[7'he Times]

In one of the ships belonging to the Hudson's
Bay Company, which recently left the River for
their settlements, Lieutenant Franklyn, la'e Com-
mander of the 'crew, in the expedition to reach
the North Pole, has taken his passage fur the
purpose 0 exploring that part of Amt., ica to the
uroliiward of iludson'3 Bay. The route this
officer is to tike Nvill be nt arly the same as 11141
puritted by Mr. Hearne, in 1770, who stated that
hr remihed the sea at the entrance of Copper Mine
Lieutenant Franklyn will be accomp wed
by about five Europeans, one of whom is a silt.
geon ; and on their arrival at tie Copper Mine
rinse, are to ptirstte such further course as miy
appear proper.—During the voyage of discovery
last year to Baffin's-hay, a boitlEe was thrown into
the sea from the Alexander, Lieut. Parry, on the
2-111 i M y, when that ship was oil Cape yarewell.
It contained the latitude and longitude the ship
was then in. About two worths since the bottle was
found on the is'and of liartragh, in Killala-hay,
and an account of it forwarded to the Admiralty.
It is supposed it must have floated at about the
rate of eight miles per day across the Atlantic.

JERSEY.

ST. HRLIERS, MAY 28.—His Excellency Ma-
jor-General Mackay Gordon arrived from Eng-
land in the Lion Revenue cutter to-day, at one
o'clock, P. M. On his landing a salute of 15
guns was fired from Elizabeth Castle : hi. Ex-
cellency drove up to Government-house in his
open carriage, attended by Lientenanr-Colonel
De Butts, of the Engineers, the Acting Lietarea
nail( Governor. There was no guard of honour,
as his Excellency did not wish to make a public
entry.
After the arrival of Wednesday's packet, a re-
port (which we have every reason to believe to
be true) was circulated, that one of the transports,
having on board a detachment of the 33d regi-
ment of foot, in coining round the point off
Guernsey in the evening of Wednesday last, and
the weather very heavy, struck on a rock and
went to pieces, but happily the crew and detach-
ment were all saved. Further particulars cow.
ceriting the loss, &c. are anxiously expected by
the Guernsey packet.
It was expected, when provisions were allowed
to be exported from France, that the market
would be over-stacked, anti that the meat would
he sold at 3d. per lb.; however, the contrary is
the case. Except the few live cattle, sheep, and
pigs brought over, nothing comes ; the little meat
that does is sold at fid. and 7(1. per lb. The French
say it is so dear at present on the opposite coast
that they would lose by bringing it. A vessel
came in yesterday from Benneville with cattle,
sheep, &c. The face of the country is beautiful,
every thing very forward, and great appearance of
a fine harvest. We shall have cherries very soon,
and apricots, peaches, and nectarines very for-
ward, and a promise of more grapes than has been
known for years.

RETRENCHMENT IN THE TOWER.

Some ittiportant alterations are going on in the
Tower, tinder the direction of the Duke of I'Vel-
lington. The :circumstances which led to these
alterations were simply these :—The, Gallant
Duke, from the nature of the important service
in which he has been engaged during the late war,
had occasion to be up early and late, and crsnse-
quently to find, on every review, each subordinate
at his station. On being appointed to a corm-
'nand at borne, be some weeks since repaired
to the office, !tabbed in his usual plain man-
ner, and arrived there shortly after eleven o'clock.
In the ball he found the porter, to whom he
was unknown, lighting the fire. The Duke in-
quired, " Is Mr. -- here?" naming the head of
the particular department, *hose salary .and emo-
luments are about 2,0001. per a►►nutn " No, Sir,"
was the reply. This led to some further questions
as to the time of commencing business, when his
Grace was informed that Mr. -- did not make his
appearance till one o'clock each day, and retired
about two '' Tell Mr. said the Duke,
" I wish to speak to him." " I dare not send to
him," replied the porter. The Duke repeated the
des;re rather in the tone of command, on which the
porter requested to have the Gentleman's card to
hand to Mr. ---. " Card !" exclaimed the Duke,
" tell him the Duke of Wellington desires he will
come to the Office immediately." The affrighted
porter lost no time in conveying the message,
and Mr. received a lesson which he will not
easily forget.

[Morning Herald.]

The whole of the Sub-Committee of Drury-
lane Theatre have, it is said, resigned, and the
season will be closed immediately after the ticket
nights. Mr. KEAN, it is said, is about to treat
with the Proprietors to take the House at an an-
nual rental before its re-opening.

LONDON,
WEDNESDAY, JUNE 2, 1819.

We received this morning the Paris Papers of
Sunday :last. In the Chamber of Deputies on
Saturtky the KEEPER of the SEALS fires .uteri the
pnjet, as agreed to by the Peers, for tbe.andition
of the Droit d'Anbaine ; it was ordered to be re-
ferred to the Bureaux. The discussion was then
resumed on the projet respecting the Estimates
fur the service of 1819. An amendment, moved
by M. PONSARD for increasing the sum de-
voted to Allowances to the Clergy, was got rid of by
the previous question, and the further discussion,
as to a number of articles, was adjourned till
Monday. On account of the Feast of Pentecost,
the Journals were not to be published cn Mon-
day.,--The following are extracts
Nam, MAY 30.—Yesterday a deputation of
the Chamber of Peers delivered to his Majesty the
projet respecting the Journals. The King after-
wards transacted business with the Marquess Des-
saes.

" On the 26th inst. the Bishops who were at
St. Denis profited by the opportunity after the
ceremony to take into consideration the important
business with which they are occupied. A letter
to the Pope was read, and the Bishops are to as-
semble again fur the pu4pose of signing it.

" The statement of the intended formation of
pleasure camps in Alsace, to be commanded by a
Marshal, is entirely destitute of foundation.
" A state carriage is building which is to used
at the ceremony of the Coronation.
" A German Journal states, that the Religious
Orders and the Catholic Clergy ,of Russia have re-
quested the expulsion of Jesuits.

" MADRID, MAY 17.--The three ships which
have sailed from Cadiz have no troops on board,
the Viceroy of Lima having only asked for ships ;
his land force, it is said, is sufficient to repulse
any debarkation attempted by the army of Chili."

It is stated in some of the French Papers, on
the foundation of reports from Malta, that Ad-
miral FREEMANTLB has been ordered to ,send.from
the Mediterranean Squadron " several ships of
the line, frigates, and sloops of war," without de-
lay to England. We observe that The Times of
this day considers this news as " improbable," but
with all our respect for the sagacity and general
intelligence of that Paper, we are of a different
opinion, as it corresponds exactly with our infor-
mation of the critical state of affairs in France,
and the judicious measures to be prepared for
events, to which we have before alluded, that are
in active movement at borne.

NVe are by no means surprised to find that great
exultation, prevails among. the Jacobinical Re-
formists in France, particularly in Paris, in con-
sequence of the Debates in Parliament respecting
our. Paper Currency, who conceive, from the mis-
conceptions, the misrepresentations, and the. cla-
mour of Opposition, that we are on the brink of
ruin. Hence these Jacobinical Reformers natu-
rally suppose that if, by their artifices, they can
again excite a Revolution its France, which of
course will lead to the disturbance of all
the. other Powers of Eusope, we may be
the less able to assist the general cause,
and check the force of the democratical tor-
tent. Such is the effect of those clamours
on the part of our Opposition, in and nut
of Parliament. At first those clamours spread a
gloom over the whole people, as was evident from
the state of. the Funds, but the panic was soon
over, and people begin to be sensible of the danger
of too soon returning to a metallic currency, MS
they are persuaded that we are perfectly safe in the
continuance of the Paper Currency, till the oche,. can

be o.opetiy regiuretL We inay ask ;36 ,rtkil
tradesman if he has no[ L full coninente in the sol'
Tetley and integrity Of the Bank, and if the most
distressing embailassments would not result from
too restricted a circOlation of Notes. But
to return to France. It has long been our firm
persuasion that the tranquillity of that Country,
and the preservation of the Monarchy, depend
entirely on the life of the present King. His
amiable character, his mild virtues, his know-
ledge, his experience, and his excellent under-
standing, ripened and improved in the school of
adversity, cannot but excite the esteem of all
well-disposed Frenchmen, and must even produce
awe in the minds of those who are of a contrary
desoriptiGn ; but, when he is gone, the impression
of his venerable qualities will be gone With bins ;
furious debates, tumors, and revolutionary mea-
sures Will be proposed, and there will be rd°
many disposed to

the work sn nobly incited by the glorious per!e"
vetance of Great Britain, and so happily followe4
by the Combined Powers, tviil be

performed, with inipaired resources and increafol
difficulties. That our Government arc aware 41
these probable consequences, mud are providing for
the expected course of events, is evident,hy the pre
parat ions at which we have repeatedly hinted, Loa
which, though cautiously, ate vigorously carrca
on, and which will at letist sccnre this country,
whatever may be the consequence to other States'

We are sorry to see The Morning Chronicle ('P'
posing again this day the ATTOffNEf-GENBRACII
Bill for preventing British Subjects from enlistirt
in a service hostile to that Government with whicb
we are connected in pacific relations, and wilh
which it is our interest always to be united i°
amicable ties. Does The Chronicle reflect npoli
the unjust, illiberal, and impolitic tendency of
its reasoning. What was thought of France far
interposing in the dispute between this Countri
and its Colonies, and by which she suffered
severe retribution in the ruin of her Monarch,'
and the erection of a Military Despotism ? Ana
what should we,.think of Spain, it she were in a
state of prosperity, and were to send troops 11"
assist treason and rebellion in any of our distant
territories. Were The Chronicle to look i°
the baleful consequences of its doctrines and its
reasonings, it would surely be struck with 91
sense of justice, and some regard to the La° Q
Nations, and not «i4ll us to lend our aid to ate
enemies of a Power with which we are in alliance
merely because we may derive commercial adt3a.
tages from her misfortunes, when we might ba
sure of those advantages, if they were founded,
upon the value of our commodities, and the iv
few ity of our dealings, whatever' may be the 601
result of the unhappy differences in question.
