Holland The particulars, as we ave learned
Ihrp are as follow: :-On the 2Sh ut Jnnr i,s, the
American whaling barque Cervdntes, OF New Lon-
don Capt Gibson, Master, was lost III Julian Bay.
on the West Coast of New Holland the crew lost
-verv thing hut what they stood IN, there being no
inhabitants within POO miles OF the place where they
were wrecked. After suffering The most incredible
haTdshipS Capt Gibson. with iliirrn ot his men,
arrived al Geography Bay on the 20th Jny, having
travelled upwards Of 20J miles through sandy
DESERT one man having died Tor wan, OF TODD and
water Here they found Capt Jriirrs whaling
W IN his ship. VINO immediately administered 10
tler wants and comforts IN The most charitable
manner On the 9th of August last, the whaling
harQue Ualcy on OF New-LUndon, Captain Bailey,
Master, then Wing in Grography Bay, parted both
her chains and WAS lost, leaving her crew entirely
destitute of the common necessdries OF lie. Cdpi
JeiiIes inme GIate!y told the crew oi The unioftu
nate vessel not to despond, but be Of coed cheer
that although they amounted TO FORTY III number
h. would not leave man behlnd-that he wohld
abandon his voyage, his own pecunlary Interests,
As we'll as those OF his owners, 10 save lie and
although whales were plenty, and he might have
filed his vessel he gave up the voyage, and i"rh-
wrecked mariners comfortable. his trst step was
to send his carpenter on shore and erect tempo
rary hut, that they might have some other shelter
beside the canopy OF heaven, al the same tlme pro-
vidlng them with an ample supply OF provisions,
the best the ship afforded This having been ac-
complished, he next proceeded 10 put his snip IN
readiness 10 receive so large number oi pas$en-
gers filling up accommodations ior thein, NC

all possibility OF taking any more ol His arrange,
ments being all completrd Capt Jefires, received
the men on board and sailed for the Isle OF France
where he arrived IN safety, leaving the men, with
the exception OF the four above alluded 10 Hr
then applied 10 the American COMMERCIAL Agent
Mr. ] Griffith, resident ihrre, but could obtain no
satisfaction whatever would he take any charge
of the poor sufferers but shipped them of boad
English vessels, insteas Of providing tor them unul
An opportunity occurred 10 send them 10 ihr land oi
their nativity Such conduct toward American
citizens iu foreign land from HIM who shoHld be
their Country's representative, Is deserving Of me
strongest censurr particularly WHEN their situation
is considered Capt. Jerles, his officers and crew,
shared their clothing among The crews OF The I" o

nrss This generous act IN relieving his country
men has blasted the prospects oi his VOYAGE IN a
