Sir CHARLES ORMSBY had only one day.,s•illnesS. His complaint was gout in the stomach,"  ,SOUTH SEA FlSllERY.—Ffirther, accounts have been received from the Hydra South Sea man, Captain l USSI L, of this port, by which it appears, that at the end of July last she had 170 barrels of sperm oil on board, he'sides a whale alongside. The Hydra left Plymouth '26th of 'February, 1.817, since which the Wanderer has sailed from Dock for the Fishery ; and in a few weeks the Prince of Wales is expected to sail on . the short voyage, for black oil, eec.
