with Col. John Carlyle for the addition.

SICKNESS ON THE VOYAGE.
OF the amnestied Communists who embarked
at Noumea five died on the voyage, eight were
landed at Port vendre in dying condition and
seventeen were seriously ill. The chief COM
plant Of the passengers was regarding the
quality and the insuticiency of the food. It
is stated that only thirty-fve meals Of
fresh meat were served during the entire
voyage, and to this fact nearly all the
sickness and death is attributed. The
Decentralization of the passengers was effected
with much less order than from the War; but
with perfect tranquility. Not seditious cry was
uttered Several touching scenes occurred at
the landing between the amnestied and their
relatives and friends. The inhabitants of Port
vendre received the pardoned Communists with
great hospitality. Tables were spread with sub
stantial and gratuitous refreshments, and the
wrctched and forlorn people were warmly well
coined back to France.
