Dispatches were received at the

 tlement dated the I3th of June, the 

 2d of July, andths tifth of August, 

 by the company's ships, the Ocean 

 and the Amy, which have both ar- 

 rived at Plymouth with African pro- 

 duce. It appears that the colony 

 were advancinj, and the affairs of 

 thecompany improving in every re- 

 spect, when a temporary interruption 

 was given to the peace and order 

 ef the settlement by the turbulence 

 ef several disattected Nova Scotia 

 settlers, who endeavoured to rescue 

 some refractory persons of theirown 

 body that had been arrested for a 

 breach of tiie peace. Both the in- 

 dividuals whose rescue was demand- 

 ed, aud the ringleaders in the suc- 

 ceeding tumult, have been either 

 taken up and sent to Englaiid, or 

 ebliged to quit the colon\'. The 

 rain? had bet-n se-'ere ; no death, 

 however, had happened among the 

 whites for manymonihs, though se- 

 veral were indisposed. An expe- 

 dition, of about i.'iO miles in circuit, 

 had been made to the interior coun- 

 try, by tw» of the company's ser- 

 vants, one of whom, accompanied 

 \)y anolhe.' company's servant, en- 

 coura;;ed by the success of this ad- 

 venture, was preparing to set out on 

 a journey to Tombuctoo, in the 

 hope of being able to penetrate 

 through the concinent of Africa. 

 The last dit,palches are dated about 

 three weeks 'subsequent to the tu- 

 mult which iias be>.'D mentioned, 

 when the peace of the colony scen)- 

 •d to have been full/ restored. All 



the company's ships which were ex- 

 pected to have reached Sierra Leone 

 had arrived.
