J, __ - • ~~J THE STATESM4N pROGRASS OF THR LAND ARCTIC EXPR.: DITION, UNDER LIEUT. JOIIN FRANKLIN, R. N. S3lO after the expedition under Lieut. Franklin had arrived on the coast of Hudson's Bay, they proceeded from York Factory, the grand depot of the Hudson's Bay Company, towards their wintering ground at Cumberland, the central post of the interior, a dis tance of Atom 900 miles from the coast'. Lieutenant Franklin, Dr. Richardson, Mr. Back, and Mr. Hood, ess-nded by the hardy Orkney men, who had been en gaged to man the boats in the rivers of the interior, bad worked in the Company's service several years, and understood the language oT many of the Indian tribes, left the factory on the 7th of SepteMber, 1619, with a fair wind, under a salute from the de pot, and amidst the acclamations of the officers and men of the Company. Of the immense quantity and variety of provisions supplied by G verronent fur the use of the expedition, the greater part was left at the fac tory ; those who knew the country, and the difficulty of travelling through it, having represented the im possibility of conveying European food, which at the bay receive' the name of luxuries, to any considerable. distance. The hardships attending the progress of • travellers were in fact shown to be so great, as would reudee it absurd to calculate upon such a thing as the slightest change of diet in the winter season; and when it was mentioned . by Lieutenant Franklin, that lie had brought with him preserved meats and soups in portable case', to support the expedition in the cheer less regions through which they were to pass, there was a general laugh amongst the officers of the com pany, at the idea of associating any thing like comfort with the formidable character of the enterprise. Some of those difficulties may he estimated from the account of the sufferings of the adventurers, in their advance towards Cumberland, to which place the writer of this article accompanied them. On the third day after their departure from the factory, the boats of the com pany, which were proceeding to the various trading posts in the interior, came up with the expedition in the Steel River, distant about sixty miles from the place at which they set out. Must of the rivers in It that part of America abound with rapids and Gib. The rapids are generally more navigable near the banks, but they frequently extend across the streaw, and then the labour of the boat's crew becomes ezces sive, every man bring obliged to turn into the water and assist in carrying the boat sometimes to the dis• tante of half a mile before they gain the head of one of those terrilie impediments. The Company's men, upon turning one of the points of the river, observed the officers of the expedition making desperate efforts to set through the mud along the banks: some of them were up to their knees, others up to their waist, While the men were handing the boats over a most vio lent rapid, which, though bOt half a foot deep, ren dered it necessary that those who stood in the water should hold fast by the boat, the impetuosity of the stream being so extraordinary as not unfrequently to overturn a man in an instant, and dash him to pieces against the • rocks and stones which lie scattered along the bed of the river. Indeed, before the Company's boats hail read-lied those of Lieutenant Franklin, it was sus pected that the expedition had already met with more hardships than they had any notion of encountering at so early a 'period. Several of the tin cases n bleb bad contained the preserved meats were seen at the different tipvietli/tw places (the spots of ground on the banks chosen for passing the nights upon,) and those miser age abodes were drenched with rain, and presented an ap r earence the most appalling. Two black bears were soon prowling about, and devouring some of the beauties which the travellers had ascertained it was impossible to convey in any considerable quantities fur:ber up the river and along the banks were seen strong symptoms of the inexperience of those who bad g.pne forward. The traders with the North American I p.dians. in travelling to their posts, kindle fires of immense magnitude upon landing to put up for the night. Every man carries his fire bag, containing all the necessary apparatus. They proceed to hew down the trees, an office which they perform with wonder- CO dexterity. The tires are lighted, the tents for the °givers pitched, and the only regular meal taken dur ing the twenty-four hours, served up in as comfortable a manner as possible under the circumstances. As the travellers advanced, the mild season not having vet begun to disappear, vast herds of grey deer were ob served passing the rivers towards the Esquituanx lands, and the Indians who were accompanying the expedition gave extraordinary proofs of their activity, by rushing u?on the animals in the water,and striking long knives into their hearts. Lieutenant Franklin, oft entering the Hill-river, so called from a neighbouring emi nenre, the only one that presented itself between York Factory and Cumberland, had reason to express sur prise that trailing goods could be transported to the interior in spite of such frightful obstruction.. His Dan were fatigued in the extreme, and be found it in dispensably necessary to request that the officers of the Hudson's Bay Company would lighten his boat of the greater part of the luxuries and instruments. nis accommodation was readily given, and after the most laboriuttsefforts, the expedition reached the Rock depot. one of the Company's posts, having devoted seven days to the exhausting toil of wor!..ing op 30 miles of their journey. Upou arriving at the tivot, the expedition were treated with great hospitality by Mr. Blinn, the officer in charge, who entertained them with the Titti meg, a fish which they admitted was the most delici ous they had ever tasted, and which wits caught in God's Lake (au immense piece of water, ail named fronethe abundance anti excellence of its inhabitants.]'l Mr. Hood, who is one of the draftsmen of the expedi tion, took a sketch of the Rock fall and the post. which presented one of the most beautiful objects in t hese desolate regions, and introduced a distant view of a wigws-n (an Indian tent)with its inmates. Five days after the expedition left the Rock depot they reached another port, having encountered nom.' brrless difficulties similar to those which have been described. There was, however some relief to the pain-; fnl sameness of the journey in several beautiful lakes through which they had to pass. At Oxford.l se post, which was reached four days subsequently, they were provided with perrurrikim, the celebrated winter food of the country, made of dried deer or buffalo flesh, pounded and mixed with a large quantity of the fat of the animal. This food substitutes the luxuries in winter, is the most portable of all victuals, and satisfies the most craving hunger in a very short time. The officers of the expedition were not a little surprised at the difficulty of cutting their meat, but they soon re cor.ciled themselves to the lung established practice of Chopping it with a hatchet. During the summer, ducks, geese, partridges, /cc., are to be had in the greatest abundance; but the frost soon drives al l those Mica' I cies out of the reach of the active Indian, and pitntni kin becomes the only resource of the traveller. The next post at which they arrived was Norway-house , upon leaving which they entered upon Lake Winnipic at the further side of which they had to encounter the grand rapid, extending nearly three miles, and abound ing in obstructions quite insurmountable. Here they were obliged to drag their boats on shore, and carry them over the land, or, to use the technical language, Haunch them over the portage." The woods 1 along the banks were all in a b laze, it being the I custom of the natives, as well as the traders, to set fire to the trees around the up-putting places, for the double purpose of keeping off the cold and the wolves, whose howling. was increased in pro portion to the extent of the conflagration. The expedition passed several other rapids and falls along a flat, woody, and swampy country, across five miles of which no eye could see. M length they reached the White Fall, where an accident took place, which had nearly deprived the expedition of their commander. While the men were employed in carrying the goods and heats across the portage of the fall, Lieutenant Franklin walked down alone to view the rapid, the roaring of which could be heard several miles. He had the boldness to venture along the bank with Eng lish shoes upon his feet, a most dangerous experiment, where the hanks are flint-stones and as smooth as glass. —He was approaching the spot from which he could have taken the most accurate observation, when be slipped from the bank into the water. Fortunately the water into which he was precipitated was mill water. Had lie lost his footing ten yards lower down, he would have been hurried into a current which ran with amazing impetuosity over a precipice, presenting one of the most terrific objects his eyes bad yet fixed upon amidst all the horrors of the journey. Lieut. Frank lin is an excellent swimmer, bat be had on him a sai lor's heavy Flushing jacket and trowsere, heavy Eng lish shoes, and a large neck handkerchief, the weather having begun to set in very cold. Ha swam about for some time, and made vigorous efforts to get upon the hank, but he had to contend against a smooth pre cipitous rock, and was just exhausted when two of the Company's officers, who were at a short distance from the fall, looked up and saw him struxgling in the water. With the assistance of their poles, they raised him out of his perilous situation, in which he had been nearly a qnarter of an hour. The moment he reached land he fell to the ground, and remained without motion for some time. His powerful consti tution, however, soon buffeted the effects of the ac cident, and he happily had only to regret the injury his chronometer, for which he bad given lOU guineas, ' received in the water. After a tedious journey of -16 days, the dangers and distresses of which rather est creased than diminished as they advanced, the expedi tion arrived at Cumberland, a post situate . sit .tare banks of a beautiful lake, and stockaded against the incursions of savages, the attacks of wolves and bears, and the more ferocious assaults of rival traders. THE LATE GALES. --- e' TO ova ItEADERS AND THE PUBLIC. Lryst, Noy. 9.—On Sunday last we experienced the heaviest gale of wind, in this town, for a few hours, which was ever remembered by the oldest inhabitant ; it commenced about one o'clock and raged till near four with uncommon fury, the wind being first in a westerly direction, it then veered round to the north, drove the receding tide back again, and caused the ut most confusion atnonst the ships in the harbour. A small Bomber keel broke from her moorings, and was forced against one of the Hull-traders—leer mast went overboard in an instant, and in a short time afterwatal, she sunk, but has since been recovered. The Lady Annabella, laden with timber from Memel, also broke her cable, and was driven to some distance above the town, but fortunately received no injury. The Endea vour, of Whitby, went down in the Lynn-roads; the crew were taken on board the Staines, of this port, and providentially saved from a watery grave. Several line ehn and other trees were blown down at Terringtoa ; and we ate sorry to add, upwards of one hundred sheep, the property of a gentleman at Long Sutton, were drowned in the marshes, on that part of the Nor folk coast adjoining to Lincolnshire. During the gale on Sunday se'nnight a post-wind• mill, belonging to Mr. Abray, of Wellingham, (which hail been erected little more than 2 months,) Was blown down and considerably damaged; by this unfor tunate occurrence an industrious man and his family were compelled to be melancholy witnesses of the labour of many years blasted in a moment by this dreadful calamity. Oetaisav, Nov. 7.—On Sunday last a trialent Igor ricane came on from the west-north-west, which caused several vessels to come on the Lincolnshire coast, and several of their hands were drowned.—A sloop went down near Stallingbro' Kiln; the master, his wife, and live children were drowned ; their bodies were afterwards washed on shore. The mate belonging to the same vessel jumped into the water, and fortanately fur bins, a tremendous wave carried him on shore. A windmill belonging to Mr. Thomas Brewer, of this place, which stood facing the South, was set agoing by the gale the reverse way, which broke machinery to the amount of 90/. On Sunday week, during the high wind, an im mense Lombardy poplar, at the north-west corner of the Fellow's' Garden, John's College, Cambridge, was blown down. The tree was one of the finest of that species in the kingdom, its girth was fifteen feet four inches, its height very considerable, and it is suppoied to be about 200 years old. One of the Fellows was a Wan two yards of the tree when it began to Own trey. but was fortunately out of its reach before it fell. and the only damage it occasioned was the demolition of part of the garden wall. A swallow was found is the .hollow of the trunk. in a torpid state. The beautiful weeping willow at the corner of Trinity College-walks. near tlerard's Hostel Bridge, was blown into the river, a tree in Queen's College grove was blown down. and some other injury sustained. At Peterborough. on the same morning, a large weeping willow in Archdeacon throng's plantations. so many years the ornantefft of the gravel walk in that city, was entirely . blown to the ground. We have hitherto airstitned from noticing. in our eolttrans, the nnjustitiable conduct of one of ottrocotemporariet ; from the feeling that any thing of a personal or-private nature • should be studiously avoided in a Newspaper. But, how ever contemptible and unworthy of attention may be such conduct as far as regards our own interests, where the public are in any degree concerned, we think it but due to them in our capacity of pablie censors to expese evey at tempt at imposition and guard them against its effects. We shall, therefore, waive all considerations arising from a sense of false delicacy, and submit to them as to the fittest tribunal that niatter'which weave:lr highly deserving of their atten tion. We are about to complain not of fair and honourable competition. but of an organised system of misrepresenta tion and delusion; a system that has been artfully prac tised on the public, and intended for the injury of our- selves and others. It probably may be known to a few persons. that last year Lieutenant-Colonel Torrent became Proprietor, or part Proprietor of the Trareller' newspaper which was then in its last stage of existence—its limited circulation at that time not exceeding, according to the Lieutenant Colonel's account, four hundred and eighty daily. At the period of his joining it a Manifesto was published, stating, that the conductors would occasionally receive assistance from those whe were opposed to the " Party in Power ;" in short, that they were to be supported by the Whigs—and that the Tra veller was intended to become a Whig paper ; it having previously been -Ministerial. This Manifesto was expected to operate like a charm upon the public. The great' Whig Party' contributing to the Traveller "it was only ne. eessary to be known to be admired !" But, alas!! the Whig contributions, if any ever reached the office of the Traveller. had no power to please. Th e Traveller "dragged its slow length along"—its Whig associates were unable or en willing to add to its celerity or promote its travels ; the ad vertising quotations of the (I) "rimer` proved equally un fortunate and unavailing ; " .4 Change came o'er the Spirit of his dream," and the Lieutenant Colonel deemed it ad viseabie to cut his old associates the Whigs, and court the Radicals, thereby proving how little his boasted friends bad assisted his paper. Iliad this been all we should never have considered ourselves entitled to interfere with the i.ieutennnt Colonel's Editorial functions, or with his vacillating politics. If he could reconcile his own mind to these changes, it was no affair of ours ; if he could work his paper into notice or intoprofit by fair means. wehad no right to complain. We did not complain. But that which eleited our animadversions was the mean and unmanly system recognised and pursued. when neither Whig nor Radical politics appeared to have answered the Lieutenant Colonel's expectations. We have heard of a stratagem practiced to bring into repute " Day and Martin's Blacking." The inventors of the Shining Jet, it is said. dressed up a dozen boss' in livery, and sent them to ask at all the shoe-makers in London for Day and Mar tin's Blacking." The bait took—the shoe-makers' thought the Blacking in high estimation; they accordingly purchased and recommended it as being " highly approved of." We have heard of a Ministerial Morning paper sending a group of persons to order a dinner at a Coffee-house and call for such a newspaper, they knowing at the same time, that the landlord did not" take it in." On his intimating this to them ; " Oh ! they must go then and dine where they could pee it." Thus the landlord having lost some good 'dinner customers:' would probably in future take caret* havetbat paper included in the "Bill of Fare," and thins the objectwasaccomplished. There are, indeed, a thousand ways bre/Web persons hate sought " to drive a trade." Rut, what can our readers think of the Proprietor of *newspaper-0f a London Daily News paper. that Proprietor too a Lieutenant Colonel, em ploying or encouraging a number of persons to go from house to house in every street, lane, court, or alley in Lon don, where an Evening paper is taken in. and use every possible stratagem to get it exchanged, whether it be a Star, STVTESIIAN, Courier, or Globe for the Trareller. They en deavour to accomplish their aim either by hoodwinking the landlord. or hoodwinking the company. The modes of at tack are various. To enumerate all would occupy too much space. Two or three men wait upon the landlord and re quest him to take in the ' Traveller ;' if they have any per sonal influence o ier him. they of course 'sail themselves of it ; it not, their solicitations must be accomplished with some reasons for their request; of these they have abundance at command—take as a sample. " 7'he 7'rareller is the best paper published ; it is a fashionable paper ; it is pa tronised by the great Whigs and various Members of Partin ment, or it issupportcd Who Westminster people, by Sir F. Burdett, Sir Robert Wilson, Alderman Wood. Mr.Rf cardo." and so on : then comes a good word for the paper that is intended to be superseded. If it happen to be the Svsrassess, " Oli ! the Statesmaa /s turning ! Its politics hare been changed. It has not the same fire as formerly ; Members of Parliament used to correspond with it, but now the Traveller receives all their Communications." If the landlord be humbugged by any chance. and consents to change the paper, the next - thing is how to humbug his cus tomers, and reconcile them to the change; or if the land lord be obstinate a lure is thrown out. " it won't insult kim,tkey will send the Traveller on trial for a fortnight or three weeks gratis." In either case, their next manoeuvres are the same ; they intermix with the company at night ; by a lit tle flummery, ingratiate themselves with those who ' rule the Tease—they watch their opportunity to promote discus sions on the comparative merits of newspapers ; introduce the same cogent arguments they had employed to dope the landlord, and if alley do not meet with a powerful opposi tion, andthey think they can rely upon their own numbers, they propose to put it to the vote, whether the ' old ' paper shill not be exchanged in future for the Traveller.' (I) Be sides this. it is no uncommon thing to see a fellow go into a house " Glee me a glass of brandy - and water. and bring me the Trareller." •• We don't • take is' the Traveller. sir." " Oh, then, gou need not bring me the brandy , and water." Soon after. is will come another with a similar de mand, and with a similar excuse walk out. By this means it is imagined that the landlord will be duped. sad the desired object attained. A plausible story is never wanting. This is -------- - - - (1.) As a proof of the correctness and justice of these quota tions The Times seems so fond of announcing from The l'rarcller, we will, out of a great number. jest select a slut le instance. We published a very interesting avid original ane cdote relative to Horne Took e and Sir William Curtis. STehriTidwaryesllterne;elwrabraatus. andsithesaele paragraph appeared In next day in The Teinea. with Traveller annexed to it. thereby incurring a wrung belief that it hail originated with The Traveller. el.) One of The Traveller scouts very recently went to a public-house for the purpose of turista/ out the paper that that was taken in. The landlord happened to be absent from home. The scout introduced himself to the company. who consisted of a few eonstsnt frequenters of the house. and sin or seven strangers. and after haranguing them In a style suitable to the occasion.. proposed to substitatc io fu ture The 'Prareller for the saki p.per. The stranyers and himself triumphed. Set the landlord hating returned horn* two days afterwards. and finding the change that hid Oakes placedering his absence. thought proper to counter mand the order for The Traveller. but The Traveller has every sight since found its way gratis • t r' ~t !~ 1141 ~. j' \ . diversified to suit seasons and ciremustattem in g ,,e, z into a house where ore evening paper (tele has usually h ers taken in, may sometimes heseen the Traveller aswellas the customary paper. " Why, Landlord, do you take tee Evening Papers now," No, Sir, the Traveller has bees sent gratis on trial, and we have bite's had some extra pany who are always praising it." In another place *pie the Landlord will say, • I used to take such a paper, I was pestered to change it for tile Traretler, and I had fora shaft thee some additional customers. but these, soon left ree,eag the old paper has been called for again.' Several pe rms appear, in one way or other, to be occupied in this hope,' undertaking. If at any place the Traveller by chance hes superseded the received i.aper, two or three strangers s ue been observed to linger abont, as if on the watch, in es s , of reprisals—they take their bread aid cheese and pease in the house, and when all may have been deemed safe they have disappeared, as if to occupy fresh quarters. N o , what can Landlords think of all this? what do they go What did one high-spirited Landlord declare when he db. covered how matters wiee managed I " be d—d lend a hand to suck conduct ;" nor will any man we m e convinced lend a hand to it when be is apprised of it. en the ingenuity employed is astonishing. No point is left m. guarded, no post unattempted (3). It is sometimes me alleged against the STATEQMAN, that the information it contains is principally copied from the 7'isses. au s palpable falsehood must be obvious to ail who reed the two papers. It needs no refutation (4). Such is part of the wretched system of delusion that has bees adopted to force the Traveller on the public. The failure of it renders the attempt not the less degrading or the ne cessity for exposing it less imperious. We have in deed beets amazed to learn that the conduct we blue de tailed has been endeavoured to be justified. By alma? By Lieutenant-Colonel Torrene himself. Our reasuninessse not formed on conjectures. or on facts only half ascended. The proofs can he substantiated by Newsvenders, by Pub licans, by strangers, and by the avowal of Lindeman- Colonel Torrens. However sceptical we might othenrise have been, however much we might have hesitated to thiak that such meanness could be practised or recognised by sa honourable man, the acknowledgments of the Lindens,- Colonel completely removed all doubt. A gentlemes eon neeted with our establishment had an opportunity of apes tulating with him on the illiberality of his centime How did the Lieutenent-Colonel meet these remonstrates? Why, truly, with • very had grace. Ile first sienied anytime ledge of the matter beyond Mister Gardaer's goingabentte different houses; so, that like the clerk of Sir Abralmin Bradley King, who put .f5OOO into Sir Abraham's pocket whited his knowing it, a host of men, in all parts of the tow', were endeavouring to push the Lieutenant-Colonel's paper is known to him ; they were doing him " good by steal*" and no doubt would " blush to find it fame." This, how ever, was too barefaced, "this cock would not fight," he boldly then went upon a fresh tack ; he faced bis enemy; he broadly admitted that men did go about in the way abet& mentioned; he justified the plan. " The True Briton," hi understood, had first set the example. It was only tradesman like; it was done in every business." Thiene tainly was a novel doctrine to us. We had yet to levied it was fair and honourable on the part of a Proprietor d a Newspaper's" send out ernissartes for the purpose of eroding a false impression in the minds of the public, w'b Meta to the conduct and politics of his cotemporaries : is ter, to decry all newspapers but his own. If a Pastillas were to go round to every boase in his neighbouthood , sued fishes the Inhabitants that the Landlord they were in the held et dealing with, sold deleterious porter and poisonous gikuri that he alone sold good-articles ; or if any tradesmen were to go about the - town, and inform the public, without fees dation, that any other in the same business sold inferlargssei or used false weights or measures, we know veryweil vitt the public would say to this. We require to be told of the difference in the two cases ; for our own parts we onside them precisely similar. To what extent precisely the r • sons going about as described may receive itairialial from their employer, or how much may be the works of m pererogation on their parts wit shall not presume to my.- We can only repeat, without " setting down eight h malice," that the Lieutenant-Colonel openly and storel recognised the system as alleged above. Lieutenant-Colonel Torrens; as his title imports, tads high in the Army, or rather, we believe, in the Moises: this we would impress on the minds of cur readers.
