S53 M. DE LA JPfi'ROUSl. SlR> Manilla, April 7, 1787. If your occupations have permitted you to call iin eye over my narrative, I flatter myfelf you will have perceived, that we have neglefted nothing to render our voyage ufeful and intcrefting. Our chart of the noith-weft coaft of America from Mount St. Ellas to Monterey will leave little to be cone by future navigators. Our misfortune at Port des Frarifais, far from diminifhing our zeal, has only convinced us more ftrongly of our duties tov/ards our king and country, and we have conitantly re- gretted, that no hope remains of meeting with a new continent, but only a few iflands of little im- portance, which will add neither to our knowledge, nor to our commerce. You will have feen by the packets intruded to M. Dufrefne, that, after having fold our furs, I purpofed failing for Manilla, in order to take provifion on board, overhaul cur rigging, repair our rudder, and put the Ihips into a condition to profccute the voyage, by palTing through the channel of Formofa, and running along the weft coaft of Japan, and that of Tartary. You will pleafe to obferve, fir, that this part of my Voyage has been generally confidered as the Vol, in. A a moft m *'< ^ .i' â y ' ''i -:v,v: . '\ t-.
