The OLYMPIA, Lieutenant TAYLOR, which arrived
on Wednesday, with dispatches from the Cape of
Good Hope, left the Cape on the 28th August. The
/sinus frigate, Captain BRAVER, had arrived with dis-
patches from Plymouth ; and Admiral &WIZ had
hoisted his flag on board, with the intention to pro-
ceed off the Isle of France, and to take the command
of the force that was to proceed against that island.
The 72.1 and 87th Regiments were to embark at the
Cape, as soon as transports arrived from Bourbon to
receive them. The Expedition Was to rendezvous at
Bourbon. The whole of the military force intended
to proceed upon this service, including the above re-
inforcements, 6,000 men expected from Bombay, and
what could be spared from Bourbon, was estimated
at nearly 14,000 men. The latest advice: from the
Isle of France are of the 15th of June : at that period,
the vessels of war lying in Port Napoleon were, the
Venus and la Manche, of 4.4. guns each ; the Entre-
prenan:c, of 16 guns ; the Eugene, of 38 guns, and
an armed gun-brig. The Eugene was to sail for
France in August ; the others were to sail upon dif-
ferent cruizes ; as was also the Aspie, of 44 guns,
from the Black River. There were 22 sail of prizes
at Port Napoleon, and there were three vessels pre-
paring for a voyage to France with valuable cargoes.
The Charlton, a captured East Indiaman, was fitting
for a guard-ship. The Bellona and Minerve frigates,
and Victor corvette, sailed from the Isle of France on
the 14th of March ; and on the 14th of April, cap-
tured the Ocean, of Philadelphia, from China, which
left them cruizing in E. long. 40.5 lat. 27. for the
outward-bound China fleet. Two sail of the line, and
several frigates, were daily expected to arrive from
France. It is generally considered, both in India
land at the Cape, that the conquest of the Isle of
' France will not prove very difficult. The OLYMPIA
left at St. Helena, the Sir James Sibbald, and Re-
becca, from Bombay ; the Charlotte, Mornington,
and two bther country ships, bound to England.
We have received by the Hindodarn, the Sydney
Gazettes to the sth of May. Lieutenant-Governor
COLLINS died at the settlement of Hobart on the 24th
of March, whilst sitting in his chair conversing with
his surgeon, who had attended him during a short
illness of six days. His 'funeral was attended by all
the officers of the settlement, Lieutenant LORD, of the
Marines, following the bier as Chief Mourner ; up-
wards of six hundred persons attended to ty the last
duties of respect to their revered Commander. The
IMercury schooner arrived at Sydney on the 4th of
i May, with a cargo of pork from Otaheite : she
brought accounts of the continuance of the civil wars
!between Pomarree and his subjects. Whilst the Dm-
; met:ary lay at Sydney, a fire broke out on board her
lin the lower tier, which continued from five to twelve
o'clock at noon. Eight feet and a half depth of water
was introduced into her hold by scuttles cut in her
sides, pumps, buckets, &c. It was only by the most
intrepid exertions she was rescued from destruction.
Fortunately, her powder had been deposited in the
Government magazines, or she must have blown
up. Accounts had been received at Sydney of the
loss of the Mary whaler, Captain SISIMONDS, off the
east end of New Zealand, with 110 tons of sperm oil.
The crew were saved by a vessel in company, sap.
posed to be the Inspector, Captain WALIMR.—Ave.

The newspapers are misinformed which stated
that the LAVINIA had brought some of the conspi.
rators to Portsmouth. She sailed (mm Lisbon with
the Amazonian Portuguese frigate under convoy foe
the Western Isles, having 75 persons of different na-
tions and descriptions on board, 25 of whom were
Frenchmen, old residents in Lisbon, oho, on account
of the war, were confined in the Tower of Cascae, ;
40 of these persons were left in the Island of Terceira;
but the Frenchmen, and several other foreigner., ri.
turned to Lisbon in the same frigate. The gentle-
men who have arrived in the LAVINIA, are come to
this country with passports from the British Minister;
some of them are of the first families in Portugal.
The charge of being conspirator' bas never beets at.
tempted to be preferred against them. It was known,
that when the French were at Lisbon, they were on
terms of friendly intimacy with them, and this seems
to have been the extent of their chaste.
