It. N. F. 11.5. and Commander of the Expedition. tto.
Captain Franklin's anxiously-expected work has at
lensth appeared, and will afford she amplest gratifi-
cation to the public expectation. The Narrative of
Captain Franklin is not only valuable and interesting
for the details it gives of one of the most arduous expe-
ditions ever undertaken, but, in reference to the solution
of that great geographical problem, the North-West
Passage, which another of our brave countrymen is
endeavouring to explore: and, in the absence of in.!
telligente from Captain Parry, we are very happy to
quote the opinion of an individual so well able to
judge of the subject as Captain Franklin, relative to
the probable success of our Arctic Expedition. He says,
44 Our researches, as far as they have gone, seem.
to favour the opinion of those who contend for the
practicability of a North-West Passage, the general line.
of coast probably runs east and west, nearly in the
latitude assigned to Miickenzie's giver, the Sound
into which Kotzebue entered, and Repulse Bay ; and
very little doubt can, in my opinion, be entertained
of the existence Of a continued sea, in or about that
line of direction. The existence of whales too, on
this part of the coast, evidenced by the whalebone
we found in Esquimaux Cove, may be considered as
an argument for an open sea ; and a connexion with
?ludson's Bay is rendered more probable from the
same kind of fish abounding on the coasts we visited,
and on those to the north of Churchill River. I al-
lude more particularly to the Capelin or Salmo Arc-
ticus, which we fouud in large shoals in Bathurst's
Inlet, and which not only abounds, as Augustus told
us, in the bays in his country, but swarms in the
Greenland firths. The portion of the sea over which
t-e passed is navigable for'vessbls of any size; the ice
we met, particularly after quitting Detention liar-
boltr, would not have arrested a strong boat. The
c::ain of islands affords shelter from all heavy seas,
and there are good hai hours at convenient distances.
.1 entertain, indeed, sanguine hopes that the skill and
exertions of my Friend Captain Parry will soon ren-
der this question no longer problematical. His task
is doubtless an arduous one, and, if ultimately suc-
cessful, may occupy two, and perhaps three seasons ;
but confiding as I do, from personal knowledge, in his
perseverance and talent for surmounting difficulties,
the strength of his ships, and the abundance of pro-
visions with which they are stored, I have very little
apprehension of his safety. As I understand his ob-
ject was to keep the coast of America close on board,
lie will find in the spring of the year, before the
breaking up of the ice can permit him to pursue his
voyage, herds of deer flocking in abundance to all
parts of the coast, which may be procured without
difficulty ; and, even later in the season, additions to
his stock of provision may be obtained on many parts
of the coast, should circumstances give him leisure to
send out hunting parties. With the trawl or seine
nets also, he Niay almost everywhere get abundance
of fish even without retarding his progress. Under
these actitustances I do not conceive that he rpns
any hatard of wanting provi ions, should his voyage
be prolonged even beyond the latest period of time
which is calcblated upon. Drift timber may be
gathered at many places in considerable quantities,
and there is a fair prospect of his opening a corn mu-'
nication with the Esquimaux, who come down to the
coast to kill seals in the spring, previous to the ice
breaking up ; and from whom, if he succeeds in con-
ciliating their good-will, he may obtain provisions,
and much useful assistance.

Me

" If he makes for Copper Mine River, as he pro-
bably will do, he will not find it in the longitude as
laid down on the charts; but he will probably find
%that would be more interesting to him, a post, which
we erected on the 25th August, at the mouth of
Hood's River, which is nearly, as will appear here-
after, in that longitude, with a flag upon it, and a
letter at the foot .of it, which may convey to him
some useful information. It is possible, however,
that he'might keep outside of the range of islands
which skirt this part of the coast."
Captain Franklin's Narrative is well written, and
gives a straight-forward and plain statement of the
dangers and difficulties he encountered, and of the
discoveries he made in his most arduous expedition.
The work is also enriched with numerous maps and
plates, admirably executed.
MEHOIaS Or a CAPTIVITY Along the IMAMS of Noarn AUWCA,
from Cusconooo to the Ao of NUMMI, &C. &c. By John
D. Hunter, Bio.
Mr. Hunter, or rather the &Inter, the name given
to him oo account of his expertness in the chace, is
descended of European settlers ; when a child his
parents were murdered, and he, along with two other
children, was carried away by the Indians. Of his
companions, he only knows that one, a little girl, was
.killed.because she cried. Hunter was first taken by
the.Kickapoos and afterwards brought up by the
Kann:, where he passed his early years, and became
a perfect Indian in. manners and nearly so in colour:
nor has he now quitted them to relinquish the free-
dom of savage life for the restraints of polished so-
ciety ; on the contrary, be intends to gain science and
information, and then to communicate their benefits
to his old friends in order to raise them in the scale
of society. His Memoirs contain an artless and highly
interesting narrative of his own singular adventures,
with an account of -the .manners and customs of the
Indian tribes with which he so long associated.

PITCAIRN'S JUIAND.
•Ws have been favoured with the following extract
of a letter from Captain Joao H 211021, of the ship
Hercules, dated Calcutta, September 9, 1822:
Z oiled trona the roast of Chill on Munk 281, 18211, for Cal-
aq222 ad arrived atrit Island of Pitcairn on Arre2ll,wbere I had

-.- •
tie pleasure of seeing my old acquaintances. I bad iliere_to land
a quantity of goods which were sent by the gentlemen of Cal-
cutta'''. presents to the inhabitants. It being Synday when I
arrived, I was
present at the petty:initiates of DiAne Service by
John Adams, which be did in s very pious and devout manner;
and the young folks behaved remarkably well. J. Adams and
the rest of them were very happy to see me again,. and after
shaking hands and going through the common course.of compli-
ments, John Adams said that he Was surprised that a clergyman
had not been sent out to them by the English, although they had
promised to do it t. that they wanted one very much to instruct
them. He was not sure whether it was lawful for him to marry.
I told him that a Magistrate or a Captain of a man of war might
marry, if there was no clergyman to be had, and that the mar-
riage was lawful ; se of course he had a right to marry, being tht
Chief of the island. Hs said likewise that their ground was gee
ting fast done, and that they could not trust to sow seed in one
piece of ground a second time, and some of the ground, which had
been lying 42 years in fellow, had not yet come round. There
would be plenty for them in his life-time, but for the nest gene-
ration there would not be enough, and that the English Govern.
ment would have to remove them off the island. Bidding adieu
to the friendly inhabitants of Pitcairn, and taking an affectionate
farewell of them, I bore away for the Straits of Torres."
