= | herewith have the pleasure of in
forming you Of my safe arrival here, after
passage oil % days. Owing 10 the fear
OF meeting with ice, our captain direeard
MS course as far South as SO degrees,
which prolonged our passage at least 8
days. Although We have seenno ice, we
have several times heard The rolling OF it
distinctly. Other vessels that have NOT
used the same precaption, must have ell

This has been the case with The ship Tho.

J. B.Coa DIS, esq. Of biadensburghs has
added something to the Information We
{ lately gave concerning discoveries and set
elements on the Western Coast Of North
Amcrica.--He wssan officer on board the
same vessel with capt. Kendrick. On the
arrival of capt. Metcalfs at Washington
Island, Mr.. Cords engaged with him as
his second officer and pilot. for the coast.
That was the FIRST port visited by captain
Metcalfe. Mr.. C's Journals, during the
time of his being in the Eieonora, until
his arrival in China, are now in the state
OF Massachusetts. Capt. Metcalfe was
Gu, off on his second visit to Washington
Island, in attempting 10 tow his vessel in.
TO BARRELS Inlet, and all the people ex-
ceptiDg one were massacred. The tract
ofland purchased by capt. Kendrick, as
mentioned IN capt. Crowninshield's cor
rect end intelligent statement to Doetor
Niitchill, was at Nooika Sound and his
granters were CALHOUN and MARourN-
MA, two noted Chiefs, though both are
since dead, Mr.. Cords says, the Russi.
ans were on the coast as early as l78s as
far south as Cooks River, where they had
erected several huts. Speaking of Column
bia River, he thinks the maine was given
by capt. Gray, Of the Mary Washington,
al the very lime he was on the coast with
capt. Kendrick, IN the ship Columbia.

/ A letter from Havanna, of late date,
says, /" The ship venelia, captain Walsh,
of Boston, was detained by a sloop ofwar.
sent into Providence, and dismisscd.---
When she was haiIed and asked her car
go. the captain answered, I" Shoes, leather,
and nails :" but, on examinationat Provi-
dence, these proved tobe Sugar Box. nails,
Cait-skins, and fine Shoes. The Judge
pronounced them articles OF legal traffic,
and the cap,oss agreed 10 rclinquish the
proceedings.
The brig Gayosa was carried in be.
cause she had a cask of hardware invoiced
Compasses. The captors construed this
INTO mariners c0mpasses, aud they proved
TO be such only as are used by carpen.

are in the 6fR volume OF his works on agriculture
printed at London, in the year i784.
From the premi(es which have been mentioned
he argues as follows: Il pblogiaon in vo-

lathe principle, generated by their rutyefremcc.
In this view the practice Of frequently turning
dung oyer. which is reskoned by lcnie wri.erssfo
very excellent, will perhaps be found, after one
firing, uniformly pernic,ous, and tending only
to let loofe ard ailipate in the atmosphere, the
offence which would mott contribute to the fer
tility of the fields. Without a certain degree:
of pu;rcfaaion, the pblogiaon will not be VIOLA.
