FROM TUE UAMPIDURE TRLSOIRAPH, seinen 1..
Thursday the Orestes transport, Lieutenant Garrett, arrived
from Rio de Janeirn, which she left on the 22d of December. The
Admiral, Sir Robert Waller Otway, had gaited in the Ganges to
the River Plate, to consult with Lord Ponsonby on an arrange-
ment with the uenos Ayrean and Monte ilidein Governments to
prevent the frequent piracies that occur on the cant, to the great
annoyance and loss o our trade. Tay HOP,' onip was at Rio del
Janeiro. An English merchant brig, caUed tbe. Daphne, laden wilts
arms for the Brazils, tad been taken by a Buenos Ayrean priva-
teer ; but she had been given up by the prize-master, in hope of a
better salvage than his prize-money would have amounted to. The
Orestes brought condemned stores : she is new lading with coopers'
stores for Deptford..
His Majesty's ship Tweed, Captain Lard John Churchill, called
at St. Jag°, one of the Cape de Verd Islands, on he passage out to
the Cape of Good Hope, and during hir short stay fifteen of her
Officers and men slept on shore,. and immediately on their return
on board they were all seized with a violent fever, of which the
' fallowing, we regret to say, died in forty-eight hours, viz. Mr.
Napper, Surgeon ; M . Crawford, West, Oldham, Simpson,
and Thornton, Midshipmen ; the Schoolmaster, and the Midship-
man's servant. The remainder who were attacked recovered. .

Extract of a letter from an Officer on board his Majesty's ship
Eden, dated Clarence Cove, Maidstone Bay (Isle of Fernande-ro),
November 17, 1627 "We have now been here three weeks,
clearing away the woods on a spot of land extending into the sea,
dividing the two bays. On the sth we got huts erected for the
reception of 300 native troops, mechanics, and labourer% who re•
side on shore. The prepared houses which we brought from Eng•
land will be ready for the mixed Con • iron Court front Sierra
Leone about May neat. The island is one of the most delightful
that I know .f, producing spices, plantains, yams, 'and fowls, in
abundance. For a piece of old iron hoop, about three inches long,
we get three fowls, or newly fifty pounds of the finest yams; and
for a piece eight inches long we get a sheep. The natives, as far
as we can yet judge, ,bough ia the most degraded state of harba•
risen; are to be confided in ; they are a robust, htrdy, and muscular
race. Their huts are composed of six or eight poles, drives into the-
ground, over which is a roof formed of palm leaves; the sides are
all open. Our Officers go wherever they please without molest...
lion, sometimes shooting 'Rookies, which are very numerous. We
have not a auto sick, though scarcely a day has passed without rain."
