lAt length the Official Dispatches from the ships
employeden the Discovery of the North•west Passage
Lave been received, and we understand are most
satisfactory. They are dated July 28, at which time
the Isabella and the Alexander were iu lat. 75 deg.
30 min. N., long. 60 deg. 30 (nip., W.well, over to the
American coast, the weather st--ene and perfectly
clear. The variative of the compass, by accurate ob."
aervitions repeatedly made on board both ships, wee
89 dig. anci the dip 81 deg. 30 min., which led them
to conclude, that they were approaching very nearly
to the magnetic pole. It had been perfectly calm :
theses was as.smooth as glass for three or four days,
and the Current drifted them to the South-eastward.
which raised their hopes of an open passage round the
point of America, from which quarter it appeared to
proceed. All the way up the middle of Davis' Straits
they skirted an unbroken field of ice on the left, but
as they proceeded it became thinner and apparently
rotten, and they were sanguine that the moment the
breeze sprung up, the ice to the westward would open
to them a passage, and allow them to reach the
northern shores of America. The utmost harmony
prevailed among the Officers and every part of the
ship's company, and all were in perfecs health.—
Stich is the substance of the accounts which we have
been able to learn. There are abundance of private
letters to the friends and relations -of these who have
embarked in this most important and interesting en-
terprise. .The following is an extract of oats with
which we balm been politely favoured :
His Majr.ty*. Ship If:Orlin, at Sea, Lat. 75. 23.
Long. 60. 7. variutiuu SS. 48.—July V. 3.
Dear D—,—This is our last opportunity this year,
therefore I could not let it pass without writing, al-
though .nothing has passed since my last. We are
now to the northward of all the ships that are fishing;
we see some a long way a-stern : the boat with dis-
patches is going immediately to one of them ; they
have followed a great way this year, and have been
very kipd in giving us every assistance when in the
ice ; I sincerely wish them all safe back ; they have
along way to go through the ice. The coast begin,
.to look more and more miserable; as we get north,
it has more the appearance of a chain of ice mountains
than land ; the sea is one solid field of ice as far as
the eye can reach. When the wind blows from the
north, we find narrow passages in it, and through.
'them we pass on, sometimes the whole of our men
ere on the ice, dragging the ship along the edge of the
Haws. From the very great variation, we cannot be
c great way from the magnetic pole; you will see
the variation by oar last observation oo the ice at the
head of the letter.
P.S I cannot yet. say any thing about the sdccess
of our voyage ; the season I think is favourable.—
Yowl Ns-- and 1 bad a long bunt after a very
large bear the other day, but he got away from tis.—
I 'ball have some long stories to tell you when I see
you neat.

The 10th Hussars, at present in the Barracks rE

and the head-quarters of the regiment are to be fixed
at Euler.
The 80th Regiment are now on their march from
Colchester Barracks to Manchester.

Saturday Mr. Henry Mal preferred a bill of in
dietevent before the Grand Jury of the City of Lon
don against Mr. Andrew Mitchell, the printer of the
New Times, and Ed card Quinn, Esq. and Dr. Stod.
dart, the proprietors of the said Paper, for a libel.
The Grand Jury, after much deliberation, foetid a
true hill against the parties.
Mr. Hunt afterwards Kent into the Coorfiweibe
Old Bailey, and was proceeding to address the Corn.
num Serjesot, who presided there as Judge,. but Mr:
Alley being in a coese.would not suffer the business
of the Court to be interrupted. Mr. Common Stir:
jeant asked Mr. Hunt if he had any Counsel, .and
the latter having answered that he appeared es•his
own Counsel, the Common Serjesnt told him he must
wait until the business then before the Coed *as die.
pored. of.
.. just previous to the Court breaking up, Mr.
• Hitter !gain presented himself, and moved for 48
-hours' notice of bail, on which the-Cosetoon'Ctit.
'CANT enquired of the officer of the Court what.was
the usual recogniaances in such cases, and being an.
swered 801. the principal, and two sureties in 401.
he ordered bail to that amooht.--
Mr. HUNT.—My Lord, I hope, in this case,' the I
Court will order the principals to give hail to lbw
amount of 4001. each, and their sureties 2001. .
Mr. COMMON SERJEANT.—The Court will make
no such order, it is not a libel of great public im-
portance, but relates merely to an individual; end
the Court can perceive the object of .this application
is to obtain a warrant on Saturday night to Inconve-
nience the Defendants. •
Mr. HUNT.—My Lord, the intention was not that
suggested by the Court, but I apply, as a matter of
right, for a warrant, '
Mr. COMMON SERJEarn.—Are-not the persons re.
sident io the city ? and can you 'weir there is any
reason to believe they will abscond ?
Mr. HllNT.—Lcannot make any such affidavit.
Mr. COMMON SERJEANT.—Then the Court will
not girder the warrant to issue; had you consulted
Counsel they would not have pressed such an appli-
cation. • -
M. ITUNT.—T have, consulted Counsel before I
came here, and was informed, that the motion I
make for a warrant, of 48 hours' notice of bail, is
the usual course, and I ask whether your Lordship
will, in this case, refuse it to me?
Mr. COMMON SERJEANT.4—YOO may have the 48
hours! notice; hut, Mr. Shelton, let the warrant be
suspended until 48 hours have expired..
Sir FRA*CIII DLIANGES.—I hate no knowledge of
either of these Gentlemen, bat I am willing to be.
come their bail. .
'Mr. Hurik.—l know nothing of you, Sir, and I
shall, therefore, require 48 hours' notice to mike
my enquiries. lie was then proceeding to put some'
questions to the Court, when he was interrupted by
Mr. COMMON SERJEANT.—Sir, you have heard the
order; due police of the bail will be given you be.
fore they are taken, and if the Defendants neglect to
give you such notice, or you will swear they •are
likely to runaway, the warrant will ba,sranted, but
not otherwise.
Mr. Husx,—l tame here to seek justice; and
having ;discharged my duty, am satisfied.
Mr. Hunt then quitted the Coact, which was very
crowded, and the greatest silence Was .obsetred der.,
ing the making of this motion. ..Indeed ,the. greatest
anxiety' wasniinifested at the presence of. Mr. !filet
in that, Court—he took his seat- gear. to Mr, .Harty.
Shortly. after he withdrew, the Common Serjeant had
resolved that notice should be served upon the par-
ties, and Mr. Hunt was sent after, to be apprised
of that circumstance, but he bad gone tan far, ied.
the Court immediately afterwards adjourned,.
