was frequent and highly gratifying to both
parties. Extracts from the Sydney pa
pers, showing the feelings entertained to-
wards the Squadron, will be found in an
other column. On the 22d Feb. the
Peacock put back to Sydney for repairs
in consequence of having lost her cut
water, carried away her rudder, and re-
ceivcd other severe damage in forcing
her way out of the ice, in about go S.
Lat. Her officers and crew were all in
excellent health. The Vincennes and
Porpoise were seen by the Peacock about
the Odd jan, two or three days previous
to her accident, all well. The Flying Fish
parted company in gale in Lat. 450, and
had not again been fallen i'm with when
the Peacock bore up. At the time our in
l6rmant left Sydney, March 9th } it was
expected that the repairs of the Peacock
would be completed in a fortnight, when
she would probably proceed to the Bay of
Islands to reioin the Squadron. The ar
rival of the latter in our port may be dai-
ly looked for.

Miss Bignel, Miss Henry, Messrs. Cum
ningham, Bignell, and seven native chiefs
NEws-On the 10Th of last month we
had communication with the natives OF
Tana, one of the New Hcbride Islands
finding the natives favourable to receive
in 'truction from our teachers, we pro-
ceeded to the Island of Erramanga, ex-
pecting similar reception, but the result
has fatally proved the reverse.
We intended making the S. w. side
of the Island, but it was late in the
evening before we got up with Dillon's
Bay, we therefore rounded the vessel to
for the night; in the morning we found
ourselves little to windward of Dllon's
Bay; it was the only apparent place on
the island where landing could be eff
fected, the whole of which island is, with
this one exception, complete iron-bound
coast, without the least appearance OF
culture; the natives are barbarous race,
quite different from those of the other
Islands, they are also a different species
of beings, approaching to the African
negroes, but their hair, although curly, is
not of that woolly description which the
African negroes have, being long and
strong; they are a dirty race of savages.
Wednesday morning, goth November,

ris Joined the Camden at Otahiti, for the
purpose of proceeding to this port, to
take his passage to England, with view
of arranging his affairs there previous to
his returning to the Marquese Islands as
a missionary.
On the boat approaching the beach,
we could distinctly see the natives were
averse to holding any communication
with us. Mr.. Williams made them pre-
sents of cloths, trinkets, &C., for the
purpose of gaining their esteem, but with
out effect. Mr.. Williams now proposed
giving up the idea of having any inter-
course with the Island and had made up
his mind to proceed for some other Island
where his services might be required. Mr..
Harris left the boat for the purpose of
proceeding amongst the natives. Mr.. H.
was followed at a short distance by
Captain Morgan, Mr.. Cunningham, and
Mr.. Williams, when Mr.. Cunningham
reached the summit of the beach, he
perceived Mr.. Harris running down to-
wards the boat, followed by large party
of natives armed with spears, clubs, bows

ana arrows, and Mr.. Harris fell the hrst

down, the remainder of the party speared
him through. When Mr.. Cunningham

ped to look moment for Mr.. II. he
made afterwards for the boat, and reach
ed the water, the boat laying off to keep
her ahoat, but in the hurry, stumbled and
fell, when the natives Immediately took
advantage of the circumstance and struck
him, Mr.. Williams, four blows on the
head with their clubs. BY this time Cap
tain NJ. and Mr. G. had gained the boat,
and pushed off. After Mr.. Williams had
fallen, another party of natives, number
ing between so and 100 speared him
through, although our informant thinks
that he was dead when they arrived. The
children threw stones and missiles at the
corpse. Neither of the bodies could be
procured, though attempted, but the nu-
tivcs made an attack on the parties re-
naming in the boat, and part of one of
their arrows now is to be seen stuck fast
in the boat of the Camden. When Cap
tain M. left the beach, the natives hauled
Mr.. Williams body up, and stripped it.
Captain M. intended beating the vessel
up to windward, and under her cover at
tempted the rescue of the bodies, but on
approaching the beach, he found the ma
tives had carried away the body of Mr..
Williams. Mr.. Harris body we e'saw no.
thing of.
Regarding this transaction, we are sorry
the Camden was not provided with the
necessary means Of defence, as had a
musket been in the boat Mr.. Williams
life would have been saved.
TIE AMERICAN SQUApRoN: - The
Squadron, which is under the COM
mand of Captain Wilkes, is pursuing
very important objects. Let us ex-
press hope that they may be success
full, and that they will return to their
native land, not merely with safety,
but enjoying the proud consciousness
that they have been successful in the
project they have undertaken. The
American Ofiicers-one and all -ex-
press themselves in the highest terms
which n sense Of gratitude can sug-
gest, for the attention which they
have met with in this Colony; while,
on the other hand, all who chad in
tercourse with them, uniformly express
their admiration of the gentlemanly
conduct, and the intelligence of every
Officer in the Squadron. But we had
much in our favour, and they had
much to incline us to them. We have
sprung from the same stock, and the
shoot is rapidly overshadowing the
earth. Yes: let scohers ral-let lest
ers joke-but the equitable principles
maintained by the American people
are being carried on the winds all
over the civilized world. We speak
the same. language as the Americans
our veins,
"Their hearts blood tracks its parent lake"

should not we and they be as friends,

themselves been accustomed, with
strange feelings, but at the same time,
with great pleasure. The expedition
will, we have no doubt, be beneficial
to science; and this Colony will still
farther be appreciated. Books relat-

newspapers will be dispersed through

here will thus be brought into notice.
