PORT

NEWS.

On Sunday came in the Pilgrim American Schooner, Capt. Delno, from Bass's Straits.

On Tuesday arrived the Governor King, Messrs. Kable and Underwood, from King's Island 14 days: she had encountered many heavy gales in the Straits, in consequence of which her sails and rigging were much damaged. On the 3d of last month she fell  

in with the Nancy, Thompson, and accom- panied her to Western Port, where having   taken in a part of the freight procured by  

one of her gangs, she was obliged suddenly to put to sea, owing to the extreme violence     of the weather, leaving between two and   three thousand skins behind : she afterwards  

filled up at King's Island, her cargo consisting  

of 33 tons of oil, and 3500 skins.

Early on Wednesday morning sailed the ship Ocean, Captain Mertho, for China ;   may probably touch at Norfolk Island on her way.

Remain down the Harbour-His Ma-

jesty's ship Buffalo, and the Experiment.

The Civil and Military Establishment,   Prisoners, &c. for Port Dalrymple, are mostly embarked on board the Buffalo and her her small squadron, which are only waiting for the weather being settled, and a fair wind to proceed to their destination.
