Sickness among immigrants dominates far ocean dispatchs
Late from San Francisco dated February 80 claims great distress and sickness among Sandwich Island immigrants. A Commodore Jones led surveys of the bay and Santa Barbara region to assess navigability. Reports say 10,000 deaths from disease, but later Vienna dispatches cast doubt. A separate tale from Burlington Vermont recounts a slave’s perilous attempt to reach abolitionists, ending in liberty. World news follows with India’s Punjab campaign and Sir Charles Napier’s possible Anglo-Indian command, amid Wellington’s rebuke if he refused.
