Postscript.

     

Yesterday morning a Native from Botany   Bay brought an account of a large ship having anchored there: As the wind was fair for her getting into this Port, the reasons for her going   into Botany Bay could be in no other way ac- counted for than the probability of its being some ship with hostile intentions. Every ne-     cessary preparation was made,and the detach- ments at the out-posts ordered to be in readi- ness to march. Major JOHNSTON immediately

set off to reconnoitre, and was soon after fol-   lowed by the GOVERNOR, Captain WOOD- RlFFE, and other Officers: On their return  

it was found the ship was small, and no ap- pearance of any thing hostile. In the course of the night the GOVERNOR was informed by

round.

This morning a Ship appeared in sight,

supposed to be the Britannia whaler Captain
