EXTRAORDINARY VOYAGE.

The Russian ship General Suwarroff, now at
Portsmouth, is about to proceed on what may
appear a most extraor:linary voyage, being none
other than the completion of two military and
comlnercial establishments on the West Coast of
;North Anierica. The Russian government have,
for nearly ren years past, bad , a fort, with a few
pieces of ordnance, mounted on the island of Ro-
diak, in lat. 55. N. and long. 160. W. being the
nearest point of the AmeriCan continent to their
establishment at Karntschatka. Within these
four years they have began to form another
establishment, on the neck of la td called Cali-
fornia, and this ship takes out ordnance and
tores of eVery description, to give to it an ap-
pearance of military .strength.----The trade the
littssicins carry on thither, which is very great, is
ivrVilly in furs, for Which article they find a lticra-
tive market in China, from whence they. bring to
Europe the produce and manufactures of that
country, and are -enabled, from their competition
with each other, to afford it to the European con-
tinent at a cheaper rate than this country. The
General Suwarroff also endeavour, in the
height of next summer, to discover a passage
through tittering's Straits,'and, in a North West-
erly direction, to Archangel. A gentleman who
„is on board her, declares, that on a. former voyage
of tliscovery, be was more than half yay through
the Northern Seas of Cape North to Archangel,
when the ship was stopped by ,the ice : this ad-
venture left only about 400 miles unexplored, to.
compiete the circuit of the world. "-

money he appropriated to his own pnrposes.
The question was, whether the plaintiff had
Paid 'the money to him solely, or was dealing with
the partnership iirm, so as to tender the other
partner, t)! e other defendant, liable. Several let-
ters were read written, by the plaintiff to Mr. Lee,
in which he s•
weeined to treat as with him person-
ally ; but it hs argued on behalf of,the plaintiff,
that it was usual when there were several,parties
in the house, that the clients consulted some one
M the partners and some another, hut that the
business of each was clone for the benefit of the
whole, and that all were liable.
The Jury withdrew to consider the verdict, and
returned at length in.favour of the plaintiff.
