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 South sea side, and then, as the year pas- -sed away, I should need no retr. »t, lor I Extract of a letter from the north of Spain^dated SUth July.

In one column we re. * earnest reraonstances against plunging into* war with the United States, at a moment when our government has not -evinced the lightest disposition toward any such measure. In another column of the same paper, we find it strongly intimated that our government means to impose the dominion of Spain on the South Ameri cans, whilst it is added that the South Americans would be stupid indeed if they submitted to that dominion under any modi fication whatever.

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. at Madrid, as the ministrr qf tear, it ap pears, declared to the general ministry Ciiat there was no alternative-between the complete cession and wars but that the latter was totally out of tlie question. The English iniuister.on being consult ed, intimated dint tile idea of war with the United States was to Spain impracticable an«! that England could do id in..re than aid by diplomatic means which she would continue tu do, although her mediation had been already rejected.—Jiurora. 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 gan a merrypeai. When the Salute was 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 cannot be mistaken. ’weTT’ <enon»h to overtake him and bring him tojustice. t Some of theEnglish papersvae we have previously remarked, are very acrimoni ous on the subject ofthe execution of Ar- fiuthnotand his comrades. It is thought by mai-.y, that these papers speak the langu age of the British government, and tliat some sarious difficulty may ensue.. WV are of* contrary opinion, and incline to the belief that Ihc British government does not wish the subject' to be agitated.— lies congress assembled they may, think proper to order u publication of tlie • rial. If so, we anticipate tliat such farts will appear as wiR abundantly prove the justice ot the sentence executed upon them. A writerin the Worcester federal paper iu the true'spirit of some *‘re4ef” produc tions in this town attempts to assimilate the execution of Arbutiuiot and Arabrister with the inurdet; or Pierce and the,butche ry at Dart-Moor!

Press. A letter from a mercantile house in Lon doo of the date of the 7th of August last, 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 to be of any service in the enterprize of the patriot against the royalists of Peru. [_Balt. Pat.

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 perty in trie pusses^ion of another person' •—hut the thief had escape d. By this time Mr. Fordham thought it proper to anil on Mr. Grey, (who it' must be recollected “knew the man well,”) and who was re sponsible for tiie money etc. Mr. -Grey became afarnird, and started in.pursuit ol S. and although “he knows iriih wellf’ it U very doubtful wbether -“he- djjaows him 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. A Paris paper mentions that “the king of Prance has given a pension to the pro prietor of the house in whichJoANOF Auo was brtrn; and tlie children of the proprie tor are to be educated at the public ex-' pense.
