A letter from Bartholomew de Fonte, vice-admiral of Peru and Mexico; giving an account of his voyage from Lima in Peru, to prevent, or seize upon any ships that should attempt to find a north-west passage to the South Sea. II. An abstract of all the discoveries which have been publish’d of the islands and countries in and adjoining to the Great Western Ocean, between America, India, and China, &c. pointing out the advantages that may be made, if a short passage should be found thro’ Hudson’s streight to that ocean.
