| Description | The capitulation by General Dalrypmle has been overturned with many soldiers of the French army now prisoners; hope that this will prompt Prince Eugene into returning: given the genral maxim of sailors always being dissatisfied, it is true on this occasion, as the inhabitants are the most ungrateful on earth, being lethargic and indecisive, the market expensive and unhealthy crowded towns, particularly after the Prince's emigration; wanting news from home; arrangements for post; upset about Captain Flinders' continued captivity. |
