The survey, maiked C, may be relied upon for its accuracy^ The healings, «listaiices, and soundings, were taken by Captain Hickcy, wiio was kind enough to lend hin)self to the examination, and torui-iiish Uio with this result. Jt is the more interesting, as it shows that, with the aid of buoys, the access to vesselfi of almost any ton- nage, may l>e rendered secure. In addition to this, it is susceptible of entii'e defence; because a ship, after passing the bar, in order to avoid tlie Inoaking of the sea on one ot the banks, is obliged to bear up (lireclly for tlie kiudl forming the cape; at all times to ap- j)i()arli within a short distance of its base; and, most frequently, tliere to anchor. I'iius, a small batteiy erected on this point, iu con|nnclion v\ith tlic siiiges on the o])posit'> side, would so endanger the approach, as to deter an eitemy, however hardy, from the at- te:u |>t. 'Ihis outlet, tlic only one between the 38th and 53d degrees of lati- tude, embraces the entire range of country from the ocean to the mountains; and its intericn* unites the advantage of a water cominu- 3ii( I'.tioa throughout, by means ot the many streams tributary to the l!olu!nbia. two of which disembogue (tpposite to each other, within twenty-live leagues of the p^rt, are na\igable, and nearly of equal magnitude with this beautiful river. Tlie ocean teems with otter, (miistela lutica.) the seal, and the whale; while t|ie main-land affords, in innumerahle quantities, the common otter, (mustela lutica,) the bear, tlic hiin'aloc, an«l the wliole varity of deer. It has been ohsor\ed, iiy those exploring this coast, that the climate, to the southward of fil degrees, assumes a mildness unknown in the same latitude on the eastern side of the continent. Without digress- ing to speculate uiioii tiie cause, I will merely state, that such is par- ticularly the lad in 4('>* KJ', the site of Fort Geoige. The mercury, durio'- the winter, seldom descends below the fieezing point; when it does HO, is rarely slali<»nary for any number of days; and the severity of tlie season isinoie determined by the quantity of water than by its coil" elation. Tlie rains ns\:ally commence with November, and continue to fall partially until tiie latter end of March or beginning of April. A benign spring succeeds; and when the summer heats obtain, i\\v\ are so ifin|»("reil by sliowers, as seldom to suspend \ege- tatioii.

They are less in stature, more delicately formed, and singular in the shape of the head; wliicli, in infancy, is compressed between two small plates of wood or metal, so as in its growth to obtain the semblance of a wedgic. They are inquisitive, cheerful, sagacious, possess fewer of the vices attributed to the sa- vage, and are less addicted to cruelties in war. Scalping is unknown to them; and a prisoner suffers the infliction of no other punishment than that of becoming slave to the captor: but, as they neither sow nor raapy an observer cannot easily discern in what the servitude consists. The wants of the oi>e are supplied by his own address in the use of the bow and spear; while those of the other require the same efforts, and equal skill, for their grntification. The language, on this side of the Falls, bears a strong analogy ¥rith that of Nootka; so much so, that, with the aid of a Spanish vo- cabulary of the latter, accompanying the voyage of Valdcs, I could, notwithstanding the in::perfection in this mode of conveying and of oiitaining sounds, express my wants, and be perfectly understood. I met with several of the natives who had heretofore volunteered on board of some one of our vessels in their fur excursions; two of whom had acquired a sufficient knowledge of our language to speak it with some case, and were extremely solicitous to embark with us. I regret that I could not collect sufficient data upon which to ground an estimate of the furs gathered on the Columbia: it was impossible, for reasons that are obvious. Humboldt has undertaken to number those of the otter taken on the coast and shipped to China, of which he assigns five-sixths to the Americans. He may be correct as to the quantity, but I doubt whether the proportion be quite so great; as it frequently happens that the EnglisJi adventurer confides his stock to our countrymen, in order to participate in the benefit of a maiket, from a direct intercourse with which he is excluded by the laws of his country. Perhaps I have gone too much into detail, but it appeared to me, that, by exhibiting the importance of the iMJsition only, I should not have fulfilled the object of the Pixsident; that it was equally in- cumbent on me to present a view of the country, of its inhabitants, of its resources, of its approach, and of its means of defence. 1 shall now conclude with the relation of an occurrence which may and ought to influence the couise to be adopted, and pursued as to tl'iis station. The speculations of Humboldt, his glowing description oftiic soil and climate of this Province, have probably given a new direction to the ambition of Russia, and determined its Emperor to tiie acquisition of empire in America. Until 1816, the settlements of this power did not reach to the southward of 55%* and were of no consideration, al- though dignified by them with the title of Russian America. In the commencement of that year, two distinct establishments * Chart of the discoveries of Kussian N'avi/.\itois, i)ubli.slie(l bv onkr of the Emperor in 1802, referred to bv Ihimbolclt. in bis V.-v -fN'f- S^r.-Au, li'iuislauon, nafe^rO, r, , - ■"'■ 10 [45] -were made, of a different and of a more imposing character. Th« first at Atuoi, one of the Sandwich Islands, the other in this vicinity; withip a few leagues of St. Francisco, the most northerly possession of Spain, in 37' Sfi'. The sketch 1 subjoin, marked D, was procured, from a member of the government at this place, from whom I also^, learned, that its augmentation has since become so considerable as to ' excite serious alarm. Two Russian ships left this on their way. thither a few days anterior to our arriv{il, the one having on board , mechanics of every drscri|>t^on, to,i;ether with implements of husband- ry. We passed sufficiently near the spot assigned to it, to distinguish the coast with some precision, and ascertained that it was an open, road — a circumstance that renders the position liable to many objec- tions, if intended to be permanent; in other respects, the choice is judir '.• .ciousfur an infant colony. It enjoys a climate still milder than that of Columbia, is environed by a beautiful country, and its proximi-. ty to an old settlement enables the Russian to partake of the numer- ous herds of black cattle and horses that have been there multiplying for the last fittv years. The port of St. Francis, is one of the most convenient, extensive, and safe in the world, wholly without defence^ and in the neighborhood of a feeble, diffUsed, and disaffected popula- tion. Under all these circumstances, may we not infer views to the early possession of this harbor, and iiltimately to the sovereignty of entire California? Surely the growth of a race on these shores, scarce- ly emerged from the savage state, guided by a chief who seeks not to emancipate, but to entliral, is an event to be deprecated — an event* the mere apprehension of which, ought to excite the jealousies of the United States, so far at least, as to induce the cautionary measure of preserving a station which may serve as a barrier to a northern aggrandizement. I have not been able to gather other information respecting the settlement at Atooi, than that of an assurance of its existence — a fact corroborated by the visit of the two ships to those islands in their route hither. The Russians are not yet such enterprising navigators as to augment sea risks, by extending a voyage several thousand miles without an object. Such was the case in this instance, unless connected with the settlement, as they had sailed from Lima abundant- ly supplied, a few weeks prior to my first visit to that city in April last. These islands yield the sandal wood, so much esteemed in Chin^» and have been resorted to by our vessels for years past, not only in search of this valuable article, but of the necessary stock of fresh provisions to supply the crew during their cruise on the Northwest Coast. How far this intercourse may be affected, hereafter, by this encroachment, is also a subject for the consider.ition of the President. 1 have taken the liberty to enclose a note, marked E, of the au- thorities, Spanish as well as English, that have fallen under my view, illustrating the discovery of the Columbia, by Mr. Gray, in 1791. Its subsequent occupation in 1811, by which the sovereignty of the United States was completed, to tlie exclusion of any Euro- 'i» r^%.. ■f J -« . - 'J [451 ^ ^*; 11 peHh cliumant, is a fact of which the suirender of tliie sole establish- ment on the river is conclusive evidence.

J«tor fo i : f '' V' -I ' • * "Sbyt YoBK, January 4, 1823. Sib: I had the honor to receive your letter of 24th ultimo. Indis- position has prevented my acknowledging the receipt thereof at an earlier period. You request information of arrangements made at about 1814, by the !Morthwest Company, and citizens of the United States, by ^hich that Company became possessed of a settlement made at the taouth of Columbia river by citizens of the United States. The set- tlement to which you allude, I presume, is '* Astoria," as 1 know of Ho other having been made at or near the moutb of that river. Seve- k>al circumstances are alleged as having contributed to the arrange- ment by which the North-west Company became in possession of that settlement, but chiefly to the misuse of the confidence which had been ./placed in Mr. M*DougaIl, who, at the time the an-angemcnt was ^»niade, and at the time my chief agent, Mr. Wilson P. Hunt, was ab- sent, acted as sub-agent. I beg leave briefly to state, th I know that the Northwest Company have communicated my un<- dcrtaking to the British government, and, under present circum- stances, I think it more than probable that they will apply for some aid to defeat it. Whether they have or will succeed in obtaining that I know not. I have, however, every reason to believe, that, if the government does not aid them, they will make, themselves, an effort to that cflTect. Under other circumstances than the present. I mean in time of peace, 1 think I could have made stand against that Company; in the present, it becomes doubtful and hazardous, and in case of an interference on the part of the British government, impossible for an individual to hold possession of a country which may become a source of wealth and comfort to many. In this situation it becomes very interesting to know somewhat of t!»e views of government relative to this object, and whctlier the United States have or will assert any claim to that, or any part of lliat country, and whether the government will deem it expedient to take possession and give protection to the infant esta- l)libhmetkt which has been made. I presume if forty or fifty men were placed in the fort already established, or on some more eligible situatijo, if such there be, they could, with the aid of the men alrea- dy there, repel any force wiiich 1 think it likely the British would at >'.« [45] A ' 15. this time send, and in the mean time, means might be found to send ■ome mora men, and to strengthen ourselves. My plan was to have reconciled the Indians on the f lissouri to our having a free communi- cation up that river, which no doubt, in a future day, will be effected, whence we can send any force necessary to protect ourselves. But it appears necessary, that some step should now be taken, which will afford a more speedy aid, which can only be done by sending a ves- sel, &c. round Capellorn. There are at this time about 12 or IS American vessels on that coast; many of them might seek and find protection in the Columbia River, if we had even a small force there. I beg leave to say, that at the commencement of my under- taking it appeared to be necessary that some of the people sent to that country should be acquainted with the Indian trade, and they being very scarce i., the United States, I have been under the neces- sity of taking some from Canada, some Candians, and some few Scotchmen. Although they have all become citizens of the United States, I am more or less apprehensive that these, in time of war, may join any force sent by the Northwest Company or the British go- vernment, and the more sO, if there should be no appearance of any protection from this country. Tlie number of these is, however, small, and the principal agent is a Mr. Hunt, of Trenton, a real American, and a gentleman of integrity, honor, and talents. I be- lieve at present, th^re is no post or establishment on the Columbia River, but the one here spoken of, though I am pretty sure the North- west Company will endeavour to fix one, as I have just now a letter, dated 19th November, in London, which says the Northwest Com- pany are fitting the ship Isaac Todd, of about 500 tons, to go to the Northwest coast. The writer does not say under what circum- stances the ship goes, but that she will go to Columbia River there can be no doubt. I pray you, sir, to have the goodness to bring this subject under the consideration of the President, and if permitted, I would ask the favor of being informed of the result, which is the more desirable, as 1 expect very shortly an opportunity of Bending a messenger to that quarter of the world. I am sure the government will readily see the ilinportance of having possession^ and the command, of a river so important and extensive ^ the Columbia, tlie fountain of which cannot be far distant from that of the River Missouri. , .^^ 1 have the honor to be, ^ , i »: Respectfully, , '.

My Dear Sir: We are in Imrry and confusion, preparing pa- pers, &c. for the express canoe, having waited impatiently for some time. It was at last determined upon to send it oiT, without lia\ing received the least knowledge of what has been doing in England since December last; but, fortunately, the arrival of a frigate brought us ac- counts of the Isaac Todd, having on board Messrs. M'Tavish and McDonald, being ready for sea on the 18th March. She is accompa- nied by a frigate, to take and destroy every thing tliiit is American ou the JNorthwest coast. DUN. M'OOUGALL.
