From an English paper.
BOTANY BAY.

About five Or'six years ago, a per.
son of considerable literary attain
ments, was tried at the Old Bailey
for forgery, convicted and sentenced
to be hanged. His Majesty was
pleased to commute the sentence to
transportation for life. A letter of
thanks for the efforts made for the
preservation of his life, has reached
us: and as it contains intelligence of
country, the daily occurrences in
which are but little known to the POI
nulation of this country. notwith-
standing the frequent voluntary as
well as compulsory visits paid Thu
Their, we shall state the distance.
Since his arrival in the country,
every order relative to the treatment
of prisoners has been Of an apparent.
~ harsh nature; but the change has
been attributed to the great increase
of crime at home, and the consequent
increase of prisoners in New South
Wales, where, to say the truth. the
evidence of long course of Metro.
poiitan crime is but too palpsble.
He received what is called s'Ticket
of Leave" upon reaching his desti-
nation, document which authorizes
any person TO select any part Of the
colony for his residence, and to en-
ploy himself as he might think pro-
per; but which the least misconduct
subjects TO permanent removal. The
conyict's residence in Sydney, in the
occasional service of mercantile men,
gave him an opportunity of asCer-
tanning the state OF the colony as to
commerce; no branch of which, he
says, is regular. 1t is either all bus
tie or all silence.
Upon first making the shores of
Australasia, he was particularly
struck with the uncommon appear
ance OF every thing he beheld. The
singular shape and color Of the rocks
and trees, the wild and savage looks
of the natives, would, even if the i'm
mense distance could be overleaped
at one bound, convey the most une-
qHigocal assurance of a remote world.
Sydney, however, reviyes the memo
ry of past scenes. 1t has about A.
900 inhabitants, who are increasing
daily: 1900 soldiers are upon the
station. There are public billiard
rooms, and fine race course. Sc
yeral of the opalent inhabitants keep
s handsome equipages, and degree of
splendor attends their eDtertain-
ments, far beyond what might be ex-
pec;ed in an infant colony. About
twenty or thirty miles in the interi-
or, is what is called the Open Forest,
which resembles in appearance a
gentleman's park in England. Here
/. fhe principal settlers have their grants
of land. several having from 500 to
5000 acres. and some great deal
more. Herds of cattle containing
1000 head, and fiocks of sheep con-
tanning several thousands, are not
uncommon. The part of the country
where the settlers are most hume
rous, is the banks of Hawkesbury.
Hero settlers are for the most part
prisoners. Tho soil is particularly
luxuriant; but it is subject to floods.

quency of such disasters, the extreme
richness ofthe ground. the ease with
which il is managed, and the great
profit arising from a good crop, hold
out an Irresistible temptation to the
settlers.
At the distance of 70 miles from
Sydney, commences that chain of
mountains so long considered impas-
sable. called the .sBfue Mountains;"
aud across those mountains, at the
distance of so miles, is the New
Country. Those SO miles present
food for neither man nor beast. They
are nothing bat barren succession
of rocks upon rocks, without a blade
of grass or track IF bird; but when
the traveller bursts upon the country
or the plains OF Bathurst, his eye is
delighted with the most beautiful
prospect perhaps on the face of the
earth. Thither some of,he most opu-
lent settlers have sent their oxen and
sheep to feed, and the returns have
always exceeded their expectations.
To a convict, the summer appears
too warm upon bis arrival; but after
a residence Of two or three years, no
inconvenience is felt from the heat.
