The following- information was yesterday posted at
Lloyd's:— •
t• Extract from on board the brig Aurora, Callao Bay,
dated Ist March I wrote you fully per brig Calder on '
the g6th ult., and the present is merely to advise, that the
Spanish roma nailer Gen. ral Rodil took possession of the
miles yesterday, and of Lima the day before. The occu-
pa II of the castl, s as slave appears generally to give sa-
afaction to those having property at stake, as their anxiety
iscansidaably abated with respect to farther tiation*
property. which it is thought will be respected, and the
insubordiweien of the revolted negrots will now be very
soon put an tohy the Spanish forces. By all accounts,
the evecuat!er. of I,ima and occupation by the Spanish
rainy took • without any disorder or loss of lives, ex-
cept a few l %comes by robbers, which were trivial. Capt.
Matin, of the Fly, went up to Lima on the 2sth to meet
the Spanish entliorities, and to make amngetnenta for the
secenty, of British property :he is expected down to-
or'to-inori-ow,- when we sisal! hear the result of the
Liktry'n.w. I shall sail to.momw for Mexico.' "

FAN DIEMA.N"S LAND.

Ettrmet front a letter received by a Gentleman in Glas-
gow, on the iliii tilt., from his brother-in-law, dated Ho-
bat Town, 21st llve. 11123.
We arrived here on the ril of lest month, after a tedious pas-,
sage of six months and eighteen days from Leith.
Soching can ex-red the beauty of the scenery. From the en-
trance of the river l)erwent till you arrive at Ilohart town, the river '1
is upwards of two miles broad, and is one of the finest harbours I
perhaps is the known world. The town is small but neat, and
when we consider that Ihrte more than eighteen years ago the spot
where the towu now steads watt covered with trees and brush-wood,
we ate more inclined to think it the work of magic than of human
beings. The town contains upwards of 4,000 inhahitants. The
principal buildings are the Gurarnment house, church, hospital,
gaol, and extensive Commissariat stores; there is also the found-
ation laid of a liri:e Presbyterian church, and when dnished will
eintain about I,Goo sitters; the Wesleyan Methodists are also
building a large 3leeting-lannie—but both it and the Scotch
church are now at a stand fur want of funds to finish them--
The new town is on a bouitiful spot, about two miles front town,l
and is surrounded with a numbet of tine farms, in a high state of
cdtivado.,. Me. Evans, the Surveyor Czneral, who resides here,
Are one of the tiaest Flame I have seen since I came to the Colony.
I was much scsscd with his }tsraare grounds and garden ; he has
terry kind of vegetable and fruit that we hare at house growing in
the garden with the greatest luxuriance.
The week Ayr our arrival here I melt up the country about 80
miles, to see a E.rm 3l r. Evans recommended me to take; the road
to Lawrisstown forms the boundary on the one side, and a large hi. I
goon or lake on the other. There is upwards of lOU acres in one 1
place of the Ism where I have nothing to do but put in the plough
Is enhir:.ies. The land is of excellent quality, being mostly rich
wed day and black vegetable mould. There is another farm ad.
joining. &j.th I have also in my choice; the land is similar to the
one mentioned ; I do not intend to make my choice till I go upon
use land. I have got an order tram the (inventor fix 1,200 acres to
be given me in any place I think proper to make choice of. It is
eleleet impossible tnr me, in the small limits of a letter, to give
you a distinct description of this beautif it country, and I shall con.
tine myself to a few remarks on what part of It I have seen.
In ping from Ilobart Town to Lawriestown,lthe land for the
first lii mites appears to Inc to be but very indifferent, and with a
few exceptions mach wooded $ at 28 mil:a from the torn er place,
the country begins to open up, and the eye it relieved by beautiful
tracts of nrh level land, thinly wooded : ta miles from Hobart
Town is a beautiful tract, called York Plains, but as far as I could
learn, it was but indifferently watered ; from this to Elizabeth Di-
em Is 23 miles, the country you pass through open, many parts of
•it excellent' hind, beteg thinly wooded and well wattled. it would
be impessibie fur mc, from my short residence in the colony, to ha-
lard an *Men frith regard to emigration to this part of the world;
there is one thing m•nMin, however, that many have conic out es
agriculturist. who are very unfit for the task, and unless a man can
snake up his mind to hard labour for the first five years after his
arrival. he hail much better minutia at home: for my own part, I
wit much pleased with the country. and do not in the knit regret
my eLange. We have token a store in town for the sale of our
loads, but there is nothing of any consequence doing; we are, how-
ever, in hopea there will be something doing next month, as there
It a Link established here, which is to open on the tat January
182. L It iseallesi the Bank of Van Diemen's Land, and is to di,.
(sum bilis and take in tleposits of money. The capital ir.ves:ed in I
this batik is 10,00 W.
