From the Richmond Compiler. Runsian Settlements on the Pacjic. We have before ut a pampnltt from Washington, containing all the documents laid before the House of R. on the l5thinst. respecting the coavt of the Pacific Among these papers, there are some ideas thrown out by Mr Prcvost touching the design of the Russian settle mcnts on those coasts It appears, that during the late war our settlements at the mouth of Columbia River fell into the hands of the Hi iiish. j We considered, that by the 1st arti- !

cle ot the treaty of Ghent, they ought to have given it up to us They however wished to make out. that they had not taken it b) force, but that it had voluntarily given itself up to the North West company and therefore that it did not fall within the words of the treaty. Loid 'atlereagh at last admitted our Might to be reinstated, and to be the party in possession while treating of the title." Orders w'crc given to deliver it up to us and on the 6th Oct. 1813, it was accoidingly delivered to Mr. Prcvost the American agent. Some little excitement had previously prevailed in 1815, some notes passed between Mr Adams and the British Ministers here and some conversation between Mr Rush and Lotd Casticreafh. about ou dispatching the Ontaiio to take possesion of the scttltmtnt on the Columbia. Finally this fceiing seems to hae abatedb) the following explanation which w find in a letter from Mr Adams to Mr Hush of 20th May 1818.

4 In the mean ti.ne, it nny be proper ;

that you should ussiuc Lord t astlereagh that it was entirely owing to accident and to the communications which had previously passed hctv.een the late Secretary of State and Mr Raker concerning the restitution of the post at the mouth of Columbia river, that the Omario was despatched for the purpose ol t churning our possession there, without giving no

tice of the expedition to Mr Hagot, and ' to his government. opies of these com ; municatior.s arc herewith enclotd, from which it was concluded that no author! ' zed English establishment existed at the place ; and as they intimated r.o question whatever, of the title of the U States to the settlement which existed there before the late war, it did not occur that any such question had since arisen which could make it an object of interest to Great Hri'ain You are authorized to add, that notice of the depal ture of the Ontario, and of the object of her voyage would nevertheless luvc been given, but that the expedition uas determined and the vessel despatched, during the President's absence from the seat of government, the last season " Hut the mos' interesting portion of these papers, wl ich we now mean to submit to our readers, is a passage in Mr Prevost's letter of Nth Nov 1816: which sheds some liarht on the Russian policy. Mr P. in the former part of this letter describes the settlement at the Columbia the iimate much milder in the same, latitude on the eastern ',ide of the continent--a winter, in which the mercury seldom descends to the free zing point succeeded by a benign spring and a summer tempered bv genial showers the. voil good, producing all the cereal, g'amis-a, and tuberous, plants the ocean teeming with sea ot- '

Until 18!G the settlements of this power did not teach the souihvvanJ of 55. and were of :r consideration; although dignified by them with the ti le of Russian America. In the commence ment of that year two distinct establishments were made, of a diff icnt and of a more imposing character ; the first a Atooi, one of the Sari s 'wh !!aods, the othct in this vicinity wit! in a few leagues of St. Francisco, the inot nrilicrly pos

sesion of Spam, in 37 5 The sketch I subjoin, ma-ked D as procutcd fic-m a men.ber oJ thc gm.nirrtf t at l is place; from whom 1 also Icatncd tl.f its augmentation hs since become so considciablc, as to excite strums alarm. l wor Russian ships left this on their way thilhu, afew days anterior to out uu;. val, the one having on board mechanics of every description, together with implements of husbandly c passed sufficiently near the pot assigned to k, to distinguish the coast with some pifciiton, and ascertained that it was an i.pen road, a cii cumstancc that renders the position liable to many objections, il intended to be permanent ; in- other respects the choice is judicious for an inland colony, it enjojs a climate still milder than that ot Columbia is em ironed bv a beautiful count!, and its proximity to an old settlement enab'es 'ho Russians to partake of the iiumtn us heaids of black ca!tlc and horse that had been there muhiping for tlu last fifty years. 1 !ie pc,it of St F.ancis is one of the mot convenient, extensive, and safe, in the wot Id u holly without delcncc.and in the neighborhood ol a feeble diffused, and di.suiTccted population. Uneie r ail the circumstanecs. may wc net infer v.cws to the carl) possesion of this harbor, and, ultimately, to tlu sovereignty of cii ire California? Surely the growth of a race on these shoies, scarcely cmcrgcel from the savage sute, guided by a clue f who seeks not to emancipate, but to inthrai, is an event to be deprecated! Ancient- tin n.rte apprehension rf which ought to oxciu the jcab-jsics of the United States, to fat, at tcast, as to ineluce the cauiionaty measure of preserving a station which may serve as a barrier to a northern aggiandizemcnt. I have not been able to gather other information respecting the settlement at Atooi. than that of an assurance ol its existence, a fact corroborated by the visit of the two ships to those islands, in their route hither. The Russian arc net yet such enterprising navigators as to augment sea risks, by extending a voyage? several thousand miles without an objtct. Such was the case in this instance, rnicss connected with the settlement, as th.v had sailed from Lima abundantly supplied a few weeks pi ior to my first visit to that city, in April last. These islands yield the Sandal uood, so much esteemed in China and have been resorted to bv our vessels for vcars part, not only in search ot thi valuable article, but of the necessary stock of fresh provisions to supply the cieu raring their cruise on the noithwtst c.ast. How fo this intercom vc may be -Tee ; cl hereafter by this encroachment, is aina cubject for the consideration of tlu Pics-ident.
