She is a middle-aged woman, slender, and inclined to a yellow complexion. She went out huckstering, and has a Government Pass with her.

From Newfoundland, nothing has transpired; nor from the Cork Fleet, as its passage has been a long one. But the Traveller has brought intelligence of such mighty import, that we deeply regret our want of room for a satisfactory detail; we have, however, done our best in the extracts which will be found in the next column.

The Glasgow Papers are to 24th of November.

It is evidently the intention of His Excellency the Commander in Chief, that the Royal Battalion of George-Town, shall become as respectable and efficient, as that of any other Militia Body in the West Indies: - for, in addition to the Artillery Company, with two field pieces, which is to be immediately formed; a band, we have been told, is also in contemplation.

The Opossum, late from this river, with the Packet, the ship Maxwell, and the schooners Joseph, Fame, Fanny, and Harriot & Eliza, in company - arrived in Barbados on the 24th ultimo. The Maxwell was to proceed for Liverpool on the 6th instant, in company of the Tiger.

We promised in our last, some additional particulars respecting the contest between the Ramoncita and the Hornet, but we are under the necessity of deferring them till our next.
