CAPT. FITZROY'S RECAL.
We stop the press to announce the most important and welcome intelligence of the RECAL OF GOVERNOR FITZROY! This was stated in a debate in the House of Commons, May 5. The despatch containing Captain Fit2roy's recal has been sent via Sydney, so that our Governor will very soon be informed, that his power for working further mischief is gone. It is reported that the Governorship of New Zealand has been offered to two or three persons, but it was supposed that the colony was reduced to such a desperate state by Captain Fitzroy's measures that they had declined it. The Joseph Cripps and the Sister had arrived in Sydney. The latter had cleared out for Port Nicholson, but sailed for Auckland. The former was to sail in the course of a few days, after the Hannah. We have received the following information through the kindness of Captain Salmon. The British Sovereign left Sydney for Auckland on the 22d inst. with 230 rank and file of the 58th Regt., besides military stores and,Ar r tillety. The Regia had also been taken up by the Government to convey further supplies of military stores to this colony. A vessel of war had arrived in Hobart Town with specie for the Australian colonies. The Bee and Royal William were spoken by the Hannah on the 28th inst. in 161-30 long, and 37-37 lat. about 200 miles from this coast. The David Malcolm, a fine large vessel of 600 tons, is expected here in about three weeks from Sydney, when she will be laid on direct from this poit for London. The Oregan question is not likely to be the cause of war at present. A special Ambassador is to be sent to London by the United States, to negociate a treaty, and in the event of his not succeeding, the intervention of a third power is to be proposed by the Americans. The latest English dates received in Syd■ney, were up to the 18th May by the Hoogly. The Nelson atrivsd in England on the 29th of April.
Grand Illumination ! ! > It is proposed to celebrate the joyful event of Captain -Fitzroy's recal, by a General Iledmination this -evening.
