SEVENTY YEARS AGO.
John Jaoob Astor's Letter to Hon.
John Quincy Adams, Relative to
the American Establishment
of Astoria.
IS'mv York, Jan. -1, 1S23.
Sit: I have the honor to re
ceive your letter of the 24th ult
imo. 1 wiisjKJSuion has prevented
roe from acknowledging the re
ceipt ikorcof at an earlier period.
Yoa request information of :ir
r&ngomeHts made al or about 1S14,
lir the northwest company and
citizens of tle United Statos, by
-nbiek that company became pos
sessed of a settlement made at the
mouth of the Columbia river by
ctlutetts of the United States. The
i-rufomeut to which you allude I
prestwoe is "Astoria," :is I know
f no other having been made at
or er the lttouth of that river.
Several circumstances are alleged
as having contributed to the ar
ransvMOcuts by which the north
west ooMtpany came into posses
sion of that settlement, but chiefly
t the misuse of confidence which
had been placet! in Mr. McDougal,
vbo a the turn the nrrnnrremenfs i
were made,. at the time mv !
at Mr. Wilson G. Hunt.
absent, acted as sub-agent.
I bear leave brieflv to state that
C3Mwiatinff to make an cstab-.
lishmeut at the mouth of the Co
1 umbra river, which should serve
as a place depot and give further
facilities for conducting a trade
across the continent to that river
and thence to the ranges of the
northwest coast and country to
C&aton in China, and from thence
to the United States. Arrange
ments wore accordingly made, m
1S10, for a party of men to cross
tireconttucnt for the
f"!nlnmlii
river.
At the same time I fitted
1
oot the ship Tonquin, carrying
twonty guns and sixty men com
manded by the late Captain Thorn,
lieutenant in the United States
aary.
The ship sailed in September,
1S10, having on board the means
of making an establishment at
Columbia where they arrived on
the 23nd of March, 1SD. They
lauded, found the natives friendly
and btttit a fort, erected a house,
stores, &c This being accom
plished, Captain Thorn left thirty
men iti possession of the place to
await the party who were to make
a vorage overland, these also hap
pily arrived, tlough not till sev
eral months after. On or about
the 14th of June, Captain Thorn
left the Columbia river with a
train to make some trade on the
coast and then return to the river,
bat unfortunately Thorn never re
turued. At about two hundred
miles north of the Columbia he
put in a bay to trade with the na
tives. Not attending to the pre
cautions necessary, as he had been
instructed to do, to guard against
an attack, he suffered a whole tribe
of Indians to come on board and
about the ship. An attack was
made; he was overpowered, fire'
was communicated to the maga
riae, the ship was blown up and
every soul on board or near her
perish od.
In 1S11, 1 fitted out another
ship, the Beaver, carrying twenty
guns with a duplicate cargo to the
ship Tonquin and sixty or seventy
men. The captain, Fowles, was
instructed to sail for the Columbia
river and in search of the men who
were sent across the continent, as
also of the Tonquin. The Beaver
sailed from this port in October,
1S11. arrived in Columbia in May
following; found the establish
ment and landed such men, goods,
provisions, etc., as the establish
ment was in need of.
My instructions to the captain
wore that after supplying the es
tablishment, he should proceed to
"Chatka,' a Russian settlement
for the purpose of trade, and then
return to Columbia, take what
furs we had and proceed to Canton
and thence to Xew York; had ac
cordingly left Columbia (and most
unfortunately Mr. nunt, of Tren
ton, New Jersey, my chief agent
on Jhe river with him. sailed as di
rected for the Russian settlement
and efiected the object; but in
stead of following instructions to
return to Columbia he sailed di
rect for Canton leaving Mr. Hunt
at the Sandwich Islands to await
the arcival of another ship which I
promised to send from this port in
1S12.
The ship Beaver arrived
Canton and received there
news of the war. 1 had sent
in
the
or-
tiers to the captain to return to
Astoiia but he was fearful of be
ing captured and remained in safe
ty at Canton till the war was over,
when he came home. In conse
quence of the war, found it in
convenient to send a ship in 1312,
but J did send the Lark early in
lSlo, with directions to the cap-
tain to sail for Columbia and to
stop at the Sandwich Islands for
in formation.
Beinir within
a davs sail of
t!,ose isIands lho shlP in u flua11 (,f
j wind was upset, and finally crip
pled on the beach of one of those
islands, a wreck, ship and cargo
totally lost. . Here was met Mr.
Hunt, who after all the informa
tion he received, and my great de
sire to protect the establishment at
the Columbia river, procured an
American vessel, took some pro
visions, sailed and arrived in Co
lumbia river. He there learned
that Mr. McDougall had trans
ferred all my property to the
Northwest com panj, who when in
possession of it by a sale, as he
called it, for the sum of about
fifty-eight thousand dollars, of
which he retained fourteen thou
sand dollars for wages said to be
due some of the men fiom the
price obtained for the goods, and
he having himself become inter
ested in the purchase and made a
partner of the Northwest company,
some idea may be formed of this
man's correctness of dealing. It
will be seen by the agreement
(that of which 1 transmit a copy)
and the inventory that he sold to
the Northwest company eighteen
thousand one hundred and seventy
and a quarter pounds of beaver at
two dollars, which was at that time
selling at Canton at five and six
dollars a pound; nine hundred and
seventy otter skins at fifty or half
dollar, which were selling at Can
ton at $5 and G per skin.
I estimated the whole property
to be worth nearer two hundred
thousand dollars than fortj- thou
sand, about the sum I received in
bills on Montreal. Previous to
the transaction of Mr. Doujrall
who had already established trad
ing posts in the interior and were
in contact with the Northwest
company. It is now to be seen
what means have been used by
them to counteract my plan. It
is well known that as soon as the
Northwest company had informa
tion of my intention and plan for
conducting my commercial opera
tions, they dispatched a party of
men from the interior with a view
to arrive before my people at the
Columbia. These men were obliged
to return without affecting their
object. In the meantime repre
sentations were made to their
government as to the probable
effect of my operations on their
interests and requesting to inter
pose in their behalf. This beinyl
in time of peace the government
did not deem it advisable to do so.
So soon, however, as war was de
clared those representations were
renewed. Aid was asked from
the government and it was grant
ed. The frigate Phoebe and
sloops-of-war Ranccon and Porcu
pine were sent from England with
orders to proceed to Columbia
river and destroy my property.
They sailed from England earh' in
January 1S13.
Arrived at Rio Janeiro, Ad
miral Dickson ordered the Phoebe
frigate with one sloop to pursue
Capt. Porter in the frigate Essex,
and the sloop-of-war Rangoon to
the Columbia. She arrived there,
took possession in the name of the
king, and changed the name of the
place from Astoria to Fort George.
Previous to this the Northwest
company had dispatched another I
or second party of men to the Co-:
lumbia. They arrived in absence i
of Mr Hunt. Mr. McDougal irave j
them support and protection and
they commenced after some time
to negotiate with this jrentleman.
The reason assigned bv him for
his conduct will be seen by an ex-
tract of a letter said to be sent by
a Mr. Shaw to the Xorthwest com-!
pany, and of which I send a copy.
The plan by me adopted was such
as must materially have aflected
the Xorthwest company and the
Hudson Bu.y company, and it was
esisy to be forseen that they would
employ ever- means to counteract
my operations, and which, as my
impressions, I stated to the execu
tive of your department as earl
as February, 1813, as will be seen
by the copy of a sketch of a letter
which I wrote to the secretary of
state, to which no reply was given.
On repeated applications some
time after, aid was promised me,
but I believe the situation of our
country rendered it inconvenient
to ffive it. 5lou will observe that
., ,i t -, I
the name Ot the IraClfic l1Ur COm-
pany is made use of at the com
mencement of the arrangements
for this undertaking?;. I preferred
to have it appear as a business of
a company rather than that of an
individual, and several of the
gentlemen engaged Mr. Hunt,
Mr. Crooks, Mr. McKay, Mr. Mc
Dougall, and Stuard as were in
effect, to be interested as partners
in the undertaking, so far as re
specting the project which might
arise, but means were furnished by
me and the property was solely
mine, and I sustained the loss
which, though considerable, I do
not regret, because had it not been
for the unfortunate occurrence
just stated, I should have been, as
I believe, most richly rewarded,
as it will be seen that the differ
ence of price in beaver and otter
skins alone, say what T received
and the value of them at Canton
at that time, is about 6G0,000. I
am, sir, your obedient servant.
