Till3 drawn, dated ISth October, amounting to P.OoOi. have made their appearance at the victualing office. They are specifically drawn for wine, spirits, pork, and other provisions, furnished for the supply of his Majesty’s ships in the liver Plata. ‘i !:e following distressing account of the co lony at Nev. -South Wales, is extracted from a letter received from an officer, dated Sullivan’s Cove, New Colony, August 4, 1806 :—“ The Ocean brings you this.—Our situation is very bitd, under many sufferings; we have had no rations served lately, nor any to serve. We have not a drop of spirits in the colony; and are very destitute of meat, bread, clothing, iai ming and building utensils—in fact, of every thing, even to a sheet of paper. The Lieute nant Governor of this Colony is reduced, to an allowance of two pounds of rotten pork and one pound of flour’ per week: even at this rate we hare not a sufficient supply for one month.”— The captain of the Ocean says, he saw a merchantman going up the river when he was turning clowif; and he hopes she had supplies for the colony. We understand government has received advices from India-to the beginning of Octo ber, which represents the insurgents under Kao Ghantki to amount to nearly SO,OOO in cm We have seen accounts of a late date from Travancore, and from Cochin, which state, that the-banditti-on the hills were daily augment ing, by desertions from the native troops on the frontiers, and--that a considerable number of Arabs had joined them from the northward.— Apprehensions are eiitetained, that the adher ents- of Mulhar Row meditated another attempt on the strong fort Kurry—a relation of that chief w. s, at the elate of the last accounts, at the head of a numerous banditti on the hiils. . The Madras government was apprised many months since of a conspiracy amongst come of the native troops, and the movements of the Mysore army to the southward resulted from such information, Sir J. Craddock was collect ing a body of troops to send against Chailtki, and to restrain the Polygars from joining, him. A Mi'.

An extraordinary piece of sporting took place last week. A fine field of sportsmen, amounting to about seventy, went out with the Croyden harriers: the dogs soon .fell upon a line fresh scent, which they ran breast high near fifty miles, without ever being at fauit. The sportsmen, confident that they were in chase of a strong fox, exceedingly enjoyed the sport—Three horses fell dead through exces sive fatigue. At last, the dogs fell upon their prey, which proved to be a drag, made of a piece of bacon, nibbed with oil of anniseed, to the no small mortification of the sportsmen, ■who had so easilv swallowed the bait.—ft is understood to have been carried into effect b • 2 men stationed at the distance of 15 miles asunder, relieving each other. The lo'lowing solemn and extraordinary dying de claration of Thomas Woods, lately executed on hoard the Salvador del Muiido, for mutiny, is copied from a refpjflable London paper called the Independent \Vh i;;. .“f, Thomas Woods, who am going to he executed to-morrow morning, for mutiny arid a (lifting in the murder of the'officers onboard the 1 lermione, declare solemnly, that to the belt of my knowledge, l never law the o tit filet of that (hip The following is my testament and dying declaration, for the truth of which I appeal to God, who knoweth all hearts: “ The ftr(l fh:p I Served in was the Royal Sovereign, commanded by Admiral Graves and G’apt. Henry Nichols, in which I served until after the engagement cf tiie Ift • f June, I 794, but on our arrival in Plym outh, alcng-lide of the ll!k, 1 got permifiion to go on £ho e, and ran away. “ Some time in 1795,1 entered on board the Marl .. borough, on purpose to fail with my good old captain Henry Nichols, who had always behaved very kindly to me, and even then paid me forms money due to me from the Royal Sovereign, though I had forfeited it. by running away. Capt. Nichole left us in consequence of the mutiny at Spithead, which happened in May, 1797. Mr. Kent, Surgeon, left her at the fame time with fevers’ other officers, who recollected me very Well, as I have been invalided by him since, at the ‘Kore, where I think he is at present, as head surgeon of the Suffix hofpita! (hip; and what fully confirms the whole of my statement, is, I have been on and . efi near 1-1 years in hia majesty’s service, and never changed my name. After capt. Nichols left us, we laned in company with the Saturn and grand fieet to Plymouth, under the command of Capt. Eaton, who tilled himfclt in the admiralty office. Our next com mander was a capt. Allifou, a gentleman with or.e arm, who I believe is cow at Greenwich; and I con- Udering myfelf above the age of a bov, got my regis ter and shewed it to capt. AlUfon, v.lio promised to rate me from the time cf his command, but, desiring my dt.charge, he granted it. When the Marlborough was j aid (liortly afterwards, 1 forgot the sum 1 received but was entered on the books as a boy if the fecoDd class. „ *■ J then aflted the captain whether I might go or npt— to w hich he anfweted, “ Go, but I do not fee you by which I suppose lie could not difeharge me. I was taken on fuore by a bvmboat woman, now liv ing at Gofport, who will no doubt recollect it, as it was the morning o: fame day in Cdtober, 1797—: More than this, 1 have seen captain Allison at the rendezvous at Gravcfrnd w ithin two years, and asked timiof.a certificate to get my w ages, which he could net grant, not recollecting the time, and could not ex amine the Clip’s books. -‘ 4 1 next joined the Cleopatra, commanded by cap tain Israel ‘.Pelkw, and want to Halifax, from which f was difehargetf off Newfoundland, In exchange for a man pressed out of the Jenny brig, bound to the Weft Indies. “ I fincerelv with that the truth may he difeovered , though it can be” cf no avail to me, but may prove how much caution lhould be used in such unhappy cafes; though I confeis that the love of liquor has brought me so (his unhappy end. I acknow ledge myfelf the greatest of Tinners, and 1 pray to God to make it a v. aiming t o others. “ J sincerely forgive those that fwo re against me, and that, by repentance, they may meet me in those tealmsof bliss, w here, through the death and mercies of our Lord Jesus Christ, 1 hope soon to arrive. THOMAS WOODS.” CONGRESS cf the UNITED STATES. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, Saturday, February 2 1 . The house resolved itself into a committee cf the whole—Mr. Tenny in the chair, on the bill making an appropriation for the further protection of the ports and harbours of the U. S. The fret section of the bill appropriated “ 20 000 dollars” to this object. This sum was struck out. Mr. Cooke then moved to fill the blank with 300,000 dollars. This motion was advocated by Messrs. Cook, Ely, Dana; and opposed by Messrs. Chandler, Holland, Elmer and Fisk. Mr. Newton spoke in favour of making a liberal appropriation, without pledging him self to vote for the sum proposed.

SUPREME COURT of the U. STATES. Friday , February 20. Mr. Rodney informed the court that he had not been able to find any cases that bore with precision on the point yesterday submitted bv the court. Mr. Martin observed, that he had handed to the chief justice some few authorities, which might be examined by the attomev general. After examining them, Mr. Rodney Said, that he found Mr. Martin had not been more fortunate than himself, that the cases did not pointedly apply, and required no further obser vations from him. After some remarks on the inadmissibility of General Wilkinson’s affidavit by Messrs E. Key, Harper, Rodney and Martin, and some incidental remarks from the court—the chief justice said, the court would take time to con sider the case, and hoped by to-morrow to be able to give an opinion. Mr. Martin, in consequence of the proposi tion made yesterday by the court, requested them to state the bail that would be required for the recognisance of the prisoners. 1 he court required hail to be given by each of the prisoners, himself in a sum of 3,000 dol lars. with sureties to the like amount. Messrs. Martin and Van Ness were receiv ed as bail for Mr. Swartwout—-and Messrs. Mar tin and Harper for Mr. Bollman. Saturday , February 21. Chief Justice Marshal delivered the opinion of the court in the case of Messrs. Bollman and Swartwout. The op;r ion was very long, and went a considerable extent into a definition of the crime of treason. On several points involved in the case, the court, consisting of four judges, (Judge Liv ingston having gone home in consequence of the illness ol his daughter) were equally di vided. The opinion concluded w-ith the order of the court to discharge the Jirisoners. SUPERIOR COURT, January Term , 1807. Th“ following perfofis having been returned duly summoned, made default, viz.
