Miscellaneous:

Yesterday evening arrived in this harbour, his majesty's Packet boat the Duke of Cumberland, under the command of Mr. John Laing, with the February mail from Great Britain. She left Falmouth the 16th of February, and brings London Newspapers of the 13th of that month.

The intelligence by the packet at last removes all our doubts on the subject of peace or war. The die is cast, and the blood thirsty faction in France, which have sacrificed an innocent and much injured Monarch, have sealed their guilt by plunging their country into a war, in order to screen their own devoted heads for a time from the punishment that awaits them.

The indigenous plants, to be sent home from this country by the Providence, will be very numerous, and truly valuable. Among them are upwards of three hundred different species never yet introduced into England.

We understand, that Captain Bligh is preparing for the press, a narrative of his late expedition to Otaheite, &c. and that, from the state of forwardness the work is in, it may be expected to appear in print within a few months after his arrival in England.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The brig Hind, which lately arrived at Salem, in New England, from Calcutta, in the East Indies, brings advice, that ten thousand of the inhabitants of the Isle of France have lately died of the small pox.
