Thursday his Majesty's ship lhossolt, Captain .F,
W. Bums-4 sailed from Portsmouth upon her inte-
resting voyage of discovery and survey in the Pacific,
previously touching at Rio Janeiro, to land dispatches
for his Excellency Sir CHARLES STUART. After visiting
Pitcairn Island, Otaheite, Easter, and Friendly Islands,
and settling indisputably, the position of-all the Wands
with which that neighbourhood abounds, we under-
stand the BLoasost is to proceed to Behting's Strait.
and if the season admit of it, to prcceed round Icy
Cape (which has not been effected since Capt. Cooxx's
discovery of it) along the- Northern shore of America,
towards Hecla and Fury Strait, for the purpose of fall-
ing in with Captain FRANKLIN or Captain PARRY; and,
if Captain BEECHEY find the sea open, it is most likely
that he will not omit so fortunate an opportunity of
accomplishing this desirable object. We understand,
also, that the Bcossom is to complete the Survey of
.the coast of America in such parts about Behring's
Strait as are imperfectly known, and after having ten-
dered Captain FRANKLIN the assistance lie may require,
she is to proceed entirely upon Discovery, directing her
route int such purpose towards those parts of the Pa-
cific which are the least known or frequented. She is
furnished with a large supply (.f presents, for the pur-,
pose of bartering With the Islanders, and has on board
a handsome present for the King of OTAIIEITE and
ging of the SANDWICH ISLAND:. The Lords of the
Admiralty hate appointed Mr, 'fRADEXANT LAY as
Nattualist to the Expedition ; and we look to tire most
interesting results from the several purposes intended to
be accomplished by it. The surveying and opening a
communication with the Friendl) Islands, may eventually
prove of considerable importance. Upwards of 1'2.000
acres of land have been some time enclosed and put
into Cultivation of cotton ; the samples of which are
pronounced inferior only to the Sea Island Cotton, and
much suptrios to the Egyptian.
