• Front the V. 7 u rl Comm. AJvu 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 lem, for Dr. Mitchell. It is highly inte (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. “ I fear it will not be in my power, Dear Sir, to give you very correift infor matiow. as to the points of your enquiry.

They conic from Kamihatka, and ti.cir rrogrefs is to the South, where 1 hr ■ no doubt they will prove trouble tome, eithei to the Spaniards, or to our fcivts, it we should ever take polfefiion of that part of the coast (and vve can pio-.iucc,better titles to the country than any European nation whatever.) al - /u b ’u lam not now able to point out the places where they have made eftablifh itt ;s, yet I have been informed, and I thick cirreSly, that fcvcral Ruffian tra il,-r* from Kamihatka have fixed their,- selves at Queen Charlotte’s Island, and in tliat. neighbourhood, where they carry on an advantageous commerce with the Indians. They remain over winter, and cci V.t large quantities of Sea Otter and n* her (kins, which are delivered to Rus han veflcls that regularly visit the coail from St. Peters and other places on the ea 1 erri parts of Katolhatka. Thcfc veff.-ls make fuquent voyages, and fupplv their traders with such articles as will fell to advantage among the natives. lam not 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 the Columbia in Canton, on her re/ern, w/h a cargo of sea o//tr fit in?, which were iidvaii/ageoully dlfpofed of in that mar kc/. Ttie Mary Walhing/on afterwaids came to China, and made frequent voya ges back to /he coast, bu/ I believe never return rti to /he Uni/ed State s. Cap/ain Kendrick having fen/ /lie Columbia l me. under charge cf cap/. Gray, re trained in /be sloop, and finally 101 l hie life or. /he coast, in fdu/ing ano/hcr vdfol. 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 vtffelr, principally from Maflachufetts, t 6 agcd in this trade. I have only refer* led to their voyages, particularly to capt. JvM with a view of (hewing you that the Americans have as good, n i ot better claims to the country than the Ruffians can pr.fliblv have. 1 wifn a col ltdtion could be made of ali thtir voyages; the li.fo ruation to be derivtd from tfom would certainly be interciting, and per haps important, in cftablifniug our title to the country embraced within the lim its cf their difeoveries. Captain Metcalf vas'a v<.-ry com ot navigator, and had i : :dc valuable charts and drawings of the c alt anci harboti'S which he entered, but i prdume they were loft with him “’He firtt navigators are chiefly dead, and u doubtful whether their journals were preferred. Captain Hendrick’s is (aid to have fallen into the hands of Mr. Howcl, who, it is understood, died in Manilla, where it is probable they were 1 It.

I dr> not recoil?A a finale veflet ever having performed a voyage from Sa'emtothe Western coast of America. Our merchants having generally been engaged in other enterprises, particularly to the F.aft Indies hy the way of the Cape of Good Hope, few or none from o’ur port, within my knowledge, have dif patcheduny vefTel round Cape Horn, upon voyages for sea otter (kills, which are on'y procured in high northern latitudes, on ti e well u.le of this continent. The eaftertl extremity of Alia is so tierr the Western part of North America that the Ruffians have easy and frequent communica tion with it. I have not the least and uht lit that the have views of taking poflefllon of me wia.lv. coast, from the n irthetn extremity of the continent (as far as the sea is navigable) to the Span iih fetilements to the Southward; r:dl am of opini on the late R ifßan voyage of di leaver/ is connefled with the general fyllem of extending their lettlements in that quarter of onr continent. The Ruffians, for the firlt thne I think, are now pialling Cape Horn, andtheir ships are deltined to Kamihatka, U We N.

They collect tli; f;:|s of the fe.a otter and other animals which rli4- carry to Kamfliatka, and by that route the^reach Europe and China by land, but 1 havs heard of no Rulfian vslfcl making a voyage from the coast direct to China; nor do 1 think that any Ruffians have as yet un dertaken an/ commercial voyage from the eailern fhotes of Aiia to China ; except in deed they may have passed into tome of the ports on the northern and caftern coafls of that country, which are not frequented by our naviga'ors. The European and Ameri can traders are only allowed to viiit Canton. If the Rli Tun government intends to make permanent settlements on tiie American coaftsand extend them fonthward, there can |be little doubt that they may interfere with i onr claim to the western part of Louisiana, I provided we lecure a title tqthat territery as .. ras the great wellern oceah.

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 light upon this turious subj ct. How far ihcfc enterpnfing travellers will alfift hs in extending the )ur trade of the interior, ivas the second branch of this difcidfiori which we propofe.d to in vs(ti|-ate ; but it is unnecqllary and per. haps improper at present to go into it at any ien/th. fjuch a* feel anxious to an. icipate the progrert of events would do ■well to refer to the pr/iiminaiy manorial vid coi./loding rcflccVms in M’K.enzie’s >-avtU on the fur tract for feverai inte resting v.jwaof this Übject. ißifhd.

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 lent, audio fuhjeftiou to their maftem. 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 the tumult of cities, he passes into the country. There beholds every man hufy; he contemplates marriage reward ed by a numerous oflspring, and plenty crowning the plain bua dos the plough, man. He liitens to their artless tale.— He hears no mumurs of difeontent at their* lot, or acrimonious accusations againfl. the government.
