[Extracted from a flopplemeotal Report of the Committee to the Directors of the Afrieau Institution, dated May, 11521.1 to the month of September last, the Sieur Le moinv, master and owner of the schooner Pitspore, or the Bumbodie, left the Mauritius under English colours, shaping his course towards the coasts of Madagascar and of the Mozambique. He fell in with a Portuguese vessel, laden with Negroes and gold dust. An esgeruess and thirst of gain seized upon his soul ; he run alung-side of the Portu guese vessel, and immediately killed the mate by a musket-shot ; having boarded her, he soon obtained poasession of the vessel thus attacked ; and his hest questions were addressed to a Portuguese Colonel, aged 50, of whom he in quired where the money and gold dust were deposited. After this short interrogatory. Le moine purposely stepped aside, and a man named Reineur, who was behind with a pistol blew out the unfortunate Colonel's brains. But these crimes were nut enough to satisfy their savage in humairi'y. The master of the captured vessel, alarmed by the rapid succeasion of these massa cres, threw himself overboard, in order to escape • more immediate death. Vain hope ! the fury of Letuoine and his accomplices was not yet allayed. They pursued him in a boat, and, having soon overtaken hits, they cut him on the head with a 'else. The unfortunate man feeling himself wounded, caught hold, in order to support himself, of the boat in which his murderers were, who, profiting by this last effort of drawn, had the dastard cruelty to run a sword into his throat, the point of which came out at the side of their victim ; the body disappeared, arid they returned on board fatigued, but not satiated with murders ! They shut up in the hold the remaining Purtugtrese sailors, and after having biker) off the lick cargo, they scuttled the ship ar.d sunk her with the crew they had thus shut up. 1 own, Monseigneur, that such horrid :sets of cruelty would be too painful to relate, were they not seldom found to be accompanied by such frightful details. After this infamous expedition, Lemoine went to Mahe, which he soon left fur the Mauritius, leav ing one Basset, his second in commaud, iu charge of the schooner at Seychelles. . . . . Oa his arrival at the Isle of Front's., Lemont* orde.ed Basset to sell his vessel at blab., which was done through the means of the Judge of the Ad miralty. But when Basset donned the unsount of the sale, the indiscretion of his crew had given rise to suspicion : the rumour of the murders was generally spread, and Basset was taken up. Having by con feesinn obtained the clearert evidence of the crimes committed. by Lemoine cod the crew of CLspoir, the Commandant of Seychelles sent them to the superior Court at the Mauritius, where proceedings are now going on against them. But the ends of justice will only be half attain. ed : the most guilty person has escaped, and every ciecunistance coufirme the presumption that he has left the two colonies. The foregoing is, Monsigneur, a faithful narra- tive of the horrors practised by a slnve.trader. To these lengths will an eager avarice urge on those who can traffic in human flesh. I shall not venture to add a single reflection ; the heart and under standing of your Excellency will furnish the best infetence to be deduced from this communication. • ifEW sour,' WALES. , A respectable provincial paper emilaine the following interesting communicatiou from a Mis. sionary resident at Perranutta " The advantages offered to settlers in this rapidly improving colony Cannot be known in Eng. land, or the stream of emigration would set more strongly towards our shores. The climate is mild and salubrious; we have about eight months of summer : in the hottest days the thermometer varies from 90. to 100: ; the nights during this season are delightfully pleasant. In winter the thermometer is about 46. at sunrise, from which it varies to 60. during the day. Occasionally, during the summer, a very hot wind blows ; during its continuance the atmosphere is very oppressive, but it never prevails longer than a kw days at a tune. During the winter nights we have occasionally a frost : but the ice on the ponds is never thicker than a dollar, and seldom continues longer than an hour after sunrise. These observations apply to within 50 miles of Port Jackson : at Bathurst and Van Lhetnen's Land the temperature more nearly approaches that of Corn— wall. Generally speaking, the colony is very healthy;. dysentery is the prevailing disease. The soil here is truiversully free, and consequently cultivation is comparatively easy. Vegetatiou is rapid : %siest is sown from March to August, and is reaped in November and December : in some !daces the harve►t is not completed before January. Early maize is town in August, and is ripe iii February, the late crops of maize are sown in November, in the ground from which early wheat has been reaped, and is gathered in March. Thus a g►eet proportion of our land bears two crops in the year : and hundreds of acres have done so for twenty years successively, without manure. Fruit-trees of all descriptions thrive well, sod there is no part of the year in which fruit of sonic description may not be gathered. Oranges and lemons are to he seen on the trees ■t al+ tunes : of the trees which bear these fruits, ■nd several other kinds, it may lee said— • At once they promise, and at once they ply.' There are frequently seen on the same tree, blos soms, green and ripe fruit. The peach, pear, nec tarine, apricot, mulberry, gauna, laquat, damson, green-gage, plum, fig, and a multiptieity of tro pical sod delicious fruits grow without much care. From the rapid improvement of the colony, we may calculate on the settlement of the more northern parts of this vast island at no distant pe riod ; and as the settlers advance towards the tro pics, we may expect to find tobacco and sugar raised it has been amertained that tobacco wilt thrive in the neighbourhood of Port Jackson, near Botany Bay. " The vast extent of the country, and the compa rative paucity of inhabitonts, have hitherto pre vented any hmits being affixed to the extent of pas turage allowed to settlers; fur though fixed por tions of laud have been grouted to individuals, these persons are not prevented from depasturini s r their flocks on the adjoining unappropriated land. 'Elie great capabilities of this cotnitry for improve ment are but now beginning to be developed. An opening has been effected iota a fine country to the westward, which has been visited by his Excellency Governor Macquarie, who expresses himself highly gratified with it. About three months since I pene trated across the Blue Mountains, about 150 milts into the newly-explored country. These looms tains are very bonen, .but beyoud them the scene is most delightful. The country is diversified by hills of gentle ascent, mid dales plentifully watered ; the fields covered with grass, and having trees thinly scattered over the surface; the scenery re minded me of the beautiful lawns of England. Occasionally I saw large docks of kangaroos, some of them as large as a calf of three months old, sod which bounded forward with astonishing swiftness. Some of these newly-discovered pastures are alskady occupied by heads of cattle belonging to our wealthy graziers; and after a long ride through' an uninhabited country, I felt inexpressible pleasure in beholding flocks and herds wind slowly o'er the lea,' and to hear the ' bleating of sheep and the lowing of uxeu.' "Noce of the excellent land situated beyond the Blue Mountains has yet been granted to private iu dividuals ; it is probably reserved for future emi grants. The breeding of sheep, horned. cattle, and horses, here abundantly repays the attention of the grazier. Oxen about four yew* old weigh from six to seven cwt. Beef is a pound in the market, and sd. at the Govermuent stores ; fat sheep sell at about 30s. each, and saddle horses bring from 30/. to SO/. each, according to their quality ; small cart horses sell for 20/. to 251. each. Sugar is 6d. a pound ; tea 3s. ; English goods 100 per cent. dearer than at home. An experienced farmer, with a capitol of 1,000/., would in five years, with proper attention. secure an income of 1.0001. a-year. The chief source of profit is breeding sheep ; the fleeces of sheep are worth 51. each on an average. There are no direct taxes here. nor tiny drawbacks on the industry of individual-. Land is spouted by Government to individuals according to their means of improving it : a farmer who could rent 200 acres in England would probably obtains grant of t,OOO acres here. Most of the farmers haue commenced without any property, and, what is worse. without any knowledge of agriculture ; the necessity of pro curing a livelihood, and the opportunity of obtiin ing land, have indoced many to settle on farms who had been brought up in trade, &c. hlany of these persons are also, unhappily, of dissolute habits, and therefore but few of them have accumulated much property. Some, however, are of a dif ferent character, and these have risen to wealth and respectability. The manners of the people are entirely British, and the good order that prevails throughout the colony generally, reflects honour on our excellent Governor and the authorities under his direction. Every week I ride during the night several miles along a road on which there ■re mere then one hundred convict* employed, and I have never ex perienced the slightest molestation from them. " The colony derives great advantages from the number of artificers of every description that are sent here; many of them are moat excellent work men. it has been remarked that most of the per. sons who return to England. after a residence of some years here, eagerly embrace the first oppor tunity of returning.
