NORTHER EXPEDITION.—The following informa-
tion is from Captain Mullin CAD, of the ship Larkins,
respecting the Discovery Ships in Davis's Straits :••••
" Left the ice on the 23d of August, lat. 75. 32. N.
long. 51. W. On the 18th of August we saw the
Discovery Ships, rounding a cape, supposed to he in
76. N. lat. long. 52. W. at that time lie was in 75;4-6.
N. (the farthest he had been this year), long. 51. 80.
The Ariel and Everthorp, of Hull, were close to
them, and had, no daubt, much later communication
with them than he had. The Larkins remained fast
to some ice from the 13th to the 18th of August :
Captain MUMMA D observed a great deal of water
to the N.W. and conceived, when the wind came off
the land, that it would make a clearance for the
*Discovery Ships to get much farther to the Noah-
ward, particularly as the ice was then breaking up
fast. The weather was getting much clearer, and the
frost taking, place in the night. Captain Mtn RII EA D
appears very sanguine as to the ships succeeding,
not only from what he has stated, but from observa-
tions which he made last year, when he got as far as
76. 15. N. and where he had a very heavy sea from
the Northward, depending, i❑ Lis opinion, on a large
track of water being in that direction : at that time
(the Ist of August, 1817) he could not see any ice,
nor did he find any until he got back to 75. 30. N.
Captain MUIIMEAD found in lat. 76. N. eight points
westerly variation. The Officers and men were quite.
well when the Larkins last communicated with them.
It may be remarked that the longitude here given is
from that of Greenland, as laid down in the Charts,
which Captain Ross discovered ten degrees too far
to the Eastward—the real position of the ships on the
18th of August was 76. N. to g. 62. W.".

The evacuation of France iisay be siid trill.Trertf,
ready commenced, as transponns arrived on Widnes-
day and the preceding day at Dover, with detach-
ments and the baggage of the 2d and 3-i Dragoon
Guards, the 11th Light Dragoons, toe Sta,t Corps,
the Grenadier Guards, the 4th, 39th, and 79th In-
fantry, and the Rifle Corps. The Barracks a,. Deal
are preparing for the accommodation of 12(X) men,
and the Royal Naval Hospital at the same place, for
the reception of the sick of the army.
The depot of the 52d Light Infantry is ordered
from Canterbury to Plymouth, and will march on
Monday next. It was the depot of the 39th regi-
ment, called in our Paper of Wednesday last, by an
error of the press, the 29th; which, with that of the
4th, moved on Tuesday list, from Deal to Can-
terbury.

The Barracks in Canterbury will be kept as open as
possible for the passage and accommodation of the
troops which may arrive from Fiance, but it is not
probable any infantry regiments will be permanently
stationed there, as it is the intention of Government,
following up the wishes of the people, and for which,
preparations are already made in every department,
to disband immediately such regiments whether ca-
valry, artillery, or infantry, as are not intended for
Iforeign service. .

At Lewes Market, on Tuesday, lean Beef, and Ewe
Mutton, at high prices, were the leading features.—
Pig meat was also very dear.
At Steyning fair on Monday, black cattle were seen
in abundance ; bilt the prices were, nevertheless, by
some unaccountable means, kept up to a high standard.

Melton Cattle Fair commenced on Wednesday
with a very extensive shew, tile beasts in the finest
possible condition. Although prices were extremely
high, so very rapid were the sales, that some of the
largest droves of Messrs. Armstrong and Jollie were
nearly cleared the first day, d s. 6d. Gc. and as high as
is. per stone was obtained for the short horned breed.

Wednesday evening, so early as between seven and
eight o'clock, as Mr. MArrttrw Rowe, cf Adding-
ton-street, Manchester, was passing up Slade-hill, he
was knocked down by two fellows opposite the
of York public-house ; and, and notwithstanding the
publicity of the situation, and the number of passen-
gers constantly passing, they succeeded in ro'Aing
him of his pocket-boor, containing a bill for CA)
and some loose cash, with which the; effected 'their
escape, and have hitherto eluded detection.

An outrage of a sir.gular nature took place last
week, at Shenley Fair, a place three miles beycni
Fenny-Stratford. One Sibthorpe, a farmer, being in
a state of intoxication, proposed a game at pitch arid
toss With Ctiok, the hostler of the inn ; the coudi
bons to be, that the winner should cut the other':
throat chance deciding in favour of Sibthorpe, he
forthwith tripped up the hostler's heels, and with
knife cut part of the skin from his throat, which blei
profusely for a length of time, and reduced the mai
to. a very weak state. Fortunately no very sezio;
consequences are likely to ensue.
Demons, says a French Journal, have re-appeared
at Einsidlieu (Canton of Schnitz) but their triumpl
has been very brief. The operation of exorcism was
performed in front of the chapel, and in the presence
of numerous pilgrims. Out of three hundred ani
three Devils which bad been influenced by the fine;
of taking up their residence in the body of a woman,
300 were expelled without any difficulty. The three
others, More tenacious, resisted for a long time, ant'
only yielded after the most painful efforts, and the ar
plication of all the powers of exorcism.!
