LA PEYRcjuSE.,
The fate of La Peyr6u.sc discovered.
It is quite remarkable^ that, after all the
jitless search that has been made for the
forty yc-tes, to ascertain the fate which
[terrupted the splendid ’M'age of this un-
Irtunate traveller, farts, should have
fune to light at this late day, which bid
iir, not only to disclose the nature of the
(saster which befel him, but probably to
cstorc to their friends srmc of the sur-
vors of the expedition. It is n >t sur-
risine that the fate of his enterprising
aveller and his companions should have
cited the most lively interest in France,
e wnsjiimself of a noble,family,had been
anv years in the naval service, and had
stingnislrbd himself in the American war.
e sailed from Brest on the 1st of August,
/85, on a voyage of discovery in the Pa-
jfic Ocean, in the frigate Rnassole, ac-
mpanied bv the frigate A sir alible, c>m-
anded by Captain Langle, who was also
ffiee^of distinguished rneri*. llhnffi-
icrs were among (he most accomplished in
ie Royal Navy, and hiscrcws wero pick-
d men. He was accompanied bv a large
umber of men of science, who were fur-
islied with instruments ofevery riescrip-
on for the most exact observations. All
ie learned societies, furnished memoirs,
nd all the Governments of Europe offer-
d 'lie protection and assistance of their
urine. Louis XVI is said 'o have drawn
i the instructions for the voyage with
is own hand, and the expedition was rc-
arded as one which hid fair to render his
i/n illustrious. The two frigates donb-
d Cane Horn, visited the Sandwich Is-
nds, and arrived on the North West
oast of America, in latitude 58 degrees
ort'i, and there discovered a deep hay,
'lich *h'ey called Port Francois, without
vinglost a man, or had anv sickness.—
ii an island in this hay, they took in a
pply of wood and water, and were
lout to take their departure, when un-
rlunatrlv two boats, which were em-
oved in making some surveys, were
'veil upon breakers, and every person
i board them were lest, including six dis-
tguislied officer's. They thence nro-
'edfirl Southerly, reconnoitering- the
Vstcrn . Coast * of America, arrived at
la'.in in January, 1 “87, and afterwards
HatjiHa. Thence, they proceeded Nor-
lOiTv, bv a long and diOicul 4 track,

ih) Langle, who commanded the party in
on, was niassacreed with eleven ofhis

leverelv wounded. After this disaster,
La Peyip.ti.se proceeded to Botgifv Bavy
(rhence he mailed again in, the beginning
)i die year 1“88. The journal ofhis ex-
^pd'tion, up to this period, with memoirs
nd sclentificle collectione, were sent to
ranee, and a splendid account of the voy-
;e was published in four quarto volumes,
n 1791. the Government of France sent
nt two vessels in search of 'he lost trav-
lers but they returned without having
covered the least 'race of them, and the
me fate attended all subsequent inqui-
But the Paris papers just received, con-
tin a number of authentic documents re-
kting a variotv of facts, which justify the
inpe. sit ion that the place where the two
rigatrs were lost has been discovered,
nd tint, within a very short period, at
ast, some of the survivors of the wreck
ere . vet in existence. The principal
[acts now proved, ace the following: Capt.
iJIon, who, in 1813 was. an officer onj
c ard the Bengal ship Hunter, Captain :
tobinsonyon a voyage from Calcutta to j
New Hollind, the islands of Fidji and!
Canton, was on shore at a tovrn called Wi-1
ain, on the Sandal Wood coast, when, a
ptarrel arose, in wnich, of several Euro-
loans who were there nearly all were kil-
cd. A Prussian, named Martin Buchert,
who happened to be there, and a Lascar,
reaped from the massacre, and with Dil-
on, got on board the Hunter, requesting
Captain Robinson to put them ashore on
he first land they should make. Accor
dingly, Buchert arid the Lascar were land-
id at the island of Tucopia, in South Lat-
tude l2o 15’, East longitude 168. Thir-
/en years afterwards, viz: on the 13th of
Sfcv last, Captain Dillon, who was then
in command of the ship St. Patrick, bound
fronj Valparaiso to Pondicherry, happen-
ed <o pass in sight of thri island of Tucopia,
Excited by curiosity, and an interest for
his old companions in danger, he came, to
before Tucopia, in the hopfe ofascertaing
Aether the men whom he landed therein
1813 were still alive. He soon saw a ca
noe launch from the shore, which came
alongside, containing the very Lascar
whom he had brought there, and it was
soon followed by another canoe, contain
ing Martin Buchert, the Prussian, both in
good health, and overjoyedto see him a-
gain. They informed him that they had
beeq kindly treated by the natives, and
that they had seen no European vgssels
since they had been on the island, except
two English whale ships. The Lascar had
an old sword hilt, of silver; whiich he sold
<‘Q srime of the crew of the St. Patrick
for some fish hooks. On inquiry respec
ting this article, the Prussian said, that on
his arrival in the island, he saw this sword,
bilt in the hands of the natives, and also
several iron bolts, five axes, thie handle of a
silver fork, several knives, tea-cups, glass
beads, bottles, a silver spoon, with a ci
pher crown, and a sword, all articles of
French manufacture. The Prussian said,
that, after havingliecome sufficient mas
ter of the language, he inqured whence
these articles came, as the Hunter was the
first European vessel they hail ever seen.
They replied, that, at a group of islands
called Malicolo, distant about two days
voyage of their canoes where they made
frequent.voyages, they procured these ar
ticles from the inhabitants, v^ho had great
quantities of them in their pi^session. On
examining the sword hilt mopj minutely,
it was found to have <he initials of La
Peyrouse upon it. This excited the cu
riosity of Captain Dillon still further, and,
with the assistance of Buchert and the
Lascar, he questioned the islanders more
particularly respecting the manner of ob
taining these articles,, They answered,
that they had learned from the inhabitants
of Malicolo, that many years ago, .two
large vessels arrived in their islands. That
one of them anchored near the island
Wahnoo, and the other by the island Pai-
wo, which is at a little distance from the
first. Soon after they came to anchor,and
. before they had any communication with
the natives, a violent storm arose, and the
two vessels were.driven on shore. That
which was at Wahnoo struck upon the
rocks. The natives repaired in crowds to
the banks, armed with clubs, lances, bows,
and arrows. The threw some of their ar
rows at the vessel ; the crew returned
it bv discharges of cannon and musquetry,
and several of the islanders were killed.—
The ve.ssel continued to beat upon the
rocks, and was finally dashed to peices.—
Some of the crew embarked in boats, but
they were thrown on shore, where the en
raged n tives massacred them to the last.
Others jumped into the sea, and if they
reached the shore, it was to share the fate
of their unfortunate companions; thus not
an indi vidual of this vessel escaped the dis
aster.
The vessel which was wrecked at
Paitvo, struck on a sand bank, The na
tives came up to it, and also fired their ar
rows. The crew, however, had sufficient
prudence not to seek to reverigt his attack.
They shewed.the natives hatchets, beads,
arid other trinkets, which they offered
them in token of peace. The assailants
ceased their hostilities, and when the storm
was over an aged chief went in a canoe to
'he ship—he was kindlv received, pre
sents were offered to, and accepiedbvhim.
He returned to the shore, pacified his
countrymen, and assured them that the
men in the ship were good and kind,
Several of the natives went on board, to
whom they also made trilling presents.—
The inhabitants furnished the ship with
provisions, hogs, birds bananas, cocoanuts
«fcc. and a confidence was soon establish
ed between them. The crew being for
ced for leave the vessel, landed, saving ev
ery thing they could take out. They staid
there for sometime, and built a small ves-
>el with the remains of the large one.'—
As soon as this was finished, as many men
as it would hold embarked in it, and it was
abundantly furnished with fresh provisions
by the islanders. Several of the crew
were left in the island„arid their comman
der promised to return soon with presents
for the natives, and take away the remain
der ofhis people, whom he was now oblig
ed to leave behind him on the Island.—
He left them several guns, and powder,
by means of which they made themselves
very useful to their new friends, who were
at war with the neighboring island. The
inhabitants of Tucopia affinnedt hat a great
number of articles belonging to the two
vessels are very well preserved, and still
remain in the island of Malicolo. About
seven months before my arrival at Tuco
pia, a canoe from Washnoo had brought
two large chain bolts , and an iron bolt of
about four feet long. Captain Dillon
conversed with some of tha men who
made the last voyage in the canoe to Mali
colo. They told him that there still re
mained in that island many articles of iron
belonging to the ship-*wrecked vessels.—
These which Martin Buchert had seen
were very much eaten by rust.’ One sil
ver spoon only was brought to Tucopia,
and Buchert had made rings and other or
naments of it, for the wives of the islan
ders. Captain Dillon, on his arrival at
Calcutta, retained in his possession the
sword hilt, one of the rings made out of
the spoon and some of the beads, all of
which belonged to the wreck.
The Prussian hadjnever dared to makri
a voyage to Malicolo with the inhabitants
of Tucopia; but the Lascar had been
there once or twice. He affirmed posi
tively that he had seen the Europeans at
the island Paiwo; that they speak the. lan
guage of ihe country, and that he had con
versed with them. These men were old.
They told him that many years since they
were in one of the vessels of which they
showed him the remains. They informed
him also that no vessel had been to these
islands since they were wrecked there—
that most of their companions were dead
but that they had been so dispersed over
the different islands, that it was impossi
ble for them to say presisely how many of
them were still alive. Captain Dillon re
collected several other particulars of the
conversation he had with the Lascar and
the islanders, who confirmed strongly
their first assertions.
Having collected so many details, all-
tending to confirip tbe hope that he had
formed, on seeing the silver sword hilt
with the cipher, he resolved to go as quick
as possible to Malicolo, and examine
himself the remains of the wreck, and take
away with him, if possible, the two men
of whom the Lascar had spoken, and who
he said were Frenchmen. With this view
Captain D. begged him to accompany
him, but being married in the island, and
well settled there, he refused, and no en
deavors could prevail on him. The cap
tain even went so far as to promise to
bring him back to Tucopia, but he would
not consent. The Prussian, however,
being tired of the savage life he led for
fourteen, years, was desirous of remaining
with Captain Dillon. He was very glad
to retain him, and also procured an In
habitant of Tucopia to go with him on his
expedition. Buchert remained-at the date
of this account on board Dillon’s ship, and
was ready to attest to the truth of his nar-.
rative. They left Tucopia, May 1st, and
made Malicolo in a short time; unfortunat
ely when they came in sight of land, a
calm came on, which lasted seven days.—
The ship’s provisions were almost exhaus
ted, it was impossible to procure animals
at Tucopia, and they had subsisted prin
cipally on potatoes and the bananas of
New Zieland. The ship having been
long at sea, made much water; the super
cargo, who.was on board, and who had
been urteasy at the captain’s delay among
these islands, remonstrated very” strongly
against his prolonging it; and though” it
was with the greatest reluctenc, the cap
tain felt himself obliged to take advantage
of a breeze which arose, to continue his
voyage, and arrived at Calcutta after
was held on the 16th November Mst, in
which the Council, influenced by motives
of interests, and hope which was derived
from this account of Captain D. ordered
the ship Sesearch, belonging to the East
Indian Company, to be put under the
command of Captain Dillon, to goto Mai
icolo, and by all possible means' to gain
information of the circumstances connec-
nected with the loss of the tow vessels be
longing to La Perouse. To this expedi
tion was attached Dr. Tytler, who volun
tarily offered his services, and who is to re
ceive 800 rupees per month as compen
sation. We may expect shortly to learn
from Calcutta the result of this interesting
investigation. The documents from which
this narrative is taken, were officially co n-
rnunicated by the Government of the En
glish East India Company, to the French
Government, and were publised in the
Moniteur.
THE COLONIAL TRADE.
The plan for opening the back door for
the export of the Productions of our Lake
country through Canada to the British
W. Indies is rapidly going into execution.
The Committee of Trade of Quebec an
nounce the arrangements, to which the
British Ministers have assented."
“Montreal, and Kingston dn Upper
Canada, are to be declared Free. Ware
housing Ports ; and to extend the benefit
of the bonding system to the utmostlimits;
permission will; be given to enter all com
modities admissible under 6th Geo. 4th,
cap. 114, at the Provincial Custom Houses,
on giving security for their deposit in the
King’s warehouse in any of the free ware
housing ports in the Province, and to
Halifax. And to enable us to supply the
West Indies at the lowest rates, fresh
pork and fresh beef will he admitted, only
free; as will also fresh fish, saw logs,
firewood, dbc.
The N.-Y. papers describe the conse
qugpces of these measures. Here we
see (says ihe E. Post) that the disastrous
consequences which we predicted begin
already to disclose themselves. The ad
ministration have not lost ns the West In
dia trade only, but have actually thrown
it into the hands ofour rivals, the Canadas,
and 'he British ministers are prompt in
availing themselves of the advantages we
have put within their reach.—The pro
duce of those particular states on the fron
tier will now find its way down the St.
T awrence, not only to the exclusive be
nefit of Montreal and Quebec. but it will
afford emolnyment to a large amount of
British navigation, in transporting it to the
AY. Indies, which, a few months ago,
they scarcely participated in. Blessed
effects of presidential policy!”
“ However injurious (says tbe N. Ad
vocate) the present state of the colonial
trade may be to the states of Maine, Con
necticut, and North Carolina, it is certain
that.by the late British regulations on the
Canadian trade, all that portion of the U.
States which borders on the western lakes
or on Canada, will enjoy a very prosper
ous summer business-. Flour and various
other articles fit for the consumption of
the West Indies, are now admissible un
der certain regulations into the Canadas.
—Vermont, the western section of Maine,
N. York, Pennsylvania and Ohio, will
receive by this arrangement a great ac
cession of trade. A Syracuse journalist
recently stated that the plaster trade of
the west would be benefited by the late
proceedings of Congress on the colonial
trade, and a Rochester paper now informs
us that active arrangements are making by
the merchants and villagers of that neigh
borhood *o avail themselves of the present
favourable state of things in the west.—
There is one remark which the present
policy of England on the colonial trade
suggests to our minds, which may be pro
perly made at this moment. Tbe altera
tions made in Canada indicate most con
clusively that the British West Indies can
not receive sufficient supplies from any
odier part of the world, but the United
States. About the middle of last year, a
number of English cemmetciai writers ap-
"" .*■ o. f ■ >>
' iflMKl
peared to think that the Baltic and the
colonial possessions of England on the
continent, would always be equal to sup
ply with their productions the wants of the
British West Indies. If such had been
the case would the British have relaxed
their commercial regulations in Canada ou
flour <&c. ? They have been compelled
virtually by this act to acknowledge that
the West Indies are more indebted to the
U. States than the U. S. are to the W. I.
This new Canadian policy is probably in
tended also to benefit the colonial naviga
tion and to check the circuitous trade to
the W. I. from the Atlantic ports through
the neutral islands. Another point in the
subject, are regulations which have, or
are about to be adopted in Canada, rela
tive to the introduction of American ma
nufactures into that colony, and the im
portation of teas, &c. into the ports of
Quebec and Montreal, with a view, no
doubt, of supplying clandestinely the
states on their borders. They will, doubt
lessly, endeavour to pay for the flour
which they receive from citizens of the
United States, not with cash, but with
English manufacturesror East India pro
ductions. This must be checked if possi
ble, by countervailing regulations by our
government. If the Canadian shipping
interest is to be benefited by the transpor
tation of United States productions to the
West Indies, our manufacturers and tea
importers should not be in]ured by a con
traband trade which the Canadians may
create on the frontiers.” '
Such is the effect of the diplomacy, of
the Administration. This state of things
is calculated to enrich the merchants of
Canada at the expence of our own ; to
.employ the ship-builders and sailors of G.
Britain, at the expence of our own ; and
to carry off the productions of the back
country on the Lakes, at the expeDce of
Atlantic citizens. At - this moment
our _ . ■■
the Plim-ters of Virginia are suffering in
the reduced price of one of their greatest
staples. Corn is now down to 13s. 6d.
per barrel ; no doubt principally owing
to the shutting up of s the customary vent
to the British West Indies.
Colonial Trade.—The National Intel
ligencer of Friday says that it was rumor
ed, and appears to place some confidence
in the rumour, that at a late date, the ne
gotiations between Mr. Gallatin and the
English Government, relative to the Col
onial Trade, were about to be resumed.—
It is not improbable, notwithstanding the
decisive language of Mr. Canning’s last
letter, that his elevation may have wrought
same change in the temper of the British
Cabinet on this subject. He then spoke
the language of the Cabinet, and very
possibly language to which he did not in
dividually assent. It is well known that
his views and those of Lord Liverpool,
the late Prime Minister, were variant on
most questions—-and the complete ascen
dancy, to which he has attained, enables
him to carry his own opinions into oper
ation. It is a consequence of most min-
isteral Revolutions, to reverse the policy
of the preceding Administration, and efn-
barrassing, as the affairs of Englaud are at
home, Mr. Canning may very naturally
desire to dispense with any new difficulties
attendant b’n an interruption ofthe good un-
ers anding between the U.S. and England.
When it is remembered, that the differ
ences now existing, are more of form, than
of substance, the probability of a resump
tion of the negotiations, and their satisfac
tory conclusion, is greatly increased.
- Should this result happen, the country
will have a practical illustration ofthe
wisdom of the Administration, in seeking
to place this important trade on the secu
rity of treaty, instead of regulating it by
mutual legislation, liable to annual altera
tion, and involving the necessity of our
citizens understanding the complicated co
lonial and navigation 1 iws of England.—
The sneering epithet of a “ Diplomatic
Administration,” applied by an hpnora-
ble Senator, will be converted into the
highest praise, and the sneer recoil on
those who would regulate international
matters by legislation—to which national
faith is not pledged, and which may be
repealed without notice or reason.

mind, and hands, were supplied by others.
He was surrounded by a large, greedy,
Scotch connexion, which we hope will
fall off with him—to the great joy of the
nation, With regard to the Lord Ba
thurst, the public scarcely considered him
in any other light, than as an amiable and
well intentioned Nobleman, equal to the
discharge of the official routine of public
business, and capable of nothing Nieyond
if. As to Lord Westmoreland, nobody
seems to care about him He is satur con*
viva.
Having state^ejtfewcharacters D f the re
tiring Ministers^ e ^»will now ask, what
has Mr. Canning to fear from the course
which they have taken I Will their re
tirement be likely to obstruct the'will of
the King, or will it force Mr. Canning to
resign the post which he has accepted 1
We Sire firmly persuaded that it will have
no such result. Mr. Robinson, Lord
Bexley, Mr. Huskisson, Mr. Wynne, and
Lord Ilarrowby, remain in union with Mr.
Canning. Now, tho seats to be supplied
are—the Court of Chancery, the Fereign
Office-, Home Office, Admiralty,. Privy
Seal, and Office of Commander in Chief.
In supplying these vacant posts, Mr. Can
ning has his choice either to go to his
private friends, or to the Opposition.—
But to the opposition we are firmly per
suaded jie will not have recourse; first,
because such a step would be contrary, we
imagine, to the directions received from
the King to form an administration upon
the policy of ihe Earl of Liverpool; and
next, because the friends of Mr. Canning
are just as capable of occupying the va
cant posts as any of the Whig leaders.—
Lord Granville, who is destined to the
office of Foreign Secretary, has had great
•experience in all the foreign courts of
Europe, and is a man of considerable abi
lity and firmness. The Duke of Clarence
has already been appointed to succeed
Lord Melville. This step is decisive and
firm on the part ofthe King, and is a pro
per compliment to the presumptive Heir
of the Crown. It is a just rebuke of Lord
Melville, and shu's the door of office com
pletely against him. It is, moreover, an
indication that no recourse is to be had
to the Whig Benches. Indeed, all the
proposed arrangements seem to put Lord
Lansdowne, Mr. Tierney, and ’ Mr.
Brougham,' out of the reach of speculation
as to vacant posts. The Home Office
may be more difficult to supply; but we
think Mr. Robinson following in the track
of Mr. Peel, would give great satisfaction
in this post; and, when raised to the Peer
age, would greatly jild Mr. Canning in the
House of Lords. Lord Dudley will be a
good successor to the Earl of Westmore
land ; and ihe Duke of Cambridge must
be recalled from Hanover and placed at
the head of the Army. With respect to
the Great Seal, our own opinion is, that it
should be given to Sir John Copley ; we
know no other man to whom it can be
offered. The report that it is to be offered
to Mr. Scarlett is without foundation,
though we think* it highly probable that
that gentleman will succeed Charles We-
therell as Attorney General.
. Upon the whole, we consider Mr. Can
ning to be in little danger of having his
Administration broken i/p. His strong
est opponent will be Mr. Peel, who di
vides the popularity of the country with
him, and who has the Church to assist
and back him. Of the two, perhaps Mr.
Peel has more of the public confidence
than Mr. Canning. To conclude, we
consider the present to be the commence
ment of a contest between these two emi-v
nent persons, Mr. Canning and Mr. Peel.
The Duke of Wellington most strongly
supports Mr. Peel, and the friends of his
Grace seem to think that Mr. Canning’s
Administration will be a mere- rope of
sand.”

THE MINISTRY.
Let us consider the character and sta
tion of those Ministers who have actually
resigned.
The Lord Chancellor, who seems to
have led the way by withdrawing his name
from Mr. Canning’s administration, only
withdraws a weight of odium and unpo
pularity under which the late Government
could scarcely stagger on. He was op
posed to all improvement and reform, and
was no less an impediment to the course
of business in his own Qourtsjas a Judge,
than he was opposed as a statesman to ail
liberal and enlightened policy whatever.
His place, therefore, can easily be sup
plied by a better ; and it will be difficult
to sav where we can find a worse.
With respect to the Duke of Welling
ton, his retirement is much to be regret
ted, as, in bis own department, the milita
ry department, he was beyond all ques
tion, without a rival. His talents, his au
thority, and his high reputation, will be
much missed, But with respect to Lord
Westmoreland, Lord Bathurst, and Lord
Melville, their retirement is not a matter
ot any moment whatever. Lord Melville
(whose resignation very much astonishes
us) is a man of very little ability, of no
influence, and stood at the head of a high
office, in which the active genius, the
