It is a curious fad that the Naives of Owhyhee,
where Captain Coon 101 l his life, have, fine the era
of the well known voyage of Captain Vaacnyvaa,
made alionithing advances to dextetity and (kill in
nor molt ufeful European arts. Tama-hama, the
King, is another Peter the Great. Captain VAll•
COUVIR laid down the keel of his brit velicl in 1792.
He is now mailer of more than twenty ludas, tome
even copper bottomed, of different fixes, from
twenty,five to fifty tons. He encourages Europeans
to fettle in the Magid, provided they be inelpflreous,
and acquainted with the Alts which may be of ore to
him. He has a company of body guards, whom he
makes to imitate the European difcipline. He has
a palace, built in the (Asian of Europe, of brick,
with OA windows. His fubjeas have learned to
make trading voya es, as far as the North-Well
coati of America. lie has accumulated larger Pores
of tire arms, gun powder, hardware, and cloth of
different foils than he has occafion to confume.
And, it is a truth, however furprifing it may appear,
that he and his fubjefts already meditate the defign
of a trade with China, to be carried on in rails of
their own coati:llBkm, navigated by their own peo-
ple. The population of Owhyhee and the other
Sandwich Ines has inereafed conliderably, Smithey
were SA difeovered. On the contrary, that of Ota-
heite has, in between thirty and forty years, been
diminitbed by difolutenefs, idlenefs, child murder,
