CAPTAIN PARlirs EXPEDITION.
_.-.....—_
lithekccoutits publi.lied are correct. namely, that
cat.Pary reached and was stopped in N. lat. 69 deg.
tiong. 83 deg.he was within 340. geographical miles,
or nes,of Cove lurnanbwin (lat. 63i deg. N.) the point
where Fraaklin turned back, at which place he found
end saw an opera sea, stretching W. N. and E. with a
:anent setting to the latter quarter, which had brought
slag in its stream the poplars and other woods which
ire known to grow only on the banks of Mackenzie's
River. Capt. Parry has fairly determined the:Strait which
g..parates America on its Eastern side, from the Lands
&N. and N.E. of Baffin's Bay, which are thus ascer-
tained to be Islands.
We fear the expedition has kept too much to the
South on the Atlantic side of America, where the nu-
merous inlets, bays, and islands must inevitably be
clogged, blocked up, and surrounded with the vast
lanes of ice brought down by the current from the
Polar Sea on the West and on the N.W. them cannot,
'rethink, remain a doubt that a passage exists from the
Pacific into the Atlantic, but we humbly conceive, for
tenons too tedious for us to mention here, that a clear
passage is more to the Northward, than the course of
the present expedition, and between the land N. of
Ihtffin's Bay and the Pole. A Russian expedition last
year from Behrihg's Straits pissed Icy Cape, where
Cook was stopped, and wl:ere they found the sea nearly
clear of ice, and a current setting, first N.B. then E. at
the rate of from 24 to 30 miles per day. Other Russian
expeditions have foundthat the sea, N. of Nova Zembla,
in lat. 764, 14. is entirely clear dice, asit also is still
store to the Eastward in the same latitude. Another
Russian expedition is gone this summer, again to pene-
trate through Behring s Straits and double Icy Cape,
sd if it succeeds in snatching from the brows of British
immen the laurels to be gained by such a discovery,
ire shall regret it, however we may rejoice that such a
geographical problem has been solved. Should Russia
*teed, then the voyage from Archangel to Bebring's
&Nits, crossing near the Pule, would only be 3,000
geographical miles; and from thence to the Southern
point of Japan, an equal distance, both making only
about thb same distance as from Britain to the Cape of
Good Hope.
The passage near by, or over the Pole remains yet to
be explored, and as it is the most likely to be open, we
are surprised that it was not the first attempted. The
serest course we conceive to be between spitzbergen and
Nova Zembla. There the sea is open, we know, to very
high latitudes, and through this channel it is not
improbable that the Russian expedition, already mention-
ed, may find its way back to Europe.—Glosgme Courier.

We understand that the differences between Russia
and the :ittoman Porte are, at last, amicably settled.
Our information f„. erely enables us to state the fact,
but not the particulars of An arrangement, which, from
the many difficulties it presented, had' been considered
as utterly hopeless. This is another triumph of mode-
ration over ambition; and a fine homage to the conser-
vatory principles upon which the polity of the Eu-
ropmn Cabinets is based at this time. Great praise
is
due to tilt Emperor ALEXANDER for the practical proof
he has given here of his love of peace; and ae could
lint produce more conclusive evideilce, as to the great
influenCe which England exercises in the affairs of the
world, than this arduous arrangement, which will be
admitted by every one to be the result, in a great mea-
sure, of her mediatory offices.—Public Ledger.
