Lord HOLLAND expressed his approbation of the
principle recognised in the Treaty of searching
Spanish ships suspected of being engaged in the

paid by the British Government appeared to him

VOYdGE OF DISCOVERY.

Captain David Buchan, of the Pike, and Cap.
trio John No-s, of the Driver, are appointed to
conduct the enterprise for the Discovery of a North.
West Passage. These Officers will have commands
of ships, with each a brig, commanded by a Lieu-
tenant, under them. Captain Roses division will
take the course through Davis's Straits; whilst
Captain Buchan, with his two vessels, will pene-
trate as far to the North Pole as inissible. The
Dorothea (the late Congo, employed in explor-
ing Africa), is the ship Captain Buchan is ap-
pointed to command. The doubling of the ships
for the service is going on at Nlerchants'yarils, un-
der the inspect►on of King's officers from the dock-
yards. Their bottom-plonk. Or about two sod
hall inches thick, has been taken off, and is replac-
ing by plank of about six inches thick, which will
be sheathed with board, and then coppered. Their
equipment, in every depintinent, will be upon the
most liberal scale; nothing will be withheld that may
be suggested as likely t contribute either to the
success of the enterprize, or the comforts of those
employed. The crews are to be selected from among
seamen who have been accustomed to the Green-
land trade, who are to receive double wages, sod a
gratuitous ample supply of every necessary article
of warm clothing. As the ;easels will take no oilier
kind of ballast but whet will serve us fuel (coals,
wood, &c.), they will have a supply of tl►is neces-
sary equal to five years consumption : the provi-
sions will be stowed amongst it. Ths ships will be
ready to proceed early in ,March next.

THE !WORTH POLE.

entitled " The Possibility of approorhiog the North
Pole asserted." By the How. D. Barrington.—Read at a
bleetnix of the Royal Society, May 10, 1771.

As I was the unworthy proposer of the voyage
towards the North Pole, which the Council of the
Royal Society recommended to the Board of Ad-
miralty, 1 think it my duty to lay before the So-
c•iety such intelligence as I have happened to pro-
cure with regard to navigators having reached
high northern latitudes (1) ; because some of these
accounts seem to promise, that we may proceed far-
ther towards the Pule than the very able officers,
who were sent ou this destination lest year, were
permitted to penetrate, notwithstanding their re-
peated efforts to pass beyond eighty degrees and
a half.

NUREMBERG, SEPTEMBER 19.

Print* Blucher tesiiled at Carlsbad, in the
White Lion, in the market-place, and left it on
the 10th of September, in the morning, in the brat
health, to go to his estates of Krublowitz, near
Breslau. The waters there so beneficial, that lie
has hired apartments in the same house for every
summer us long as he lives. The Princess his con-
sort, his Ai,le-de-Camp Count Nostits, and all hie
attendants, left Carlsbad with him.
The young nobleman who last spring killed his
father by firing two shuts at him, was expected to
be punished according to the Hungarian law, by
the loss of both hands and of his head ; but it now
appear* that the deed was rather a defence against
his father, than an attack upon him, by which the
whole affair assumes another face. The father was
from his youth a singular character, extremely
passionate, tyrannical, and cruel, of which many
instances are related. It appears that the son in
al/ probability, hastily seised the blunderbuss on an
occasion when his father was going to fall upon
him with snore than usual fury, and in his sur.
prise drew the trigger, perhaps involuntarily. The
sentence will therefore be very different, it is sup-
posed, from what was first expected, and be still
further mitigated in the last triAtance.—(lVereet-
