NSW SOUTH friaSS.

A discovery has been made in New South Wales,
which must materially affect the future advancement
of that colony. A river 1 the first magnitude has
been found in the interior, running through a most
beautiful country, rich in soil, limestone, slate, and
§timber. A means of communication like dais,
as been anxiously searched for without success,
and many began to entertain an apprehension that
the progress of colonization in New Holland would
be confined to its coasts.

Mr. Oxley, the Surveyor-General, was sent out
with a party in an expedition to the westward of the
Blue Mountains, to trace the course of the lately dis.
covered river Lachlan, and to ascertain the soil, ca-
pabilities and productions of the country through
which it was expected to pass in its course to the sea.
Mr. Oxley left Bathurst on the 30th of April, 1817.
Ile proceeded down the Lachlan until the 12th of
May, the country rapidly descending until the waters
of the river rose to a level with it, and dividing into
numerous branches lost itself among. marshes. Mr.
Oxley quitted the river on the 17th of May, taking
a S.W. course towards Cape Northumberland. He
continued this course until the 9th of June, when he
was induced to change his course to North. On this
course he continued till the 23d of June, when he
again fell in with a stream, which he could with dif-
ficulty recognize as the Lachlan, it being little larger
than one of the branches of it where it was quitted
on the 17th of May. He kept along the banks of
this sttearn till the Bth of July, when the whole coun-
try became a marsh altogether uninhabitable. This
unyoked for and truly singular termination of a
river, filled the party with the most painful sensa-
tions. 'They were full 500 miles west of Sydney, and
nearly in its latitude ; and it had taken them tel
weeks of unremitted exertion to proceed so far. Re-
turning down the Lachlan, he recommenced the sur-
vey of it from the point on which it was made the
23d of June. The connection with all the eoints of
the survey previously ascertained, was completed be-
tween the 19th of July and the 3d of August. It
was estimated that the river, from the place where
first made by Mr. Evans, had run a course, taking
all its windings, of upwards of 1200 miles, a length
of course altogether unprecedented, considering that
the origind is its only supply of water during that
distance.

" Crossing at this point," says Mr. Oxley, in his
Report, *4 it was my intention to take a N.E. course
.to intersect the country, and if possible ascertain
what had become of the Macquarrie River, which
it was clear had never joined the Lachlan. This course
led us through a country to the full as bad as any
we had yet seen, and equally devoid of water, the
want of which again much distressed us. On the
7th of August the scene began .to change. and the
country to assume a very different aspect ; we were
now quitting the neighbourhood of the Lachlan, and
had passed to the N.E. of the high range of hills
which on this parallel bounds the low country to the
north of that river. To the N.W. and N. the country
was high and open, with good forest land ; and on
the 10th we h;1 the satisfaction to fal iu wadi the
first stream runulus northerly. This renewed out

The public are aware that some time ago a Mis-
sion was sent by General Dom, the new President
of Hayti, to fly.: Governor of Jamaica, to announce
his accession to the Presidency, and that the polite
reception which The Mission received from Sir Home
POPIIAM, our Admiral on the Windward Island sta-
tion, had made an impression on the new President
highly favourable to the interests of the British mer-
chines residing within his territory.. The Jamaica.
Journalists, as will be seen from the extract which
we give in a preceding part of our Paper, view the
transaction in a very cfifferent light ; and Sir Hosea
PornAm, fur having permitted the sable Ambassa-1
dors to partake of the hospitality of his table in the
midst of his own family, is inveighed against with
as much asperity as if he had been guilty of a high,
political misdemeanour. The gallant .Idenral may
console himself for these invective:, 1% 411 the reflec-
tion that in respecting the dignity of human nature,
he at the same time best consulted the interests of his
country. Had he acted otherwise. it is pretty gene-
rally understood that our Merchants would have
been insanely ordered to quit the tot ritoties of the
.Haytian. Re?ubic, and their property, amounting to
a million and a half, would most probably have been
confiscated.
