NORTHERN EXPEDITION

We stated in the late impressions of our
last number that Captain Franklin aud
Dr.. Richardson Of The Northern Expedi-
ton, reached this city on Friday morBlng,
over land, by express the ships having
arrived at Orkney. We have not since
been able to collect any minute intelli-
gence respecting the march of these ad-
Venturers. All the journals and memo
Tanda belonging to the memberS OF The ex-
pedition have been forwarded to London ;
and the understood obligation Of secrecy
has prevented the communication of more
than general opinion and inferenees, ex-
cept here and there where the publication
OF the Montreal accounts may have de-
duced a few collateral or explanatory facts
,Rnc circumstances. As to the principal
object of the expedition, ii was correctly
stated by the Courant of yesterday, that
Capt. Franklin is sanguine as to the uti-
mate success of Capt. Parry that the APP
pesrance which the Polar Sea presented
at the mouth of toe Copper Mine river,
and for the distance of 500 miles along
the coast, north east from thence, which
was as far as their resources and the wea
ther would permit them to explore, inn
pressed the expedition with a confidence

COTTON, SUGAR, &c.
Extract of a letter from Orleans, da-
ted 2Ist ultimo.


Gazing TO their being no demand for cot
ton, the planters have been in no bury
10 Sc nd their crops forward as yet, there
has not been more than 600 bales OF Aew
cotton, sold at IA and Is cents, but at this
day. no important sale could be made at
above 3 cents for prime.
The rot and caterpillar has injured the
crops in some sections OF this, and the
neighboring state; bu, as the planters are
continually eRlarg;ng their plantations, and
so many new ones forming, the 0piniOniS,
that the present crop will exceed the last
20, 900 bales-that is, there will be this
quantity more arrive here from all quarters
than there was last year--and as there
now appears to be more ground than IS
wanted for the consumption OF the world,
IT is impossible to say at what rate II would
be fair subject of speculation
The crop of sugar will be small, from
ihe 6ne weather we have had tor several
weeks, the cane viii be ripper than it ge-
morally is. and consequently, the quality
will be better than usual. Al what rate it
will open, must depend on sdyiGes from
our eastern cities.
Tobacco, there is considerable guam
THY yet in store, and the crops are arge,
and the quality good both in Kentucky &
Tennessee, and from present prospects,
will be very low here in the spring.
Money is scarcer than 1t has been for Sc
veral years-the banks do not lend libe-
rally, consequently there is a good deal OF
distress for money, and wiR be more.
