fage of twenty one days from Portfmouth. The Ad-
miral expelled to find at Porto Praya the expedition
under General CRAWFORD and Captain STOPFORN
and was to have affirmed the command of the •effels
employed in that fervice ; but unfortunately Captain
STOPPORD, after waiting for force time at the place of
rendezvous, failed for his defiinatinn on tl:e 12th of

By fame fatality, however, the Ichooner had been
prevented maintaining her Ration ;—and Admiral
NIURRAY, it is Paid, has been obliged to fend home
for frefli inllruOions.

Accounts were received in town nn Saturday from
the River Plate as late as the 6th December. Several
Spani(h officers had arrived iron) the interior at
Monte Video, for the purpofe of organizing the inha-
bitants and others difpored to arms. All the mercantile
people have left off barriers, and turned their atten-
tion to arms. A thong force was preparing to go
againa Maldonado. Their fume(' at Buenos Ayres
has had an aftonifhing effeEt upon the minds of the
Spaniards; they confider themfelves the fink warriors
;n the world.

Saturday letters reached town from New South
Wales, by fume whalers arrived in the River. The
accounts from Port Jack* are dated the middle of
Augull, and announce the following arrivals from
England, viz.—Lady Magdelina Sinclair, JACKSON,
with the new Governor, Bracru Albion, RiCHARU-
ION ; Elizabeth, BANKS% ; Alexander, BRooms ; and
Fortune, Mooas. The Settlement WAS healthy.
Yefterday morning Captain Seesaw, of the Ma-
rines, arrived at the Secretary of State's Office, with
difpatches from Lieutenant Colonel Cot.t.a Ns, Cover.
nor of the new fettlement which has been formed on
Van Diemen's Land. Captain SLADfrN left the let-
dement early in September lafl, in the Carleton wha-
ler, of Liverpool, and arrived at St. Helena about
the 15th December. On the 4th of January, the
fhip Memphis arrived at St. Helena, with difpatches
from Sir HOME POPHAM, Rating the lois of Buenos
Ayres, which were forwarded to the Cape of Good
Hope in the Sceptre tranfport. The Memphis being
bound to England, Captain SLADEN left St. Helena
on the • 7th January, in the Memphis—a few days
previous to which, the Santa Chrilliana, extra India
man, arrived with difpatches from Bengal, direct to
England : Ilse had touched at the Cape, where the
Georgiana,Company's packet, had RHO arrived from
Bengal, with paffengers, about the sth of December.
The accounts which have been is circulation of a
fcarcity exifling in the new fettlement, prove to be
corral. Some time previous to Captain SLADEN'S
embarking for England, the rations of. the convißs,
and others, were three pounds of Indian corn, one
pound of beef, and a pound of rice per man every
week. Such perfons as had mutton to fell, demanded
half a crown per pound ; a (mall roafling pig was
four dollars, and rum 51. per bottle, or 201. per gal-
lon. Supplies had been received from Port Jackfon,
which, in Tome meafure, relieved their necellities ;
but, notwithfianding the difcouraging appearances,
there is no doubt that, in a few years, the Colony will
be as flout-Ming as that of New South Wales, The
air is particularly healthy, the climate is mild, and
the foil very good. The Buffalo flare (hip, which
accompanied Captain BLIOH from England, was ex-
petted at New South Wales in September, when Go-
vernor Klan would be relieved.

On the arrival of the Memphis in the Channel, the
was chaced three times, by two French loggers and
a brig, one of which came fo near to the Memphis,
that the prepared to engage, being armed with 18
twelve-pounders, when the Frenchman theered 'off.
The Britannia, Hussey, arrivedon Saturday from
Botany Bay, which fettlement the left on the nth of
Auguft. We are concerned to Rate that the accounts
received by her, confirm the previous reports relative
to the deplorable Date of the colony. From the tear-
city, almoft verging upon famine, which prevailed
according to the latl advice., the inhabitants bad
placed their hopes of deliverance in the near approach
of harvelt. But of this confolation they had been
fuddenly bereft,by (need; ve heavy falls of rain which
inundated all the plantations, and fw•ept away the
corps. When the Britannia failed, the wholefale price
of flour was upwards of 41. per cwt. Some difpo-
fition to riot and plunder was manifetted, but nothing
ferrous had taken place, and, confider ing the fuffet-
ings of the people, they had condoled themfelves
beyond expeaation. The Britannia has alto brought
an account of the arrival at Port Jackfon of zhe
RICHARDSONI and the Elizabeth, BURKE,
from London.
