NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

DISCOVERY SHIPS.

Captain JOHNSTON, of the Cambrian whaler, which has re-
cently arrived from Davis Straits, states that he was further
up Lancaster Sound than Captain Ross penetrated, but saw
nothing of the Discovery Ships. He went up eighty mites;
the Sound was there twenty miles wide, with "a strong
current, and no obstruction appeared from the mast-head.—
From all that he saw, Captain J. is in the firm belief that Lieu-
tenant NSW, must have succeeded in effecting a passage. The
Friendship and Truelove were proceeding up the Sound when
the Cambrian was returning; but whether they would go fur-
ther up or not is uncertain. Some ships have this season been as
far North in Baffin's Bay as 80 degrees. The general opinion
among the Whalers is, that Naar has discovered an inland sea;
but whether he will be enabled to get through it or not, is pro-
blematical. '

Captain &mum, of the Lady Jane whaler, just arrived at
North Shield+, was told by Capt. MobVsmaaas, of the Grenville
Bay, whom he spoke on the 15th of August, that be bad dis-
covered •ghat he took to be a new race of people; but whether
the same as those seen by Captain Ross, he could not ascertain.
