	Summary Remarks	On Saturday last the Ship Gloucester, Captain Billamore, arrived in this river from the Island of Madagascar, whither she was dispatched by the Government of Bombay, above four months ago, for bringing away the survivors of the wreck of the unfortunate Ship Winterton. Captain Billamore sailed from Bombay on the 2nd June and arrived at St Augustine's Bay, on the Island of Madagascar on the 17th July. The shipwrecked mariners had left Madagascar two months beforehand and had embarked in a Portuguese vessel which had humanely been sent for that purpose by the Governor of Mosambique. The Gloucester left St Augustine's Bay on the 5th August and arrived a few days thereafter at Johanna, where they found Mr Jolly a midshipman, and ten seamen formerly belonging to the Winterton, who had been left behind sick at Joanna when the Portuguese vessel passed through on her way to India. They went on board the Gloucester back to Madras. The Portuguese vessel and other survivors of the Winterton were captured by the French and were taken to Mauritius.
