On her return fr.om her travels, Irer Royal
Highness was the universal theme of conversa
tion. The jouruttJista had hitherto said little
on the subject, but when she came back they in
dalsjed themsejves with much observation and
conlcadiotinn. Impatient to be icformedof the
particulars of travels so extended, and iu coun
tries o remote, I had recourse to. one of her
fluite ; that is to say, to the Chevalier schiavi
iii, "who had kept a iiurrial . of cousiderable
length. He had the complaisance lo allow- ne
t j perUse it, add X p an atlirm that it satisfieJ
ay curiosity. I there read, that her fioy.il
Highness had repaired from Genoa to the isle
of Elba: froai thensa to Sicily, where she vis
ited the priacijMt town. She then crossed o
ver to Barbiry, and. subsequeatly to Palestine
and Jeru:u!cm. She viiited Curtilage, Utica
and Athens ; she weut to Malta j she admired
the beautiful wou.cu of Mile, in tiia Archipe
lago; she viewed the '1'empie of Theseus, at
Athens ; ascended the TriiiUue of D.-moslhenes
and Eschines, and examined the famous ruins
of the town so oherisjied by Miuerva ; shecou
tempbtted the tillmbs of Pericles and Tlirusy
bulus j regarded vvith timid eye the Temple
of the Furies, where (Ed i pus expired.; visited
the tomb of the famous amazon Antiope, wif
-p-Theae! procedfd to Corioi," to viaitthe
lempie of xVeptuae ; and so on to Uonntauti
nople. After passing the islet of Zia, Andres,
Negropont, and the famous Tenedos, she went
to Troy to examine its latest vestiges saw the
tower that Kro inhabited before be crossed the
Hellespont .passed on to Mitileue, and from
thence to Scio), where she saw the place in
which Homer kept tis school. Thence she
went to Samos, to Ephe&us, aad to Cyrus;
thed to St Jean d'Acre ; then to Nazareth, af
ter having seen Mount Carmel. Wext to Jeru
salem where she admired the Holy Sepulchre
and the Temple of Solomon, which at present
is reduced lo a mosque. Thou to Bethlehem,
to the Mount of Olives, to the river Jordan,
and toJaififi, returning by Rhodes and Syra
cuse to Naples. From Naples to the now cele
brated totn of Pizzoj' to Terracina and to
Routes All this interested me very little, A
thousand travellers have run through the same
countries, who have published their narratives.
Tht which I wished to ftnow, was the nature
of tlie reception of her R Highness by the vari
ous governments which she visited what part
she performed in her traveI,anJ how she figured
in strange lands. Her receptionby the barbarous
governments corresponded altogether with her
greatness,' and she knew how to exact hoctage
even better by her personal qualilithan by
her exalted rauk. '

of the settlement, derived from the information

tract of that aeeount
Botany Bay is so called from the quantity of
new botanical plants found growing on its shores
The most considerable district is Sidney,
where are built ships of 500 tons, which sail to
China and Peru, The East India Company arij
jealous of the trade to China: should tbey crush
it, by theif iiifluenee in the British parliament
the measure would infallibly produce opposi
tion, and mightfhe productive of a serious rup
ture. The climate is pure, (diseases being
scarcely knowii,) and the soil isexeeTlent. The.
spring there is in August. Fresh fruits and ve-
cultural labor is the most profitable ; although
iu the town are found mechanics, manufactur
ers, aud arti.is ,of every'deseription. There
are two harvest in the year, of wheat, maize,
and grass." "One biishel of maize produces 600!
Ilice, millet and oals. thrive well.
The wild cattle are almost as numerous as
in South America. A peculiar breed of sheep
has produced a very superior fleece, estimated
to bo worth 6s. per pound, in Englaud,. Th
climate is favorable for sheep, and the mutton
is not surpassed. A wullen manufactory is es
tablished at Paramatta, (a dependency ;) and
at Sidney. 78 looms are employed in weaving
sails and sacking, a coarse cloth and linen.
Fropi Sidney, the Voyage to New Zealand is
frequently performed in three days ; to China,
in live weeks; to Peruin four ; to Bengal, ,
six, and to the Cape of Good-Hope, in five.
The Jea that wnshes the shores ot New South
Wales aud of Perii, has no violent enrreuts, no
u uu? w tuiis, no (jiunese riiRoons.
Herring visit Botany Bay during November
and the following .mouths and five or six spe
cies of.the tian comrnon to the British channel
are daily caught. ' Sperm whates abound. Oao
hi.use in Sidney, ci" three partners,' -fyTTMrly
convicts, in one year-remitted oil and seal skins
to London to the value of 00,o6o. The trade,
iu skin and coal is the most thriving; the cul
ture of flax and hemp, for exportation, is rapid .
ly increasing. Masts and -pars are exported to"
Bengal : and a profitable trade is carried on in
suiidal wood, procured from the neighbouring
eeejee isiai.ia. 1 . . :
Potteries and breweries have been establish'
cd. Iron ore. eood and abundant. Iras hin dig.
covered, but not yet worked. But the chief
hope of New South Wales consists in its exten
sive wild territory, recently explored. It is pro
bable that here the future glories of this inter
gltjog country will fix theirseatAlready the -people
are a remote from calamity as any na
tion upon earth Perhaps at no distant day, the
infant colony arriving at mature vicor, may re
ject parental control, and assume the indepen-
