victim, for as soon as one knocked him


down, the remainder of the party speared

made afterwards for the boat, and reach


ed the water, the boat laying off to keep

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"
to the "parent'' country; and why
should not we and they be as friends,
AS brethren' We arc so at present
long may we continue so! At this dis
tant part of the world, the Americans
must have heard the same language
