CONCLUSION, 



THE documents upon which the foregoing pages have been formed 

 extending no farther than to the departure of the Buffalo for England, 

 we mud here quit the regular detail of the tranfatlions of the colony, 

 and add fuch mifcellaneous information as has fmce came to hand. 



We learn from thofe who have converfed on the concerns of the 

 fettlement with Governor Hunter, fmce his return, that he poffeffes 

 the moft minute acquaintance with all its regulations, whether com- 

 mercial, agricultural, or legal. On thofe particular fubje&s, we under- 

 ftand, he had, from time to time, afforded the moft ample informa- 

 tion to government ; and, as he is now upon the fpot, we hope that 

 he may be able to fhew the advantages which this diftant colony wilt 

 derive from a more frequent mtercourfe with the Mother Country. 

 It muft be gratifying to all who may be in any way acquainted with 

 the fettlement, and are not ftrangers to the misfortunes under which 

 it has fometimes fuffered, to find, at this time, in government a de- 

 termination to (hew it a greater degree of attention in future, than, 

 from unavoidable circumftances, it could formerly obtain. 



Annexed is a lift of the public works undertaken during Governor 

 * Hunter's administration of the affairs of the fettlement. 



A large brick building, ere&ed by Governor Phillip, being much 

 decayed, was completely repaired, and an addition of 60 feet made 

 to it, for the purpofe of converting it into a granary for the reception 

 of wheat.
