  FIRST FLEET & BOTANY BAY: THE LONDON CHRONICLE June 23-25, 1789
  This edition features a small and intriguing article about "the dispute between the Governor and Lieutenant Governor of the new settlement at Botany Bay." (Governor Phillip, Lieutenant-Governor Ross, Major Bruce and the Adjutant General, David Collins are arguing about who is in charge!). Details are also provided of the corps that was being raised "for the defence of the colony" listing a total of 316 men. This information, together with the latest details of George Washington's activities, came to the Chronicle via a letter from New York which had been carried from Halifax by the Tankerville packet.
