(True Copy,) CHAS. BIDEN. 



At Covelong the weather, by the Log of the Ship Ino of White- 

 haven, was fine. 



The Brig Futteh Rohoman, lying in Poondy Road, between Ganjam 

 and Manikpatam, (latitude about 19° 35' N.) experienced on the 1st, 

 2nd, and 3rd June, strong W. N. W. breezes, preventing her from 

 receiving cargo. 



From Dr. Cumberland, Civil Surgeon, Pooree. 



I have the pleasure to send you an account of the weather expe- 

 rienced at Pooree, during the latter part of May, and the early part 

 of the present month. I regret it is not in my power to add the 

 barometrical changes, as I have no instrument. — N. B. The obser- 

 vations were made about 400 yards from the sea. 



22c? May. — Commenced with the usual strong S. W. breezes pre- 

 valent at this season at Pooree. The weather was sultry, Therm. 90°.
