;j HJMARSS
''From the Log-Bock respecting the loss of
tbcSiip ONTA RIO, on the 1799,
as written fry Mr. Cowman, the first of
ficer of the ship.
At day-light made Sooratoo, bearing about
Eby S. At 6 a m. squally with heavy
tain from the N. At 8 am, extreme!, of
Sobratoo bore from E N E,. to N EJE,
distant 8 or 9 leagues—three frnall fflands
from the'Ni of ditto, from N E •§' E, tb N E
b\l-N. At io am. ccurfe SE$ 5; squally
from the N W qr. clued up the- forie and
main top-gallant fails—Gapt. Whetten and
the starboard witch upon deck attending fails
squalls more moderate, ftiip going at the
rate of 5$ cr 6 miles per hour,, when (he un
fortunately flruck upon a reef of coral rocks,
at $ past io a M—the fails being full, were
immediately clued up ; the thip then came
too and btot the wind abaft the beam'; the
fails were immediately laid ab?ek, and the
main and miaen top-faik fheetcd home and
hoi (led, in hopes of- barking her off, as the
reef appeared to be sleep : the ship during
this time surging very heavy, and sallying
6ver to leeward ; looking over her fid*, saw
3 quantity of ftieathing broke into (hivers
rifmg from the after part of her fore-chains ';
immediately upon finding ourselves a(hore, ]
the wafle guns were fired, and ensign hoided
union down, but which whs inllantly blown
away, the wind having by this time very
much kicrtafed, and an EngHOi jack was lioi
'Red in its place, in order to give the Swift
timely notice of our fituat:9n and her own
danger, as fhc was then standing dirertly to
wards us ; we likewile lent some of the peo
ple aloft in the rigging to wave to her, in or
der that {he might haul her wind athwart our
flem, but they were unnoticed. After lay
ing aback our fails ?*id the ship not being
loosened by them, a gang of hands were sent
to both pumps, and a gang to clear and get
out theboat§; ; the jolly boat being hoisted
out, 4 men were sent a-way towards the Swift
to inform them of their danger, as she ftiil
edged towards us—and they were likewile
ordered to go round our flern is order to
found and make remaiks on their pafTage to
the ijwifu— Immediately after, the pinnace
being hoisted out and manned, capt. Whet
ten ortlered the chief mate to pull up direft
ly to the Swift and inform them of our situa
tion and their own danger, a»d to make re
marks both going and coming, as we could
tint fee the extent of the reef, the wind blow
ing hard and a heavy rough sea. It wis
now j i am, the carpenters and a number
of hands had been eroplowed founding and
working both pumps from the firfl—when
he firft founded she bad but i j inches of wa-
ter in the well j he continued founding as faft
as he could, and found hei to increase 2 in
ches each time, so that at Ij, when the tft
mate left the ship (he had 4 feet 6 inches in
the well. (Remarks from 11 until noon)—
Put off in the pinnace and pulled round the
bow, found the reef, to run 8 01 10 fathoms
upon the weather bow ; on cur pafTage to the
Swift, we overtook the jolly-boat, which I
sent back to the ship, with orders to take a
fniallfweep around the Ontario's stern, in or
der to found and discover how far the reef
extended in that direftion—pulled under the
Swift's lee and informed them of the Onta
rio's misfortune and her situation, when I
left her—and found that the reef ran in a
S direction farther then we had ytt been
able to discover ; in consequence of which
(lis anchored and hoisted out her cutter. I
pulled down towards the Ontario, and took
a sweep of at leaf! 2 cables length ahead, and
fell in with the reef about one point on the
lei bow, her head being then S S E—pulled
0:1 board alone the weather fide of'the reef,
and could now for the firlt time fee the sea
break upon several pointed rocks, but so ve
ry (mall as not without great difficulty to
b? distinguished from the tops of common
seas—got on board about noon : Whet
ten and the people on board during my ab
sence had hoisted out the long-boat, and had
cleared the decks of lumber, Bcc. At noon
the people weie employed in putting in the
■ boat some water, provisions' and fire
arms. and the most ufeful. part of their
cloatliitip- ; as we did not entertain the most
distant idea of saving the ship, she having
then 7 ft. 10 in. water in her hold—the gun
room and cabin deck being much risen, and
the fliip continuing to surge very heavily t«
leew., a i freltjyinj from the id W, with a
dark nbrizon, and the wattr
faft by the reef. About 5 minutes
noon, capt. Whetten ordered the chief
mate to take fix hands in the pinnace, and
to puil up to the Swift, which lay at anchor
about two miles, and inform capt. White,
tha he (capt. Whetten) intended to stay in
the Ontario until he saw the long boat put
off from the wreck with the people, As it
was imp fltble to pull the long boat up to
windward, there was no other alternative
than running directly thro the narrowed
part of the reef to leeward, in order to a
void the pointed rocks which the falling wa
ter had by this time left level with its fur
facc.and which must neeeflarily be attended
with the most imminent danger—he there
fore sent by me arequeft to capt. White to
get under way and pjfs round the south end
of the reef, as near as he could with fafety,
we having not yet ascertained exaflly its
extent. The surgeon and fnpereargo aG-
C - pa- ied me, and wt reached the Swift
about 1 P. M I informed capt. White of
capt Wetten's relolutions and wishes, upon
which he began immediataly to have up
and to get under way, but a short chopping
sea and a fr fh gate with a current to the S.
E. of at least one mile per hour, caused us
to et in the cable very slowly. At 2-P.
M. the > wist began to drive aliho'flie had
upwards of forty fathoms of cable then out.
I tben(i.e.chief mate)took fix hands in capt.
White's pinnace, and pulltd *oward»
the south end of the reef in ord- r to foun
and it pvthble to ditcover its extent—a lig
ral leaving been agreed oa in cafe of my
filling in with the T«f, as the Swift was to
follow the track of the p nrrace to go to
leeward of the v;ret!<. Not meeting with
ft >h paflipg rou' d under its lee—and the
Swift driving very faft to leeward, nor ha
ving her ?nchor up, I pulled up towards |
the Ontario. • -
A bout three P.M. law the Ontario's
long boat put off from the wreck, and pass
thro Ihe reef—the Swift having by this time
got fufficiently to leeward distant from the
wreck about or 6 miles, to
firid capt. Whet'en and all hands in the
long boat, we pulled across towards befr and
fpkelhem—they informed me that c'pt.
had remained on board, with the
s>oat and two of his men. The long
bo*t had on board the officers and 27 men,
and her masts and small spars towing in a
raft astern in order to prevent her from over
turning, she w>as then fctiddii g before the
wind and a heavy swell. under a fail formed
of one of the Ontario's royals- About i
after 3PM saw the jolly boat put offawd
run down towards the Swift fpok. her to
leeward of the reef, about -{• mile. After
speaking with the capt. in the jolly boat,
I pulled up to wreck to fare some of my
cloathes if pofllble. When the long boat
left the ship (he had in her well 11 feet 6
inches 0/water—whtti capt. Whetten left
her, (he had -14 feet 7 inche9 in the hold and
three streaks heel to winward- From noon
until 3 p m they had been employed on board
handing the fails, to ease her masts, and thus
prevent them from going overboard and
staving the long boat along fiide. They al
so cut away the tiller, and hoisted up the
rudder ro the upper deck, in order to get up
some bread, the water being absve the
gun-r®om deck, and likewise over the main
hatches betwixt decks.
she long boat was unable to .bring a*jy
aay weighty things, as fee had to )»<$
through the rood (hallow part of tjie (fef.
I reached the (hip about 4 t, M. atkf found
her jnueh in the lame (late as when captaif)
Whetten- left hef, 'excepting that (he had'
more heel ti> windward. I was on board near
half an hour, and during that time (he" had
near two streaks more heel v to windward, so
that when I came away (he heeled *t least
ux her starboard quarter
gallery in thk water. Frowi. the time 1 had
been absent from the (hip, the water had fal
len at least 5 feet by the reef, and still contan
ued*tp fall when Icartjf away from her. A
rock Which lay about three fathoms from pur
iaiboaid gallery, wai frequently dry for the
space of a minute, its top did notrxreed two
feet in diameter, -but increased"- towards it's
baft, so that it, as well as the reft which
were to he seen, veTy nearly resembled a fu- •
gar loaf or cone in ftiape. The reef aboua.
Ed with rocks of the above description, with
their tops awafb, while the bed of tke reef
was onefathftm or 1$ ujuler water. The ex
treme lengKof the reef from the examinati
on and observations which we could make,
does not exceed two cable's length, running
s 8 by s and w w by h, the breadth about
one cable's length.
When the Ontario was laying on the n v
part, of the reef, the following bearings were
taken, viz. ,

8 leagues,
Carimata was open with the s part of
Sooratoo about one quarter of a point.

the w part of Suratoo.
At 4 part 4 PM, the long boat reached
the fhip_ Swift in fafety.
At half past 5, capt Whetten got on board
the Swift, from which he tools the.following
bearings, viz,
Ontario's wreck bore n w half N, distant
about 7 miles. V

without foundation.
Duane the editor of the Aurora, by way
of iiifuiniting a lesson to the jacobins within
our country states, that the United Irish
men in Ireland, notwithttanding they have
been disappointed, in the expefted succor
from the French, still retain i\ve\r loyalty and
gratitude to, and dependence on the Great
Nation. On this fail we might have fafely
relied,'coming as it does from an United I
risbman. It is however confirmed by the
following renrark, U* the late report of the
secret committee, of the British House of
Commons. The reportersobfervs : " The
vigorous refiftwice opposed to the rebellion
in Ireland, the success of the meafurei,
whictl have been employed, for detefling,
and defeating the designs of the conipirators
here, and the general and ardent spirit of
loyalty, and attachment to the laws and
conftituticm, have hitherto countera&ed the
piogrtfs of the mifchief, and averted im
pending danger ; but even thefecircumftan
ces by 110 means appear to your committee,
to jeftify the hope, that the mifchief is erad
icated or the danger pa (Ted. Ibtir reliance
on \be Assistance and co-operation of France,
by Vibicb they expect ultimately to effect
their purposes 5 continues undiminished."
Can it he doubted, that the societies of Unit
ed Irishmen in the United States, have »f,t
been, and are still laboring for the dovmfal
of our excellent government, that their loy
alty to France continues unshaken and un
diminished.
With so many instructive facts before
our eyes, who is so blind, as not to perceive
the propriety of the condudl of the United
Irishmen, within the United States, in their
various attempts to stijle the alien and se
dition laws, and the oWjeil of their secret
and dreadful conspiracies.
The French, like the Romans, draw from
war, wherewith Xt> nourish war ; they profit
by one conquest, only to make another con
quest ; they Weaken by the most insidious
arts the nation they would subdue; they
cherish among its discontented or factious
fubjefts or citizens, the hope of a new and
better form of government, which they a
lone are to administer. Having ripened the
people for revolution., and the ar.ny for de
fection, they declare war, ever-run the
country ; fee up a new form of government
administered by their partisans, the discon
tented and factions ; enter into an alliance
with these raen, and employ all the resour
ces of the country, to aid them in making
a similar conquest of some other country.
Such is the courst and system the French
pursue, to arrive at universal dominion.
With these fails before their eyes, can the
good people of the United States, like the
Grecians of old to the conquests of Rome,
remain insensible to the progress of French
conquests r and the meaning and object of the
discontented and factious among themselves
who publish in their scandalous pewfpapers,
their grauilations at every kingdom or state
reduced the yoke of France, knowing that
it is to -givr new resources, and therefore
(hortens. the eventful period, at which the
people of thel'e United States, must either
yield up their government and country into
the most contaminated hands, or defend them
by a long and bloody contest. That French
men within. the United States (hould rejoice
at the fuccefles of the great nation, is na
tural ; that United Irishmen (hould do so,
agreeable to their association and oath
hut it is shocking to think, that there are
Americans base enough to join in such re
joicings.

Ms lieut. on board, after which capt. Preble
came on board himfelf, and isformed me
that three days before he had retaken a brig
from New-York laden with flour and dry
goods, worth 50,000 dollars, and sent her
into Montferat. In lat. 17, 31. long. 61, at
13 o'clock saw a fleet of 6 fail (landing for
me—at 2, P. M- was brought too by a
French privateer of 12 guns—sent a boat
on board me, with a prize master and 3
men, took me on hoard the privateer, exami

on board my wtfning me a good pas

confided of I brig from Newburyport, a
(loop from New-York, t fchr. from Balti
more of 5 guns, one fehr. from Philadelphia,
and one fchr from Surinam homeward
bound, which I suppose to be capt Lemuel
Moody—all of which (he had taken 011 her
passage from St. Bartholomews to Guada
loupe—the capt's. and crews, except the
mates, were permitted toftaj' on board their
own veiTels. The capt. of the privateer
said there were too many American cruisers
among the illands', that retook his prizes.
This was probably the cafe the next morn
ing, as he was crouding fail to get in with
the land, and was only about 70 miles from
the east end ot Gnadaloupe, where captain
Preble and the Washington ware cruificg.
They keep just far enough apart to fee j
cross from Guadaloupe to Antigua, so that
I think it almost impoflibl# for the French
man to get in, even without the prizes."
