-7 C, R ■CALeCTTA, May lo.-A princess of New Zealand, one of ifae daughters of Tippahee, has arrived withiti these few days, in Calcutta, accompanied by her husbandt an Englishman of the name of Bruce. As the adventures of this couple are curious, and have excited a pretty general interest, our duty to our rea- ders required that we should collect some au thenticuutline pf their stdry j its princil at points, we are embraced in the sub- joined uaraUve :— George Bruce, son of John Bruce, foreman and clerk to Mr. Wood, distiller, at Lime- bouse, was horn in the parish of Radcliffe- highway, 4T79» lii 17139 he entered on board the Royal Admiral East Indiaman, Captain Bond, as Boatswain'sboy. Sailed fromEngland for New South Wales; and arrived at Port Jackson in 1790, where, -with the consent of Captain Bond, he quitted the ship, aud re- iiiaiiied at Now South Wales. At Port Jackson, Bruce entered into tbe tiav-,it coloi-ii'k'l service, and was employed for Several years under LieutenaiitsrIiobins, £ liiv-, ders, and others, in exploring the coasts, surveying harbours; head-lands, nicks, &c. During this time Bruce experienced various adventures, which do not conie within the design of this narative. After being thus em- ployed f«r several years, in vessels ofsurvey*, lie was turned over to Ihe Lady Nelson, Cap- tain Simmonds, ayessel; tilled up for the ex- press purpose of conveying Tippahee, Kiug of New Zealaiid, from a visit which qlcrnaôe C to the GoverntnenHbf Port Jackson, to Ins own country. The King embarked, a a the Lady Nelson sailed od her destination. Duftnp, the i)ass,,t,e, was taken dangerously ill, and Bi-tice was appointed to he acquitted hirnse|f,sP .highly to Ihe sviug s satisfaction, that he was honoured with{hissper I',eial ¡favour; and, on their arrival, the King requested that he should be allowed to remain with .him at New Zealand, to which Caplain Simnipjids consented, aud Bruce was re- ceived into the family.of Tippahee.. Bruce spent his iirsl few mouths in No* •. Zealand in exploring the country, at-id iii ac quiring a kllowledgctlfthc language, nwiii sers, and customs of the people. ile>fovn\ti hecoullhy hea-lthy and pleasant, full ofro at an lie scenery, agreeably diversified by hifh -oj dales, and covered with wood.—The fseopie Were hospitable, frank, and ope; iii,oti,Ii rudc,.iiid ignorant., yet worshippi>»i "either images nor idols, nor aughl thai is the work of human hands acknowledg- tug Ollt Omnipotent Supreme Being. As the Kiug proposed to place the yolitl Englishman at the head of his army, it was previously necessary step that he should h" tattowed, as, without having undergone thai ceremony, he could not he regarded as a warrior. The case-was urgent, and idmitted of no alteniaiive. He therefore submitted resolutely to tin* painful ceremony; and his countenance presents a niasLerSPCLifllell of the art of tallowing. Being now tallowed in due form, Bruce was recognized as a warrior of the first rank, naturalized as a N-ew #eaJan<ter, received into tbe bosom of the King's family, and honoui' ed with the hand of tire Princess Aetockce, the youngest daughter of Tippahee, a maiden of 15 or 16 years of a&e, whose native beauty had probably been great, but which has been so much improved by the fashionable embel- lishments of art;"that all the softer charms of natiwe, alt the sweetness o,f expression, are lost in the holder impressions oftattowing. Bruce how became fhe chief meinher of the King's family, and wavélted with the Go vernment of tbe lslaud. Six Or eight months after his marriage, the English ships, Inspect- or, the Ferret; a South Sea Whaler, and se- veral other English Vessels, toached at New Zealand for supplies, and all ef them found the beneficial influence of having a country- man and friend at the head of affairs in that Island. They were liberally supplied with fish, vegetables, &e. j&c. Our Englishman and his wife were now contented auid happy, in the full enjoyment of domestic Comfort, "with no wants that were ungratified, biessed Willi health and perfect independence. Bruce forked' forward with satisfaction to the progress of civilization, which he epeNed to" tllfroduce among the people with whom, by a singular destiny, he seemed doomed to remain during his life, While enjoying these hopes, the ship General WeHestey, about 12 br 14 months ago, touch- ed at a point of New Zealand, where Bruce and his wife then chanced to be. This was at some distance from the King's ptace ot resi- dence. Captain Dalrymple applied to Brnce to assist him id procuring a cairgo of spars and benjatuttl. &n<} requexteti specimens of the principal articles of produce of the island, all whichwas cheerfully done. Capt. Dalryiuple then proposed to Bruce to accompany hiiA to North Cape, distant about tweuty-five or it thirty leagftes^ where it was reported that gold dust could he procured, and Capt. Dalrymple conceived that Bruce might prove useful, to him An the= sekrch-for the gold-ditst. With great reluctance, and after many entreaties, Bruce conseuted to accompany Captaifi Dai- rympl':l.uldedhelUöstsi.)Ie.mu assurances of being safely brought biick and landed at the Bay of Islands. He acccxrdingly e.iHbarked with his wife oil botird the General Weliesley, representing, at .the same time, to Captain Dalrymple, the dangerous consequence* of taking the King's daughter from the island; but that leflir was quieted by the solemn and repeated assurances of Captain Dalryraple, that he would, at every hazard, re-bind tjiemt at the Bay ( fIslaiids, the place from which they embarked. Being at tength all onboard, the Weliesley sailed for the North Cape, where they soon arrived and landed. Finding that they had been entirely rhisihformed as to the gold dust,-the Weliesley made sail, in order to return to New Zeakind—but the wind be- coming foul, and. contilluiug so for 48 hours, they were driven froth the island. On the 3d day the wind became more favourable, but Captaiu Dalrymple did not attempt to regain the island, but «tobd on for India. Bruce now gently remonstrated, and reminded hiiii of his promises;- to which Capt. Dairymple replied, That be bad something else to thing of, than to detain tile ship, by return- ing with a valuable cargo to the island. Be- sides,. be had another aud better island iu view for him, 4 I CH reicbfifg'tbe "^eegee, or Sandalwood he chose to go on shore, and remain there f, Islands, Capt;in I-);klry,iiiple-,isked Bruce, if which he declined, on account of the barba- rous And sanguinary disposition of their inha- bitants. Captaiu D. desired that he would chuse for himselff and then took from him several little presents, which he himself and his Officers had given to him at New Zealand; these now were given to the natives of the islands, in the boats then alongside the vessel. ■ ■ ieavinr the Feegee islands, they steefed towards Sooloo visiting two or three islands in their passage < but the limits of this narra- tive do not admit of giving any account of the occurrence?, at those places, though they are not devoid of interest. After remaining four or five di^ys at Sooloo, fhey sailed for Malacca, where they arrived in December last. At Malacti, Captain Dalrymple and Bruce went on shore. Tbe latter was anxiomr to see the Governor or ComtHarifiing Officer, to state his grievances, and as it was late in the evening when be landed, be cocald not see him till the following tnorfting, by which tiririe Captain Uafrjf4H|iJe bad weighed from Malacca roads, leaving Rriwfe on sh«re, and carrying uffhl. wife on board the Wellesley to Penang. -t -ma:iidii Bruce acquainted the Commanding Officer at Malacca with his case, and expressed his wish to regain his wife, and to return with her to New Zealand.—The Commanding Officer endeavoured to console him desired that he wonld>patiently wail -al Malacca, for a short, time, as some ships might probably touch there, on their passage Troui Bengal to New South Wales, by which he would procure a passage for htiuself and his wife aud thaf, in the irlfetn time, he.wo«ld write tor Penaug, de- siring Ah^t his wife should be returned to he iitisbarid at Malacca. After wailing for tbre<; ] or four weeks/accounts were received oi l Ca-pt. Dalrympie's lirrival at .Peua-ng i;ps wtiich BrHce obtained the Commanding Odi j cer's pcrirussion, and left Malacca in this Scourge jfuu-brig, fqr Ponatnj, whore, upon his are, ht: found that his wife had bee: barteuul awaj to Captaiti" ltoss. On v.aititi<; upon the Governor ai Penang, he was »sker i ivljat satisfneiion hp required ior the iil-treat- 'I •neut he ha<! experienced? Bruce answered, that AH be wanted was lo ha.e his re." •'tored, and fogda p to New Zcalandi 'I'inou^h- tlie interference of fhe Governor, his wrfe was restored to hiu) — With her he returned to Slalacca, in hope of Ihe promised passage to New South Wales hut as there was no appearance of ttie "d ships for that port, tie was now prÖmiseda- aassage for biinsclf and his wife to England ia one of the honieward-bouiid IlJdiauTCllfrom China, By getting to England, tie hoped from j thence to find; passage !o:" New South Wiles; but the Cbina fhips only anchored in Malacca liouds for a fijw lioura during Ihe night, so thaI, he ha'd no opportunity. of .proceeding by finy of the ships of that lleot. lie then en treated tbe'Coinmanding officer to him n passage in the Sir Edward Pel lew to PenaVfg, i where .he hoped to overtake the htdiameii.— j A passage for hiijiself and wife w.as accordingly j providotl oil board the Pellew and, ou his arrivaf at Piui&ng, be found the Iiidiaifieu stili''thel-e, i but he could not be ac coirirnodaled with a passage to Europe, with- out the payment of !tOa¡,lhHs.Nothavn< thkt sum, and without the meani to raise it," be came on with tite Sir Edward' Pellew to Bengal, where be,, and hi# wife, thS most af- fectionate companion of, his distress, have been most hospitably received, and where (heir hardship?; atid Idbg; sufferings will: be soothed and .forgotten in the kindness that awaits Opportunities will .probably occur, in the course of a few months, of a passage to South Wales, from whence they will find no difficulty in regaining New Zealand. £ t JtwaobeUeved that the vi^it of Tippahee to Port Jackson had parity for its object to inquire after his favourite daughter and his son-in-law, who had been carried so unac- countably from his coasts. As we were unwilling to Interrupt the course of the preceding narrative by any matter not. immediately xonnected with the parties, we reserved, for this place, a short account of tbe natural produce of New Zealand at raccount thatmust hi co i sale red as coming from a man long resident in the country, and who had opportunities of satisfying hiruself on the points to which lie speaks. Bruce, our present informant, relates, that New Zeatand abounds with agreat variety of useful timber, among which are the pine and the fir the forests are of great extent, and may be considered as inexhaustible. Flax and hemp, which are both indigenous to that country, giow in the utmost profusion. 101- mense plains arc entirely covered with these plants, some of which is cultivated, but much the greatei Jiirt is of spontaneous growth — The tree producing the white benjamin is also found in maiiy parts of this island. Minesof different yaluable metals are known to exist in the the interior. Specimens of their ores have been obtained but from the total ignorance of the people in metaHurgy. t, p or in any other art of civilized countries, their miries reniaki tin wrought. ilroucncsåre found in great abundance, and with these the natives paint both theinsel,ves a-tid.,tlieir ca- noes. Cahbage^f the common and sweet potatoe, jams, parsnips, turnips,, carrots, &c. rank among tbsjr garden vegetable#. They have a plant somewhat resemhling a fern, with a large root which, when roasted, is a pleasant; wfiolesoriie food, dud is a most excellent substitute for bread, j They have also. fruit trees, some of w-iiich -are indigenous; others arc exotic. The oraHge and the peach have both been introduced from the Cape of Good Hope, and are in a very thriving way,- .f Breeds of swine and goats have been, lately, brought into^ew Zealand, and are increasing rapidly. Fish they possess in great variety and profusion; ana during all the months of the yean :,4a, the summer season they are vi. sited bv shoals of mackarel j, and during the winter their coasts are frequented by immense quantities of herrings. The island is watered by riiany, hiie rivers, which abound with fish, SONe ofwh Ich are well known in Europe, while others.,secin peculiar to the countries-in « tbe Southern Ocean. The shores of the rivers lad their l&kes are fretiueiiteti bj wild geese and wild-d it is fettt Ark able that they have notinu web-fooicd birds. The I only quatdruped ou the land is a kind of fox, and theyronly reptile a dull sluggish lizard. IV T,§ E IV C

The following circumstance ocetiri-ed a few days since, bet-ween Peûrithohd At.h,)u Moor, jOju; of ^he-most mountainous parts tn England; where within these few days, an Z, immense quantity,of snow had fallen, which renders travelling in t bat part of Cumberland extremely d and almost impracticable. As Mr. Campbell was proceeding in that di rection, in company with a soldier* of the iianne of Burue, on hlsrcturn from Walche ren, dreadfully debililatetl by the malady, the cold was so intense, that they were frequentlv obliged to clamber on their hands and knees lor several yards when Burns, at length, be- ''■time per!«clly exiiausied, and was unable ip, proceed -atiy fartber. 1VIr.

Several stout shipwrights have dressed themselves in Wo- men's cloatbs, and have gorie single and in pairs through a number ol bye lanes, but hi. therto without success. A letter from Lowestoft, dated December, 18, I)reici).ts a most dis- tressing scene. The beach is., strewed with wreck, and between th is place and Yarmouth many vessels are on slrorc-the gale on Thurs- day evening, was tremendous. The extent, of the damage it occasioned cannot at presetifc be calculated. One vessel, the Cathefine, of Sunderland, coal laden, was upset nearly op- posite Lowestoft. From the position" of thd ship, and the violence of tbe sea» it was im- possible for some time to ascertain s^hetber any persons were on the wreck. At length [ one man was discovered, aud the Life lioat, was as soon as possible launched, which shew. ed her peculiar excellence in the mainier iu which she rose on the surf, a.nd stemmed the torrent. When the Life Boat reached the wreck, the only survivor of the crew was al- most perished wUh cold, and great was the diffiebfty which still remained tb get him into tlie boat. To drag birti by a rope tiiroLgh. the water was thought too hazardous iu his CMLhausled slate another mode was tbereiore adopied, but which, in securing the person, exposed him to be crnsbed between a piece of. the wreck, and the boat. Some of bis ribs were broken, and in that state he was coÜ- veved to the shore; where every possible care and attention have been tihcwn to hMn., On Saturday a boat going from the shore to some- wreck,. was upset in tlie attempt to get off'; all tlie men were finder it, and in all probabi- lity some would have perished had-iiot a wave a itgain raised the boat, and enabled those who were beneatb it to employ means to assist themselves, and to receive hetp from othei s. One of the men would inevitably have been tost had it-not been for a Newfoundland dog, which saw hini tt,a dt»ta(ifc.from all humaii aid, swam to. him, seized hilI) by the artd riever left bis hold till the man was safe, though both the dog and man were frequently bUriediUliderthe waves. This is the second instance in which the same dog has preserved H(I life of a rational being. He belongs to Mr. Reed, of Lowestoft." .1,1-'
