’ Tuning-
South Sea Island.
From the New York National Advocate • 1
On looking ever our files of the
London Observer, our attention was
drawn to a statement Os some inter
esting particulars, respecting an
European of the name of Wilson,
who now acts as an independant
»i ign in one of those Islands. It
ars that an English, vessel nam
ed the Concord, which had been fit
ted out by a mercantile house in
London, for a three years voyage to
the South Seas, after having touch
ed at Valparaiso in 1818, made sail
for New Zealand.
“ Approaching a small duster of
Islands, which had been discovered
by former navagators, they observed
several large canoes coming off with
the symbols of peace. The chief
being admitted upon deck, present
ed to the captain a paper wnich he
regarded with enthusiasm. The cu
riosity of the captaia and crew were
much excited by the appearance of
European writing paper delivered by
one of the natives of an Island,
which they supposed no civili/rd per
sons had before visited. He open
ed it and read the following words
written in English:—
“ Let the navigator who reeds this,
nn no account drop anchor near the
two Islands, west of the Island with
the bay. Steer for the East point of
the small Island, with a low beach,
stand for the bay and you will meet
a pilot. 1 wilt come oil and conduct
You safe in.
AN ENGLISHMAN.
The courses and soundings of the
harbor were laid down, and other in
formation necessary to navigate the
ship to the Island recommended. It
Also directed the captain t > fire a gun
when he wanted to get rid of the na
tives. The chief would not consent
to quit this precious scrap of paper,
which he considered some attribute
of divinity. The captain, therefore,
with due solemnity, returned it his
hands, having first made the clerk o
the ship take a copy This unex
Eected communication induced the
oncord’s officers to run for the Isl
and. The\ first fired a 'Un over the
heads of the natives and in a few se
conds the chief and his followers
w j re overboard, swimming to their
Canoes, in which they paddled off.
The ship running upon the course
greeted, soon discovered a roan in
a canoe, endeavoring to weather the
Coint of the small island, but. again
>st sight of him. They did not find
the pilot mentioned in the letter, and
Consequently did not attempt to ex
glot-c the entrance to the bay or har
uc that nihgt. The next morning at
day break, the watch were surprised
by hearing a man alongside, cry out
in English, “ Throw a rope ! throw
• rope overboard and pick me up.”
The chief mate supposed one of the
crew was overboard, and instantly
called the captain but before any or
ders could be given, a strange white
man, wearing the dress of the na
tives, was upon the deck; at the
game moment he darted upon the cap
tain. threw his arms round him, and
exclaimed. ~ Thank God I have at
last seen a countryman”—The first
transport of the manhaving subsided,
he declared himself the writer of
the letter sent out by the chief. He
added, “ I came out to pilot you;
my canoe was swampt and 1 was
obliged to swim to the rocks, five
miles to the windward of the point.
I remained there till the weather
grew more moderate, and three hours
since I swam for the ship.” This
extraordinary person was soon re
freshed with grog, ami having again
expressed his gratitude to Heaven
for once more bringing him to con
verse with Europeans and English
men, entered upon a statement of
the remarkable circumstances which
had brought him to Ins then situation.
He said his raamc was Wilson ; and,
thathavirg, with four others, runaway
with the. boat of the Olive Branch,
(ship of 490 tons) at Otaheite, where
they had touched for provisions, they
were driven by the current tp the
eastward.
After being five days at sea, they
landed upon the Islands which he hail
warned the Concord no* to approach.
They had no sooner set foot on shore,
than the natives rushed upon them,
and kill ml his sornpaniuns. While
they defended themselves, he ran
along the shore, and getting into a
canoe, pushed off to sea. It was
night, and the next morning he found
the canoe on the shore of another
Island to the eastward. He at first
«aw no savages, and flattered him
self that it was uninhabited. He
laid down to rest, overpowered by
suffering. About an our after, he
.awoke, and touud himself surruun
Med by savages, several of whom
leaked upon him with terror and as
tomahment The chief among them.
after making strange gestures, gave
a signal, and they all fell down to
wo'ship. They considered him, as
he afterwardes understood, a «u-
Bematural being that had come from
ie skies. They supplied his wants,
made him their chief ««d gave him
for wif(#a female, by whom he had
three children when the Concord ar
rived. Fie acquired a knowledge
of their language, civilized them,
and instructed them In the history
of Europeans, their manners and cus
toms. He wac acknowledged king of
the island, and assumed among his
subjects the sole rule. He gave the
chief the letter which eyas presented
to the Captain of the Concord, telling
him it would bring every big canoe
with Europeans, to the Island.
The chiet on that account honored it
as a charm or talism. Wilson pre
tended that he had nodisire to leave
the Island; and told the captain of
the Concord tlmt he need not fear
losing his men as he certainly would
order every man to be put to death
who might run away and seek refuge
among the natives. He added, that
he would be the only king. The
Concord was taken into a tine bay,
where the crew met with fine treat
ment from the natives, who supplied
them with hogs, water, and bread
fruit in abundance. Notwithstand
ing the promise of Wilson, not to
sutler the men to desert from the
ship, four men run away and could
not be found, it was thought the
real object of the petty sovereign
was to entice all the men he could to
remain in the island, and the Con
cord, to save the rest of her crew,
■nude a hasty departure.
The above narrative was made by
one of the mates of the ship, who
arrived in England a few months
since There is in this account, if
true, ar. instance of savage cruelty,
hut the manners of the natives of the
Friendly Islands, and the general
conduct of the South Sea Islands,
is mild and amiable, compared with
the violence and barbarities commit
ted by what are termed enlightened
Europeans, carrying on war and
commerce in the same part of the
world.”

Singular Discovery.
The subscriber informs the public
that hr has lately made a discovery
in the animat economy, that has a
like escaped the comprehensive
mind of an Aristotle, and the mi
nute and multiplied researches of the
moderns.
Although the fad hies, which wili
result from this discovery, to the
human family, afford him an elevated
and peculiar satisfaction; yet the
pleasure which he feels in contem
plating his achievement, ig by no
means diminished when h* reflects
that it may assist in assigning tr
gentlemen of the cm-dica! science,
a station above the rank of nurses,
ft is painful to think how long* our
reputation has convolved before the
oreath of calumny. An elegant
writer has assigned us a place in the
scale of utility below that rs the
menials of a sick room; and another
sad and learned gentleman, whose
book will descend to millions yet
unborn, advises us to learn to write
wills; deeming it politic that we he
qualified to supply the demand
which we occasion. But thus it has
been with all the great benefactors
of mankind. Socrates and Galileo
felt the ingratitude of the world; and
we, who are destined to act in the
most painful and harrassing depart
ments of civilized life, are stigma
tised only qualified
to shorten up the sinev't
With sved cramps, ami grind the joints
With ary Convulsions.
But to the point I have lately
placed the powers of absorption
and secretion so entirely under my
control, that I have it now in my
power to announce to the world,
that the bodies of animals may be
increased or decreased, at pleasure.
I have lately caused the tail of a
healthy greyhound to be absorbed
and reproduced, in a few hours
without any marks of pain or in
convenience; and the aforesaid grey
hound now wags his new tail with as
much ease as any dog in Christen -
dom.
The advantages of this discovery
are so manifest that I deem it scarce
ly necessary to delineate its opera
tion on the affairs of life. In the
first place, I have observed among
us certain tailless apes, which being
well grown and clad in man’s ap
parel, arrogate to themselves the
privilege of ranking with the hu
man species, though entirely **gin»
horse’ in all their habits and opini-
These creatures may now be
furnished with the insignia of their
species,—tails,— and thus mav one
great cause of imposition on weak
minds be entirely removed. In this
age too, when—
Not a charm of beauty’* mould
Prcumes to *t»y where nature placed it
the pains of the ladies will be great
1/ deviated by the innovations,
;
which this power of altering the bo
dy at Pleasure, will introduce ih the
arts of the toilette. It will 10 long
er be required of the necessay Wo
man, to exert the utmost vgoUr of
her brawn tto Unite the serrated edges
of that rival of the lover’s inns—
the tenacious corsettc. The hlr en
slaver will no longer raakratohe
menr at night, for the pain the has
inflicted on her admirers during
the day; and writhe in agmy, Us
the blood is suffered to retun to her
gradually emancipated dust.
Rouge, and every albefacieit appli
cation, will now become obsolete —
And huug quite out of fashion,
Like rusty mail in monumental mockery
For increased action will enable
the cheeks to vie with the mangel
wortzel, and by facilitating aosop
(ion, the neck and arms may by
whiter than the Swedish turnip—
and notwithstanding this great com
pass of complexion, the ladies will
be equally free, as at prevent, to
wear any intermediate tint, which
may happen to be fashionable.
But the advantages of this disco
very are not confined to the dress
ing rooms of the ladies. At the
toilette of young gentlemen too, it
will tender distortion quite consist
ent wih health and ease. It will
erase from the bills of the tailor, the
items of padding and Russian belts,
and will, lam assured, give equal
satisfaction, should the next season
introduce the fashion of fringing
the hands with toes instead of fin
gers, or wearing the calf of the leg
behind the ear. When a young la
dy, on her wedding night, expects
to receive ntoher arms a Hercules
or an Adonis, how must she be cha
grined to find her affections have
been won by whale bone and mornc
co, or a act of cushions! In this
age of deception the body at least
may be what it seems t<- be, and
gentlemen whose sides an protube
rant as if lined with capcn, may be
as square-shouldered as Paldy Carey
and as slim as wasps. The Scotch
heel and the bulbous knee nay be re
moved, as well as tho post ancle
and cucumber shin. The quondam
belle need no longer trenble at the
horror of surviving her (harms; for
the wrinkled skin, the excavated
heck, the sunken mouth, and every
other evil, which results fiom a pre
ponderating activity in he absor
bents, map now be removed with
perfect facility. In a sister stnie,
it is a cause of universal complaint
that the ladies of universal complaint
that the ladies of the present day
are mere cluodicimos compered with
those venerable folios of antiquity
their grandmothers. This difficul
ty. with a thousand others, may
now be reoiovcd;—and should any
gentleman think fit to forward me a
diminutive wife or daughter, she
can be returned to him a fine doorful
«.f a Woman,—and as blooming a
wench a* he would wish to -ee over
a washing-tub. indeed, toe
subscriber invites the attention of
all those who may require appendix
or abridgement.
So far we have reviewed the utili
ty ol this discovery, only where the
circle observation has been micros
copic. But the advantages which
flow from it extend their influence
even to those distant quarters ol the.
earth, where the merchant has not
ventured with his gold and his cal
culations. The human family will
now no longer realize the sad fable
of Sisyphus by an alternate renova
tion of hope and disappointmen, and
the happy forms of civil polity, which
nurture us to-day, will not be for
gotten in the ignorance and anaachy
of to morrow.—The ph’loso; hical
writers of the present day, tell us
that intellectual superiority is only*

My worthy old Friend :
This is to let you know that I
accidentally departed mortal life the
23d of December, Old Style* about
eight in the everting. The Doctors
disagreed as to the cause of my ill
ness. One of them ascribed it to
mince pies; another to a villanous
Fricaudeau, and a third to a plum
pudding, which I assisted in discus
sing on New-Vear’s Day. Whatever
it was, it carried me off while they
were discussing what was the matter.
One of the doctors came very near
curing me by means of a stout ivory
headed cane, with which he made a
great blow at my disorder, but miss
ing his mark, laid me over the head,
and fairly did my business.
My ji incipal reason for troubling I
you with this latter, is to beg the fa
vor, (if you have such a thing in the
way of curiosity) to send me by than
first reputable ghost that comes thin
way, a small piece, of silver. 1 re
main here in rather an unpleasant sit
uat on, not being able to get across
the river, by rc ason of my having no
thing but paper money about me.—
Now Charon has lately been so often
taken in with counterfeit notes of
banks that pay, and genuine notes of
banks that do not p iy. that he. has
sworn the irrevokable oath, by Styx,
not to ferry another soul across the
river without being paid cash in hand,
in consequence of this untoward re
solution, several very rich men, and
famous bank directors, rtmiain here
in the like predicament wish myself
But, fur all Charon’s caution, he wss
taken in the other day by the ghost
of a tin pedlar from theeastwaid, who
palmed a pewter dollar upon him.—
Neither ought I to omit informing
you that the bank directors I just
mentioned, as being detained on this
side the river have borrowed the hint
of your plan, and established a bank,
with a capital of one hundred millions
of paper dollars, the notes of which
are at present in great demand among
the confectioners, who wrap up
Christmas gifts with them.
Among thersthat I met here, were
-evenil lottery office keepers, money
brokers and speculators, who were
generally found in company with the
bank directors. The lottery office
men seemed rather in a bad plight
having no other garments than the
great bills they stick up on the lamp
posts ainongyou, covered with migh
ty rows of figures such as you used
to marshal against me.
The bank direstors were busly
employed in making promises that
th y never performed, or in going
about nicking up old rags, which they
offered to the new comers as money,
swearing all the time they were as
good as the bank. Some of the more
simple ghosts from the back country,
were persuaded in this manner to
exchange their specie for paper; nor
were they aware of their folly, till
Charon netted them on the head with
liiis mmortal paddle, and civilly told
them to go and get their eye-teeth
cut.
The spectators were some amusing
themselves with blowing soap bub
bles, while others mignt be seen buy
ing and selling castles in the air.
But the poor money brokers had the
worst of it, being adjudged to lend
their imoney without interest. It
made me laugh to see the diabolical
face these sinners made in counting
it: out.
Several other things I saw here
worthy of note, but which I shall not
trouble you with just now. I will,
however, just mention a worihy per
son who, while on earth, was always
projecting some scheme other for
making a good thing better by the
agency of a bank or a lottery. Be
fore he had been here four and twen
ty hours he made an arrangement
with the 100,000,060 Bank, to ad
> anre the money to build a bridge
over the Styx. Charon as well he
night, for you know it would have
■ oinr • his ferry, hereupon complam
sd to Pli to, who forthwith consigned
die projector to the limbo of vanity,
•° odd place, of which I wish I had
time to tell you what I have heard.
In this place I understand he is whol
» encaged upon a plan for improv
ing cities, by making mud holes, in
which praise worthy undertaking he
is assisted by a person lately employ
ed by our corporation with such as
tonishing success. 1 send you tnis
my last friendly remembrance by one
Papirius Peso, a famous Venetian,
first projector of the Bank of Venice,
the mother of the whole brood The
criiics, of whom there are upwards
of sia thousand that can’t pay their
ferriage across the river, affirm that
»e assisted Lord Byron in writing
Don Joan, which is considered here a
diabolical poem of the first order.—
But. this I took upon as a palpable
anachronism. Ever since Papirips
came here, he has been busily em
ploved in picking up oyster shells to
make into wampum, and has lately
got leave to return to the world, by
persuading Pluto that he can make
both their fortunes by purchasing
Citv Lots, and paying for them in
this “ new circulating medium.”—
JFor my part I like his plan, for con
considering the phlegmatick nature
of the oyster, I don’t conceive there
is much danger of this kind of money
takingto itself wings and flyingaway,
as you affirm gold and stiver does.
Adieu, forever.
PARVUS HOMO.
P- S.—l forgot to state in apology
for the seeming affectation of dating
my letter according to the Old Style,
that Pluto has forbid the New Style,
cansidering it as one of those pesii
lent novelties connected with pro
gress of knowledge and freedom,
which he conceives to be the primary
causes of the present precarious slate
of monarchs and monarchies, They
carry this abhorrence of every thing
new so far, that Judge Minos the
other day condemned a man to Tar
tarus, for pleading that, though I e
lived a wicked life several years, he
afterwards turned over a new leaf
and reformed. You need not answer
this letter through the public papers,
as it will never come to h <nd. His
Imperial Majesty King Pluto of the
Iron Crown, who is suspected of be
ing a member of the Holy Alliance,
will not permit any newspaper ex
cept the London Courier, to enter
his dominions, ever since his throne
was well nigh overturned by a little
rascally republican Printer’s Devil.

IN SENATE—Friday, Feb 16.
Mr Robert!, of Pennsylvania, agreeably
to the notice which we gave yesterday,
asked leave to introduce a res' lulion to
admit the state of Missouri into the Union
on an equal footing with the original
States
vfi Van Dyke, of Delaware, said he hop
ed the geiitlcix.cn would not understand
him, in making the tim ioi which he was
about to make, as offering any iisr.-spect.
towards him or hta proposition ; but, Mr.
Van Dyke said, be should consider it un
fortunate for the Senate now to take any
step in this business. The Senate ought
to recollect the course this subject has la
ken ; they had at an early period sent to
the other house a resolution for the aclmis
sion of the state into the Union, contain,
ing a proviso which it was hoped would
obviate all objection to it That resolu
tion, however, had been reject d by the
House of Repr'sentatives. They have in
formed us, by message, of its rejection,
without any indication of what would bt
acceptable ro them ; and that message is
scarcely cold before we have a propos'-
lion to bring forward another resolu ion.
lie thought the Senate had better not stir
in the subject again so soon ; but that it
would be more expedient to wait a while
*t (east, and see what the other house
should do, if it did any thing He had
no objection to make another effort to get
the state admitted, but to make it so soon
after the fate of the first proposition bad
been announced from the other house,
would be premature, he thought, ar d un
wise. If the Senate had not moved first
in this business, but had now its resolution
to send to the other House as an original
proposition, he thought it highly probable
it would prevail there. With the in
tentions, that resolution had been sent
there; it had been rejected ; and the Se
nate was as yet ignorant of (he form of
admission which would be acceptable to
that body. He hoped the Senate would
keep back, a little longer at least, any new
proposition; and therefore moved) that
the motion to grant the leave asked for, be
postponed until Monday next.
Mr. Roberta was of opinion t hat the Sen
ate might, without the slightest depar
ture from propriety or dignity, receive the
resolution ; and then he should have no
objection to laying it on the table for some
days—it would then be before the Senate,
and gentlemen could give it due reflec
tion. Mr. 11. said he offered this resolu
tion from a strong and serious conviction
of duty; and, as the session was near its
end, he trusted that the Senate would not
allow any punctillio to interfere with an
object so important. He was one who
had been unable to vote for the former
resolution which passed the Senate; that
having failed in the other branch, he now
offered such a one as he could support, —
He earnestly desired the admission of ike
state into the Union; it was an object all
important to the nation and to its public
councils, and he hoped the Senate would
so far indulge him at least as to entenam
his proposition, and then, if it saw fit, lay it
by for future decision.
Mr fVallcer, of Georgia, viewed this pro
position as a kind of peace offering on the
part of those gentle men of the Senate
who had opposed the former resolution :
He was extremely anxious that the ques
tion should be settled, and that nothing
should be left undone to effect a settle
ment of it; he therefore acknowledged
himself much obliged to the gentleman
from Pennsylvania for bringing this propo
sition forward. Whatever may be the de
cisions of the other branch, said Mr. W.
let us do all we can to preserve the peace
and harmony in the union. He hoped no
point of etiquette would interfere with
the motion, but that the leave would be
granted; that the proposition would be
ultimately adopted, and the tranquility of
ihe nation be restored by the admission
of the state without more delay.
