NEW SOUTH WALES

In a lett,^r, dated June the 20th, we have the following ac-
count of the newly-discovered 'country in New South Wales,
behind the Blue Mountains, which before the year 1814, was a
complete Terra hteognita:—
"The new country is but thinly peopled, and its natives re-
semble much those about Sydney, though their language is
very different: they differed also in.. being well covered with
kangaroo skins, sewed together very neatly with sinews of the
emus; they wore the fur ►ide next their skins, and on .the
upper or flash side they had picked, very ingeniously at.d re-
gularly, orruimental devices, among which were crosses. They
seemed to be a laughing, good-natured people, without the
savage warlike spirit or fairy of Cm Sydney natives. They had
with them tamed native dogs, with which I fancy they caught
kangaroos. Their spews ate heavy anti clumsy, and they
threw them only :sshort distance out of their haieds, like the
New Zealanders..

"The day we loft Bathurst riailtS, the Governor dispatched
Mr. Evans, Deputy Land Surveyor, with two men and horses,
to proceed as far as he could to the westward. He returned a
few days ago, after having penetrated in a doe west direction
lb miles from Bathurst. He reporls all the trae:a of country
he passed over to be even superior to that we explored, and
much more thickly peopled; which he attributes to the asto-
nishing herds lie constantly saw of kangaroos and emus, on
which the natives sehaisted, togetNer with abundance of fish,
which a considetabiy,siaed river, running to the westward,
abounded with.

"The river is nearly the size of the Hawkcsbory ; and, as
far as he can judge, may be easily explored with a boat, or i ra-
veiling alongjts banks, through a beautiful plain fertile coun-
try. He has brought with him hither a large mnunity of the
finest manna 1 Incve ever secas which he collected among the
grass and in the burnt fields, .which lee described to be cluster-
ed with it, in small pieees. I conclude it to the product. of •
our locust insect cl'et4;ania); either what those insects have
deposited hi the grass, or what they contained when bey were
destroyed by the grass Liking till. The natives %%erg very shy,
and alarmed at his appearance. He foimd whole mountains of
fine blue lime-stone, and a profusion et' the emanion nova mina
pebbles, topazes, and crystal", uswilly found on the coast of
llass's Straits. The entmery lawiil wooded; and among the
trees are numerous pines, dtl fiat high, without u brauch. The
se:Hand pasturage is rich in dm saxtreme."
