On the 20th the Daedalus ftore fhip, from the north-wed coaft of 

 America, arrived in Sydney Cove. The Daedalus left England with a 

 cargo of provifions and ftores, confifting chiefly of articles of traffic, for 

 the ufe of the veffels under the command of Captain Vancouver, whom 

 fhe joined at Nootka Sound, on the north-weft coaft of 4*nerica ; and it

 though apparently of a very fine breed. They had been brought 

 from Otaheite. 



The Daedalus having touched at the northernmoft ifland of New 

 Zealand, Lieutenant Han fan brought away with him two natives of 

 that country, according to directions which he had received, for the
