The death of DR.. Randall, the Governor OF The
Colony. is to be deeply deplored. DR.. Ran.
dali had been attacked BY the fever before the
arrival of the Harriet. and was on the recove-
ry but, his zeal for the welfare Of the Colony
induced him too soon to expose himself IN the
discharge of his duties, which produced re-
lapse that terminated his valuable life on the
10Th April.
We hope the report of the death of Joseph
Turner, who went from this place. may not he
true. He promised great usefulness 10 the
Colony.
The Vice Agent, DR.. Mechlin, had assumed
the government of the Colony. He had been
IN, but was convaescent. He is said to be
much esteemed and very popular among the
Colonis,s. The general concerns ofthe Colony
are represented to be in very aatteriug condi
ton. Tho town contained from 80 to 100
houses, and others were daily erecting-seven
frames of houses were carried on in the Har
rie,. Il is we'll defended by fort, mount.
ing pieces of canron, of large calibre, and
garrisoned by two companies Of elegantly uni
formed volunteers, Of about 80 men each. We
subjoin from the Norfolk Herald come further
particulars.
