From SeyIon the frigate proceeded by a
route called the eastern passage, south of
the island Of Java, BY the way Of Tlmor
and Amboyna, and So into the Pacific

Of the year when accomplished, it is the
only way to reach China in consequence
OF the N. t. monsoon. The passage was
made very successfully under the Iudcious
and prudent directions OF the gallant
Commodore Parker, who cheerluIy en-|
countered all the hazards of the route in |

early as possible IN China.
