NORTHERN EXPEDITION.

(From the Edinburgh Evening Courant of Monday.

CAPTAIN ROSS AND HIS CHEW.

We stop the press to communicate the following
highly gratifying intelligence of the safety of this
enterprising officer and the brave men under his
command, which we received this morning in an
extract of a letter from Captain Lyle, of the Claren-
don, from Davis' Straits fishery, which arrived off
Peterhead on Saturday last :

" Captain Ross and his clew are on board of the Isa-
bella, Captain Humphreys. They are all well, excepting
three seamen, who died. Had a boat's crew of his men
on the 18th September, but can give no particulars. Suf.
fice it to say, all are well with the three exceptions."

ARCTIC LAND EXPEDITION IN SEARCH OF

CAPTAIN ROSS.

The following letter has been received from Cap-
tain Mick (being the first since he left Montreal,

where he may b- said to have commenced his under-
taking), and is now published for the information
of the numerous friends and subscribers to his
expedition:—

" Norway-house, Jack River, June 19, 1833.

"My dear M.--I wrote to you last (I think) from
Montreal ; since which I am happy to inform you my
proeress has been unimpeded by accident, though attended
with more expense than it was possible to foresee. On
arriving at the Sault St. Marie (I love the name), which
we effected ten days earlier than the light canoe of the last
season, we were informed that there was such a deficiency
of provisions in the Indian country that it would be ne.
cessary to take a supply at once as far as Lake Nit'innipee.
This obliged me to purchase another canoe, to get across
Lake Superior, and from that establishment I ee,eiverl
the two north canoes prepared for the expedition by the
Company.
" We arrived at Fort Alexander on the 6'h of June,
which, for heavy canoes, is considered as being remarkably
quick. the despatch canoe from Montreal having only got
there one day earlier. The letters that you and I saw at
the Hudson's Bay House in December last, together with
others of mine to Governor Simpson, were in that cams.,
aid consequently but a short time before me. I had tens
to apprehend that the arrimiements relating to the expedi-
tion could not have been completed from the w Int of the
necessary informatkn ; and therefore the importune ~f
seeing the Governor myself was evident, and on the 10th
of June I hid that pleasure at Fart Alex inaler. I then
heard that the supplies were nearly all at Comberlan
house ; but as we could not by any exertion procure the
men required ior the expedition at Montreal, it was nectar.
sary fur me to come to this post to complete their number.
And now I am sorry to say we are obliged to pay very
high wages ; besides which, I have lost full 300 miles by
this delay, unavoidable in itself.
" It is the opinion of the senior gentlemen here, then,
that the only method we can adopt to get my two !age
heavy boats to a wintering ground is for me to go on in a
light canoe myself, and find out the exact situation and
the best route to the Thloo-ee-cho, which I hope to do by
the time the boats arrive at the Athabasca, where there
shall be a guide to conduct them to me. Now, my dear
friend, though I must do this to insure my operations next
year, yet it will swell our expenses to more than I contem-
plated, and you cannot conceive how feverish I am at the
thought of getting beyond the 7.000/., for it is certain
this sum will scarcely carry us to the three years, whereas
an additional 1,000/. would be amply sufficient. Pray see,
then, what can be done, and make me quiet about this.
" I am now in the midst of bustle and annoyance—
hiring and persuading men to go. I shall write again by
the ship. -On this occasion you are the only person in
England to whom I purpose writing, therefore make my
kind regards to all my friends, and especially to those who
have been active and are interested in our good cause.
" Yours ever, " GEORGE BACK.
" King is very amiable, and will make a good voyageur."
