The Committee having been applied to by that of Gibraltar,
stating their funds were exhausted, and unequal to the relief of
those Spaniards who had sought an asylum at Tangiers, have
sent a sum which they hope will be sufficient for temporary as-
sistance; and they cannot lose this opportunity of repeating,
that the claims upon their reduced means are every day in-
awed by new arrivals ; but they trust that the active benevo-
lence of the British Public will enable them to meet the ac-
cumulating demands upon that generosity, of which the Com-
mittee has been the zealous, and, they hope, the judicious
instruments.

The Committee request that any Subscribers wishing to be
`informed, in detail, of the application of the funds, will attend
for that purpose at its weekly meetings, when all the accounts
Will be laid before him for his examination.

NARRATIVE of a JOURNEY to the SHORES of the
POLAR SEA, in the years 1819, 20, 21, 22; by Jona(
Fn.&xxx.rx, Captain R. N., F.R.S., 51.W.5., and Coin-

mander of the Eipedi4on.

The above work has been sometime published
in quarto, and the sufferings of Captain FRANK...
LIN and his party in the return from the Shores
of the Polar Sea are so fully before the public
that it would be superfluous to attempt a narra-
tion. The present edition is in two ♦olumes
octavo, by which means general readers will be
able to gratify their curiosity at a less expence.
The plates and appendix of Natural History,
&c. &c. are necessarily omitted, but the maps of
the different routes of the party are giypn.

In the introduction, Captain FRANKLIN gives
some statements relative to the moral condition
of the Indians. and servants belonging to the
Company's posts, which are not included in the
quarto edition. The information is such as every
good Christian will be pleased to hear, and at
the same time will feel surprise, that a coldness,
almost as keen as the climate in that part of
America, should have existed so long towards our
fellow-creatures. We shall give the words of the
intrepid Travellet :
" In the ensuing narrative, the notices of the moral condition
of the Indians, as influenced by the conduct of the traders to-
wards them, refer entirely to the state in which it existed during
our progress through the.country ; but, lest I should have been
mistaken respecting the views of
.the Hudson's Bay Company
on these
points, I' gladly embrace the opportunity which a
second edition affords me of stating, that the junction of the
two Companies has enabled the Directors to put in practice the
improvements which, I have reason to believe, they have long
contemplated. They have provided for religious instruction by
the appointment of two clergymen of the Established Church,
under whose direction schoolmasters and mistresses are to be
placed at such stations ax afford the means of support for the
establishment of schools. The offspring of the voyagers and
labourers are to be educateXchiefly at the expence of the Com-
pany; and sach of the Indian children as their parents may
wish to send to these schools, are to be instructed, clothed,
and maintained at the expence of the Church Missionary
Society, which has already allotted a considerable sum for these
Isurposes, and it has also sent out teachers, who are to act under
the superintendence of the Reverend Mr. WEST, the principal
Chaplain of the Company.
" We had the pleasure of meeting this gentleman at York
Factory, and witnessed, with peculiar delight, the great benefit.
which had already marked his zealous and judicious conduct.
Many of the traders, and of the servants of the Company, have
been induced to marry the women with whom they had cohabit-
ed ; a material step towards the improvement of the females in
that country.
" Mr. WErr, under the sanction of the Directors, has also
promoted a subscription for the distribution of the Bible in
every part where the Company's fur trade has extended, and
which has met with very general support from the resident
chief lectors, traders, and clerks. The Directors of the Com-
pany are continuing to reduce the distribution of spirits gra-
dually among the Indians, as well as their own servants, with
a view to the entire disuse of them as soon as thin most desirable
object can be accomplished. They have likewise issued out
orders for the cultivation of the ground at each of the posts, by
which means the residents will be far less exposed to famine
whenever, through the scarcity of animals, the sickness of the
Indians, or any other cause, their supply of meat may fail.
" It is to be hoped that intentions so dear to every humane
and pious mind, will, through the blessing of God, meet with
the utmost success."

In the hopes of the dauntless Traveller we
most heartily join, and sincerely wish, that should
his valuable life be spared through the perilous
journey he is about to undertake to Mackenzie,'
River, in the Polar Sea, we shall on his return
learn that his recommendatiof► and the measures
adopted by the Hudson's Bay Company have
been attended with the most beneficial advan-
tages, and thus that the name of FRANKI:Iti,
which is so well known in one part of America,
may be extended to its most northern limit.
