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, iioun.ling wi'li ; s!and.s, and arrived- at \- itc.lia, in 'lie oeninsula of Kamtsch-pkn. kmico. thev sailed on the 1st. f Ontn- er 1 “87, to explore the islandsofJapan, ife ie s'rdt wide!) separates them A-.-mi Asia. ii (be 0th of Dec., a par'v landed on no of die Islands, and were violently at trike 1 by a party of the natives, and fSp- ih) Langle, who commanded the party in on, was niassacreed with eleven ofhis ion, and'a. great number of others were 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. * [Richmond Whig.

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 following are the Drawn j .

SARAH J. MPERS, Exe'x. WM. B OLIVER, Ex'r June 4 9 tf 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 * • - •- n FOR NEW YORK.
