Captain Tatissus Tuoursox, of his Majesty's 46th Regimen.,
late Military Commandant, and Civil Magistrate, of the Settlv•
meat of Newcastle, having arrived yesterday from that 6tauw,,
at Sydney, his Excellency the Governor and Commander of the
Forces, takes this occasion of publicly expressing his entire ap.
probation of the conduce of Captain Tnoss elan, during the time
be has acted as Commandant and Civil Magistrate of Newcaatlr
and requests be will accept Ids best thanks for the activity, vim
lance, and zealous attention he has always manifested in the di,.
charge of the important duties of his Office, both in his Civil and
Military capacity, in a manner so advantageous to the Public
Service; more particularly in the various useful Public Buildiuts
be bis seemed, and the several minor improvements hr has made
at that 2k4tlement daring his command of it, which re fic ct great
credit on Maisel, and entitle him to the Governor's best com-
mendations. H. C. AN TILL, Major of Brigade.
By Command of his Excellency the Governor.
SOU ru AMERICAN ADVENTURERS.

On this subject an Evening Paper has given the
following statement The opinion of his Royal
Highness the Commander-in Chief, on certain receat
applications for leave of absence by several British
Officers, hasgiven rise to a very great misconception
lon the part of a number of Officers on half-pay. In
the instances to which we allude, leave of absence !or
a considerable time from the country, was requested
by a number of Officers on halipay ; the answer to
which, as we understand, was, that a leave of absence
for three year: would be given to any Officer on half-
pay, but only to the Contsnent of Europe, the West
Indies, or North America. The silence which was
&served in this answer with regard to South America
(none having directly solicited for leuve to go thither).
was the cause of the general mistake—th it his Royal
Highness had not dirtaly prohibited any Officers from
going thither and joining the Independent Standard.
This mistake is now rectified. An Officer, a Captain
of Engineers, made application. a short time back,
at the Office of the Commander in Chief, for leave
to join the South American Army for a limited time.
The answer contained—what we hope oil; set this
question with respec' to our Officers at rest —nrt only
a direct refusal, bnz also an expression cf his Royil
Highness the Cuairnander in Chief's extreme sur-
prize and slispleascie that any British Officer should
have made such a proposal; and an intimation, that
should much a request be repeated, the individual
would do it at his own peril."
We adJ, that his Koval. Hionnwts.could not with
propriety give any other kind of answer to such an
application. What I ask the Comnlantles.k.Chief to
give direct permission to British alicets to join in
arms the subjects of an ally fighting against the pa-
rent Government ! How. is the name of common
sense, could his ROYAL HIGHNESS grant such a per-
mission ? His answer was most correct—" Those
who embark in such an enterprise must do it at their
own peril. They must not ask the Government or
its public officers to become parties in the transaction."
This appears to us to be plainly all that was meant
by the answer of the Commander in Chief. la one
Word, those who choose to go to South America must
Dot declare their intention ; !or by doing sn they ten.
der it almost imper /titre on his Royal Highness to
issue his prohibition quo ad the individual who makes
the application.

Yesterday about a quarter pan four o'clock the
Panics litrormv and General BoULTON left Carlton
House for Windsor, and dined with her MAJESTY.
Yesterday the Loup CHANCELLOR and Count Mulll•
TER had audiencts of the PRINCE REGENT, at Calton
House.
. Lord AMHERST has duly delivered to the PRINCE
Ritcr.wr the letter from BONAPARTE to his Royal
Highness, of which his Lordship was the bearer (rout
St. Helena.

The Palace REGENT has wholly abandoned the in-
tention of going on a cruize in his splendid yacht ; it
will return to Woolwich, and be laid up in ordinary.
The equinoctial gales having so early set in with greet
violence on the coast, is one reason why hit Royal
Highness declines encountering sea tisk. It was the
Marquis of Araotzszy who strongly recommended
the building of the Vessels his Lordship is passion.
ately fond of the water. Had it not been fur the
promise from the PRINCE, and the extreme f;rattfica-
tion it would have afforded the gsttAnt General, his
Lordship would now have been on tz voize arducd

At the late Quarterly General 0);Itt of
