From the departure of the last outfit under Mr.M'Kenzie, nothing remarkable took place at Astoria, till the 9th of May.
On that day we descried, to our great surprise and great joy, a sail in the offing, opposite the mouth of the river.
Forthwith Mr.M'Dougal was despatched in a boat to the cape, to make the signals.
On the morning of the 10th, the weather being fine and the sea smooth, the boat pushed out and arrived safely alongside.
