CABOT. SEBASTIAN, wai UM aoo of John Cabot or Oabotto, a 

 natiT* of Vwioa, who rdd oceaaioaally in England, and of whom 

 . mor* U known than that h* wa. a wealthy, iuUlligrot merchant, 

 food of maritim* duooT.ry. 8*ba>Uan wai bom at Brirtol about 

 I waa eariy hMtrootod in geography, naTigation, and matbe- 

 Whan only 19 year, of an, h. wai included with hi. two 

 broth, ia a patent, dated tth of March. 1 4SM5. granted by Honry VII. 

 to John Cabot hi* father, for toe diaoorery and oooqneat of unknown 

 laada. About a year after the date of tb* patent, Sebartian Cabot 

 aaOed (.pparentiy with hi* father) io a .hip equipped at BrUtol, 

 named the JUtth.w. and on UM S4th of June be Ant taw North 

 America, probably UM coast of Labrador, about lak 66*. It ha* 

 geomlly been atated that thi. fint-dUooTered Und wa. Newfound- 

 and, and that it wa* named by Cabot, 1'rima Vuta; but it appear, 

 tb. cauM of th. error wa* a miatranelation by Hakluyt of a 

 in Utin appended to a map of America drawn by Cabot 

 The demotion ghren in that document cannot poaiibly refer 

 to Newfoundland, but may apply very well to the ooart of Labrador. We 

 MT* no account of thi* royaga furthrr than th* discovery iteelf, but 

 t appear* probable that Cabot returned to England immediately ; an 

 opinion which receive* aom* rapport from an entry in the priry 

 puna expenM. of Henry VIL, ' 10th August 1497 To hym that 

 bund the aew lale 10T Thi* i* itUl further confirmed by the patent 

 of 3rd of February 1498, granting to John Kabotto permieiion to 

 take tix ihip* in any haTcn of the realm, of the burden of 200 ton* 

 aod under, "tooonrey aiid lode to th* Loud* and Ile* of late found* 

 .T the *i<i John in our* nme and by our commaundemente," lie. 

 It U difficult to aaiign to each of the C.boU (a father and three ion.) 

 ui. exact part in theee diacoviriei, but Sebattian leeou alway. to hare 

 been cuoudered the mo.t aeirntific uarigator of the family. Another 

 voyag* wa* m*d* by Cabot, according to the term, of thi* pataut, but 

 we have no d.tail. a* to it* reaulU ; aod a third voyag* appear* to 

 liar* been made to tb* Gulf of Mexico in 1409. About thin time it 

 i* (uppoaed that John Cabot died, but there U no record of hi. death, 

 nor U anything whatever known of Sobactian Cabot for the next 

 twelve year*. Soon after the death of Henry VII. Cabot wa. cent for 

 by Ferdinand king of Spain, in which country he nrrived in September 

 1512, and immediately received the title of Captain, with a lib.-ral 

 .alary. It appear, from SpanUh authorities, that Cabot wa* diagustod 

 with th* waut of oooaideratioo *hown him in Enghuxl. No .pecific 

 dutie. appear to have been at first aiaigncd to Cabot in Spain ; but we 

 find him in 1515 connected with a general reUion of map* and chart*, 

 aod holding the dignified .tation of member of the council of the Indir*. 

 U* wa* al*o appointed to conduct an important expeditiuu fur IR>W di- 

 ooveri*. toward* the we*t ; but the deatti of Ferdinand, in the beginning 

 of 1S1, prevented th. aooompluhment of the plan. The new king of 

 Spain, CbarUa V., wa* occupied eUewherr, and did not roach 

 for wm* time, during which the court wai a aoene of *h*meles* in- 

 trigue. Fooetoa, the enemy of Columbiu, wa* in authority, anil the 

 alighte he and hi. creature* put upon Cabot canted the latter to 

 return to England. In 1517 Cabot wa* employed by Henry VIII., in 

 connection with Sir Thoma* Perto, to make another attempt at a 

 oorth-weat paenge. On thi* voyage be reached lat 071', and it 

 most hav* been on thi* oooaiion that he entered Hudion * Bay, " ud 

 gave Engliih name* to aondry place* therein." But of thi., like all 

 th* r**t of Cabot** di*ooveri*a, no detail* have been preserved, and 

 even th* whole voyage ha* been referred to the aouth initead of the 

 north. It U only known that the malice or timidity of Sir Thoma. 

 Pert*, and th* mutinous conduct of bi* crew, compelled him to return. 



After U>i voyig* Cabot again vUited Spain, where he WM named by 

 '. Pilot Major of the kingdom, and intruited with the duty of 



. hart v 



critically examining all project* of voyage* of discovery. At thi 

 the view* of advanturan were chiefly directed to the outh, nn>l !,. 

 Molucca lil.nd. were pointed out a* a valuable field for enterpriM. 

 Portugal having earnestly ropretrnted that the limit* auigned to her 

 by the pop* in hi* divUion of the New World would Include the 

 Molucca*, it wa* rewired tbat a aolemn conference ibould teko pluce, 

 in which all partie* .houlil .tete their claims, and experienced men 

 hould attend for th* purpoee of reference. Cabot i* at the bead of 

 thi* Iwt. in which we alao find Krrdinund Columbus, HOD of the great 

 Columbu*. The conference wa* held at Hadajoz, in April IS'24, and by 

 the end of May eanteno* wai pronounced that the Molucca* were 

 within the SpaoUh dtvidon of the world. The Portuguea* retired in 

 diagiwt, talking of preparing an expedition to deitroy any Spani.h or 

 other vestal which should venture to trad* within the diiputod territory. 

 Immediately after the deci.ion, a company wa* formed at Seville* to 

 proaeeute th. trado to the Molucca*, and Cabot wa* lolicited to take 

 th. command. l)y an unfurtunat. (election, the penoni wbo were 

 put in command immediately under Cabot were peraonally hostile to 

 him. 1 be .xp*<liUon sailed io April 1526, and proceeded to CTOM the 

 Atlantic. On the Brazilian ooaat a daring mutiny, excited by hi* 

 offioem, oompelled him to resort to the extremity of putting on shore
