The Massachusetts Spy, And Worcester County Advertiser

The Asiatic Journal for October mentions the death of John Adams, Governor of Pitcairn's Island. He was one of the mutineers of the English ship Bounty, and had resided on the Island 40 years. His character appears to have undergone a remarkable change during the early part of his residence there; since which time he is represented to have been a pattern of all the virtues which adorn society. Under his influence the colony long since assumed a character of order, morality, and even piety, which has astonished every one that has had opportunity to behold it.
