Capt. Edes, who arrived at this port on
Thursday lastfromjthe Pacific ocean, was
at Atooi and saw King Tamoree. He
inquired particularly after his son, but
captaia Edes could give him no informa-
ton. Capt. f relates the following anec'
date capt Ebbets, in the ship Enter.
prize, of New York. was at Atooi in Fe-
bruary last, and during violent gale lost
all his anchors bat one. The ship was
saved by king Tamoree, who sent boa
in the height of the gale with large an
Choir on board, and thus enabled him to
ride it out.
An American ship, and the lives Of Sc
veral American seamen have thus been
preserved by the humane ezertions Of
King Tamoree. Let every American
then remember that Tamoree has son
in this country, that for several years
past has been enduring all the hardships
attendant upon the life OF common sal
lor on board our men of war; and was
badly wounded /; that he has recently
been taken under the protection of a So
ciety OF benevolent gentlemen, and sent
to Connecticut to be educated, with a
view to his return to his native country.
We trust that when our countrymen are
called upon to contribute for the educa-
ton of Heather Youth, these facts will
not be forgotten.
How can we better manifest ourgrati.
tude to the father, than by restoring to
him under such circumstances his long
lost son.--Ibid

Commercial Treaty.

In our preceding columns the reader will
find the long expected and much talked OF
Commercial Treaty between this country and
Great Britain Such as it is, WEI are glad il
has been adopted but it does not secure TO
the United States single benefit or privilege
which was not contained in the one negotiated
by Mr.. jay, which created such universal and
outrageous opposition and Glamour from the
men who now administer the government nor
has it any advantage over the treaty agreed to
by Mr.. Munroe, which was so promptly re-
iected by Mr.. jefferson. The fact is, alter
suffering seven or eight years of commercial
restrictions and war, in which the country, as
well as individuals, have incurred immense
losses, and the accumulation Of an enormous
national debt, and which has and will for
many years to come load the people with
burdensome and yexatious taxes and imposts ::
the situation of the country and its foreign re-
latons are not in the least degree bet,ered !;
nor its commerce placed upon more favour
able footing than it was before the embargo
and war system commenced.-l h. Treaty is
silent on the subject Of the Labrador and
shore fishery, which was secured TO the u. ).
by treaties which were annulled by the war.
Ii will be found that the equalization OF du-
ties will have an effect, in manner, to ami
hilate the trade between this country and the
British islands in the West Indies, which in
future will be supplied by British vessels di-
rect from the United States.

RUFUS KING.

A letter from the Correspondent of the New

18th instant, mentions that the discussion on
the Treaty had been going on, for several
days, " in a good-natured aCay"-" Yester-
day, (adds the letter. Mr.. King, OF New
York, rose in the Senate, upon the great M
ferea Of trade. Here Mr.. King was found in
his pecu lar province. 1t was not in the
great departments of commerce, its general
interests, but in vor,ey Of detaa, that he
shone in all the fulness and lustre OF saga
cious and accomplished statesman. Subjects
least known to others, appeared in him as fam
liar as the common concerns OF life. Ills
friends felt pride on the occasion, while tine
leaders of administration stood in silent admi-
ration of his talents, and could not but rever-
ence his virtues.
