Died, on Tuesday last, Captaii.MATTEIEW FLIN-
DER, of the Royal Navy, greatly lamented by his
family and friends. This Gentleman's fate has
been as hard as it has been eventful. -Under the
direction of the Admiralty, he sailed, in 1801,
upOn a voyage of discovery to Terra Australis ;
where, after prosecuting successfully the ptirposes
of his voyage, he had the misfortune to run upon
a coral rock, and lose his ship. Out of the wreck
he constructed a small vessel that carried him to
the Matiritius, where, shocking to relate, instead
of being received with kindness, as is the practice
of all civilized nations to nautical discoverers, he
was put in prison by the Governor, Dc CAEN, and
confined for six years and a 11W, which brought
upon him maladies that lirve hastened his death.
Fortunately for mankind and his
.own fame, he
survived a few dav3 the finishin,, of the printing
the account of his voyage.
