They are dated July 28, at which time the Isabella and the Alexander were iu lat. 75 deg. 30 min. N., long. 60 deg. 30 (nip., W.well, over to the American coast, the weather st- - ene and perfectly clear. The variative of the compass, by accurate ob." aervitions repeatedly made on board both ships, wee 89 dig. anci the dip 81 deg. 30 min., which led them to conclude, that they were approaching very nearly to the magnetic pole. It had been perfectly calm : theses was as.smooth as glass for three or four days, and the Current drifted them to the South-eastward. which raised their hopes of an open passage round the point of America, from which quarter it appeared to proceed. All the way up the middle of Davis' Straits they skirted an unbroken field of ice on the left, but as they proceeded it became thinner and apparently rotten, and they were sanguine that the moment the breeze sprung up, the ice to the westward would open to them a passage, and allow them to reach the northern shores of America. The utmost harmony prevailed among the Officers and every part of the ship's company, and all were in perfecs health. — Stich is the substance of the accounts which we have been able to learn. There are abundance of private letters to the friends and relations -of these who have embarked in this most important and interesting en terprise. .The following is an extract of oats with which we balm been politely favoured : His Majr.ty*.

Dear D—,—This is our last opportunity this year, therefore I could not let it pass without writing, al though .nothing has passed since my last. We are now to the northward of all the ships that are fishing; we see some a long way a-stern : the boat with dis patches is going immediately to one of them ; they have followed a great way this year, and have been very kipd in giving us every assistance when in the ice ; I sincerely wish them all safe back ; they have along way to go through the ice. The coast begin, .to look more and more miserable; as we get north, it has more the appearance of a chain of ice mountains than land ; the sea is one solid field of ice as far as the eye can reach. When the wind blows from the north, we find narrow passages in it, and through . 'them we pass on, sometimes the whole of our men ere on the ice, dragging the ship along the edge of the Haws. From the very great variation, we cannot be c great way from the magnetic pole; you will see the variation by oar last observation oo the ice at the head of the letter. P.S I cannot yet. say any thing about the sdccess of our voyage ; the season I think is favourable. — Yowl Ns-- and 1 bad a long bunt after a very large bear the other day, but he got away from tis.— I 'ball have some long stories to tell you when I see you neat.

MR. lIIIAT AND THE I VEIV TIMES. S. - - Saturday Mr. Henry Mal preferred a bill of in dietevent before the Grand Jury of the City of Lon don against Mr. Andrew Mitchell, the printer of the New Times, and Ed card Quinn, Esq. and Dr. Stod. dart, the proprietors of the said Paper, for a libel. The Grand Jury, after much deliberation, foetid a true hill against the parties. Mr. Hunt afterwards Kent into the Coorfiweibe Old Bailey, and was proceeding to address the Corn. num Serjesot, who presided there as Judge,. but Mr: Alley being in a coese.would not suffer the business of the Court to be interrupted.

Mr. COMMON SERJEANT.—The Court will make no such order, it is not a libel of great public im portance, but relates merely to an individual; end the Court can perceive the object of .this application is to obtain a warrant on Saturday night to Inconve nience the Defendants. • Mr. HUNT.—My Lord, the intention was not that suggested by the Court, but I apply, as a matter of right, for a warrant, ' Mr. COMMON SERJEarn.—Are - not the persons re. sident io the city ? and can you 'weir there is any reason to believe they will abscond ? Mr. HllNT.—Lcannot make any such affidavit. Mr. COMMON SERJEANT.—Then the Court will not girder the warrant to issue; had you consulted Counsel they would not have pressed such an appli cation. • - M. ITUNT.—T have , consulted Counsel before I came here, and was informed, that the motion I make for a warrant, of 48 hours' notice of bail, is the usual course, and I ask whether your Lordship will, in this case, refuse it to me?
