Sign — Approbation. The commander of His Majesty's ship, the Calcutta, having signified to the Lt.-Governor his intention of sailing for Port Jackson, on Sunday next, the detachment of Royal Marines belonging to that ship, at present doing duty in this settlement, will be returned to her to- morrow. The Lt.-Governor feels a pleasure in saying that, during the time they have been under his orders, they have conducted themselves in every respect like good soldiers, and he regrets that the present situation of public affairs will not admit of his making any requisition for their being annexed to the detachment of the same corps now on service in the colony, which it was his intention to have done. He is also much gratified in being able to mark with his approbation, and hold up as an example worthy the imitation of their fellow-prisoners the meritorious conduct of John Eawlinson, Urias Allender, Christo- pher Forshas, Wm. Thomas, James Price, and David Wakefield, which since their return from Port Jackson has been reported to him by Mr. Collins, who had the charge of the boat in which they were employed. They may rest assured that he will not lose sight of the service which so creditably to themselves they have performed. Garrison Orders. The detachment of Royal marines belonging to His Majesty's ship, Calcidta, will be ready to re-embark on board that ship to-morrow. The morning drill will, until further orders, commence at six in the morning, and in the afternoon at half-past one. Detail for duty. Sullivan Bay, 15th Dec. 1803. General Orders. Parole — Arrival.
