received within these few days very distinct con.
frmation, rendering the statement by far the most
mportant-presuInptiv or otherwise-whch has
yet reached us.
William Miller, seaman on board the Prince of
Wales, states on oath, that he was on board that

1t became evident that he had been in the hitherto
unexplored and more northern sound, named after
Alderman Jones, passage which, it has been
believed, leads directly to the sea north of the
Parry Island. William Miller further declares
