We learn by letters just received from Newfound-
land, dated June the sth, that the Expedition which
left St. John's in the autumn of last year, under the
direction of Captain Buenas, of hii Majesty's ship
GRASSHOPPER, having for its object to open a com-
munication with the Aborigines of the Island, by way
of the Bay of Exploits, had failed, .and that that skil-
ful and intelligent Officer, with his perseverini com-
panions, had returned. It appears that the (Jean-
HOPPER having reached theitiver, from St. John's;
in December last, was housed over, and made secure,
to enable the persons left on board to encounter the
inclemency of a Newfoundland winter. Mary March;
the female native Indian prisoner, who was to have
been the medium of communication with her native
friends, died on board the GRASSHOPPER before the
Expedition could set out from the Bay of Exploits:
About the middle of January, Captain BUCHAN, Mr:
CHARLES C. WALLP.R, Midshipman, the Boatswain,
and about silty men, procteled with sleighs on the
ice, containing their provisions, &c. as also the body.
of the female Indian ; and the spot having been
pointed out by Mr. PEYTON, a merchant who ac:
companied the Eipedition, where the rencontre took
place between his party and the Indians, when the
husband of Mary March was killed, her body, orna-

research of forty days, but was not able to dis Cover
the slightest trace of the native Indians, Whether
they had fled to some other part of the Island, or
had been exterminated by the Escittimaux Indians;
who, to obtain the furs with whieh thly.are covered,
are known to invariably murder them at evry
portunity, could not be ascertained: but jt appeared
useless to proceed any further in the search.

The following letter, dated Sierra Leone, Mirrei
contains interesting information relative to the squs-
dron on the coast of Africa: •
On the 4th of April, two *chosen, prizes to his Majesty%
ship Moat:tams, arrived here, one of them with twenty-eight
slaves on board; and on the 15th arrived the MORO/ANA, Cap.
rain Sammt..tens, with the British ship Prince of Brasil packet,
of London, and the Jan Nichol scbooner—the tormer with
seventy Blacks on board,- and the latter for landing forty at Wy.'
dab. The hloaciums has done more to check the slave trade
than any other ship. La Marie, a French schooner, with 10e
slaves on board, Ives captured on the 40th of January, the slaves
having been put on board by a British subject, for which a re-
ward of 400 dollars is new offered by the Governor here. —lt
Is much to be regretted that no power is given to Captains to
detain French ships ; they are now the only nation who can marry
an that abominable traffic with impunity. The arrival of the
' American frigate Cyane (formerly British) on the coast, cons;
pletely checks the Abaericans • she has already captured four
schooners, and wat.thetn to the United States. The American
Colony formed at the Sherbro, Poe captured Negroesl has already
