The British Man-of-war “Scout.”—On the evening of this Wednesday, this warship of the queen arrived with the expedition of the Group Observing the transit of Venus before the sun, after 36 days from Valparaiso. The reason for them not arriviving early as was planned was because the Observation Expedition did not arrive in Valparaiso before the date it was planned for them to leave there.
