It may not be altogether uninterefting to thofe who may with for
information refpe£ting the concerns o f this fettlement, to find a regif-
ter of the (hipping which has vifited New South Wales from various
parts of the globe) whereby it will be feen, that, in however
infignificant or contemptible a point of view the colony may in
general have been held, individuals have found in it either a port
o f refrefhment after the fatigues o f a long voyage, or an advantageous
market for their (peculations. The arrivals will be confined
to the harbour o f Fort Jackfon ; only mentioning in this place that
o f the two fhips Le Bouffole and L ’Aftrolabe, at Botany Bay, in
jamaary 1788, under the command o f the ever-to-be-regretted and
unfortunate M. de la Peroufe, who followed in the path o f our
immortal circumnavigator, Captain Cook (with whofe name every
writer muft be proud to adorn his page), and who, like him, has
left his country, indeed the whole world, to lament his lofs.
