BY AM OFFICIR OF III! ALEXANDER.

4. My DEAR Slit—You were pleased to say, en
:r departure from England, that nothing would
oratif, yoa more, than to learn from me,'as oppor-
t..:::':.ie; might occur, the progress we made in our
rage 'if discovery. On the strength of this.fiatter-
ili.erc.-ar tge:nent I wrote to you a long letter to-
sea:ds Inc r. t.: of July, just as the last whalers were
&boat to take their departure for England, which I
find came safely to your hands. At that time our
hopes and spirits got the better of all doubts and
fears; for though we were then beset on every side
with ice, yet we had seen enough, and learned enough,
• both from the Danes below, and all the masters of '
the whalers around us, to be assured, that the ice
was rapidly disappearing, partly from the heat of the
son, but mostly I believe from the constant friction
of one flier or mass against another, and from the ac-
tion of the salt water upon them. I believe I told
you also of the fineness of the climate, and that we had
once, on the top of an ice-berg, the temperature by
raltrenheit's thermOteeter at more than SO deorees.
when exposed to the sm., and that the effect of his
powerful rays was not only felt, but very visible in
the streams of water which pcitred down the sides of
all these stupendous masses, like so many mountain
cascades. It is nut, however, the sun's rays that
chiefly contribute to destroy the ice—they are of too
rare occUrrenee to produce any such permanent effect;
for the torrents continue to fall, and the field-ice to
dissolve, apparently just as much in the ordinary
weather of the Arctic regions, which, generally
speaking, is mild, hut foggy, and the atmosphere
mostly loaded witli clouds, or some kind of vapour,
as when the sun shines forth in all its glory ;—when
I say mild, I mean that there is little or no wind, and
that Fahrenheit's thermometer ranges from 32 de-
grees to 40 degrees in the shade; once, and I believe
but once, it was down to 21. degrees, but very often
above 40 degrees. lam now speaking of the month
of August, and I may add that September brought
with it no diminution of temperature,—it is true we
were then ranging down the western coast of Baffin's
Bay to the southward ; but we have learnt from ex-
perience, that in these regir as one does not increase
the cold by increasing the latitude, as I shall now
Foceed to shew you more fully.
I must ' •.-e:nise, however, that I am writing to
you without book. Our Commodore took possession
of all the logs, jourti,ls, remark-books, and charts,
and carried them off ss ith him from the Humber to
the Admiralty, so that all our opinions and specula-
tions on what we irate done, and what we have left

undone, are at head-tpwrters ;—I mention this in
order to claim indulgence for any lack of precision
in dates and numbers; but the main facts of the
voyage are too strongly imprinted on my mind to
need 3::y written monitor.
t, About the 9.. h of August we got so far up the
coasoot Greenland as to recognise the Cape Dudley
Digges of Baffin, but still hampered with the ice.
When near this Cape, we very unexpectedly observed
something like human beings moving towards us on
the ice, which separated us from the shore about
seven or eight miles. On a nearer approach we per-
ceived that they were actually men, sitting on low
sledges; driven by five or six doge in each. When
within a mile or less of the ships, they stopped short,
hut hallooed and shouted at a great rate. Just at this
time some sign ils were making between the ships,
which probably alarmed them, for they suddenly
wheeled round, and set off again towards the shore in
full gallop, at a speed which we supposed to be at
least equal to that of our mail-coaches; of course we
60011 lost sight of them behind the hummocks of ice,
Every body regretted their sudden disappearance;
and in order, if possible, to bring them back, and to
explain our friendly intentions, Captain Ross caused
a white flag to be hoisted on a hillock of ice, on which
was painted a hand holding a green branch of a tree—a
colour by the way, and an object not very common in
this part oldie world; there were also left on the ice
some presents placed on a stool, and an Esquimaux dog
with beads about his neck ; every thing, however,
remained untouched on our return from an attempt'
to push to the northward through the ice, and the
poor dog was lying down on the very spot where we
left him. On the third day the natives were again
observed at a distance, coming towards us, they now
approached within a few hundred yards of the ship
before they stopped, but perceiving that they had no
inclination to come nearer, Jack Saccheus, the Es-
quimaux whom you saw with his canoe on the
Thames, volunteered to go out to them. It required
no small degree of courage to undertake this enter-
prize, as the southern LsTiimatix are firmly per-
suaded• that there is a race oF giants dwelling in the
mountains to the northward, who are exceedingly
ferocious, and great cannibals, and Jack of course
believed this story of his countrymen. It happened,
however, fortunately perhaps for all parties, that, at
the place where they hatted, the ice had separated,
leaving a canal a few feet in width. They immedi-
ately began to talk and bawl in a language which
Jack at first did not understand, but by a little at-
tention he discovered that the language they made
use of was that of the southern Esquimaux, some•
what different in the pronunciation, as well as in
many of the words themselves, but he soon found
that he could make out their meaning. The ques-
tions they put to him, with great eagerness, were to
Oze following purpose :—Who are ye?—What are
)e?—Where do you come from ?—Are you come
from the moon?--What are those two great birds?—
Jack told them in re;,ly, that Le was a man like
them ; that he had a father and mother: that he was
made of flesh and bones, and that he wore clothes ;

that the great things which they called birds were
louses to live in. On hearing this, they all called
oit, No, no, we saw them Hap their wings, and they
were sure that they were Angckuk, or evil spirits,
come to dertrcy them, at the same time one of them
pulled from his brzx a sort of rude knife, which he
held out in a threatening posture, and said he would
kill him. Jack threw tncnt a shirt across the canal,
that they might be convinced he carried about with
him substantial matters, and rEAt such as spirits could
carry ; they asked him what skin it was made of?
Thus, by del.,recs, they coavirscd togcsher ; when Jack
aal thing that pleased theta.

The accounts brought from Java by the Kingston
are highly interesting, and will be read with interest
by every one qualified to form any correct ideas re-
specting the value of the trade in the Eastern Archi-
pelago.
The Governor of Fort Marlborough, Sir THOMAS
STA NI eon D RAFFLES, of whose energy and enterpris-
ing character too high an opinion cannot be enter-
tained, has been exerting himself greatly to counter-
act the rapacious and lawless proceedings of the
Dutch ; who have been using every artifice, not
merely to undermine the British interests in those
Seas, but to shut us out entirely from all commerce
with that quarter—though they themselves owe to
British generosity alone (perhaps we should say Bri-
tish folly) the power of sheaving their face in that
quarter.

Since his arrival in Sumatra, the Governor has 4
been strenuously endeavouring to extend the British
influence over the whole of that valuable and eaten- I
sive island. Weiately apprised our Readers of the I
encroachments and aggressions of Dutch commercial
speculators in that interesting quarter of the globe,
but we confidently anticipate that the measures I
which he has taken as Political Agent for the Archi-
pelago, to check the progress of Dutch domination
until orders shall have been sent out from Europe,
will prove efficient.
Sumatra has hitherto been very little known. The
European establishments are entirely on the coast—
Europeans
had never penetrated into the interior—
and, judging from the ruinous establishments main-
tained by England, the Island itself was considered
of but little value. Nothing could exceed the apathy,
indifference, and ignorance, which prevailed among
Europeans respecting the Island generally. AU
attempt: to penetrate into the interior were reckoned
desperate ; no European would embark in them.—
The population of the interior were considered as
savages, and the mountains impassable, and yet the
natives would still bring down their gold and cassia,
and camphor, &c. for which Sumatra had, from the
earliest ages, been famous. The Governor felt there
was but one alterlative, and that was, to open the
road by going himself. His enterprise was crowned
with success. He penetrated into the interior in
three different directions—to the southward inland of
lklauna, to the important Provinces occupied by a
people called the Passummahs—to the northward to
Menangcabon, the far-famed capital of the Malay
Empire—and inland of 11:ncoolen, across the Island
to Palembang.
The result has been the discovery of a mine of
wealth—a country highly cultivated, and abounding
in precious metals. The Passummahs are an athletic
fine race of men, as superior to the people on the
coast as it is possible to conceive : they are agricul-
tural and numerous. At Menangcabon he was gra-
' tified with a population and country fully equal to
any part of Java. Within the space of twenty miles
ithe population does not fall short of a million. In
ishort, it is the Governor's opinion, that, with a little
encouragement, far greater resources are to be found
in Sumatra than the British could have derived from 1
Java. But much remains to be done. A Central Go-
vernment must be established; the whole Island must
be brought under controul ; and the avenues of com-
merce, now closed up, re-opened.
Some of our Readers are aware, that Menangcabon
was the place whence all the gold that gave Malano
the name of the Golden Chersonsus was carried, and
that in opening a trade with that country we shall
find a great vend for our manufactures, and in re-
turn receive what we most want—money ; which,
under existing circumstances, will be more profitable
than colonial produce.
These discoveries have not, however, been made
without great personal risk and fatigue. The coun-
try could only be explored on foot—mountains 6.000
feet high were to be crossed, and rocks, precipices,
and forests, to be traversed. For many nights the
patty had no shelter but the leaves they could col-
lect after their day's journey, and their journies were
seldom less than from twenty to thirty miles a day
over the very worst roads that ever were passed. In
this expedition the Governor was accompanied by
Lady RAFFLES. She was occasionally carried or. a
man's back, but generally walked, as the roads were
too bad to admit of her being carried in a chair,
Doctor ARNOLD, Physician and Naturalist, fell a sa-
crifice to the fatigue, and died of a violent fever. Dr,
Hottsrlato, who accompanied the Governor to Me-
nangcabon, was, on the 12th of August, the date of
our last intelligence from Fort Marlborough, dart,
gerously ill, with a dysentery, but we hope his life
will be spared to bring home the important collec-
tions he'has made, both in Java and Sumatra.

As this was the first ippeaxance of the European
authority the utterly, Lady RATZLIS was the most

peaceable standard the pasty could host. It was
impossible for the natives to consider their object
warlike, when the Governor proceeded unarmed, and
confided his wife to their hospitality.
They found the country beautiful and Magnificent.
Sir TDOMAR STAMFORD RAFFLES has thrown the
trade open, and reformed all the Establishments.
Treaties have been now entered into with tie! Princes
of Menangcabott, and it only remains for the British
Government to uphold and maintain the system he
has commenced.

As might be expected from the intelligence already
given in this Paper, he is at issue with the Dutch in
many essential points; but the question has at last
been brought to such a crisis, that unless the Autho-
titles in Europe immediately interfere, we can never
think of holding up our head again. The British
'character has been insulted and degraded in the
grossest terms, and the Governor has personally pro-
tested against the pretensions and principles on which
the Dutch act.

It would seem that they look upon him to be fully
as dangerous in those seas, as NAPocr.oN would be
in Europe—they would proscribe him, and confine
him to another St. Helena, if they dared.
If Ministers Would but turn their attention to the
value of these Islands, they would see the import-
lance to Great Britain of the struggle he is making.
livery one must know under what circumstances
the Dutch obtained the Convention of 1811., in
contemplation of an union between the Houses
of llanover and Orange. Had they not been too
greedy, that Convention might still have stood un-
modified ; but by grasping at too much, we hope
they will now receive a complete check. By that
Convention it is stated, all Colonies in Asia, in pos,es-
sion of the Dutch on the Ist of January, 1803, are to
revert. Not satisfied with this, they claim all they
ever had in those seas, although many of them have
not had the Dutch flag flying fine the last fifty years.
Is it not time they were checked ? Their system is,
in the first instance, to send a large force to overawe
and intimidate the natives, and having once got thei
to sign a deed, then studiously to prevent the English
from ever after having communization with the port.
It was merely owing to his position in Sumatra that
Governor RAFFLES has been enabled to know what
they we:c doing in Palembang ; the possibility of his
crossing the island over the mountains had never oc
curred. It may be fairly presumed that their conduct
has been equally disgraceful at Banju Ma sin.—Thei r
object is to obtain a despotic authority over all the
Archipelago, and to exclude the English from all
trade at the independent ports ; and in order to effect
this object, they in the first instance sacrifice every
unfortunate Prince who was acknoss ledged by, and
attached to the English.
The discoveries made by Governor RAFFLES 1:i
his expedition into the interior, in a iiii:leralogical
and botanical vlew, are nut less interesting than•in
political one.

Charleston Papers to the 7th ult. arrived this morn-
ing. They state the receipt or information from
Detroit, that the Hercules, Captain etturteit, had
been wrecked in a storm on Lake Michigan, near
Chicaquo, and that every person on board perished.
Two Officers of the American Army were among the
passenget c.

By the brig Byron, from Trinidad, and a: rived at
Cork, we have received letters, hut they are not so
late as those we had previously published to I`lth
November from the same quarter. We have never-
thele;s made the following illustrative extracts :

" You will probably have heard before this reaches you, that
some officers who propagates! so many false reports respecting
Admiral Brion, in t►is Island, have shewn their real character,
by piratically cutting out and running away with the brig Colum-
bia, one of his squadron. from Grenada. She was just hauled
nut of the carenage; and being under the protection of a Bri-
tish Port, was left with only four men on board to take care of
her, most of the British sailors having been induced to desert.
Thomas was the ringleader in all the calumny, as well as in the
piracy. It is not known here where they have gone to, nor have
any accounts, to be depended on, reached us respecting Admiral
Brion since. Ile sailed for St. Bartholomew's and Margarita,
and it is said, which is probable, that he had arrived at the lat-
ter, where the brig Intogen, with Don Palace and Mr. H. and
his family bad preciously gut safe. In the mean time, Commo-
dore Solis, with his vessels and the decheras of Margarita, have
cleared the coast as far as La Guayra, and taken in six weeks
twenty-three prizes : so that Margarita svas 'juice in a bustle:
with their good fortune.
" My last letter from Angostura is dated the sth ultimo.
General Bolivar was then going to set out for the Army; he had
appointed a Consefu de Gubiersle for foreign relations dining his
absence. This is composed of the General of Division Urdaneta;
the Director-General Don Roscio, and the Intendant Penalver.
Writs were also to be issued for a.sseinbiing a general Congress
of the Proviaces ; and it was hoped it would be installed in
Caraccas. fa case of delay In occupying that city, they were ta
meet at Guayana, or rather Angostura. We have arrivals from
Guayana within these two days, but they bring nothing of any
importance, except fine fat cattle In abundance, which we are
not likely to want, while Guiria is in the hands of the Patriots,
and the Gulf thereby secure. Colonel Wilson arrived in one of
these vessels. He was, I understand, condemned to some years
ptesidio, by sentence of a Court Martial, but they let him escape..
" General Marino has moved from Matur n upon Cumana ;
his army, consisting of 2,000 men, marched on the lOili ult. and
General Bermudez, with a detachment of about 100 Men, pro-
. ceeded, with the gun-boats under Dias, to join him at the Port
of Esmeralda, and alarm Rio Caribes and Carupano previously,
itnd divert the enemy's forces in that quarter. In a landing at
Rio Caribes, he had a smart skirmish, lost three men, and the
enemy being reinforced with 200 inen from Carupano. he re-
embarked. We have not learned his subsequent motions ; but
I understand Marino would dislodge them from Rio Caribes
and Carupano, previous to attackinz the capital of Cumana by
sea aad land."
