of Great Britain. A whale fishery has been recently established on the coasts of New Zealand, and promises speedily to rise to great importance. An intercourse has been opened with the natives on the sea shores, who are represented as much more docile than when first discovered. Pitmen.., and many other useful Euro pean vegetables, introduced amomg them of late years, by some of the English ships, are found to thrive astonishingly ; and tele natives, contrary to eipettatien, are attentive to their cultivation, and already raise considerable quantities for their own supply. DEC. 10. The ofrwial notification of the death of the King of Delhi, ;sliced on Saturday last, at ram o'clock, when a funeral salute was fired from Fort Wisharn, according to the usual form, in minute guns. extending to 78, being the number of yeas of axe obtained by the deceased King. A royal salute succeeded, in commemoration of the accession of Ackber Shaw. second sou of Shaw Allurn. to the throne of Delhi. The demise of the late King of ilindostan. and the immediate succession to the throne, have occe. sinned no tumult or commotion. Font troops of ci valry marched from Allyghur for Delhi, soon after the receipt of the intelligence. The lately deceased King possessed an energetic mind, though irresolute, indolent, and unfortunately prone to yield to the counsels of others.

It is reported, in the rhi-iisterial circles, that the loss in the second eagagement near Rosetta, has been much greater than what is stated in Ti, Ga seek. There are letters in town from officers on board Sir StONCY SAITH'S slip, the Pamper, who spoke with the Captain of the liisdrd. at Messina. He relates. that as our detachment were taking measures to relieve Rosetta, a large body of Alba. :thins came down the Nile in germs, supported by %SOO Cavalry. tinder the cover of a very thick fog, they approached oar army without being dis covered, or allowing us time to take the best posi tion to receive the attack. Thus they were enabled to attack on all sldes, and assisted by the Turks who sallied from Rosetta, the combat became close and dreadful : after an obstinate and gallant resist ance, our men were overpowered, and our loss in killed and wounded was supp.ised to be full 1500 men. The remains of tbe corps had a mast difficult retreat of 15 miles to the boats. to deatk. 4.

I was shocked to see the mi,ery of Fairwater—the people were turned out of then' houses to make room for the soldiers ; and tee Russians cutting down doors and windows for fire wood. Ships are now taking in troops for Stral sund, and some are going over to Nearing; others to the Grand Army. When the whole are joined. we exp.& to hear (fa great detest of the French Gl.l scud it, I say.'• We are told, in the Ministerial Newspapers, that one of their ratuphlets, called Plain Faris, isderai ?Plat, by which we presume, that meaning to puff it, with their usual propensity to blunder, they com pare it to their demi-of f icial Bulletins. That it merits the singular enlogium bestowed upon ir, we are not disposed to deny. If it is not from the same pen with the Bulletins, it is a manufaaute of the same shop, and fabricated from the same materials. To shew the candour with which it is written, it is only necessary to say. that the A u%hor abuses the late 'lir,isters for not giving assistance to Prussia, while we were at war with her ; and, as a specimen of his fairness, he compares the rank of Mr. AD A I a and Mr. ERSKINE. when entering the diplomatic profession, not with Mr. HARRIS and Mr. Firs- HEN WIT, when hi the same circumstances, but with Lord MALMESSURY and Lord Sr. after they have quitted it, and received the reward of their services. lie gives, afterivards.a sample of his judgment, by representing the views of the British Government in America as likely to be de feated by the recal of Mr. A.
