objects in view, send you some extracts Of
letter from a young officer going upon
the expedition. She is called the Western
Engineer, and will start from P,tsburg a.
bout the first of May. 1t is intended that
she shall navigate the western waters as far
as the Yellow Stone River, which will re.
quire upwards of two years, 1t is not ex-
pecled that they will do more than explore
the waters of the Missouri and its tributary
streams the first season, as the movements
will be gradual, in order 10 obtain a tho
rough knowledge of that section of the
country, with history Of the inhabitants,
soil minerals and curissities. The expedi-
ton is under the direction OF Major Stephen

MELANCHOLY SHIPwRECK.


About o'clock. on Friday morning, the
fine ship Trelawney, $50 tons burden, Of
GLASGOW, bound to Jamaica, and comman-
ded by David Reid, one Of our most re-
spectacle and experienced sbip,uasters in
the West-lndia trade, went on shore on
the Ayrshire coast, between Stevenson
Burn and Irwin Bar. There was no COM
munication between the vessel and the land
in the morning and at len O'Clock it came
on to blow very hard, with heavy swell,
when fore of the crew came on shore in the
Jolly boat, with line, but it unfortunately
slipped from the vessel. A cask. however,
with line, reached the shore, and four ac-
tive, adventurous seamen, OF Saltcoats,
(three of them shipmasters) Immediately
pushed off in boat and succeeded in
reaching the vessel.
Having taken on board the captain and
ten of the crew, which was as many as the
boat could carry; they were returning,
when the boat upset, and all on board Pc
rished, within 200 yards ofthe shore, in the
sight of great number OF people, who
could give them no assistance. The body
of captain Reid, and that Of one of the
ships boys, named Clark, came on shore
soon after, but all attempts to restore ami
nation failed. The remainder of the crew,
consisting OF nine, with passenger, were
seen clinging to the masts and rigging all
day, the SEA breaking over The vessle, ou'
no;attempt could be made to. save them
and four Of them dropped off during the
night. Next morning, the weather having
moderated, the other five seamen, with the
passenger, were carried on shore, and are
fast recovering, from the humane attention
the have met with.
