(meridian of Paris),— the natives there being very friendly, and disposed to receive the missionarie* j a house was built for the Bishop by the crew of the vessel, and all was going on well when she SHiled. Captain RabalUnd states that "whilst there he picked up a piece of wood on which evidently some person's name had been cut, but defaced by the natives. On inquiring of them, however, concerning it, they tod him a whaling vessel had been wrecked some months previous on one of the adjacent reefs, and the captain and crew, with the exception of the mate and seven seamen drowned — one of these teamen bad subsequently died on shore, and that it was the name of this man that bad been cut on the piece of wood ; they also stated that the mate's name was Peter, and that after remaining with them some little time, they had all left in a boat for Sydney.

"Snaki."— On Saturday, thp 30th October, at one in the afternoon, the French brig of war Voltigeur, Captain Seven, anchored in the harbour of Port Louis having on board 76 men of the crevr of the English brig of war Snake, that had been wrecked. We have received the following details of this disaster :— The Voliig^ur, cruising on the eastern, coast of Africa, arrived at M aambique on the 7 tbSept last, and found the Snake ashore on a reef near Mocambo, ten miles south of the Isl-md of Mozambique. It learned from the crew that were encamped on the shore, that the Snake hid been wrecked on the 29 h August. The French captain hastened to offer to Mr. Broun, the commander vi' the Snake, hit assistance in saving the material of the ship, and it passage for his men. Only the latter was uecepttd By the 14th of September, they had succeeded in taking from the vessel almost all she contained, excr.pt the two large guns. A Portgueie rbip the Progresso, was chartered to convey to the Cape of Good Hope all the things saved, and part ot the officer* and crew consisting of the tick. The p'oxinoity of ihe Portuguese settlement was very favourable to the security of the shipwrecked, who would otherwise have ineretably been harrased and plundered by the barbarious hordes inhabiting that coast* At the bad season was coming on, it was necessary to quit those latitudes. The Voltigeur, Which «ince the 7*h bepterober had made an excurtion to'Pompa Bay, having returned, took on board s< yen y•ix men, amoug whom were Captain Brown and six others, some casks of Water, which had become necesttary from this increase of men, and set sail for the Mauritius the sth Oc ober. The Pro^resso was to leave Mozambique four days Uter. The commands of the Snake, and bis officers having arrived safe and sound at Mauihius, would not allow the brave sailors «f the Voltiaeur to return to Bourbon, where they ayr« expected, before Laving received a striking mark «f ifttir gratitude and esteem. They gave on tbe fol Joniflf day a spUndid dinner at the Hotel d'Europe, at Which, in warmhearted toasts, they took a pleasure in ext'tesfting to the French seamen the nob'ert and most affectionate fceiings. Frank and coidul nti tbe part of the offLera Of the Voltigeu. to th'ir comrade? ot the Snake gave to this brotherly festival a touching character of heartin«§ md deep tywvnby—Mauritiui Qvrnmt JVw>,4»
