1753 - 02 Jan 1753 - Philadelphia: Last week Capt Allison arrived here from Antigua, who, on the 11th of last month, about 80 leagues to the eastward of the Capes of Virginia, met with, and took up, in great distress Capt John Green of Kent county and his two hands in a small Schooner bound to this port from North Carolina with a cargo of beaver fur, wax and tallow. Two days before he lost a third hand, his main mast, all his sails, boat and cabouse in a violent Gale of Wind and part of his deck was tore up by the falling of his mast. Capt Allison with great difficulty got them into his ship, the sea then running prodigious high, and lay by the vessel all night, expected the weather to moderate that he might have the cargo; but the storm still continuing so no more of her, but suppose the must soon have sunk, as there was a great deal of water in her when he took out the people.

Carr out of ship on Wednesday night, but armed men &c.] being too long to be inserted in this week's paper, the publication of it must be postponed.

1782 - 17 Aug 1782 - Symmetry Flag-ship, in the Delaware, Aug 13, 1782: After a passage of several weeks, arrived from Plymoth in England, the flag of truce ship Symmetry, Captain Maxwell. She is one of two flags bound for this port (three others have sailed for Boston) and has brought 216 of our fellow-citizens from captivity in Britain, amongst whom is Captain John Green of Philadelphia. The feelings of this gentlman for his unfortuante and distressed countrymen in captivity, augmented by the very essential services he rendered them, must ever be acknowledged with the utmost gratitude. He clothed the naked, fed the hungry, and administered comfort to the sick and afflicted; nor were the objects that presented themselves on his commitment a few, nor his bounty the less generous. He was not less attentive to the improvement of their morals, and the ???? of their youth, as through his application, assiduly and attention, several reverend, respectable, dissenting Clergymen were permitted to visit them, and preach the gospel in the prisons on Sundays. By these means they acquired manny good and useful books from the several pastors who voluntarily attended them. This had an equally salutary effect, as it tended to undeceive the deluded people of Britain, who, from the misrepresentation of their then governors, were much prejudiced against our countrymen. In short, in every apparent respect, where the honor or credit of our republic were concerned, under whose flag he bears a commission, he always demeand himself in such a manner as justly entitles him to the good will and thanks of his country. The circumstances of most of those people are so reduced as to render it immediately impracticable for them to make any return for favors received, other than a dutiful, thankful and public acknowledgement of the many obligations they are under to that very worthy and respectable fellow-citizen.

1785 - 10 Sep 1785 - a letter inserted into the newspaper: New-York, 19 May, 1785, SIR, The first vessel that has been fitted out by the inhabitants of the United States of America for essaying a commerces with thole of the Empire of China, being by the favor of Heaven, safe returned to this part, i becomes my duty to communicate to you, for the information of the fathers of the country, and account of the reception their citizens have met with, and the respect with which their flag has been treated in that distant region especilly as some circumstances have occurred, which had a tendency to attract the attention of the Chinese, towards a people of whom they have higherto had but very confused ideas, and which served, in a peculiar manner, to place the Americans in a more conspecuous point of view, that has commonly attended the introduction of other nations in that ancient and extensive empire. The ship employed on this occasion is bout three hundred and sixty tons burthen, built in America, and equipped with fourty three persons, under the commoand of John Green, Esq. The subscriber had the honor of being apoointed agent for their commerce, by the gentlemen at whole risque this first experiment has been undertaken. On the 22d of February 1784, the ship sailed from New-York, and arrived 21 March at St. Jago, the principle of the Cape de Verd islands. Having paid our respects to the Portuguese Viceroy, and with his permission taken such refreshments as were necessary, we left those islands on the 27th, and pusued our voyage. After a pleasant passage, in which nothing extraordinary occurred, we came to anchor in the streight of Sunda on the 18th of July. It was no small addition to our happiness on this occasion to meet there two ships belonging to our good allies the French. The Commodore M. D'Ordelin & his officers welcomed us in the most affectionate manner & as his on ship was immideiately bount to Canton, gave us an invitition to go in company with him. This friendly offer we most cherfully accepted, and the Commodore furnished us with his figures by day and night, and added such instructions for our passage thro' the Chinese Sea, as would have been exceedingly beneficial, had any unfortuate accident ocassioned our separation. Happily we pursued our route together. On our arrival at the island of Macao, the French Consul for China, Monsieur Viellard, with some other gentlemen of his nation came on board to congratuate and welcom us to that part of the world, and kindly undertook the introduction of the Americans to the Portuguese governor. The little time that we were there, was entirely taken up by the good offices of the consul and the gentlemen of his nation, and those of the Swedes and Imperiahsls, who full remained at Macao. The other Europeans had repaired to Canton. Three days afterwards we finished our outward bound voyage. Previous to coming to anchor, we saluted the shipping in the river with thirteen guns, which were answered by the several commodores of the European nations, each of whom sent an officer to complement us on our arrival. These fists were returned by the Captain and Supercargoe, in the afternoon; who were again saluted by the respctive ships, as they find their ship. When the French sent their officers to congratulated us, they added to the obligations we were under to them, by furnishing men, boats and anchors, to assist us in coming to safe and convenient moorings. Nor did their good offices stop here; they furnished us with part of their hanksall, and insisted that until we were settled, we should take up our quarters with them at Canton. The day of our arrival at Canton, August 30, and the two following days, we were visted by the Chinese merchants, and the chiefs and gentlemen of the several European establishments.—The Chinese were very indulgent towards us; they stiled us as the New People; and when by the map we conveyed to them an idea of the extent of our country, with its present and increasing population, they were highly please at the prospect of so considerable a market for the productions of their's. The situation of the Europeans at Canton is so well known as to render a detail unnecessary. The good understanding commonaly ??? between them and the Chinese, was in some degree interrupted by two extraordinary occurrences, of which I will, with your permission, give a particular account. "The police at Canton, is at all times extremely strict, and the Europeans residing there are circumscribed within very narrow limits. The latter had observed ??? concern some circumstances which they deemed an encroachment upon their rights. On this consideration they determined to apply for redress to the Hoppo, who is the head officer of the customes, the next time he should visi the shipping. Deputies accordingly attended from every nation, and I was desired to represent our's. We met the Hoppo on board an English ship, and the ??? of complaint were soon after removed. The other occurances, of which I beg leave to take notice, gave rise to what was commonly called the Canton war, which threatened to be productive of very serious consequences. On the 25th November an English ship, in saluting some company that had dined on board, killed a Chinese, and wounded two others in the Mandarin's boat along side. It is a maxim of the Chinese law, that blood must answer for blood in persuiance of which they demanded the unfortunate gunner. To give up the poor man was to consign him to certain death.—After repeated conferences between the English and the Chinese, the latt declared themselves satisfied and the affair was supposedl to be entirely settled. Notwithstanding this, on the morning after the last conference (th 27th) the Supercargo of the ship was siezed while attending his business, thrown into a sedan chair, hurried into the city, and committed to prison. Such an outrage on personal liberty spread a general alarm and the Europeans unanimously agree to send for their boats, with armed men from their slipping, for the security of themeselves and property, until the matter should be brought to a conclusion. The boats accordingly came, and ours among the number; one of which was fired on and a man wounded. All traids was stopped, and the Chinese men of war drawn up opposite the factories The Europeans demanded the resortion of Mr. Simth, which the Chinese refused, until the gunner should be given up. In the mean while, the troops of the province were collecting in the neighborhood of Canton—the Chinese servants were ordered by the magistrates to leave the factories—the gates of the suburbs were shut—all intercourse was at an end—the naval force was encreased—many troops were embarked in boats, ready for landing—and everything wore the appearance of war. To who extermities matters might have been carried, had not a negociation taken place, no one can say. The Chinese asked a conference with all the nations, except the English. A deputation, (in which I was included for America) net the Fuen, who is the head magistrate of Canton, with the principal officers of the province. After setting forth, by an interpreter, the pwer of the emperor, and his own determination to support the laws, he demanded that the gunner should be given up within three days, that he should have an impartial examination before their tribunal, and if it appeared that the affair was accidental, he should be released unhurt. In the meantime he gave permission for the trade (excepting that of the English) to go on as usual; and dismissed us with a present of two piences of silk to each, as a mark of his friendly disposition. The other nations one after another, sent away their boats under protection of a Chinese flag, and pursued their business as before. The English were obliged to submit—the gunner was given up—Mr. Smith was released—and the English, after being force to ask pardon of the magistracy of Canton, in presence of the other nations, had their commerce restored. On this occasion, I am happy that we were the last to sent off our boat, and that without a Chinese flag; nor did she go till the English themeselves thanked us for our concurrence with them, and advised the sending her wway. After peace was restored, the chief and four English gentlemen visited the several nation (among whom we were included) and thanked them for our assistance during the troubles—the gunner remained with the Chinese, his fate undetermined. Not withstanding the treatment we received from all parties, was perfectly civil and respectful, yet it was with peculiar satisfaction that we experinced on every occasion from our good allies the French, the most flattering and substantial proofs of their friendship. "If, said they, we have in any instance been serviceable to you, we are happy;—and we desire nothing more ardently than further opportunities to convince you of our affection." We left Canton, the 27 of Decmember and on our return, refreshed at the Campe of Good Hope, were we found a most friendly reception—after remaining there five days, we sailed for America, and arrived in this port the 11th instant. To every lover of his country, as well as to those more immediately concerned in commerce, it must be a pleasing reflection, that a communication is thus happily opened between us and the eastern extremem of the globe; and it adds very sensibly to our pleasure of this reflection, that the voyage has been pefromed in so short a space of time, and attended with the loss only of one man. To captian Green and his officers every commendation is due for their unwearied & successful endeavours in bringing it to this most fortunate issue, which fully justifies the confidence reposed in them, by the gentlemen concerned in the enterprize. Permit me, sir, to accompany this letter with the two piences of silk, presented to me by the Fuen of Canton, as a mark of his good disposition towards the American nation. In that view I consider myself as peculiarly honored in being charged with this testimony of the friendship of the Chinese for a people, who may in a few years prosecute a commerce with the subjects of that empire, under advantages equal, if not superior, to those enjoyed by any other nation whatever. I have the honor to be, with the most perfect respect, sir, your most obedient, and very humble servant SAMUEL SHAW {To the honorable the Minister of the Untied States for Foreign Affairs} Mr. Jay laid this letter and the two pieces of silk mentioned in it before Congress: they were preased to return the silk to Mr. Shaw, and ordered Mr. Jay to inform him, "that they felt a peculiar satisfaction in the successful issue of the first effort of the citizens of America, to establish a direct trade with China, which do so much honor to us undertakers and conductors."

1787 - 12 Jul 1787 - Philadelphia, July 12 A courious experemtn well worth the Notice and Attention of every Farmer in America - Joseph Cooper, esquire, of New Jersey, planted in his garden, fourteen greains of wheat that was brought from the Cape of Good Hope, in the ship Empress of China, Captain John Green, in the year 1783. Seven grains of which were lost by some accident; the produce of the remain seven grains, he sowed in the fall of 1786, at the same time, and in the same field, that he sowed his common wheat, but carefully kept them apart; by which experiment, he found that the Cape wheat came to perfection at least ten days earlier than the wheat of this country, and its quality to escel any thing of the sort introduced amongst us. After threshing and cleaning he measure it and found one bushel and five-eights of a bushel, which weighed 109 pounds avirdupoisse, which is something more than sixty-seven pounds four ounces per bushel. Of 1000 grains of the wheat taken as they came to hand, the larges weighted thirty-three penny-weights troy; form which data we find the whole quantity to amount to 874,438 grains, the number contained in a bushel, Winchester measure, to contain 538,116 grains—an increase almost beyond conception.
