The letters received by the John transport speak
highly of the climate and prospects of the settlers.
Tne allotments of land are well wooded and water-
edowid bring principally ou the banks of the Great
Fish River, plenty of fish is easily obtained ; game
in abundance, particularly a species of grouse. The
Dutch farmers are particularly civil and accommo-
dating to the new-cumusers so their jou►aey. The
distance of the settlement from the coast is about
100 miles; this journey is performed in weggeos.

doctors are procured of the Dutch boors et en easy
rate. The Dutch farmers observe, what they can raise
by industry so can the new,comers. They raise
corn of every description; potatoes bountifully; to-
bacco thrives well; the wine they make on their
estates is meat excellent, and sold ■t the rate of
did. per bottle. They laughingly observe, that
more Cape wine is sold in the year by many hogs-
heads than is made in the whole colony. May
of the estates produce four crops in the year, par.
ticularly in those parts which can at pleasure be in-
undated; these inundations answer all the purposes
of the best manure, and the crops are prodigious.
Major Pigott, brother of Captain Pigott, R.N.
with his family, occupies th►e largest tract of land as
a free settler. Captain Duncat► Campbell, R.M.
and his party, who embarked from Portsmouth,
are localized at the Zoonder cud of the river, about
87 miles from the Caps. In April Wit the Captain •
was married to the niece of Mr. Turner, the maitre
of the Weymouth storeship, in which► ship he em-
barked. The following parties are localized :--

The arrangements of Government were most
liberal, and every attention was paid to the comforts
of the females while on board. They were pleuti-

Provisions of every kind ere amazingly cheap;
there is a great want of waggetts. and it is strongly
