Advertisement.—In a Preface to the Narrative (which was mislaid by the Bookbinder), Capt Golownin states, That the Events which led to his three years Captivity in Japan - were as follows - He commanded a Sloop of War that was ordered to explore the almost unknown seas of Japan. The Russian Government had founded a Maratune City & Port on the extreme Borders of its vast dominions called Okotzk - It lay to the southward of Kamtscatka - and nearly opposite the city of Matsma, the Capital of the Japan Island of that name. Golownin accordingly explored the seas & coasts of that island, but while he brought his ship into a specious Bay to wood & water - He, together with three of his Officers, and ten seamen went on shore, - The Japanese met them & received them with apparent hospitality, by which the were thrown off their guard when the Enemy suddenly surrounded them with an armed Force, obliged them to surrender, & confined them in the Fort: Meanwhile Cap. Rikord, the remaining officer who now commanded the Diana, used every possible means to procure their release, but in vain, he was obliged to depart from the Bay of Deceit, & return to Okotzk. The unfortunate Russians - were marched to Matsma - from whence - not being closely confined or guarded - They effected their escape - The narrative then goes on to describe the various adventures the encountered &c'
