The weather this season in the vicinity of Greenland, has been much finer than has been known fur a length of taw past, although the ice lay much the same as last year; and from various amour's of late years it appears, little ad vaster has boot made beyond the latitude attained by Capt.

Nearly one mulling Set hundred thousand square miles are in all probability occupied by viot fields or mouittaius of ice` consequently s few detached fragments, separated from such euonouus alifll49l, will cause but little distention in this immense Went, and contribute In a very small degree to augmeqt the . practiesoility of the Expeditioe ever attaining he Mot% Pule. As to it. effects us the weather in the sum ..meamo6lBlo and 1817, let us esquire whether the wet and cold experienced in those seasons were general on our &he; if isql, this circuinstaisee will be quite sunicient to refute any argument that may be advanced in aripleset of Coy other hese, otherwise than variations which naturally arise from • ellse• various pheettioena and modifications of the menu where. It was contended by some that the sun had deserted hie ancient course, and that he revolved at a remoter din. lance from the earth than formerly.

The causes of the above cold Anil wet sea sons tire, therefore, Rut to be attributed to the distance of the sun from the earth; neither front the influence of the eider spirts as some imagined ; hut with a much greater r degree of protothility to the earth itself.
