SHIP NEWS.
I/ztctrceting jzarticulany of a voyage.
It will be recollccted that about the 21st of Oct.»
last, the Bafloon Soy Scra/u:r. Guille, commander,
was advertised to sail from Vauxhall, I\"e\v-York,
on a voyage offdiscovery ; but was supposed to
have parted her moorings and drifted away while
the crew were on_ shore. This, however, proves
to be a mistake.’ as will appear by the entries in
the Log-Book lately found on the coast where
s’.-c was said to bé3.stranded. ‘What has become
ofthc crew, we have not yet heard ; but presume
from the last entry in the Log Book, they must
bc,alive. '-l'he apprehension of those who believ-
cd that the Crew were 2'7):/Lr£.s'.srd,. while on the

carrbe no doubt they are all safe, and the Print-‘

tion of l.lltIl' friends. I

the captain himself. and contains much curious
matter, respecting the Inhabitants,manners, cus-
K--lms. Evil, productions, &c.‘ of the countries vis-

be mad: with a good degree of candor, and with
.t:~: lI.‘*.lCl‘i appearance of truth,‘. as those of many
t.;~.:clii-.rs in a more limited sphere. The philo-
sophical nota bones, and statistical obscr'vutions
