The following account o£ the Ruffian
end Massachusetts enterprize, along the
’ weft co?ft of North America, was drawn
‘-up by Jacob CronvninfliUld, Esqr . of Sa

(refting, and has a near connexion with
tthe perfeve-ing attempt, making by cap
tains Lewis and Clark, to penetrate by
land to the pacific ocean.

on an advantageous commerce with the

pofuive that I have heard of the Ruffians
making permanent fcitlenients, but I am
five-that the Americans have frequently
m-”t the’r traders on different parts of the
co ft, to the north of Nootka Sound.
It is said they mix freely with die natives,
learn their language, and endeavor to
conciliate them by every means in their
power i and I was once informed by a
gentleman who had been on the coast,
1 riat liiey possessed a very coniiderable
influence over the northern tribes ; audit
was his opinion, as it is mine, that the
Ruffian government contemplates ma
king encroachments to the Southward,
vntii they (hail be Hopped by the Span
iards. The American traders were
affurediy on the coast beiore the
Ruffians, except, indeed, that a Russian
ve lU or two might have visited that part
ot the coast immediately oppofitc the
buftern extremity of Asia, a few years he
ft rt. It is aim oft twenty years since
the (hip Columbia, Captain Kendrick,
and iht (loop Mary Washington, capt.
Gray, were dispatched fiom Boston to
the N. W. coast of America ; they made
importantdifeoveries, and took possession
of a coi.fi.iei able trait of country, and
captain Kendrick actually received dr ds
of a large part from iomc of the princi
pal chiefs. The river Columbia, if lam
rot millaken, receives its name from the
Holton ship I have mentioned. I law

I was acquainted with captain Met
calf, ot New York, who commanded the
the brig Llcnora : he was tarty on the
coast, and told me he had taken pefl'es
kon m behalf of the United States. Cap.
tain Metcalf was either cut off by the
r. stives, or loft on the coast, on bis second
trip, after he had visited the Isle of
France. Captain Roberts and others,
from Boston, soon followed captain Ken
itnck, Since there voyages were made
(and they were the firlt undertaken
from this country) the Americans have
tarried on a constant trade to the coast,
where they coh-dt Otter fkius, and ear
ly. them to China, and lor ten or fifteen
y-- rs there have been from five to ten

that the Americans have as good, n

Ruffians can pr.fliblv have. 1 wifn a col

In laving down the crmmercial con
neeftion which may hereafter ftibfift be
tween the eailern and the vefteru oceans,
or the fliorteft route which the Ameri
can travellers may at the present time
be pursuing towa.-ds the weft; it is
proper to bring before our readers fomc
of the difficulties of such a trade and
luch a tour when tarried on through
the Missouri and .he Columbia rivers.
In what part of tbe rocky mountains or
what degree of latinde each of those
rivers takes its rife; has never yet been
determined by travelers, nor is it indeed
very material to tie present explana
tion. It is fufficiett that we recoiled!
the account of M’lvmzie, drawn partly
from his own obfcriation, and partly
from the representation of the natives,
that the Columbia rivet runs nearly south
throughout its whole coitrfe, and is
therefore nearly pareliel with the ocean ;
and that Vancouver placet its mouth
in the 46th degree oflat. With res
peift to the Missouri, it is enough for
us to recollect that according to capt.
Clark, fort Mandin is in the 47th degree
of l?.t. and that the river beyoud its
fall changes its course andboldiy verges
towards the south. Putting these fads
together, it is not altogether improba
bie that the mouth of the Columbia and
the head of the Missouri are nearly in
the lame degree of !at. and that the
dillante of the Missouri to the nearest
navigable point on the Columbia is
scarcely less than the distance to it3
mouth or to the ocean. Should this
idea therefore be ccrred, the main
branch of the Columbia cannot afford
to the trader or traveller, whose route
is from the Missouri to the ocean, all
that facility of communication which he
might have expeded. It is possible that
such a conuedion may be formed by
fome of the smaller branches of the ri
ver, which rife in the rocky ridge, much
nearer to the head waters of the Miffou
ri; but the cxiftcn/e and the extent of
such flreams are as yet merely matteis
of (peculation ; M/Kenzic not having
1 dticended the river so low, or Vancou
ver afeended it so high, as to difeover
1 its various branchci
Should no such; branches exist ; and
should all the ilrea/ns, which rife in the
rocky mountains, be like the Columbia,
southerly in their course, and nearly pa
rallel with the ocean, the idea of a com.
munication by watfr between the Mis
souri and the fca, B not therefore to be
abandoned. Thy rocky ridge which
fends off so many rivers towards its nor
thern extremity, is said to extend much
farther to the south than the mouth of
the Columbia Are we to suppose that
nature has been less bountiful to the in
habitants of the south than to those who
live farther to the north ? Are there no
rivers emptying into the sea between
the mouth of the Columbia and the Pch
infula of California, which have their
origin in this rocky ridge more conti
guous and convenient tc the head water:
of the Miifouri than to he nearest point!
on the Columbia l Bit ideas of thi:
kind, tho’ not unworthy of a modeftcon
fideration, are (till to be ranked among
the dreams and fpecubtions; therefore,
we mult have recourse, if we would de
termine the existence aid extent of any
such communication. No one has more
compleatly examined the coasts of the
Pacific in these latitudes than Vancou
ver, and to the voyages of Vancouver
we mud therefore refer for the belt infor
mation which is t be found on this
fuhjeA.
This corrcft ntvigator traversed the
whose coast from the mouth of tbe Co
lumbia south to the million of St. Do
mingo “ the fouthermoft of the Spanish
settlements in Nev-Albion,” in the 30th
degree of latitude. Throughout this
whole space, there was not any inlet of
tbe sea or aft ream of frefli water from
the land, the bearing and extent of which
he did not attempt to explore. The
result of thele observations is already be
fore the public. In this whole (lipe of
coast, he difcovercd but a Angle river
I which was wide and deep enough at its
j outlet to deserve his notice, or to pi-
I mife an extenfivc inlet inU the inner
country, and even this river is not spoken
|of in the molt favouiable terms. He
mentions it as a rivulet emptying into a
: bay in latitude 34* 57, longitude i 39*
j 431-2. “ This appeared to be the
1 larged flow of water into the ocean we
I had yet seen, excepting that of Colum
j bin river ; but the breakers that exten
j ded across its entrance, teemed to pre
clude the possibility of its being naviga
-1 bie even for boats. In the iSpamfn
Ichart3it is called Rio de St. Balaido,”
> vol. 2. 447. Whether this river rife*
in the rocky mountains near to the head
waters of the Miflouri ; whether there
a.e any other river* emptying into the
(ca which the fogginefl of the weather
prevented Vancouver from observing, or
whether the Columbia river is thill to be
confiiered a. the only means of com
munication between the Mississippi and
the sea remains for future travellers to
determine. No doubt the tour of Mjffr*.
Clark and Lewis, will sh- and additional

this lettas of introduiftion generally
firing him, in the firfl inllince, to the ac.
quaintance of the votaiies of fafhion,
who inhabit out large towns. In their
circles he hears the language of difeon
tent and diffatisfaftien ; he hears the
government reviled, the principles of
democracy denounced, and those Vvho
maintain them held up to contempt or
reprobation. He peruses the daily vehi
cles of public opinion, and finds them a
faithful echo to the sentiments avowed
in private circles. According to them,
the public affairs are in the hands of
unprincipled men devoid of every spark
of patriotism ; or of men so ignorant as
to be entirely unable to difeharge the
duties of their Rations. He perceives a
torrent of obloquy incessantly flowing
upon them. Their private lives, equally
with their public conduit, are portrayed
in the dark-est colors. Not a measure
is pursued which is not presented as
originating in ignorance or fraud ; and
as calculatad to injure the people, and
disgrace them in the eyes of the world.
The nation is reprelented as the molt
degraded est cr.r.li ; as being nominally
free, hut really et (laved. The people
are (tigmatifed as the dilpes of worthless
demagogues, and the levity with which
they bear their chains is treated with
contumelious scorn Their poiitieri
rights are represented as mere toys, ai
the rattles with which they arc kept si

I heir affemblagcs for political purposes
at cledfions are denominated mobs and
feenes of riot, drunkennefa and quar
relling. They are said to be unable t >
felt'd judicious rulers, and to take
delight in railing to offices of the fir l
diftindion men the mult bankrupt i 1
fortune and character, and the mol
devoid of talent.
The pidure drawn of the state of tl e
country is equally black. The govern
ment is represented as deflitutc of tl e
relped of its own citizens, as defpicabx
in the eyes of the world. Industry is
left to langiiifli, enterprize is chilled,
wealth is afraid to embark on an ocean fj
fraught with dangers !
‘i lie firft imprcfTiiiu of our flranger, on
hearing this motonous tale, is aftouifhtnetit
at the misrepresentation he had previously
labored under. On the other (ide of
the ocean he had been told that Ameri
ca was free and Vppy. He now hears
(he is enfl ived artd iniferable ! Accus
tooted, however, to distrust firft impref*
(ions, he hesitates hsltily to confide in
what he hears. He looks around him,
and at the very moment he hears this
language of difeontent aqd difpondency,
he behold* a wanton display of wealth in
the rich furniture, the dazxling equip
page, an 1 the sumptuous repasts of the
mnft ditTitiafied. He enquire* to what
jreat faniily they belong, and to whom
they arc indebted for the fplcnder of
their establish nent, and for every external
hlelfing that ought to render man con
tented with his lot. He is informed
that they owe it to themselves / that
they arc for the moft part the native in
habitants of other countries, who came to
the United States a few years since either
totally destitute, or poffelfed of little
property, ; that availing themselves of
the wide and open field that lay before
them they have maffcdjprincely fortunes,
and assumed a rank in focicty that enables
them to look dowu on the surrounding
world composed of those who were once
their equals.
T he aftonifhinent of the traveller tiles
at this information. That they who ri
ot in enjoyment, which ages toil could
not have furniftied them in the old world,
should be the moft clamorous and discon
tented, he can only account for from a
knowledge of the unbounded ambition
of the human heart, which, never iatiated
only makes one attainment the (lapping
(tone to another.
Leaving the circle*gaf fafhion, and
