north pole of our globe, and from thence, urging its steady course through Behring's Straits, it may bear our manufactures of Woollen and Iron, to exchange with the natives of the western shores of America, and eastern shores of Asia. Thus, by encouraging a spirit of industry, it will lay the foundation for the rise of mighty nations where at present all is waste and wild. The distance to Canton by this route is not greater than to the island of Madagascar, or from Clyde to Cape Horn. The whole distance by this route from the Clyde to Botany Bay, is 9540 geographical, or 11,050 English miles, not much above double the distance to Jamaica, and scarcely half the distance which that colony is from us by the present route.
