THE MASSACRE AT NEW GUINEA.

Further Confirmation.

[bidieb'3 cablkoeams.]

Sydney, this day. farther details are to hand respecting Hi massacre of the geographical expedi tion. It ia stated that Captain Everell, litderof the expedition, having reason to yjeTS that the native chiof Carossa, who ns piloting the boats up the Fly River, ,js misleading them, throw him oreiboard, whereupon Carossa, in order to be revanged, stole a boat, obtained a iimbw of fighting men, and returned at light and massacred the party. Several arajpe having been seen with now tablo inhea in their possession supposed to belong la to expedition, coupled with the fact that kptafo Everell failed to keep his appoint ment with Mr Macfarlane, point to the tntli of the reports previously received.

Iteo can Bcarcely bo any question if tie justice of his sentence, or of its ex psfacy, however unpalatable it may up pur to the French population of Canada. iFltiel had been justly dealt with on the occasion of the "Rod River robellioa to would have had a good few loss murders (oaniwer for, and the recognition that toner clemency was a mistake has done finchto cause ttio War Office to carry out

Should such his place, the guilt of inciting it i to' a great extent rest upon k press of the United States, which h never omitted 'an opportunity of liking Eiel's part and exciting sympathy bMjfavour.
