Bart Town, and, it appears, had on board a con-
siderable number of passengers, who, after suffer-

ing great alarm from their perilaus situation,

were saved.

The streets of Sydney are under-

going Macadamization. Some wordy warfare
has been carrying on relative to the stamp duties
on newspapers. Colonel ARTHUR has issued

a Proclamation, ha6ng receivcd a new
warrant from ' his MAJESTY, by .which it

appears the 'Legislative Council of Vali

Dieman's Land, consists of, JOHN L. PEDDF.R,
Chief Justice, JOHN BURNETT, Esq., Colonial

Secretary, W. D. HAMILTON, Esq., A. W. H.
HUMPHREY, Esq., EDWARD CURB, Esq.

THOS. ANSTEY, Esq., Tiros. ARCHER, Esq.
Two travellers, despatched by the Van Die-
man's Land Company, had arrived at Hobart
Town from Circular Head, passing through, the
fine tract of land beyond the lakes, so often men-
tioned. The Company, we learn, have received
permission to graze 10,000 sheep beyond the
Lakes, as an entrepot between Cape Grim and
Hobart Town. Mrs. DARLING, the Go-
vernor's- lady, gave a splendid ball and
supper to a large and fashionable party,
in honour of Captain STERLING and the officers
of his Majesty's ship Success, who were on the
eve of leaving the Colony to join the Admiral on

the Indian station. At his instance, we learn
the Governor has suggested the propriety and
expediency of colonizing the Swan River. The
assigned servants have considered it, and it has
been a common custom, that after having ob-

tained the sanction of the Governor to enter into
marriage, to consider themselves as their own
masters and mistresses, and have universally en-
tertained a. belief it was legal. A stop, it ap-
pears, hai been put to this new mode of obtain-
ing their freedom, and they have been insurej
they remain in such case not the less liable to
serve the time for which they have been assigned.
The agent of Dr. REDERN effected sales last
week, of that gentleman's sheep and cattle to the
amount of 25,000/. Governor DARLING had
published an Act for preventing the printing and
publishing of Books and Papers in the Colony,

without inserting the residence and name of the
printer, in a conspicuous part, and that the party
so printing shall give notice to the Colonial Se-
cretary, keeping printing presses and types for
such printing; receiving a certificate from that
officer, granting him the permission required.
We are happy to state, that bush-ranging seems
on the decline, both in New South Wales
and Van Dieman's Land. An Act has also been
passed relative to the Bank of Australia, to sue
and be sued in the name of the Managing Di-
rector ; for the want of this, it appears that some
persons who committed forgery on that esta-
blishment, had escaped. Another Act had
caused some sensation for imposing a duty on
all newspapers, and papers of a like nature
printed, to be disposed of and made public in the
Colony ; to take place from the Ist of June,
1827, and that stamp shall he 4d. sterling.—
This measure appears to meet much opposition,
and is considered an attempt to muzzle the
press by an unnecessary change. Both Cold-
flies appear to be in a state of great tranquil-
lity. The settlers complain, however, of the diffi-
culty they have in procuring assigned servants;
and an opinion seems prevalent that the Mother
Country does not intend to send out so many
convicts to the land of Tarmania, as they have
hitherto done. The treatment of the Deputa-
tion at Hobart Town has produced at Sydney a
strong sensation. It was shortly expected that
Governor ARTHUR would make some important
changes in the department for the collection
of the colonial revenue, the office of Naval Offi-
cer was to be done away with, and the more
English term of Collector of the Customs is to
be substituted.

The Austrian Observer, a very questionable
authority in all matters relating to Greece, gives
the following account of some attempts at recon-
ciliation between General CHURCH and FA B-
VIER, which do not seem satisfactory. FAB-
VIER'S conduct has not been so generous in the
cause of Greece as we were at first led to expect
from his professions of enthusiasm and .heroic
disinterestedness. We regret to perceive the
American, Philhellene, WASHINGTON, has
fallen a sacrifice to his devotion in the cause of
Greece :

The Austria-s Observer gives a letter from Poros, of
the 2d August, the writer of which says—" I have had a
great deal of convetsation at Napoli with Fabvier,Heidegger,
and others, who have lately acted a considerable part in the
transaction at that place. Some persons fancy, but this
appears to inc too refined a speculation, that the whole dis-
pute is only a contrivance of the Chiefs of the two parties,
to have an opportunity to plunder; it is, however, eer-
tain, that the amount of their pillage since the beginning
of June, is 10 millions of piastres. All then goods in
the town were taken away. Lists of proscription were
made out, and those who could be taken were ',not
released without the payment of a good ransom. Not the
poorest beggar was allowed to leave the town without pay-
ing. The fire from the forts contiqued from the 10th to
the 19th July, and 120 persons,chiefly women and children,
were killed. The American Philhellene, Washington,
who had but lately returned to Greece, lost his life."—
After some account of the misery prevailing about Napoli
di Romania, he adds :—" I have seen the regular corps—
it is without elotliing--has been ill fed fur 14 months, and
not at all paid ; it is kept together by the influence of the
chiefs : there are 550 men at Napoli, and 400 at Me-
thane.

" The command of the town was offered to Colonel
Heidegger, who would not accept it, unless it were given
up to the regular troops ;this the Palicar's refused. _

" Cochrane left Napoli an hour after my arrival. lie
is said not to be on good terms with the English Rear
Admiral. The sending for Fabvier and Church has not
answered the end proposed. Fabvier said be came to
show his obedience, not because he thought he could
do any good. Church, who had been obliged by want
of provisions to renounce his intended expedition to Eleusis,
brought, for the same reason, but few troops to Napoli.—
the AS POO of the Chiefs of the ralimiswould give till
