CAPTAIN PARRY'S tXPEDITION. It is curious to remark. that during all their progress northward, the wind was in the north, nearly right against them ; and that when they turned, to shape their way back again to the south, the ill-tempered and opposing wind also chOpped round and still blew in their teeth ! Of: course there could be no travelling in these regions without some communications with their denieene, the bears. Two of these natives were slain ; and both—oh want of gallantry in British sailors !—were females. The scenes must have been very curious and pic turesque. At night-fall, every night, the sledge boat- was converted into a tent : three light bamboo spars stuck-up, fore, inidship, and aft; with the oar 6 crossing them aloft, made the sup poi t and roof of this simple and primitive-looking shelter. The canvass- sail thrown over, and fastened down to the sides: with loose parts for gegress and regress, completed the noettirnal imicile. One sentinel paraded the cold out side, to watch for any breaking or separation of the ice, or other moving accident by flood or field. All being snug one night, the gasping watch suddenly looked in and gave the alarm of a huge bear approach ing : the exquisite sense of smell possessed by these anim a l s h a d brought it probably from a great distance, in quest °fits scented prey. The order was quickly given to lie close, and be si lent ; for, the least noise is often sufficient to alarm and scare off the animal, and our country men were, for various reasons, as will appear hereafter, very anxious that their present visitor should meet with a proper reception. The mon ster shuffled onwards, and coming to the boat, raised herself on her hind legs, - so as to place her fore paws over the gunwale and take a peep of what was going on inside. At this moment the triggers of two f o wling-pieces were pulled,— one missed fire, but the other went off, and was no well directed, that the ball went through the creature's heart. She fell backward, an d h a d hardly expired,_ befo re all hands were at work, in a style of which we can hardly form a conception at home. The consequences were, that the lady's dress was off her back, ,and her entrails, such as heart, liver, &c. (which are excellent eating) in the pot in five minutes. The carcass, when stripped, is about the size and colour of that of a horse ; and, what was of the utmost conse quence under the circumstances in which our poor fellows were placed,—the animal supplied more than fuel enough for its otvn cooking. With the skin is flayed off, when in good con dition, a lining of fat of the breadth of a hand ; this was immediately cut into pieces, and thrown into a vessel with bits of rope, or junk, which were lighted, and a famous fire soon made for culinary purposes. The vessel, however, also deserves a notice. It consisted of a sheet of the copper (of which a few spare sheets were carried to mend any hole that might be made in the bot tom of the boat, and " expel the winter's flaw,") beat up round the edges so as to form a shallow receptacle for the bear's grease and ropes ends ; and over the flame of these the beat's body was converted into a variety of stews, frys, boils, &c., wiiich, if not equal to Ude's recipes, were, we will be bound to say, relished with a better appe tite than usually awaits the fricassees and fritters of that eminent artiste. I-10W repa2t must have he..aor. tor-auf - titin, nlaW-Con ie4ueit, when it is remembered that their allow ance of pemmacan and biscuit was little more than sufficient. to sustain nature, and certainly not sufficient to enable them to undergo the se vere fatigues to which they were constantly ex posed. Indeed, so fierce and craving was their hunger, we have heard, that on the killing of One of the bears, a considerable quantity of the flesh was devoured raw during the night of its capture. What remained was put in bags, and served out as occasion required ; but, altogether, it will be seen that a visit frorn a bear was one of the most welcome events which could happen to the expedition. The next animal of importance in these icy domains is the seal, which also yields a valuable oil, where it is impossible for travellers to take any quantity of necessaries in great bulk. Of these creatures, however, only two were caught, and eaten as delicacies. They are cunning in their habits ; and it required more time to watch for them than could be spared. There were immense numbers of sea-f'owi seen! but few of them shot for the kitchen Indeed, the expedition was one of such *inces sant labour and toil, that there was little oppor tunity for doing any thing thin g else but drag ging the boat, &c. on, and perseverin g in the principal object of the undertaking. .

No further particulars have transpired of the contents of the despatches, announcing the de parture of the Allied Ambassadors from Con stantinople on the Bth, the receipt of which we communicated yesterday. Private accounts, however, from Paris, state that the Ambassadors, on quitting the Turkish capital, were treated with all the respect due to their high station.— It is stated also, in some of the letters, that on the day preceding their departure, another attempt was made to detain them by a proposition on the part of the Turkish Goverment, for grant ing a general amnesty to the Greeks : but we have reason to believe that this statement is in correct, and that no disposition to yield had been shown by the SULTAN or Divan. The PORTE has exhibited an example of un bending firmness—or what may be called obsti nacy, which has few parallels, and which will, in all human probability, ultimately lead to the dis dua—Eagiapixe, .d the expulsion of the Ottoman Power from Europe. Frankfort Papers of the 28th ult. and Brussels Papers of the 2d inst. have reached us this fore noon, from which we make the following extracts. The Austrian Observer has published a Note presented in March last by Baron OT TENFELS to the PORTE, to induce it to accept the proposals of the Allied Powers. But after the inconsistent acts of the Austrian Govern ment in respect to this question, the authenti city of such a Note may, at this juncture, be more than questionable : BRUSSELS, DEC. 29. The Chamber of Commerce at Amsterdam, has just in formed the merchants that the Government has taken new measures for the protection of the commerce of the Netherlands in the Mediterranean and the Archipelago. FRAlsaCroar, DEC. 25. Letters from Vienna, received to-day, confirm the depar ture of the Ambassadors from Constantinople, though the Austrian Observer does not mention it; they also confirm the burning of the Greek Fleet, and add, that Lord Cochrane was brought on board the French Admiral's ship, but was re leased, after having pledged his word of honour not to undertake any thing against the Turks. It is singular that the Observer of Trieste, of the 18th, does not mention this news, which gives,' good reason to doubt its authenticity. FRANKFORT, DEC. 28. We have received to-day, by Express, the Austrian Observer of the 24th. To refute the reports spread by the French and English Journals, the Observer publishes a note delivered in the month of March to the Porte, by Baron Ottenfels, to induce it to accept the proposals of the Allied Powers. BRUSSELS, JAN. 1. General Sir G. S. Brown, Knight Companion of the Order of the Bath, who had resided for some time with his family at the Hotel de Bellevieu, died in the night of the 30th December, after an illness of a few hours only, regretted by all those who knew him. It is thought that the body will be sent to England. Hamburgh Papers of thl 29th• ult. have been received this morning. It appears that the Mo rocco corsairs are preparing tm o ships to cruize against Prussian and Hanseatic vessels, probably because their usual tribute has been delayed. How long are the Nations of Europe to submit to a nest of pirates, by granting such contribu tions-=alike disgraceful to their own Power, and the principles of independence upon which they profess to act ? The thing is a perfect anomaly in modern times, that a petty tribe of despots, with a few ships of war, should levy tribute from nations, any one of which is sufficiently strong to crush their pride ;—yet such is the fact—and must so continue till the States of Europ e are roused to a sense of duty, by reflect ing on the dishonour of subserviency NAMBURGIT, DEC. 27 . Official confirmation has been received of the disagree able intelligence that Morocco corsairs have been sent out to cruise against Hamb urg h s hi ps . A n official notice from the S p anish Consul at Tangiers, announces that two ships of 18 guns, and 1 50 men each, are already fitted out, which arc to cruise off Cape St. Vincent, against Prussian and Hanseatic ships. STOCKIIOLM, DEC. 18. The great Committee for revising the system of public education is convoked for the 4th January, and it is hoped that it will then remain assembled long enough to conclude its labours and present its report. The Beard of Trade having presented its report on the best distribution of the Consulates in the Levant, with a fixed salary for the Con suls, the Government has judged the present moment not suitable for a final decision, and has, meantime, left it to the Swedish Ambassador at Constantinople to appoint Vice-Consuls in ports of the Ottoman Empire (with the exception of Egypt, where, as usual, there will be a Consul-General, in the room of M. Baty), W I instead of the former Consular dues on the cargoes, has decided that the dues shall be charged on the vessels. The King has asked the Norwegian Government for its opinion on the necessity of convoking an extraordinary Storthing next February. On the night of the 7th, four large houses and some warehouses full of goods, at Abo, were destroyed by are. A young merchant of this town, who bad sent a quantity of iron and other goods there, loses above 40,000 rix dollars banco. We have lately lost some distinguished persons by death. Counsellor of State Count Von Wirsen was attacked by apoplexy at the beginning of this month, in consequence of extreme exertions in his official duties, and, though he afterwards recovered in some measure, he died on the 9th of this month, at the age of 60. The day before yester day died M. Castrom, Counsellor of Commerce, and Com missioner of the Exchange of Stockholm. He had been for several years Charge d'Affaires at the Courts of Warsaw, Dresden, Berlin, and London. He has bequeathed valuable collection• of natural history and works of art to tke Royal Museum and Library, and also to the University of Upsal. We have just received news of the death of Count Cedernjelm, in East Gothland. He was formerly tutor to the Crown Prince, and besides large donations to the town of Linkoping and to Noble widows in that province, he is said to have left to his Royal Highness his beautiful and valuable estate of Saby. BERLIN, DEC. 24. His Royal Highness Prince William, his Majesty's son, is gone to St. Petersburgb.

Von Mange, the Director of the Police, is sentenced to be cashiered, to live years' imprison ment, and 2,000 dollars costs. M. Windemeith, Chief Counsellor of Police, is also cashiered, and is to pay 1,000 dollars costs. HALLE, DEC. 20, Professor Geseni us has been invited to Gottingen, as Professor of Oriental Literature, in the room of the cele brated Eichhorn, but it is said that he has declined this honour. The following paragraphs are taken from the Journal de St. Petersburgh of the 18th ult., which has also come to band this foreneon Sr. PETERSBURGII, DEC. 16. To-day solemn Te Deum was performed in the chapel of the Winter Palace, in presence of the Emperor and Empresses, on account of the occupation of the city of Tauris by our troops. ST. PETERSEURGH, DEC. 15. At the foot of an Ukase lately issued by the Senate, and laid before the Emperor for signature, which related to the punishment to be inflicted upon Jews in various cases, the Emperor wrote with his own hand " So be it." But those among them who arc sentenced to exile in Si beria, and who are fit for military service, are to be taken for soldiers, and sent to Georgia. The Allgemeine Zeitung of the 28th tilt. was received this morning, but it contains nothing which had not been copied into the Gazette de France two days ago, except an article from Odessa, dated the 14th ult., alluding to the disastrous terms at which the Persian Empire has been oblig e d t o p urc h ase peace with Russia. The Metalliques, at Vienna, declined on the re ceipt of the news from Constantinople, on the 24th of December, to 88k. The following are extracts : WARSAW, DEC. 11. We have learnt from St. Petersburgh that the prelimi naries of peace with Persia were signed on the 28th of Nov. in a village -- .eav -- renrie; -- vy - enewasgiati - diplomatic agent M. Obreskow, and a second plenipotentiary. The pro vince of Erivan on both sides of the Araxes, from the foot of Mount Arrarat, to the Caspian sea, is by this treaty in corporated with the Russian Empire. The Persians en gaged at the same time, to indemnify the Russians for the expences of this campaign, which are estimated at eighteen million rubles ; till this sum is paid the Russian troops will remain in pessession of all the strong places which they now hold, including Tauris. Private letters from Brody say that some unpleasant disputes bad arisen there on entering some foreign merchandise at the custom-house, so that the authorities in the respective frontier provinces were obliged to interfere. ODESSA, DEC. 14. The peace with Persia is concluded on the most glorious terms for Russia, the whole province of Erivan, and all the defiles which make the Persian Empire dependant upon us in a military point of view, are ceded to us. This is the price at which Abbas Mirza has secured for himself the recognition of his right to succeed to them. VIENNA, DEC. 23. Metalliques . 891 Bank Shares 1,049 VIENNA, DEC. 24.

Great expectations are entertained that an armistice will take place. The Government of Catalonia is going to be newly or ganized, which will be divided in two parts. This: order will also establish General Monet, Commander of High Catalonia, and the seat of Government will be Vich ; and in Lower Catalonia, General Caratala, will have the com mand, and his residence will be at Reus or Valle. ZANTE, DEc. 10.—(PRIVATE LETTER.)-The last news from the Levant is very satisfactory for the liberty of Commerce ; a great part of the Greek ships under Lord Cochrane have given chase to some of the most daring pirates of the Archipelago, destroying a great number of them. This Admiral, who arrived lately in the waters of Messenie, attacked the famous golette corsair, Kukuzzi, and took seven men prisoners, the others got on shore ; another go -16 guns and 96 men, escaped by its superior sailing, but carryingbut two French ships were in pursuit of the above vessel, trid great hopes were entertained of her capture. In our Paper of Tuesday last we considered how far the late Treaty for the deliveranc e of Greece was founded on justice. The expediency of the measure is, however, a totally different con sideration. There can be no injustice, there can be no moral wrong, in interfering to protect the weak from the oppression of the strong ; and, where glaring atrocities are committed, th e case is still m ore c l ear on th e gro und of j us ti ce. I t may, nevertheless, be very inexpedient ; and nei ther nations nor individuals arc bound to en ter into Quixotic schemes for redressing the wr o ngs of their neighbours, without first consid er ing whether they' have the power. They cannot throw expediency out of the scale of their deli berations, as it is manifest th a t by ra sh interfer ence they might only aggravate all the e yil s whirl they were endeavouring to relieve, • an d bring dow n upon themselves swift destruction, sharing in the ruin which they could not pr ev ent. Accordingly we find that, at different pe r i o d s , great injustice and most cruel wrongs have been committed, and on a great scale too, which th e most powerful nations of Europe have not stirred a foOt to prevent, and in this case it was nothing but considerations of expediency which kept them quiet. The perpetrators of the enormities complained of were too powerful to be resisted, and it was clear that any interference by other nations would lead to an arduous, protracted, and possibly an unsuccessful war, which occa sioning as it would do, the most extensive misery, might in the end rivet the chains which it was intended to break. Thus, in the case of the in vasion and conquest of Poland by Russia, Austria, and Prussia, one of the most flagrant and revolting iniquities of modern times— France and England beheld, without interfering, this daring act of spoliation—they beheld this ancient kingdom overrun with Russian troops, her armies dispersed, and her inhabitants mas sacred. But they did not deem it expedient to interpose, and to enter on a war with the power ful despots who made spoil of this peaceable country. In like manner Great Britain did not deem it expedient to oppose the late French in vasion of Spain. We had newly emerged from au arduous conflict, in the course of which we had suffered severely ; we were engaged in healing the breaches made by this destructive contest, and we did not deem it expedient to gird on our armour anew, and to enter for the de fence of Spain into a war of which no one could see the end. In all these cases our policy was modified by considerations of expediency ; we were warranted ; but we were not bound to inter fere. Every nation must be allowed to judge of its own circumstances, where it is prudent to stand neuter, and where to put forth its strength. With regard to the present interference of the Allies for the deliverance of Greece, it is clearly justifiable upon every ground of expediency as well as of justice, for what do the Allies hazard by their interference ? They are a fearful over match for their opponents both by land and Turkey is a crazy Power crumbling She has not the means of equip sea. ;o ruin. ping eith er fl ee t s or arm i es . She is op posed by three Powers, with neither of whom, single-handed, is she fit to contend ; what prospect has she then of resisting their united strength ? The pacification of Greece is the single and specific object which the Allies have in view. They cannot be directly thwarted in this design : and is it to be supposed that they will be awed from their course by the threat of a general war ? On which vulnerable point, it may be asked, would Turkey, if she were resolved on wsr, commence the attack ? Would it be by sea, where she has already received so sweet a foretaste of her future triumphs ? Would she send her armaments into the jaws of destruction —would that promote her cause ? And, by land, would she encounter the iron grasp of Russia ? would she commence offensive hostili ties against that Power ? would she invade the Russian territory ? this project would be too preposterous even for the ignorance of barbarians. But if the Allies are invulnerable both by land and sea, what possible hazards do they incur by their present measures ? They must accom- plish the object they have in view ; and, as it is a laudable object, to rescue the weak from the oppression of the strong, we cannot see how such generous policy should be distasteful to any but the barbarians themselves. With regard to the extension of the Russian power in the East, and tke danger that might possibly arise from this quarter to our Indian possessions, we consider this to be a most com- plete chimera. There is no doubt that we give the rein to our imaginations, we may construct hypotheses of danger equally plausible and ingenious, and may succeed in raising as good an alarm as we could wish among the misjudging and the ill-informed. But does any one seriously believe that our Indian empire is in any danger from a Treaty for the pacification of Greece ? This topic may, along with others, be thrown as a small make-weight iitto le scale of delusion—but no one believes in this danger—no one feels it—it is a mere theory, got up to answer a particular purpose, and may be safely left to sink under the weight of its own evident absurdity. Our City Correspondent informs us, that a report is prevalent in the City that accounts have been re ceived this morning from Vienna, that the Russian Am bassador had left that city, in consequence of which the Metalliques had fallen one per cent. Our Cor respondent adds, that on making strict inquiry he ascertains that letters have been received from Vienna, of so late a date as the 26th ult., which do not mention such an occurrence. Accounts from Hamburgh of the 28th ult. state the Exchange on London as half a groat higher, and Gold NI per Cent. higher. Letters from Constantinople of the sth ult., by the mail, state that the SULTAi had stopped all vessels laden with corn, for which the Turks have paid one-third in money, and given bonds for the rest, after which the ships were suffered to proceed to their destination. Great preparations for war still continue in the above capital. CITY, THREE O'CLOCK.—An eminent com mercial house has this day received Letters from Constan tinople of the 10th ult. They mention the Ambassadors having left on the Bth, and add that every thing was tran quil up to the day of the letters leaving. The merchants and others were however preparing for the immediate em barkation of themselves and families, which apparently would be permitted without molestation. The Rev.

The English Funds are in a state of little activity to-day, and the effect which might have been ex pected, from the confirmation of the Allied Ambas sadors having left the Turkish capital, seems to have .been fully anticipated ; in fact it appears that this event has been rather the means of causing a con trary effect to that which might naturally be expected. The eyes of the speculators are now steadily directed to the banks of the Pruth, the next arrivals from which may be extremely interesting ; still there are those who think hostilities may be avoided.— Consols opened at 83i 4, and are now 84i 4 for account; India Bonds are 83 5, and Exchequer Bills, 54 5 pm.
