A voyage to the Eaft Indies, at this period, excites little more attention thana pafiage to Hamburgh; and feldom affords occurrences tliat can engage the attention of the curious, or reward the pains of the inquifitive. Hence voyages to this part of the globe are not often publifbed ; but as that now under confideration exhibits a general view of our trade and fettiements in the oriental re- gions, almoft half a century back, it cannot f il to interelt thofe who love to contemplate the pr«'>" grcfs of commerce, aided by the encroachments of power. Some of our early voyages to the eaft we have already detailed; ihey were interefting from their novelty j while Mr. Grofe's narrative will ferve as an intermediate link, to conne£fthe paft with the prefent times. Our author having entered into the fervice of the Eaft India Company in the chara6ter of a wri- ter, embarked on loard the Lord Anfon, Captain Foulis, ore of the company's ihips, bound for Bombay and China^ in Maicb i/^O^ and the Vot.

For four montlni nothing material occurred to claim notice; their' voyage was profperous and the firll land they j | made was Johanna, one of the Comoro Jflands, between the continent of Africa and Madagafcar. Nothing can be more delightful to the fenlVsi than to enjoy this beautiful illand, after a longj continuance at fea. Its very appearance is charm- ing. High hills covered with trees flope down to the beach; and the whole fcene has a peculiarl}^' romantic chara6ter> which borrows nothing from art. the ihip to Here came an anchor on the 28th | of July, and was immediately fuirounded by ca- noes, bringing refrefliments from the fhore j each Itriving to get before the other, to vend their com- modities. Moft of thefe canoes had outleaguers, formed of poles laid acrofs, to prevent their over- fetting. Their large velfels, called Panguays, are raifed feet the fides of fome on with branches I trees and reeds, bound together with fmall cord and rendered water proof by being plaiftered over with a refinous fubftance. Few carry more than two fails, made either of iheer-grafs, or cocoa-nut leaves matted together. The Comoro Ides take their name from Como- ro, the largeft of them : they are five in number, and all lie oppofite to the African fhore, between' which and Madagafcar, is found what is called the Channel of Mofambique. Comoro, the largeft ifland, is little frequented by Europeans, as it fur- nifhes no fafe harbours, nor are its natives fond of having any intercourfe with llrangers. Perhaps the Portuguefe, in their early voyag'es, alienated the afiTedions of thefe people by their cruelties and impofitions^ the effedts of which have never been GROSES VOYAGE. 3 ?en obliterated j and thus, as is frequently the afe among thefe fimple natives, all Europeans Ire confidfied in the fame light. Johanna, how* [ver, from the advantage of its lituulion, fuper- [edes the neceflity of fhips wilhing to touch at the )ther iflands in this group, and ienves their in- labitants at liberty to indulge their prejudices.
