A General titmouse, at the date of the latest advice, from Cape Henry, haul already been placed at the head of a provisional administration, and the scheme of a regular consti tution was da.ly expected to appear.

Beneath this device was a colonist about four inches long, and perhaps one inch wide, which to the asked rye sector d truly a dark .ground ue sky; but he was informed that with a strung glass he could trace the words " one pound note" (and so on ac cording to the armada' of such note), ot;are than acres bum. dyed times, within this small space!
