PARIS, I'LL The Precursor publishes the following extract of a letter from Toulon, rd the Ist cr. January " Orders bate been received here to make new con tramfor the supply of all the articles necessary for a Maritime expedurop. A pretty considerable number of, teariaports have been again hired; seviral are in the port or road. and some more ate expected from Mar-! seilles. A great quantity of forage has been already embarked in four transports. which are intended for the conveyance rf mules. It is found that these which are mare easily maintained than horses, andi better calculated to endure great fatigue, were in evert respect more suitable, whether they are to be seat to the More/ or the coast of Africa. 44 An expedition against Algiers is still talked of. In fact, it does not appear what other object the Govern. ment could have in assembling at Toulon a great num ber of transports. Undoubtedly they are not intended fur the Moist* Oor troops there .have supplies for sometime. andthe transports which are at Mimi° are sulkiest for the use of the army. Is is intended to Dude:take an expedition against the island of Candies ? This may be, if she object is int Algieze." . • (The course oi eachange of the 9th. pot . strived. and the Goarlie it :Mee doom not quote later than the Bth of January.) The last account received. at St. Petershurgh of the voyage of discovery ; under the command of Captain Lake, holds out the.prospect of great additions-to oar geographical and nautical knowledge. The expedition had instructions to sail to the harbour of St. Peter and Se. Paul, Kanstschatka, and thence to visit, in the win ter, the Caroline.. and, in the summer, to examine the regions in, and at the other side of, Behring's Straits. The first part of this expedition has been happily ac ,eomplished, during a cruise of seven months-near the equator, batistes the 6rst and tenth degrees of north latiende. -A letter from Dr. Martens, ',manila to the ospedision, cnntains.the fdlowing particulars: "Our ship, the Soniavin. sailed from the harbour of Sc. P.-ter and Sts Paul on the 19th 01 October, last year, 'and arrived on the 22.1 November off the island of Ooalan. which was rediscovered by Captain Dupirey. ,act the Coquille, in 1824, where we had the pleasure of - b coming acquainted with a people in the purest stoteof mitotic, who bed remained hitherto unknowns, and were wholly unacquainted with Europeans; who differed even in language !tom all the other inhabitants of the Carolines ; wh o, t) all appearance. never had any in. tone.itte se with.the other Wan 's, and have hithetto lived in such patriarchal simplicity, that not siogle weapon, nor any thing tatembling a weapon, was met with in the whole island. 'lli. 1r as the more surprising, as it soon appeared that the Governri.ent of ahe place was' atirtocratic. and several Chiefs considered themselves a. masters of the island, and who, therefore, newt cop steady live in peace and harmony. Their complexion is of a bright Woven. the arms and thighs wooed, their hair in a bunch braided together triion the he rif. and adorned with flowers; their features resemble those of the Malays. Leery thing proved that they did not know what hostility was. Our Naturalists found them the . mat faitlitul guides on their excursions. and the most careful keepers of the insects and plants which they. collie:ed. One of tl err Chiefs. named Sipa, . ffered them his dwelling for their re•idence; sod hem also they had an opportunity of making them selves acquainted with the domestic arran i oments of tne inisabitairts. The Ooalanese are particularly dis tinguished from the inhabitants of the other Corolinee by being entirely free from the prnpensity to stealing. They treat their women with great kindness and affen•: mos. We could not obtain any clear swamit► of the telit gion of these people. Their diet coniisti et btead fruit, bananas, sugar cane, cocoa outs, ashoripes. pi geon.. and s .me wild Enwl. As far as we could Icon the island is divided into between finty and bay dis trict., each of which contains several villages, and belongs to a chief. Several of thise Chiefs live on a small island, separatiel.frons the rest of the inhabitalts. One of them was treated with particular reverence; hi might be considered, in some measure, as the king• of the whole. We could not discover 111:w be came to enj y this bonour—it certainly was to t far his wealth, for his Majesty pooessed only two villages, while another chief had eight." Afer remaining three weeks among these peoPle. "nose natural innocence ia so ami.hle, the Siniaviii continu-d its voyage Dec.2o. Oa the 2d of Jan. 1828, they discovered a new group of blonds. the. highest and also the la•vst of all the arolines, r scept the Pei lew Islands. T;.e ship cruised eight days an ong these islands, but no attempt to land was made, because the iiileatiliants appeared very hostile. Wham the Siniavia put sir a boat to :ook for an anchorage r landing place, it was immediately su•rounded try ot*er the crews rf which used yes y menacing yesiuies. They carried short 'pears, headed with teeth of the saw.6sh. aed a sling made of plated eushes.

Notwithstanding the beautiful appearance of there fine lofty istairds,:the humane Capt Lucke would not at enipt to land, because it was ev Went that it could not be d;srie without bloodshed. The n sturalists weie there fore disippnintei in their espected harvest, and the Si. niavia proceeded on her voyage. A. dog was all that the) cat tied away. The letter continues— • " Ois the 13th of January. we de.c.ieJ Los Valientes, low, ' miserable islands, the w retched inhabitants o which did not appeal even to .prissess 'boats.

Our good forefathers did not think with levity on the subject of witchcraft. They had as strong a faith in it at the least, as in the m)steries of our holy teligiie and when a poor devil accused of sorcery fell into the hands t f the gentlemen of the Parliament, he did not g,t off with imprisonment and the pillory. Woe to the fatitic who ti-ought of making a compact with tie Evil One. He was certainly hanged and choked until death ensued, and sometimes even burnt alive; and all 'this was by the authority of Parliament. 'Thus. on the 17th Nlay,l6 16 s the Parliament of Paris condenued three inhabitants hf Berry to mae the (mimic honorable, and afterwards to be hanged and choked for thwct tire sorcery, of . frequeitting 11:e nocturnal meetings of the witches, and of prac.i.ing.with the devil.

The next day, however, Pcrcher went to Ittirant's, and blamed them for their fears, telling them to come to his hou e, where they se ould find the Black Virgin s who perhaps would I ropo,e another means of finding the treasure.
