Uuited States Brig Advance.
OF Port Leopold, Aug. y, 1850.
SIR; have the honor to acqnamt You with
the proceedings Of the squadron under my
command, since leaving the " hale Fish Is
lands, whence my last despatch was dated.
We sailed on the 29th Of June, but, owing
TO calms and very light winds, we did not
reach the latitude of Uppernavick till the 9Th
of July. Up to this place, no obstruction
from ice was met with. We found a clear
passage Of from 10 to p miles in width, be-
tween the land and the =. pack" The latter
was sighted daily. and had the appearance Of
being mpenetrable.
TO the northward Of Uppernavick, many
streams Of foe ice were found. extending
from the main pack close into the land
Through these, with a fair wind, we found
little difficulty in forcing our way, until we APP
preached BatTiu's Islands. in the latitude Of
II deg. Here the ice appeared SO close and
continuous along the land, that our prog
ress in that dierction was arrested. At the
same time, clear and wide opening present
ed itself leading to the west We had fair
wind to enter it, and it was so directly in our
course for Lancaster Sound, that could not
resist the temptation, particularly as the pas
sage looked to be almost hopeless, by the
usual northern route through Melville Bay.
For several hours our hopes Of a speedy
and direct passage appeared to be confInei L.,
but. after run of forty miles, ice was made
ahead ard on both sides in a continuous line.
We had but entered deep blight in The main
pack.
To return to the eastward, whence we
came, would. perhaps, have cost us days, with
the uncertainty Of being able to get along
even then. Beside, of the only three authen-
tic accounts Of attempts to make the passage
through the pack, in about this latitude, TWO
were eminently successful. The third did
not succeed so well.
In view of these facts, thonghl it advisa-
BILE to enter the pack and endeavor to push
through ii. in direc; line, for the theatre Of
cur researches.
We accordingly did so, and for several
davs succeeded in making some headway,
until at last the ice became so tight aud immo-
vable that it became impossible eithe- TO ad-
vance or retreat. In this hopeless condition
We remained until the 29th Of July, when, by
a sudden movement Of the foes, an opening
presented itself to the north A southeast
wind springing up at the same time, we avail
ed ourselves Of it. and with a press of sail,
succeeded in forcing our way into clear water.
On he following day we were brought up
again b the ice, having made run Of more
than sixty miles. The wind BY this time had
freshened to a gale. which, together with a
thick fog. made our position not little en-
barrassiuc. The vessels were placed in as
secure position as could be found notwith-
standing which, they were in imminent dam
ger from the masses Of ice. driven before the
gale. which pressed upon them. They with
stood the shock, though, brave!y. The danger
vas over on the gale abating.

But no-that cannot be the cause;
For in our western cities,

Some messages from heaven were sent,
