A private letter from Malaya gives farther particulars of the massacre on board of the Borealis. The island where the outrage was committed is only two acres in extent though there are two hundred natives on it. The natives live on small islands throngh terror of the Hill men. The crews of the other vessels recovered the guns, blankets, knives, and rice from abandoned houses and burnt the huts, and also destroyed the cocoa*nnt trees, so that the murderers will be at the mercy of the Hill men. A party also destroyed the town in the mainland. One boat with two men is still missing.
