The following account of the Russian and Massachusetts enterprise, along the West coast of North America, was drawn up by Jacob Crowningfield, esq. of Salem, for Dr. Mitchell. It is highly interesting, and has a near connection with the persevering attempt, making by captains 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 correct information, as to the points of your enquiry. You ask whether I am in possession of any facts, relative to the settlement or migration of the Kamhatkadales, or subjects of Russia, by land or sea; along the North Western coast of America." I am in possession of no facts except from the information of others, but I believe it is certain that the Russians for eight or ten years past, have been on the coast, and that they are extending their settlements, if they may be called such, to the southward. They come from Kamhatka, and their progress is to the south, where I have no doubt they will prove troublesome, either to the Spaniards or to ourselves, if we should ever take possession of that part of the coast, and we can produce better titles to the country than any European nation whatever. Altho' I am not now able to point out the places where they have made establishments, yet I have been informed and I think correctly, that several Russian traders from Kamhatka, have fixed themselves, at Queen Charlotte's Islands, and in that neighborhood, where they carry on an advantageous trade with the Indians. They remain over winter, and collect large quantities of Sea Otter and other skins, which are delivered to Russian vessels, that regularly visit the coast from St. Peters, and other places on the eastern parts of Kamhatka. These vessels make frequent voyages, and supply their traders with such articles as will sell to advantage, among the natives. I am not positive that I have heard of the Russians making permanent settlements, but I am sure that the Americans have frequently met their traders on different parts of the coast, to the North of Nootka Sound.
It is said that they mix freely with the natives, learn their language and endeavor to conciliate them by every means in their power; and I was once informed by a gentleman who had been on the coast, that they possessed a very considerable influence over the Northern tribes; and it was his opinion as it is mine, that the Russian government contemplates making encroachments to the southward, until they should be stopped by the Spaniards. The American traders were assuredly on the coast before the Russians, except, indeed, that a Russian vessel or two might have visited that part of the coast immediately opposite the eastern extremity of Asia, a few years before. It is almost twenty years since the ship Columbia, captain Kendrick, and the sloop Mary Washington, captain Gray, were dispatched from Boston to the N. W. coast of America: they made important discoveries and took possession of a considerable tract of country, and captain Kendrick actually received deeds of a large part from some of the principal chiefs. The river Columbia if I am not mistaken receives its name from the Boston ship I have mentioned.
I saw the Columbia in Canton, on her return, with a cargo of Sea Otter skins, which were advantageously disposed of at that market, the Mary Washington, afterwards, came to China, and made frequent voyages back to the coast—but I believe never returned to the United States. Captain Kendrick having sent the Columbia home, under charge of captain Gray, remained in the
sloop and finally lost his life on the coast, in saluting another vessel. I was acquainted with captain Metcalf, of New York, who commanded the brig Elenora; he was early on the coast and told me he had taken possession in behalf of the United States. Captain Metcalf was either cut off by the natives or lost on the coast, on his second trip, after he had visited the isle of France. Captain Roberts and others from Boston, soon followed captain Kendrick.
Since these voyages were made (and they were the first undertaken from this country) the Americans have carried on a constant trade to the coast, where they collect Otter skins and carry them to China, and for ten or fifteen years there may have been from five to ten vessels, principally from Massachusetts, engaged in this trade. I have only referred to captain Kendrick, with a view of shewing you that the Americans have as good, if not better claims to the country, than the Russians can possibly have. I wish a collection could be made of all their voyages; the information to be derived from them would certainly be interesting, and perhaps important, in establishing our title to the country embraced within the limits of their discoveries. Captain Metcalf was a very correct navigator, and had made valuable charts and drawings of the coast and harbors which he had entered, but I presume they were lost with him. The first navigators are chiefly dead, and it is doubtful whether their journals were preserved. Captain Kendrick's is said to have fallen into the hands of a Mr. Howell, who, it is understood, died in Manila, where it is probable they were lost. Captain Ingraham, who sailed under Kendrick in the Columbia, afterwards made a voyage to the north-west coast, and thence to China, and on the passage discovered a small cluster of islands; and I have heard that his journal was presented to Gen. Washington, and it is very probable it may be found among his papers. It is possible that captain Magee's may be preserved by his friends or relations who reside in Boston, and if a copy can at any future time be obtained, you may depend I will not fail to present it to you. I do not recollect a single vessel ever having performed a voyage from Salem to the western coast of America. Our merchants having generally been engaged in other enterprises, particularly to the East-Indies by the way of the Cape of Good Hope, few or none from our port, within my knowledge, have dispatched any vessel round Cape Horn, upon voyages for sea otter skins, which are only procured in high northern latitudes, on the west side of this continent.
The eastern extremity of Asia is so near the western part of North America that the Russians have easy and frequent communication with it. I have not the least doubt but that they have views of taking possession of the whole coast, from the northern extremity of the continent (as far as the sea is navigable) to the Spanish settlements to the southward; and I am of opinion the late Russian voyage of discovery is connected with the general system of extending their settlements in that quarter of our continent. The Russians, for the first time I think, are now passing Cape Horn, and their ships are destined to Kamchatka and the N. West coast of America. We must wait the event, but if I am not very much deceived, you will find their attention principally directed to discoveries and settlements on our western shores.
The extreme point of their southern discoveries I cannot ascertain. They collect the skins of the sea otter and other animals which they carry to Kamchatka, and by that route they reach Europe and China by land, but
I have heard of no Russian vessels making a voyage from the Coast direct to China; nor do I think that any Russians have as yet undertaken any commercial voyage from the eastern shores of Asia or China, except indeed they may have passed into some of the ports on the northern and eastern coast of that country, which are not frequented by our navigators. The European and American traders are only allowed to visit Canton. If the Russian Government intends to make permanent settlements on the American coast and extend them southward, there can be little doubt that they may interfere with our claim to the western part of Louisiana, provided we secure a title to that territory as far as the great western ocean.
NASSAU, (N. P.) July 5. Arrived, Spanish brig Nelo, formerly the Nelly, pf New York, purchased there about ten month ago. She was proceeding from the Matanzas to the Havanna, when the Mayflower, capt. George Johnson fell in with and captured her. She is a fine new brig, but has nothing on board but eight puncheons of aguardente (rum.) The captain of the Nelo, Don Antonio Fernandez Pino, a passenger named Jeronemo Pachez, and the mate, speak much in favor of the handsome treatment they received from the prize master, captain John H. Kelly.
Twelve days ago when the brig sailed, the Mayflower was left in chase of a ship.
On Monday last captain Kelly discovered a vessel on shore at Little Bahama—sent the boat to her, found her to be a Schooner; foremast cut away, mainmast through her bottom, and sails on deck; had dry goods and flour on board, and Perseverance of Baltimore on her stern. Nothing was taken out of her by the people of the brig. From the place where she was cast away, the crew was supposed to have been saved.
BOSTON, July 27. From the West-Indies.
Mr. Thayer, just arrived from the West-Indies, informs, that he left Guadalupe the 2d inst. (the latest arrival from that quarter) at which time none of the English prizes reported to have been taken by the combined fleet and sold, have arrived there or at Martinico: Nor had any correct accounts of their having been burnt reached that island. Some of the officers and crews of the vessels taken had arrived at Guadalupe; and they reported, that the vessels captured, fifteen in number, had been sent off under convoy of two frigates. The non-arrival of these prizes at Guadalupe, was generally attributed to their having been fallen in with by lord Nelson, and recaptured.
Mr. T. was informed by one of the French officers, that when they left France, they supposed their destination was the East-Indies; they had on board passengers for that quarter of the globe.
The troops which embarked at Guadalupe were all reloaded before the combined fleet quitted the West Indies.
The force of the combined fleet has been accurately stated. It was composed of 21 sail of the line, 6 of them Spanish. They were mostly very fast sailing vessels. The Charleston account of the arrival of a third fleet from France, at Martinico, is wholly unfounded.
Captain Williams from Guadalupe mentions the general report in the West-Indies that the French fleet, when in the West-India latitudes had only three days start of lord Nelson. His opinion, however, is, that the French can out sail the English.
One of the American prizes captured by a Guadalupean picaroon, was lately sent in with the United States
Union reversed. The Americans bitterly resented the indignity; and the corsairs were speedily struck and not in a proper manner.

PHILADELPHIA, August 2.
The letters, which have been lately received from the Mediterranean, are at once calculated to excite the most heart felt sympathy for our captive fellow citizens, and to rouse a spirit of indignation at the extreme cruelty, and long continuance, of their sufferings.
Who can read the following extract from one of the letters, and they are all of the same afflicting tenor, without execrating the monsters who inflict, or deeply reproaching the government that can remain indifferent to such wrongs?
Extract of a letter from an American Prisoner at Tripoli.
"Our days drag heavily on, we are still closely confined, not having enjoyed a sight of the heavens (but once) excepting through a small grated hole in the terrace, since May last. We are secluded in a loathsome prison, surrounded by vermin, without the enjoyment of pure air, and debared from holding converse with any person outside the walls of our prison. The policy of concealing the operations of the fleet from the enemy, cuts off the intercourse with our countrymen, and keeps us in ignorance and constant suspense. The letter from our friends in America are intercepted, opened and sometimes never reach us. After spending a tedious day, sleep, the solace of the wretched, comes to ease the burden of our minds, and sometimes transports us by a visionary flight to our beloved friends, but the return of light awakens us to the dreary realities of our prison. Even Hope has now almost deserted us, and though we struggle to support with fortitude the horrors of our situation, yet human nature is scarcely equal to the conflict."
Here we perceive that even Hope, the last resource of the wretched, has almost deserted these devoted men. Nor can we wonder at their despondence. The term of their misfortunes has been protracted beyond the endurance of human fortitude.
Was it to have been expected, under any system of political economy, which a wretched, timeserving administration might have found it necessary to practise, that upwards of 300

of our best and bravest citizens, whom the fortune of war, while executing the orders of the government, had doomed to captivity among merciless barbarians, should have been suffered, for years, to languish in the prisons of a cruel and relentless enemy. Is there another government on earth, with the means of liberation in its power, that would have withheld the ransom. Is there a nation besides our own that would not have compelled its payment.
The money has been contributed—why it has not been so applied as to effect the interesting object for which it was granted, it is the duty of the executive to explain.
An additional impost which to save Mr. Gallatin the trouble of either calculation or discrimination, was laid in a round sum of two and an half per cent on merchandise imported into the United States, was procured under the guillemot title of "the Mediterranean fund." This impost has already yielded a revenue more than ten times sufficient to have ransomed every American prisoner, and with proper application, to have maintained a competent force to protect our commerce in the Mediterranean Sea.
What has been done? Has a single seaman been liberated? Or is there a nearer prospect of their release than there was on the day when they were captured.
Have the gallant exertions of their brethren before Tripoli (and more heroism was never displayed by an equal number of men) produced a single advantage to our suffering sailors. On the contrary, failing to effect our purpose by honorable warfare, is there not a scheme of hostility now adopted against the reigning Bashaw, which threatens a fatal termination to their aggravated wrongs? Such a plan of operations may be in very natural conformity to the views and talents of our warlike cabinet, it is however but little calculated to impress respect, or to insure success.
The subsidy to Mr. Eaton's troop of four thousand Turks, or as some accounts have it, twenty thousand Arabs, may absorb the fund which was destined to relieve our prisoners and protect our commerce, and their approach may irritate to madness the merciless Barbarian, on whose will the lives of our unfortunate fellow citizens are suspended—But that the expedition of this Banditti (apart from its principles) should have any other than an expensive, disgraceful, and ruinous termination to the American interest & name, none but an arrant knave or an idle enthusiast would ever inculcate or believe.
To whom then are the wretched captives to look for relief? A fallacious economy withholds their ransom—the braveries of their comrades acting with incompetent force, is ineffectually exerted to compel their release.
The general voice of the nation, prompted by the generous interference of sympathising friends, should speak a language of remonstrance, which can never be misunderstood nor disobeyed. Their ransom has been contributed by the nation, the nation should insist on its being immediately applied to the object, for which it was granted.
After the attempt which was formerly made by an authorised agent of the government to negotiate the ransom of the prisoners, and which only failed from a refusal to give fifty thousand dollars more than was offered, all objections on the part of the administration, to the policy of the measure must be at an end.

TUESDAY, August 6.
A commercial friend at Baltimore translated the following article from a Hamburg paper of the 11th May, and politely handed it to the editor there for publication.
The Danish government has notified to the American consul at Hamburg, that all vessels coming for Toowingen from Norfolk, Philadelphia, Wilmington, and Savannah, shall be strictly examined; and if from Charleston, they shall be obliged to perform a rigorous quarantine—but those coming from any other port in the U. States, will be permitted an immediate entry, being provided with a clear bill of health.
WASHINGTON, July 31.
A treaty has been concluded in the state of Ohio with several Indian tribes, by which 1,200,000 acres have been ceded to the United States for an annuity of 826 dollars. [ National Intelligencer .]
The principal of this annuity would have gone far to redeem our captive seamen—But Mr. Jefferson would no more give one acre of land, than he would "one landsman for two seamen."
The power of the south must be increased—while the pride and strength of the eastern and middle states are left to perish in captivity. Phil. Reg.
It is whispered that notes, in a style unusually animated, have passed between the secretary of state and Mr. Yrujo.
From the CONNECTICUT COURANT. The sameness of jacobin principles and practices, in France, and in the United States.
Part 2. In the former part of this discussion, a short sketch was given of the principles and operations of the jacobins in Paris. We proceed now to view their establishment and operations in this country.
Genet, who was sent hither as the great apostle of faction and sedition, had the honor of introducing democratic societies in America; whereof the jacobin societies in France were the prototype. This French vine was first planted in Philadelphia, and the nature and quality of the grapes of its early growth, may be seen in the following extracts from an address of the German democratic society in Philadelphia, to the people of the United States, dated December 3, 1794; and signed, Henry Kamerer, President.
"All governments (said that society which grew from the spawn of the French jacobins) are more or less combinations against the people; they are states of violence against individual liberty."
Again, "The power of government can only be kept within its constituted limits by the display of a power equal to itself, the collected sentiments of the people."
Again, "The checks and balances of government are inventions to keep the people in subordination, a reaction of some sort is necessary, therefore, to keep up the equipoise between the people and the government."
Now let it be observed that this democratic society published these sentiments in the first term of Washington's presidency. He had been invested with that high office by the unanimous suffrages of the people: Yet we find here a number of men whom the people knew not as their agents, organised in a social body for the express purpose of controuling him and his associates, in the exercise of their legitimate authorities. And let the reader pause, and examine the political sentiments which this democratic society
avowed; and which are to be considered as some of the first fruits of French democracy in this country. This democratic creed contains, in substance, the following articles:
1. That the constituted rulers of a free people are necessarily and always in a state of hostility against the people who had elected them, and against the personal liberty of each individual.
2. That there must be a constant display of a power, equal to the power of the government which the people have organised, in order to keep the latter within its constituted limits.
3. That the power organised against government must thwart and controul its measures by a constant and effective reaction.
4. That the men possessing this controuling or reacting power, must embody in themselves "the collective sentiment of the people." That is, they must be a self-created junto who profess to act for and in behalf of the people, or rather call themselves the people.
There surely never was an engine better calculated than this, to subvert all free governments; and to plunge the people, thro' anarchy, into despotism. Tho' the democratic societies, planted by Genet, are seemingly withered as to their branches, their roots remain entire: their principles are even now in powerful operation in this country, as we shall endeavor to shew in our next.

DRUGGIST; The following Valuable Medicines: Dr. Rawson's Anti-Bilious and Stomachal Bitters. PREPARED BY THOMAS H. RAWSON, Member of the Connecticut Medical Society.
THESE Bitters have undoubtedly had the most rapid sale of any Patent Medicine ever before discovered, and are justly appreciated for their singular and uncommon virtues for restoring weak and decayed constitutions, and all that train of complicated complaints so common in the spring and fall seasons, such as intermittent Fevers and Agues, long Autumnal Fevers, Dysenteries, &c. They are also a very pleasant bitter for common use, and where they are known they have taken the place and superceded the use of all other bitters in public houses as well as in private families.—Price 50 cents a box.
Dr. Lee's (Windham) Bilious Pills. THE great sale and increasing demand for these valuable pills for these twelve years past, bespeak their intrinsic worth. They have proved singularly efficacious in Bilious and Yellow fevers, Jaundice, Head Aches, Dysenteries, Bilious Cholic, Costiveness, Female complaints, &c.
The very great demand and high esteem in which these pills are held throughout the United States and the West Indies, has induced many to counterfeit them; the purchaser is requested to observe that the name of Samuel Lee, jun. (the patentee) is affixed to each bill of directions, in his own hand writing, or they will not be genuine. Price 50 cents a box.
Dr. Rawson's Itch Ointment. A certain and safe application for that disagreeable complaint called the ITCH. Price 42 cents a box.

The extraordinary celebrity these pills have gained, the universal demand for them and esteem in which they are held by medical men of the first eminence, are sufficient testimonials of their intrinsic worth. In great colics and sudden attacks of disorders, an early use of these pills often produces the happiest effects, and takes once in eight or ten days in cases of indigestion, headache, dizziness, pains in the stomach and bowels, dysenteries, diarrhoeas, dropsies, &c. and a liberal use of my anti bilious bitters in the intermediate time has relieved patients almost to a miracle.—price 25 cents a box.

Highway Robbery!
1500 Dollars Reward. YESTERDAY, about 11 o'clock in the forenoon, Mr. JOHN PETER, an officer of the Bank of COLUMBIA, was stopped on horseback on the road between this town and Alexandria, and within about two miles of the latter place, by some unknown villain, shot through the body with a pistol, and robbed of a sum of money in his possession belonging to the Institution, which he was taking to Alexandria, for the purpose of exchanging with the Bank there.
The whole sum taken amounted to Eighteen Thousand One Hundred and Fourteen Dollars and Sixty-five Cents, made up in packages—among which were 1 Post Note of the Bank of Virginia, for 800 dollars 1 ditto of the Bank of Alexandria for 500 1 ditto of the same for 500 1 ditto of the same for 400 1 ditto of the Bank of Potomac, 149 65 cents. A Check of the Union Bank, on the Bank of Alexandria, drawn by R. Higginbotham, Cashier in favor of Gresham and Deyerau, by them endorsed and by Benjamin Stoddert, and C. Smith, Teller.
There were also a parcel of Post Notes of the Bank of Alexandria for 100 dollars and for 50 dollars each. The remainder was in current notes, principally of the banks of Alexandria and Potomac, and some few of the Bank of Virginia of different sizes and denominations.
As the ATTACK was SUDDEN, and the WOUND received of a nature to deprive Mr. Peter instantly of his senses, (although it is now hoped he will recover) the description obtained may not be very accurate. As far as we are informed, the man who perpetrated the act, is of middle stature, good countenance, and had a gentle appearance. He had on a dark blue or black coat, tankeen pantaloons, stockings, and a black hat; he was on FOOT and ALONE at the time, but may have had accomplices concealed, and will probably change his clothes.
FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS will be given to any person or persons, who will detect and bring to conviction the ROBBER; and ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS additional for the recovery of the whole of the money, or in proportion for any smaller sum recovered. Should there be accomplices, and one of them make a discovery, so that it leads to the conviction of the robber, or to the recovery of the money, he shall receive the ABOVE REWARD, and interest will be made to obtain his PARDON.
