A late voyager TO the Sandwich Iflands, i'm
mortal by the fate of Capt. Cook, informs us,
that in one of thefe remote in inds he found the
ambition which has given extenIive conquets
and glory to ancient and modern heroes of Fu-
rope.-By arms, and perfuafion, hero named
Tamahama, had extended his power over the
surrounding Islands. Only one ftiIl refrIfed fub-
milton, and in that the inhabitants, alDoft wild
with defpair, had contemplated to conflruet
veffel upon which they might truft to the ocean,
and find another abode for their independence,
which they no longer hoped to f1pport by
courage and arms! But this ambition has given
progrefs to- fociety, in the allied iIlands, and
their necefIities have furnifhed arts which they
cultivate and advance in peace. The hero had
already prepared feet, and had purpofes of
commerce with the continent of Ala. Aban-
doning the favage manners, an opportunity H.
given for the milder doctrines of European ma
lions. The resemblance in the language Of
theie iflauds, even fuch as are moi remote, is
now fully aicertained. Salem Reg.
