FROM UIRERJk


The Ship james Perkins, Capt. Crowcll, which
SAILED from this port Sth Dec. last, with emigrants
Tor the American Colony at Monrovia, returned
here yesterday, via Isle of May.
For a few days after they cleared Cape Henry
the weather was pretty rough, which caused much
sca-sickness among the emigramts, and three of
Them died-viz. the wife Of James Cotton, an ell
derry and weakly woman, and two infant children
the only diminution from the whole number that
sailed from here. As soon they recovered from
Inc sca-sickncss ulc Co!onists continued in fine
health, cheerful, and so far from Il mutinous dis
position being manifested by any of them (as re-
ported by an arrival at n northern port,) Capt G..
declares their conduct throughout the voyage to
have been of the most orderly and becoming char
actcr.
Capt. c. represents the colony as enjoying fine
health, and exhibiting the pleasing spectacle Of ar
industrious, contcnted and thriving population
and that in the II days of his stay there, he did
not hear from any n desire to return Good
order, the fruit of good government, was every
where manifest, and the Military were numerous
and fine looking body of men,
The Shipping Intelligence furnished by Capt
Crowell, which will be found under our Marine
head, exhibits pleasing evidence of the mpro-
wing commercial intercourse with this prosperous
colony.
Such adviccs, we'll avouchcd from the rcspecta-
bllty OF their source-are well calculated TO re-ani-
mate the hopes of the Philanthropic founders of
this happy asylum for the descendants of Africa.
