Return Of Captain PnrV Oh "Wednesday
morning, Captain Parry IA mis- surgeon, d. Be-
ver'ey, arrived az the Csledonlsn Hoie here after
another arduous but unsuccessful attempt to ac-
compish the Polar voyage Capt Parry came To
Invernee- by the Chichester Revenue Gutter, COM
manded by Captain I'm ) ewart, having unfor,u-
nately fallen IN with Capt :. in the Ofkneys on
being driven in there on the 22d ult. The history
OF the present erpriss is brlef-snd, while we
have to communicate the agreeable news of the safe
return OF Captain Parry TO his country and friends,
we are able at the same time, TO vouch for the ac-
curacy OF the following particulars. Captain
EsiTy, on leaving tho D,sco~ery AT the appointed
place, oil the SPi zbe gen coast, betook himself To
the sledse boats prepared Tor his conveyance oven
tie ice in pug Of his original ntentions and
Instructions, and was out Tor the space of sixty
one days. one OF the boats being under his own
charge, and the other under that of Lieut. Ross
These two boats were handed over the ice by the
crew Oh me snip, tNeIFe men to each: and after
undergoing incredible fatigue, they felt that for
great part of the time they were on floating ice
bergs which carried them souihward, while thew
were stretching every nerve to proceed nor hyvsrd;
and thus, of nscessity, they were compelled 20 a.
bandon the enterprise. To establish this imt or
'snt tact In tie cleaTest point OF view, we have
TO ention that during the last three days of the ex
pediiion, s. taking his observations by the
ch'onomeier, Captain Parry found that his boats
had gained miles only. The expedition ar
rived at latitude 50, 49,; s had it proceeded bat }
miles farther, Captain Parry s his men would have
obtained The pecuniary remuneration 10 which ,hey
were entitled on reaching 50 but even this short
distance found TO be altogether unaliainable
by any physical effort. Nearly in the same line
they bad proceeded, the boats returned 10 the He
ella. Immediately on reaching the ship the ex-
pednion procse'led homeward. We ale harry to
add, that Capisih Parry, his officers and men, are
all IN good health. Llcerness Courier.
TIE Penins IA. Tile French psgers o. Mon
