A letter from Captain ELMES, of the Ship George,
of Greenock, to his owners, dated PitSion, 24th of
May, says :—" On the 6th of April, in lat. 45. 40.
long. 47. 30. fell in with the ice, and was forced to
the southward as far as lat. 41. 30. several Ships and
Brigs in sight. On lath April, in a' thick fog,
struck on an island of ice and stove in her bows and
cutwater, and started her breast hooks ; and, after
being jammed in by the ice, till the 28th, the Ship
making much water, the crew, e 6 in number, for
the preservation of their lives, got-upon the ice and
hauled their boat upon it, where, being for 17 days
(latter part in nearly a starving state) they got off by
the assistance of a Vessel bound to Quebec, and
have all arrived safely at Pktou, except two of the
men, who went up to. Quebec. By a letter from
Captain M‘Mtu.str, of the Neva, we learn, they
boarded the Ship George, on the 28th, after the
crew had left her ; and on the 29th, at three o'clock
in the morning, weather being clear, saw her go
down."
The Earl ,of CHATHAM has given the necessary
orders for his immediate departure, as Commander
in Chief of the intended grand expedition. His
Lordship is not to be superseded in the Ordnance
Department ; Sir TtiomAs TftwGa, as Deputy, will
preside at the head of that office during his Lord-
ship's absence.
The daughter of Lord VERNON, according to re-
porkin the fashionable circles, is speedily to give her
.viand to the Hon. Mr. HEaIiERT, second son of Lord
SHEFFIELD.

The fashionable females are, it seems, lessening
their waist. We hope the new measure wil.. apply
to another habit, of the same sound, but different
, orthography.
