The following is a Copy of a Letter received this morning from
Ike Agent to the North and South American Coffee-house, dated
New York, September 18,1827
" The American coast, and nearly all the West India Islands,
Mei', visited, during the lastemonth, by violent hurricanes, and Mel
‘strietion of persons and property has been very great. The
flaw Packet has arrived here from the City of St. Domingo, the
Captain of which gives a very unfavourable account of the burn-
eroe there : it commenced on the 18th of August, from the S.E.
sad terminated with the wind from the S.S.W. All the mahogany
zeir the coast had gone to sea, and would probably be lost ; mostl
cf the vessels in the harbour were driven on shore ; the vessels
at 'anchor at the mouth of the harbour* got under weigh, at the
commencement of the gale, and put to sea, and were all wrecked.
Two vessels, mahogany loaded, went to pieces at'the mouth of Sc.
Domingo River, and parts of the crews loot; several Haytian
c 0...... were lost,.with all their crews.
" The following meets have been lost on the coast: British
barque Alonzo. nine of her crew lost; British brig St. Domingo,
melon lost; British brig Julia, one man saved ; British brig Sa.
mao, Gland" part of the crew saved; the British brig Eliza-
Mk, Nelson, sailed from the coast a few days before, and fears
wire entertained for her safety.
The British schooner Friendship has arrived at New London
Dam Nassau, N.P. in distress; bound to St. John's.
The Brithh schooner Jane, of Belfast, atrived at Wilmington
thleth of September, from Kingston, Jamaica, in distress; her
ergo consisted of sugar, rum, coffee, &c. She experienced consi-
*table damage in the late gale, and had the misfortune of having
the Captain, Sankerson, and three men washed overboard, and lost
the Second Mate. Dlr. M`Kenzie was also washed overboard,
but regained the vessel, and brought her, in a shattered state, to
this rort, where she will be obliged to discharge her cargo to re-
pair damages.
o 'Au English brig, with a cargo of mahogany, valued at 165,000
dollars, was ashore, twenty miles smith of Ocracock.“
The Devonshire, Aciamson, from Dublin to Liverpool,' was
driven on the necks near Holyhead on Thursday night, and, It was
feared, would be wrecked.

' PROM THE HAMPSHIRE TELEGRAPH, OCT. 13.
We have much grat fic ad an in announcing the arrival
rat Captain Back and Lieutenant Kendall, of the Royal
Na' y, in charge of the Land Arctic Expedition, who
landed here yesterday marring from the ship Ptinteol
Wales, last from York Factory, Hudson's Bay, which
they le t on thelSth of September. Tnese intrepid
facets, as well as their shier, are arrived home in the
most perfect health, as are sixteen of the eighteen men
who accomo.mied them in their arduous discoveries—
one of their Amber was lost in a rapid. and one died
from n +tura' causes. Captain Back accompanied Cap-
tain Franklin in his endeavours to reach Icy Cape by
the western Channel of Mackenzie's River ; and Lien•
tenant Kendall vent with Dr. Richardson, in an eastern
direction, to examine the intermediate coast between
the Mackenzie and the Cnppermine Rivers. Thiugh
neither party I f the Expedition has actually traced the
navigation of a Nottb-west passage, yet they are per-
fectly satisfied,- from the success which has attended
their discoveries, that a passage is open from Davis's
Straits to Betting's Straits, or from the North Atlantic
to the North Pacific Ocean ; and thus the geographical
problem is solved, that the great Continent of America
lean island only, but from insurmountab!e obstructions
of ice, the passage around it can never, or but •very
seldom, be navigated. The ship Prinie of Wales went
past for the River; with the men on board who were
easployed in the Expedition. Captain Back and Lieu-
tenant Kendal Net off for the Admiralty.
Letters have been received here from Sir Edward
Codriugton's squadron, dated off Navarin, Sept. 25,
which state, that they were then blockading the Turkish
fleet in that port, which consisted of four sail of the line,
fifteen frigates, twenty•five corvettes, and a number
of smaller vessels. Nothing particular had occurred
slice they had commenced this service, which was in
cenformity with the Tt ea ty made with the Governments
tf Russia and France, and which had been notified to
the Commander of tbell.eeti as well as what measures
would be pursued to carry the Treaty into effect.
Tuesday, his Majesty's brig the Britomart, Captaini
Chamier, as rived from the West India station, last flom

send any specie fur shipsaent to Vera Cruz for the pre-

Tampico, and the

cumstance, as they

Tampico, from the city of Mexico, stated, that

pipes and machinery, which were sent from

formation of the Mining Companies in England.
