The -fitting of the Griper, Captain LYON, at
Deptford, proceeds with the greatest rapidity,
and great numbers of visiters daily go on board,
who enter their several names in a book prepared
for that purpose. Nearly all the stores are em-
barked, and among them is an extensive supply
of pounded dried beef, to which melted fat has
been added, and prepared after the manner
practised by the Indians in the•northern parts of
America, and called Pemmicar, but which they
make of venison dried in the sun, or over large
fires. A large quantity of gum Arabic is also on
board, to be used by the party who proceed on the
sushipro,e!einstimbthwuientorleino't,encst'aelablkegeot

on the Ist of next month for Northlleet, and there
receive on board the mathematical instruments)
after which she will drop down to the Nore for
the officers and men to be paid their wages, and
sail direct to Repulse Bay.
