We lament TO hear, that further disas-
trous intelligence has been received from
lord SeikirKS American Colony. After the
dispersion OF the settlers last Autumn, US
has been before stated in this paper, it
would seem that his new Gov. Mr.. Semplc.
whose name is familiar TO our readers from
his travels in Spain, r his discussions with
lord Cathcdyt, relative To his imprisonment
IN Prussia, proceeded to re-establish the
Colony on the Red River with num-
Der OF emigrants who went into the
country from lludsons Bay, III the last Az
tumn, &remained there during the winter.
NJ. Senplc had distractions to establish
the introduction of L9rd SeMbk, and the

One ofthe first subjects 10 be decided
