EXTRAORDINARY LXPEDITION. An expedition is now fitting out with extraor dinary activity, which is considered of great na tional importance, ■nd has excited universal in tersst 01111 expectation. Its intended course and movements, its well as its final destination. are as vet only subject of conjecture, and have produced niiicli speculation. The principal officers employ ell in the service presume they are going on a voy :il:,, or discovery• for a new passage to Cape Safety, the old c.tlr4e having been at late obstructed by reefs mid which have been thrown up by extraordinary revulsion Irons the bottom to the sur f ace . judging from the quality of the -hip., their crews, and equipments, apprehend that they are bound direct for the Golf of Desolation. through the Straits of Re: fractious. and . down the Sea of Despotism into the Ocean of Folly. The vessels to be employed in the service were all originally ships of war s which have MO much ser vice. but since the peace have either been laid ap in ordinary, or used as transports. The following 1s a bit : The Liverpool, 74. Captain JENIET, a dell heasy sailor. with slight timbers. and badly manned. The Cast/ere*, 74. Captain This wea sel is also badly manned for a line-of-battle ship, and has been within the last few years used us a transport between this and the Continent, during which time she has made many successful trips, and carried on a very lucrative trade in diplomatic snuff-boxes, gold rings, &c. besides large quanti ties of English treasure, exported for the use of foreign states, as subsidies, loans, &c. The Cas t/me was condemned as unserviceable some years back by an eminent surveyor; but the opinian of the latter was overhauled upon a trial of her fire at Wimbledon, and she has ever since htld her place in the service. The Canning, 64, Captain Spouter.—This is a shewy verses, and a fast sailer, currying little ballast. In the late war she made several prizes, and reckons among her captures the Lowther, the ilnakisson, &c. Since she came into the merchant service she has been rendered remarkable for a pro fitable speculation in the Lisbon trade. Although with pert-holes for the show of a 64, her scantling is only that of a frigate. The Exchequer, Capt. VAN.—The name would imply a Dutch vessel, but she certainly is not Dutch built. She is chiefly used as a store-ship in the grand fleet to carry the money chest. !ler guns are of very small calibre, and easily silenced even by a frigate. The Mist, Captain POLE.-I . lkis vessel has all the metal and other materials necessary to consti tute a ship of Merlin stamp ; but her Captain has riot displayed much judgment in any actions in which lie has engaged, although he has had many tippet tonities, particularly in his engagements with the Crown and the Sovereign. He does not seem to know how to measure his distance, and, oh shame to British prowess I is notorious for striking. There is • great number of bombs, fire-ships, and ether small fry attached to the above. It was supposed that the expedition would not set sail until after Christmas, but a sudden order lately appeared in the Gazette, to hasten its depar ture, and the squadron will fall down to.nsorrow, the 23d instant, to Retten-rote, from whence it will start in the course of the day, wind and weather permitting. Of the probable result of this expedition, there are 'orlon. opinions. AVe:e the squadron to proceed by Fair/lead and Constitution Promontory through Lawful Passage into the Patriotic Ocean, visiting in its way the little Islands of Economy, and tak ing in fresh supplies in the Bay of Reform, there would be very little doubt of its ultimate success. But those places lie within-a quarter of the world totally unknown to, and neve► traversed by, the Officers employed its the expedition, and it may be therefore confidently presumed they mean to shape a very different course. There is another circumstance which deserves serious notice, ■nd must excite apprehen.ions for the result: the crews are known to be downright mercenaries; they will not figl.t if nut well fed and paid; and it is whispered that the Commander in Chief has been greatly disap pointed in the ways and means. llowever, half a loaf in such fellows is better than no bteud, and we have little doubt that they will be content with short . 4 1lowatice for the prevent, if accompanied with a pruisnae and hope of future plunder. 11 AZ 4RD and Co. sold iu Shares the first-drown Prize ill the pretext Lottery, entitled to Twenty Thousand Pounds (Money and Consols), No. 7,370, at their Offices, Rii)al Exchange Gate; 26, eurnbill ; and 324, Os ford-street, corner of Swallow-strict ; where Tickets and Maris arc now selling fur the next Day of Drawing, Decem b. 9. alien Two more Prizes of 23,0001.

She appeared deeply affected by the enthu siastic expressions of pleasure and a■teem that greeted her entre, and it was some tune before she recovered the full possession of her powers. They were exerted throughout with all their enchanting brilliancy. taste, and sweetness.

George Au gustus Seyiner, at Child Gkeforil, near Blandford, William Murton Pitt, of Kingston Mai leward, Esq. one of the Eupieseutativea of the County of Dorset, to Miss Grace luulia Seyiner, eldest daughter of the late Henry Str oller, of Hanford, in the name county, Esq. and great Mete to the late George Lord Elvers. After the ceremony they set off fur Mr. l'itt's seat at Kingston, near Dorches to r, *lime they arrived abort • quarter past three o'clock, and wire grei.teil with the OCCillalliiilll/11 of upward, of a thousand people, who were assembled to witness a bouo tiinl g,ven to the inhabitants of the village, con si•tin; of TOO persons. In the evening the tenantry and toad. sown, with their families, enjoyed themselves at the mansion, and departed highly gratified, wishing their hos. pliable bort and hostess every comfort that life is capable of bestowing. A FEMALE RED INDIAN. The following extract from s letter of an Offi cer of his Majesty's ship Drake, gives an account of un unsuccessful but meritorious efhort to esta blish a communication with the original inhabitants of the Island of Newfoundland : " Early in June we sailed to Tullingate, for the purpose of takinng on board one of the Aborigines (commonly called Heil Indians) of Newfoundland. She was taken last winter, in tf.-• Bay of Exploits, by Mr. Paytonoind a party of nine ur ten men, who bad a kited of skirmish with two ur three of her tribe, in which one of the Indians was unfortunately killed. From Tulliogate we proceeded with our new female ac quaintance to Fortune Harbour, situated in the Bay of Ex ploits. The object of the expedition was to endeavour to open a friendly intercourse between the unfortunate natives and his Majesty's subjects. Strung hopes were entertained that the- female, from the great attention and kind treat ment she received, would have been of considerable service in opening the desired communication ; she, however, proved of no use; but, whether from stupidity, or from entertain ing some suspicion that our intentions were not friendly, it is difficult to determine. This much I can say, that to me and some others she appeared remarkably dull and stupid, her face bring utterly devoid of expression. It is said, in some of the English papers, that she acquired the Eng lish language with facility; butt this I beg to deny. She could, indeed, apply Yes and No, pretty correctly; but no other words did she fully comprehend. 'Tas true the could pro noutice almost any word, and say " Pretty, ever! pretty ;" just as a parrot would say, " Pull, pretty poll." She was five weeks on board the Drake, and was never once oh 'erred In endeavour to make herself understood, either in her own, or in any other language. She has a strong resem blance to the Malays ; and, I believe, po • el of a con siderable share of their cunning, but destitute of their vin dictive spirit. When taken, she was d r din a large cas sock that reached to her ankles, made from the skins of deer and martins; hut afte rwards she assumed the English garb. _ . . . . •' The boats of the Drake fell in with I Wigwams, pitched close to the beach ; however the Indians, on dis coveting them approach to the land, scampered into the woods and were no more seen. They are represented to be as cautions and watchful as beasts of prey. The few articles necessary fur their mode of living are uncouthly rude—their clothing is entirely made from the skins of Jeers, bears, Coxes, ficc. They are supposed to have no settled place of abode, but roam where they are most likely to fall in with fish and game : the latter they ■re said to kill very dexte rously with a clumsy bow and arrow." At a meeting of the Committee, holden on Thurs day last, on the subject of Mr. OwErf's plan, pre sent. the Duke of KENT, Dr. FUDGE, Mr. W. Tooxe, Mr. S. BOURNE, and a few other Gen tienlen, a Resolution was made, that, nil account of the inadequacy of the fund., and the impracti cability of the scheme, the Committee should re. store to the public the trust that had been confided to them. Mr. CORBETT'S family are arrived at the place of their former residence. Batley, from America. It is confidently asserted that COBBETT sent to this country. in the same vestel, the bo►es of Tow PAINE. It is understood that the Corporation of London, desirous of commemorating the signal services of the Duke of WELLINGTON, in addition to the other testimonies of their approbation, have just named the new building-, now erecting on the lower distinct of Moorlit Ids, " The Wellington Amphitheatre." On Monday eve 1111 l g, a person named JON?, FISH was apprehended at a public-house, about two miles from Preston. fur having a pike in his possession. The pike was found in the breast-pocket of his coat ; and on searching under the seat where he had been sitting, two ball-eartridg,es, a flint, and a Manchester Observer. were found. Ile underwent a bug exa mination on Tue►day ut the Sessions Room, before the Rev.

GENERAL DLrf.IILLY. General Devereux is endeavouring to raise a loan of 300,0001. (lint 30,000/. as has been erroneously stated) for the Governments of New Grenada soil Venezuela. As the last offers of recnrity on terri tory were unsuccessful, a new project has been sub mitted, which is that those •Aho advance the nt y, shall have bills upon the Government of Chili, suit receive cent. purr cent. at the time of payinelit, 51111 in the interval, a raiming interest six per cent. We understand that Mr. Rothschild has reinsed io enter at all into the speculation, and it is not ex pected in the City that the plan will be attended with ,nevus.—(Alurrsing Paper.) IVe have authority to state that Mr. Rolluchilil hes never been applied to by General Devtreisx, nor by any person acting under Ins authority. on the subject of the proposed South American Lowl— and consequently had Do opportunity of either de dining or agreeing to any terms respecting it.— (Morning Past.) The brig Ebenezer has lately from Gravesend, having on board Captain JOHN Es. MONDE, charged with important dispatches from General D'EvEiteux to the Governments of Bueiioa Ayres and Chili. Captain Esnoann is the younger brother of Sir Titus. EsmoNny., en ancient Irish Baronet, and is the saute Geotlewilit who so gallantly distinguished himself about tell months since on board the brig Muipo„ when she attacked &Spanish frigate (the Resolution) of lunch superior force, in the Pacific. BRITISH COLONY IN VENEZUELA. It was stated a few week, shim that application had been made to the Einvevaasent of Venezuela. by certain British merchants, foe *grant of laud on the banks of the Orossoko, for the purpose of founding a colony, and for receiving emigninta from this country. The extent of territory applied for was to be sufficiently large to entitle it to the rank of a kingdom, and the title of Aew Aria. with a capital to be called Acre Dublin. war intended to be bestowed upon it. %Ve understand that the visit of Gen. Ilergara and Sig. l'enalver, the Vette. zuelan Deputies to this country, is 'nutty integidad, and they have full powers for that purpose, to carry this object into effect. A preliminary treaty has been drawn up, and is now under consideration. The land allotted is to be selected flout the missions of San Miguel Purge, and its extent is to be :too leagues square. It will form an integral part of the province of Venezuela, and be governed se• cording to its constitution, preserving consplete to leration in religion, and freedom f military ser• vice for the settlers. Three men:hams of this city, and one of Dublin, are engaged in the negocianno, and a joint-stock company is intended to be formed for regulating the concerns of the colony. The fol lowing description of the spot whereon it is to be formed, is extracted from► a letter written by a ►;eo tlemau who lately visited Angostura, in order to make a survey of the situation : " From the experience I have hail of the climate, there is nothing to fear mu the score of health. The thee 11111 l ne ter, it is true, has ranged daily in the shade (written in 'slay !est) from 79 to 03 degrees, but the breezes have been re. gular, and the sir particularly pure. Sickness seems to ori. ginaie every where more from want, or intemperance, than climate. The km., which swept away the Indians by hun dreds in the missions, is Lambing more, as I am told by me. diral men, ihnit a quotidian ague, 'ally of cure; to s hich, perhaps, should be added small-pux, and the dread of con scription, which drive them in families to the niouutstiois, and deprive them of the cacaos of cuouteracting or prevent ing disease by the enjoyment of common comforts. Much as this waste of life is to be lanirottil, it is a circumstance which affords peculiar facilitii a fur the establishment of new settlers, who will boil houses, and even towns, of cousidesa ble exteut, ready prepared fur their reception, with the ground already cleared around them. Of these there are se veral that once contaiued a population of from GOO to 1,200 souls each." General Devereux, we understand, is to be as. striated in this new undertaking. and a grant of land which has been individually made to hint by the Congress of Venezuela, of SO leagues square, is to be added to the general stuck. A letter from Bombay, dated July 26, mentions, that the expedition which was intended to sail thence in October. against the pirates iu 11w Per sian Gulf, was to be commanded by Sir WILLIAM K cm, and Captain F. A. COLLIER, C.B. in the Liverpool frigate. The naval part of the last ex pedition sent against these daring marauders, it will be remembered, was confided to the late lamented Captain JOHN WAINWRIGHT. C.B. whop con ducted the operations with no less zeal and cool judgment, than entnplete success. Captain Geoace FOWER has succeeded to the command of the ships in ordinary at Sheerness, vice Captain T. BROWN, who has comuti►sioned the Vigo, 74, for the flag of Rear-Admiral LAst• BERT, at St. Helena.—Litutenatit W.

By the last accounts from Antigua, we are happy to find that that line old diatingoialied cow., the sth Foot, under the command of Colonel Cut•soN, have been perfectly healthy taller their arrival in that countiy. The regiment lately gave a grand ball amid supper to time General Officers and staff; and all the principal people in the i.laud. The 9th regiment, in the other ►slands, are also healthy. It is stated, that the period for those excellent re giments to remain will nut exceed,three years. De tachments for those corps are likely to said for the West Indies before the winter is over. Maur Offi cers are waiting at the depots to embark.

A Comtuntsion had been granted•hy the Specisl Committee, at the instance of the Petitioners, to examine wit . in Ireland. The Commission pro ceeded. and heal been in progress from the sin Janie last, when Petitioners closed their case. The sittlin4 Nlember was then respired to proceed its his case, he having given in lists sl objected votes and %tat,- mews siontist the Petitioners at the lime the Coin !mitre was struck. The Pitting Member's agent. however, declared he was not able then to go into lii• case, sod prayed time from the Commissioners. This was protested against by the Petitioners, who denied the power of the Commissioners to grant it, and called on them to consider the Commission as ' slow closed, by the default of the sitting Mem ber, mid to make up their minutes, if he would not ' forthwith proceed. The Commissioners, however, granted the time. asserting their right to do so, and adjourning from day to d3y. pro formes. The examination is now going on ex parte, the Prti tiowers having resolved to abide by their protest. sod lay the decision of the Committee or of the house... whether Commissioners appointed under linuted powers to receive evidence as to particular facts stated, and who are bonird by the Act under which they are appnitited (the 42.1 of the King, chap. 106), to sit every day from ten o'clock final four, and never to adjourn for more than twenty.. Axe Asa/J, unless in particular cases provided for, cast have such a discretionary power to suspend, and thereby prolong proceedings at their pleasure, until, perhaps, the Parliament itself shall expire ?" The question certainly is of vital importance to the right of Petitioners in Ireland, and must, we understand, receive • Parlismentary decision the clinking Session. The minutes of the proceedings had already ametu.nterl to 4,000 sheets, when the Petitioners dosed their ease, end the Commission had been t hen sitting Wise hundred and eleven days.

DREADFUL CONSEQUINCES OF SEDUCTION. A most melancholy oceseremece recently took place in p gentlemati's family resident in the vicinity of the metro ulis. A very respectable young woman, who had lived in the capacity of upper warrant in the Cosily about a year, and who was much esteemed by her master and mistress, was found dead in her bed by her fellow servant, and from a phial lying ou the floor by her bedside, it appeared that she had died in cunirerprence of taking laudanum. The account given by the other servant was, that for some days her partner had been very melancholy, and at intervals would wring her hands mud exclaim, " God forgive me; what will be come of me—l cannot live—l mist die—l am a guilty out cast—l have only one more sacri bee to make and then all will be over-0 ••• 0 , what have you done!" that she was fre quently weeping, and from being a very lively young woman, became all at once thoughtful and gloomy; that on the night preceding the morning on which she was found dead, she took nut a phial, which had a dark liquor in it, and told her that it was her wedding draught. The cause of the fatal step was not ascertained until the following letter was discovered by her fellorbservant, wrapt op in her night cap, from which it appeared that she had fallen a victim to the seductive arts of a young matt, a relation of the family, and living in the house. " Mr. you have at lest succeeded in your wicked purpose; but you have destroyed me, and made me guilty in body and soul. You said you loved me, and I too fondly believed you; but your love is now death to me. I was once respectable; I am now a guilty wretch in the sight of God and man. I cannot bear my own reproaches; how then can I live to bear those of the world? You will see me, perhaps, when I am dead : you may then see what crime has reduced her to whom your cruel and selfish flat- teries led away from the paths of virtue. In one unguarded moment you have plunged as. from innocence into shame; and cast me out of heaven down to hell ! 0 my distracted heart! It will not break as I could wish It. May God par don the distraction that hastens the destruction of the poor wretch whom you have driven to madmen ! To•rnorrow morning I shall be a corpse! 0, • • • •, repent of the wicked deed; and, for merey's sake, cease to practise the same deceit towards other 'rapiers girls ma you have ruined your miserable Mary by. 0, my dear mother! who shall comfort you now ? But it is better I should die, than live to bring disgrace upon your gray hairs! • • • •, may the Almighty forgive you for what you have done! I have said what prayers I could for you. I cannot pray for myself. I hope my master will be so kind as to give what wages are due to me to my broken-hearted mother. Another moment,. and I shall have done what cannot he undone. You will grieve ' perhaps; but weep for yourself, and repent. Your dying MARY." The Coroner's Inquest brought in a verdict of Lunacy. JAMES MINCIIIN, Esq. Barrister (son of Mr. THOS. ANDREWS MINCHIN), has been appointed by the Conn of Director., Solicitor-Lieneral in the Court of Judicature at Madras. A Ministerial Paper states, from authority. that there is no truth in the report that has appeired in several of the papers, that Sir PHILIP BROKE is going out to St. Heleua. Extract of a letter from Smyrna. dated Oct. 2 i ‘ Lust week arrived here the brig Jaae, from Malta, chartered to bring up Lieut. Iloasow, of his Ma je►ty's ship Spey, and a complement of men. They immediately took posses&iisti of the English brig William. how Liverpool. and secured. in irons the master, CHRISTOPHER DELANO. and all the crew, excepting the steward, a mulatto, who was ■shore and kept out of the way. The charge against them is piracy, having plundered the Helen from Liver pool for Genoa, chiefly loaded with manufactures, and attempted to sink her after nailing clown the hatches on the crew. What confirms this is Di- Lsiso's hasiog lamb d and sold clandestinely, at Malta, a great quantity of manufactures, mid bring ing here a good deal of money in specie. which he deposited in the bend. of Messrs.

He and his crew must have been hardened vill gins to hope for escape with impunity, after committing such horrible crimes; for they were cooly waiting to luau, back for England. when, to the astonisl.ment of all here, Lieutenant HOBSON curried ship arid crew off to Malta, where it is trusted these vagabonds will meet their desert.
