We referred few days sincs to the receipt by the
Navy Department of dispatches from Commander
Sinclair dated at Tahiti, August 10th, on board
the o. g. ship Vandalia, and stated that Com S.
had taken from the island Of Nuka Hiva three dis
tressed sesmen, left there by whale ship. While
there, the despatch says, boat arrived having on
board the csptain, chief mate, and two of the
of the whale ship Wild Wave, Of Boston, which was
wrecked on the island Of Oene on the 4th of March
lsst on her passage from San Francisco to Vaps-
raisO. After his ship struck, the captain and mate
and two of the crew went to Pitcairns island for
assistance, but found it deserted, its inhabitants
had all gone over to settle on Norfolk island. En-
deavoring to land in the heavy surf the boat was
stove and the party were consequently detained at
Pitcsirn's island for four months, during which
time they built the little barque in which they
providentially conveyed to Nuka Hiva, distance
of some ], 100 miles. Before leaving the island
where the vessel was wrecked the Captain instruct
ed the men left there to 60 Tahiti if they should
conclude to leave Oene before his return. They
were left with plenty Of provisions, recovered from
the wreck, and had water in abundance on the Is
land They had also, two of tho ships boats While
detained at Pitcairns Island the Captain and those
with him found plenty of food left there by the in
habitants. Commander s. had gone to Tahiti to as
certain if the remainder of the crew of the wrecked
ship were there, but not finding them, he intended
starting Immediately for Oene, and assures the de-
parment that his search for them shall be very thor
Ough. At the island of Rooahoogah Com. S. found
six white men-three Americans three Englishmen-
who have lived there fourteen years, and have COM
petely identified themselves with the natives so as
not to eesre to leave.

Of the rebels in Divide and against districts is TO-
056 and guns. 1t is said that nine columns will be

poys killed executed, and adding casualties
by sickness, wounds, and want, not more than 20 |
per cent of original Bengal is in existence not in
'luding the disarmed regiments. There is said to

1t will be recOllected that several months ago the
Government of Great Britain suggested in general
srms that some mode ought to be adopted for veri-
ring the nationality of vessels which could be mu,
tally used by both parties without offence to either,
nd the distinct form of the proposition has been
ade, nor is it known what arrangement her Males
g Government will recommend. 1t is not, how
7sr considered to be necessary for the United States
take the initiative in this mster, as the law of
atoms is acknowledged by Great Britain to mean
at for which our Government has always contend
. If England desires any notifications of her
opOsition it will of course be entitled consider
ion.
