THE XOIITU VOLE,
It was'tlic linn. Dailies Barrington who
ill the year 1773, proposed captain Phil-
S is’* expeditions the North Pole. After
ie failure of this expedition, Mr. Barring
ton, in justification of his proposal, col
lected a variety of documents, which were
featl at a meeting of the royal Society in
1774- The following is an extract from
them, and the sea <d!kcr alluded to is the
present venerable major ■Cartwright:
Whilst the ships destined for the North .
Pole (alluding to captain Phipps's expedi
tion) were prepairing, a most ingenious
and able sea officer, lieutenant John Cart
wright, told me, that twelve years ago he
had been informed of a very remarkable
•voyage made by v .captain Cullum, in a
Greenland aliin, nearly ns fsr as latitude
He had proceeded with int tlie least
obstruction to S2 1 -2,- when the sea was
not oqjy open to the northward, hut they
had not seen a sne*'k of ice for the last
three degree*, and the weather at the same
time was tempt i He. As they advanced
into the high northern latitudes, the mate
began torftomplain that the compass was
unsteady, and the captain reluctantly
yielded to the mate’s protest, and return
cd to his station at Greenland.”
The following was captain Dampier’s
opinion of a north-west passage:—
“t know there have been, divers aG
tempts made about a N. W. passage, and
all unsuccessful; yet, I am of opinion
that such a passage may be found. All
our countrymen that have gone to disco
ver the N. W. passage have endeavored
to pass to the westward, beginning their
search along Davis’s Straits, nr Hudson’s
Bay; but if I was to go nn this discovery,
I would go first into the South seas, bend
my. course thence along California, and
-that Wav seek a passage into the West
seas. . For, as others have spent the sum
mer in first searching-on this more known
side nearer home, and so, before they got
-through, the-time of the year obliged them
\.to give over tlieir search, and provide for
. a long course back again, for fear of being
.left in the winter; on the contrary, I would
search first on {lie less known coast of the

Mr. 5Ion*oe—You w-il, l suppose, be
curious to know who is talked of here as
successor to Mr. CrowntnshieUi, as head
of the navy department. The more pre
valent opinion is, that it will be Mr. .Cad-
tvaladerC. CuUhn, the present mayor of
New-York. It is said here, that his ap
pointment would be hailed with pleasure
by the officers of the navy generally, and
a confident expectation ^entertained that
he will be selected.

POPULAR FEELIXG.
On Friday last, (says the New-llaven
llerald of the ISlh inst-) as soon as it hud
oeen ascertained that the new coostitutio
was adopted, a federal salute of 21 guns
was fired from a park of Artillery, ou the
city green, under the command of colonel
Seth Galpinc. This was followed by three
hearty cheers. The shipping in the har
bor displayed their colors, and another sa
lute of 21 guns was fired from the revenue
cutter Eagle. In the afternoon, another
salute of 21 rounds was fired iu Broad
way, by a company under the command of
sergeant John M‘Neil, At the las’ men
tioned place, the Charter of lung Charles
the Id, was rammed into the cannon and
discharged; after which, 20 guns were fir
ed over the remains. After the first sa
lute, all the bells cotctoporaneously, be

over, they t-dled three limes; we suppose
in honor of the death of the poor rid char
ter. So much for popular feeling. It

A letter from a mercantile house in Lon

received in this city, conveys intelligence
that the English ship Cumberland, of 1200
tons, and 60 guns, has been sold to the
patriot government of Chili, in South
America, and that its arrival at tlie port ol
Valparaiso, in that country, was expected
in the course of the month of May. The
English ship Wymlhain, of 840 tons, and
mounting40 guns, also bought by the go
vernm *it of Chili, was already urdered
against the Spanish frigate Vanganza—
that with this force, and two other well
armed English brigs of 22 guns each well
manned and commanded, which were des
patched from Buenos Ayres to Valparaiso,
it was believed that the patriots would
gain the ascendency in tlie Pacific ami all
toe coast of Lima, as their maritime
strength was by far superior to any Span
ish force in those seas. The two*vessels
constructed in the United States by don
Manuel Aguirre, would be there too fate

A l’AXKEE TRICIC. 1
On Sunday evening last, a man by the
name of Thomas Sisson arrived at' this
place with a horse and gig, arid reported
to have.come from Philadelphia, where he
had been for the purpose of apprehending
a man ir.o had stolen 700 dollars from him.
On Monday morning the horse and gig
were offered for sale; but as the fellow was
suspected of having stolen them, Mr! So
lomon Grey of this place came forward
and said ‘die knew the man well,” that he
was worth property—owned a fine schoon
er, etc. at Stonington, (Con.) and offered
to stand in the gap if any person wished
to purchase them; accordingly Mr. It.
Fordham, keeper of the Union Hotel,
agreed tt> purchase them, provided Mr.
Grey, “who knew the man well.” would
become responsible for them in case they
should be stolen, which Mr. G. did; tlie
money was paid, and jhe nian lef the place
On Tuesday evening Mr. Willis, from
Brooklyn came to Mr. Fordham and de
manded said horse and gig as his property,
it appears that Sisson hired the hbrse and
gig of Mr. Wil(js on Saturday, to ride to
Jamaica, anti was to return the pext day;
the time of arriving having expired, and
SLaon not returning, Mr. Willis became
uneasy, and started in pursuit and came
on as far as this place, and found his pro

Mr. Fordham thought it proper to anil on

THE
* ESQUIMAUX INDIAN.
Such is the Daptismal appellation given
to this Indian, on his conversation to the
Christian faith. During Iris stay <n Eng
land lie was taught the English language,
in which he was mule a very tolerable pro-
‘ii fancy, and Iris hand writing is legible.—
in his person he is well made, Iris complex
ion a copper color, and he is about five feet
>ix inches in height: he is robust and very
active. Mis canoe, which is now on board
the Isabella, sent out to explore the arctic
regions, the same in which he was found
at sea. It is fifteen feet long, and cntirelv
from the skin ofthe seacall; it is sea proof.
Each end is pointed like those boats that
ply on the Thames, and which are called
funnies; but the upper part is opeH Jike
the deck of a little sloop. In the midst is
an opening in which lie seats himself,
which comes up to his loins, then, by
means of a belt made of the intestines of
the whole, he fastens round his body the
Lins that were placed round this opening;
nil the upper part of hisbudy is well wrap-
cd up in furs, that only his hands and face
are exposed to the water. In this position,
with one single paddle, he matsvres his
canoe either in advance or retreat, with
the inost surprising swiftness, and far su
perior to that of tnur-oanl cutter; but what
is the meat astonishing of allhisjnancavre*,
he can give to h:s vessel all tlie properties
of a diving machine and shelter himself
like an aquatic fowl in" the most stormy
weathei; he lays it entirely on the side,
and is totally plunged under the water,
while his canoe, still following the same
direction, has its keel turned upwards: he
then goes on the other side,-places himself
as beforel what renders this movement the
more extraordinary is. that during all this
time he never lets go iris,paddle. He lias
shown these mancevrcs on the river to the
astonishment of a crowd of spectators.—
VVhen he throivs his .dart he never misses
his aim, and he throws a long lance to a
considerable distance.

of Prance has given a pension to the pro
