DiscovEaar Si-rtes.--Ni) information, we under•
stand, has been received at the Admiralty from
Lieutenant PARRY, and no doubt any longer
exists of his remaining out dining the winter.—
The last account of the Hecla and Griper is de-
rived from one of the whalers, who saw them
when about a day's sail from the eintance into
Sir James Lancaster's Sound. It is strongly con-
jectured Lieutenant PARRY has passed through
Lancaster Sound, as it is understood, in the event
of his meeting any impediment to such procrenin,
'he was to mike the best of 'his way to Sir Tkozois
Smith's Sound ; and had he been compelled to
adopt this latter measure, there is every proba-
bility that he must have been seen or heard of
by some of the whalers which were in Baffin's
Bay.
