Capt. Sir Joint Ross, of the Alexander, reached this town on Saturday after. nowt, and set off shout two hums aftery arils in a chaise sae London. The following particulars respecting the newly discos wed rare of Esquimaux were communicated by Slid. Ross. Ine di•corery ships had been lying adjoining the land, between lat. 7th. and 77. fastened 110 an iceberg, for two or three stay and had just shoved off, when to their great sm. prise they saw some persons coming down trust the interior, towards the shore, in sledges drawn by dogs. Our countrymen immediately put back ; but on landing, the natives tied towards the inter ion. In order. it possible, to open a emit_ munication witbthem, the Esquimau a, on hoard the expedition, set off after them; about three miles over the ice: sacceeded in this object ; when he toned lie was able to male himself imperfectly understood by them, and also to comprehend their meaning. On the first introilitetton taking place, the natives inquired whether their visitors came from the Son or the Moon? The I.:squint:sox told diem neither; but from a large eoubtry a great distance from the South. They said this was impossible, as they said there was wilting to the Southward but uninhabitable is e. It was with great diffirithy that they mild be convinced of their error, or led to regard our countrymen in any other light than as beings from some other planet. On being taken on board the vessels, they manifested the utmost surprise at every tiling they saw. They could not fur some time be persuaded that the ships were not animals, and possessed the power of speaking; and when told that they were of the nature of houses, intimated dint (could nut he, since the former went Wei:wards and forwards, while,honses were stationary. They repeatedly handled the clothes of the crews, and could not conceive what sort of Skins they were made of; their own eorering being wholly of that description. Of bread or grain they knew not the nse ; and on being induced to put some of the former into their mouths, after masticating it for some time, spat it out strain as tasteless. Their own food, it appears, was chiefly fish and blubber. They had never seen any timber, and were quite ignorant of its properties; so that one of them on going *hoard, and seeing a mast jai.' upon the deck, attempted to take it np in his bands, as if he conceived it to be devoid of weight. Another of them, on hieing taken into the cabin and shown Isis image in a mirror, started 114.41 with sun wise, and could not, until after repeated assurance and experiments, be convinced that there was not some person behind the mirror. They appeared to have no idea of a Gail, or of a future state ; nor do they seem, from what %%e eau learn, to have any enemies, but supposed themselves sole muslin CIO Of  the universe."
