The Potomac passed the Strait of Sunda in March, eighteen 
hundred and thirty two. The following is a list of the whole 
nuniber of -vessels which were reported at Anger, or Anjere, a 
village on the Java shore, as having passed the strait in the 
same year, viz : — Dutch, fifty-eight out, fifty-four home ; English, 
twenty-eight out, twenty-seven home ; American, twenty-nine 
out, twenty-nine home ; French, two out, one home ; Hamburgh, 
two out, one home ; Russian, one out ; Swedish, one out ; Danish, 
one home. Total reported, two hundred and thirty-eight. This 
list is doubtless imperfect, as many that passed without touching 
at Anger could not have been reported ; but it shows the great 
proportion of American vessels trading in these seas.
