7!JRMM;47; 4, SIA .• . THE ARMY. THE ARCTIC LAIII)A •IMMINNIII. . . Copy of ea nttoweing letter froemane of cars on the Expedition now travelling in of North America, toward) the.shores, Ocean, dated at Sea, August V, " After passing the Southern named Cape Farewell, we met . it did not Lay thick, little difficulty in forcing a way through it, nor did an impediment as the contrary winds . ,con tinued to thwart us. Near the Greenland coast, the , streams or fields of ice consisted of a collection of loose and comparati c :/ e i t lat pieces , more or less densely compacted t , according to the of the weather ; but on approaching the shores ofLa brador we fell in with many icebergs, or large gloat-, ing fields of ice. The variety of forms assumed by these masses afforded us amusement, bot occasionally we saw some of such an enormous size, that every, other feeling give place to astonishment. One of these larger berg we estimated to be 200 feet high above the water, and above half a mile is length; Ito, surface was broken .by mountains of no mean size s , with deep rallies between. Enormous as these di-. mensions must appear, you will be more surprised . when I inform you that the part of an iceberg which projects above water, amounts only to a ninth part' of the whole mass, that being the proportion of ice which floats above salt water. Arthur's Seat, near Edinburgh, clothed with snow, would have fo r m e d , only one pinnacle to this berg. When these bo •I s became familiar to us from their frequency, w de lived much pleasure from the various sha and gradations of colour they exhibited. The m corn pact parts were generally of a bright verdigris hue, towards the base a fine sea green prevailed—here and them a tint of red was seen, and the summits alone were snow-white. As the part of theice which is covered by the sea decays more rapidly than that which is in the air, it often happens that one of these islands becomes top-heavy, and tumbles over. We never saw one is the act of making this revolution ; but most of them bore evident marks of having . been overturned twice or thrice, the old water-lines inter secting each other in various directions, being still deeply engraved on their surfaces. " We first beheld the land (Resolution Island) dur-, ing a fog, which soon became so thick t ha t we could' not see the length of the ship. In consequence of this, we got involved in a field of ice; then, to add to our distress, it fell calm, and although we -could perceive that we were carried along by a violent current, yet the fog deprived us of ascertaining its direction, .. the depth of water was too treat to admit of our anchoring. After remaining in this situation for two or three hours, receiving occasionally some heavy blows from the ice, an alarm was given that we were close on the rocks. We all ran upon deck, and be held a tremendous cliff frowning directly over the mast-heads of the ship. It was perfectly perpendi cular, covered in many places by sheets of ice, and its summit was so high, and shrouded in so thick a fog, that it could not be traced from the deck. We had scarcely time to make any useful exertions, for in a few minutes the ship fell broadside against the cliff, along the fate of which she was violently hur ried ,y the current towards a ridge of broken rocks, which soon would 'have torn the stoutest vessel- to pieces. The heavy swell which prevailed, caused the ship, in her passage, to beat against various rocky ledges -which projected under water. Oue of the blows -he thus sustained, drove the rudder out Of its plats---:rut it fortunately hung suspended by a tack ling % hich had been employed to secure it on coming amongst the ice. At this instant, when all human exertions seemed perfectly fruitless, the current eddied off shore, the land breeze sprung up, a boat that we . had put overboard succeeded in taking us in tow, and what appeared almost miraculous—one of the last thumps the ship received caused the rudder to fall back into its place. By this combination of fa vourable circumstances, we succeeded in getting round the point we so much dreaded ; and, setting all sail, we steered from the *land. Upon the first alarm of danger, the women and children, of whom we had i a large number on board, going to Lord Sel kirk's colony, rushed upon deck much terrified. The Officers, however, succeeded in calming their fears, and prevailed on.them to go below, out of the way of the sailors; but scarcely had this been effected, when the current carried us against a large iceberg which had grounded upon a ridge of sunken rocks, that lay at some distance from the shore. The crash of the masts and yards, together with the grinding of the ship's side against the ice, terrified them more than ever, but we speedily got clear of this second danger without receiving further damage. Our troubles were not, however, at an end ; the ship had received ' so much damage, whilst on the rocks, that, on exa mination, a great deal of water was found in th hold._ All hands were instantly set to the pumps, but, to our mortification, we found that the water rushed in faster than we_could, with every exertion, discharge it. Affairs now wore a gloomy aspect ; the water in the hold increased to upwards of five feet, and the men were getting tired of the pumps, when, fortunately, the weather cleared up a little, and We saw the Eddystone, one of the vessels that ae compenied us, at no great distance; we bore down, and informed theni odour situation. Every assistance in their power was promptly supplied ; they sent twenty men and two carpenters. The services of the latter were invaluable, as our own carpenter had died is the earlier part of the voyage. With thii fresh accession of strength, wo kept the leak from L joining upon us ; and after some time, the carpenters succeeded in discovering and patching up the broken ,so as sensibly to diminish the in fl ux of water. Their operations were, however, slow ; and it was not until the evening of the second day , that we suc ceed ed in getting all the water out of the ship.— During the whole of this time, not only the Officers and men worked hard, but many of the women, re covering their spirits, proved eminently useful at the pumps. As the water decreased, the carpenters were enabled' the more readily to repair the damage that had been sustained; and.thiy ultimately succeeded so well, that one pump aFonsol. sufficient to discharge the water as fast as it key. la. In this state we have Continued ever since. " In these Straits the Hudson% Bay vessels are ge nerallyvisited by a tribe of Escluitoasta, who frequent the shores diving the summer, and come off to t,he ships for the purpose of harming their whole wesilh, recd consists- in whale and - seal blubber, - for iron; Seal Return to an Order of the House of; states the total amount of Recruits raised Britain and Ireland for the land forces, flora of October, 1818, to the 25th of October, 5071, of which 256 are for limited service, remainder for unlimited service. ires are concerting for raising a Corps of • Infantry, under the auspices of some of the spectable residents in Iscedsand its neighbour. and many persons have already given in their A gnat ~.... . disappoil A whet' they missed us. In a short time, we were surrounded by thirty or forty tames,. each carrying one man, with his small ca ormerchandize, which , to ther Ireac satiafaciion, sey speedily exchanged for pieces of iron, hoops, k , saws, atchets, and harpoons, and tin-pots. The wind conunuing contrary the re mainder of the day, we stood in towards the land, and gave the women of the.tribir an opportunity to come off, which they did in five large canoes, framed like the large one, of skins, - but open, and each capa ble of carrying from twenty to thirty people. The, oars were pulled by women, but there was an old man in each boat to direct them. As they brought off a great many children, I suppose we saw the whole tribe, amounting to nearly 200 persons. " The features of the Esquimau: are not the regular in the world; but it was pleasing to see - theti flat, fat, greasy faces. When they. had disposed of their artic le s of trade, we -presented the women an child um with a few needles, beads, and otheetrinkets, and seat them away highly delighted. Since that I time, we have been contending - against contrary winds—but by perseverance have succeeded in get ting within a few days sail of York factory, at which place I shall conclude and dispatch.

Ha was immediately arrested, and the day brought before the Royal Court, and sen tmeed to pay a fine to the King, and LICI damages the merchant.

The Norman Isles, although part of the Realm of England, are still part of dominions of the King of Great Britain. letter from Baugundee, dated May 23, in a late Calcutta Journal, contains the following shocking re -1:•••••41 About five o'clock in the afternoon of Toes , the 20th instant, some of my servants came run tag into the room in the greatest alarm, saying that alligator had jut taken away a boy, about four teen years of age, from one of the ghauts near the Ise. Every b ody near the place were seen run g to the ghaut, to which place I proceeded , in -company with a Gentleman, as fast as possible, in the hopes of rendering some assistance. A little after we arrived at , the river side, one among the vast unm - of natives collected cried out that he could see it, d on looking down the river, at a short distance, clearly saw the alligator, with the WY in his south; shortly after which he disappeared, then rose again, and elevating himself, with his head oat of the i Aster three or four feet, he still held the boy in his mouth by the hand, and tossed him from one side to the other in the air, with the greatest violence and rage; then dashing him on the surface of the water, with the intention, as we supposed, of dislocating .is bones, in order the more easily to gorge him.— This Ise repeated several times, but nothing at the ..ioment could be done. . • In the hope of saving the boy's life, every thing was thought of to recover the body, and people were sent off for fishermen residing war the place; but above an hour expired before they came with boats aid .drag-lines. On their *- rival, we provided diem with these, in the hope of obtaining the boy ; and after dragging with the line 4p and down the river, near the place where they were last seen, we succeeded in hooking up both boy and alligator. The latter, however, made his escape, but the body of the boy was secured, and though dreadfully mangled, with the loss of head and shoul ders, was brought per shore, and delivered to the parents for burial. The boats were again sent out, and again caught the alligator; but in drawing him to the surface of the water to harpoon him, he broke the lines, and got away a second tune. It being then very late in the evening, nothing more could be done —but the fishermen requested to attend the next morning to make another attempt. The alligator, as far as we mold jutliw, was &bait twelve or thir teen feet long." IRELAND. TUAM, Dacwza 13.—With feelings of the most sincere satisfaction, we. have this day the pleasing duty of stating,. that the hitherto creeping spirit or, cfisaffectica, which, was beginning to shew -itself our county, has been completely crushed ; and that; too, at a time when it was about to rear a form idable . head, and to link closely the People to 'QM another p , by the tacred obligation clan oath. It will, no doubt, be asked, how aris Could be done without the aid of a .military force, and an unceaiing attention of the Magistracy ? In reply, we will state, that it hat been nearly completed without the assistant* of either,by the indefatigable seal evinced by Our. Raman Catholic Archbishop, the Mast Reverend Dr. lc:Mutts, and the other Clergy of his diocese. No sooner did it come to the knowledge of his Grace that the wolf of sedition had come in among his Rock, than he, like a good shepherd, came forward to protect his sheep, and. to driver this cruel enemy 'from them. • He lost not a moment in arming . himself with the proper -weapons of attack, and instantly commenced war aoast him, aided by his Clergy; and so powerfully , did he play on the hearts and minds of . his flock, with the force of his preaching. that he. blithe course of a few.weeks, ,completely put a strip to the self thought career of this destructive tyrant. At the risk f his life, he went to the places where this midnight Nark was said to be carrying on, and exhorted them very feelingly ; pointed out the enormity of their crime, and the punishment which must, :cotter or laterjollow.
