THE ARCTC SHIP RESOLUTE.

PORTSMOUTH, Du 14.

The interest t rcited here by the arrival of this •hip
'wallow,' unabated. The only difficulty we feel is to find
out tbe Jest mode of acknowledging the compliment which
has been pal to this country by the United States govern-
! meat and Cossirefe, sod of expressing our desire to live in
cordial friendship with the American people. The weather
on Friday night was so thick, and the wind wee so high,
that it WY almost impossible to communicate with Spit
head bat at See o'clock yesterday morning the
Sprig itly steamer, Nast..? Commanding George Allen.
was not out to the Resolute with a goodly sup-
ply of the Gaut beef, vegetables, and other articles
from the royal naval stores at Clarence-yard. The weather
vas st1:1 very rough, the wind blowing a gels, the rein
falling in torrents, and thunder and lightning pealiog and
fiatbsog in • wit extraordinary meaner, considering the
time o year. The Skrightly, n helm, bald on, and
delivered her stores, which it may be presumed were
se:apt:ibis on board, after the 27 days the Runlets had
been coming Liam New York. The length of this voyage
may be nolunted for by the peculiarity of the Resolute',
baud, and the heavy timbers with which she bad been for-
tilled to eaab'• her to stand collision with the ice. Indeed
it ie considered that the Atnerioan officers and crewmuat have
exercised great siia in w►manship in getting her home es
fast, 40 days having been: set down es the period to which
the verge would extend. The S2rightly returning to
shore, came into harbour at 9 o'clock, having on board
Captain Hartsteine, the commending officer of the Resolute,
who on landing vieittel the Chevalier l'eppalardo, the
United Sktee vice consul at this port, sad then proceeded
with bum ts the official residscces of the commander-in-

chief, Vice Admiral Sir G. Seymour; the Lieutenant-
°MlMl?, Maj:r•General Breton; Admiral Superintendent
Martin ud the Mayor of the borough, C. Crusts:ler,
Big. Subsequently Captain Umatilla* proceeded to London
with despatches for the Admiralty and the American
Ambersedor, containing the formal offer of the gift of the
Resolute to the British nation.

At noon the Shinano, 51, strew frigate at Spithead,
Captain W. Pee, C. 8., hoisted the United States colours,
and flee_a a salute to the British Big on behalf of the Rno•
Lute, that ship having no armament on board. It ern
noticed as an interesting circumstance that the ship selected
on this ccessicic by an American captain to @Mote the
British flag vu cue hearing the same name as the old
Blaminon, which in the vat of 1812 vas saccusfully (though
honourably to !nth antic's) engaged with the Amnions
frigate CCuspeake. The Ittsolnte, after the Shannon's
salute, baited down the American colturs and hoisted the
British union jack ; the (alnico then hoisting the Han and
stripe on the King's bastion, cad saluting them with 21
gnu.
