>From The Sydney Gazette and New South Wales Advertiser, 1 February 1838 -- (From the Cornwall Chronicle, January 13.) We understand that the passengers of that unfortunate vessel, the Bussorah Merthant, have entirely recovered from the pestilence with which they have been so seriously afflicted, and that they may shortly be expected in Hobart Town. Since their landing, the whole of the passengers and crew have been placed under strict quarantine. We hear also, that Rell Vue has been rented by the Government, expressly for the accommodation of these emigrants, till such time as they may be enabled to obtain work.

Dennis, would you mind checking the spelling shown as 'Rell Vue'? Could it be 'Bell(e) Vue'? One of the subjects of my research is Rowland Walpole LOANE who built 'Belle Vue' (in Hobart), which was the subject of much litigation, and he had lost possession of it by this time. By coincidence, LOANE was a native of Bandon in Cork. Also, for those on the list not familiar with Australia, the 'Cornwall Chronicle' referred to was published in Launceston Tasmania.
