Times 26 June 1802.

1. "According to the last accounts from New South Wales
"dated in November, (1801 the Colony was in a flourishing state
"At Port Jackson the crops were very luxuriant and beginning
"to be cut down." A confirmation of what I have
already stated. and never doubted that here as elsewhere
God Almighty has done his part of the business. There are
flowers in the neighbourhood of Botany Bay — and these flowers
blow. Vegetables burn and even Animals when put there
and multiply there as elsewhere.

"Governor King had opened a communication with Otaheite
"for the purpose of supplying the Colony with pork,
"in which he had been singularly successful." What?
Pork from Otaheite? by a voyage of a month's length?
Two years ago Mr King was in thrown into ecstasies by at the accounts
of improvement and prosperity in the land of peace
and plenty. My expectations on this head being governed
as they were by his reports and exclamati figures of rhetoric speech, and not
by any figures of arithmetic, were at the time too sanguine,
for with all my prejudices against the Colony I could
not have conceived but that by this time it would have
been fully stocked. Yet so far is it from being so — or
near being so that a new project of for importing
the means of subsistence by a fourth four or five weeks
voyage is reported as a happy circumstance.
