Executive Department, 1 November 12, 1827. $ Information given on oath has been pre sented at this department, by the Surveyor General, by which it appears that errors have been committed in the surveys of the land lying in the 1st dist. of the 2d sec. of the Territory embraced by the Treaty of the Indian Springs. The extent of these er rors cannot be ascertained by the testimony exhibited. With a view to obtain more ac curate information, as well as in justice to i the person accused, he has been permitted to examine the papers, and to make such observations upon them as a regard to truth and his own character required. A letter addressed by him to the Executive, admits the existence, but does not show the extent of the errors committed. Grants for land lying in this district and section have been issued, applications are hourly made for Huzza for Jackson.—By the arrival last night of the packet ship Statira, Captain Wood, we have been politely favoured with New-York papers to Friday last, which con tain the result of ihe New-York election— perhaps the most important election that has ever taken place in this country for the last thirty years. The Enquirer of the 8th inst. thus notices the result of the contest:—[Sac. Republican., 16th inst. j Glorious Victomf.—Last evening the polls throughout the city closed at sunset. Up wards of Twenty Thousand votes have been polled, an amount unparalleled in any con test in this state. The number is so great that the votes could not be canvassed in time for an exact return; hut we state, with feelings of pride and gratification, that the entire Jackson Ticket has succeeded by a majority of from Three to Five Thousand votes ; a majority which marks the integrity of a five people, and the perpetuity of the • old anc honest Republican party. This contest has been fierce beyond ex ample.—Orir experience, which commenced almost in boyhood, knows no parallel for warmth, violence, management, zeal, and perseverance; and we have never had to fight a battle so desperate—the enemy dis puted every inch of ground—money was profusely expended—the Adams men hired every room—engaged coaches—sent off couriers—printed handbills—pamphlets and caricatures innumerable—and painted trans parencies—flags, and every thing that could catch the eye. As to its political character, we met at the polls giving out the Adams Ticket, the same old Federal electioneerers in the Senate, both partied ; and to he any criterion, it must also be ackno lodged, that they show that Jackson will have a majority of Electors in Maryland, for the third, fourth, fifth and sixth Electo ral Districts, which choose six Electors out of Eleven, have chosen twenty-two Jackson Delegates out of thirty-two. Maryland, in my opinion is, therefore, stronger for Jackson than in 1824 ; and I judge by the result of the late elections. Pennsylvania.—We have-been told of great changes and of an administration tri umph in Pennsylvania; and what is it? Out of one hundred Delegates chosen at the late election, eighty, at least, are for Jackson Pennsylvania is therefore as true as ever. Kentucky.—At the election of Mr. Adams eight members of Congress voted for him, and four for Jqckson; at the late election in August, seven Jaeksonians and five Adams men were elected- Kentucky is for Jackson; Adams got no votes there in 1824i Illinois has turned out the representative who voted for Adams, and elected a friend to Jackson. Missouri h^s done the same. Yet strange to say, both these states are claimed for Adams. Ohio.—The Elections are now going on, and the prospects for Jackson are bright. He was the second in Ohio in 1824. Adams was third. Jackson is likely to be first in 1828. .Yew York.—Out of 36 votes Jackson only got one in 1824. His friends count on more than 18 in 1828. Virginia was for Crawford in 1924. She is now for Jackson ; even his opponents there, d ue not bring out an Adams ticket. No, they have called an Jtnti-Jackson Con vention ; which is to meet at Richmond on the eighth day of January, the anniversary of the glorious victory at New Orleans ! Georgia was for Crawford : her vote is now as certain for Jackson. Calculations are calculations only ; yet I will give you one, and a9k you to remember it this time twelve months; and if I am not very much mistaken, you will acknowledge then, that 1 was so far right in my calcula tions, as to get votes enough to elect Jack- son. and some to spare. I claim, therefore, his former electoral votes, in number, 99—Virginia 24—Geor gia 9—New York 18—Kentucky 9—Ohio 16—Total votes for Jackson 175, Remember 131 elects him, and I should not he at all surprised to see him receive from one hundred and eighty to two hundred votes. Remember what I now say, and tell me of it hereafter. I speak my wishes; at the same time I speak with candor. If Jack- son lives no earthly power can defeat his election. His friends must however be firm, be steady. The conflict may be warm ; but it will he as decisive as the victory of New Orleans. ce of siXty-one g under his own charge, and the other under that of Lieut. Ross. These two boats were Imulctl over the ice by the crew of the ship, twelve men to each ; and alter undergoing incredible fatigue, they felt, that for a great part of the time they were on floating ice-bergs, which carried them Southward, while they were stretching every nerve to proceed North ward : and thus, of necessity, they were compelled to abandon the enterprise. To establish this important fact in the clearest point of view, we have to mention, that du ring the last three days of the expedition, and on taking his observations by the chro- nometer, OaDtain Parry found that his boats had gained 2 miles only. The expedition arrived at latitude 82, 45 ; and had it pro ceeded but 15 miles farther; Captain Parry and his men would have obtained the pecu niary remuneration to which they are enti tled on reaching S3 ; but even this short dis tance was found to be altogether unattaina ble by any physical effort. Nearly in the same line they had proceeded, the boats re turned to the Hecla. Immediately on reach ing the ship, the expedition proceeded home wards. v Wear© happy to add, that Capt. Parry, his officers and men, are all in good health.—The cold was most intense, and frequently with rain. Upon one occasion it fell incessantly for th rty-six hours. The reindeer were soon, killed, as being entirely useless, from the state of the ice,. &c. they could not be fastened to the boats. Two bears w’ere shot, and afforded a supply of fresh meat to the crew. While the party were on the ice. Lieutenant Foster was em ployed in surveying the coasts in the vicini- of Spitsbergen.

Carson, Esq. member of Congress from the Morganton District, and Dr. Robert B.

This cannot happen again.

Return of Captain Parry.—On Wednes day morning, Captain Parry, and his sur- geori, Dr. Beverly, arrived at the Caledonian Hotel here, after another arduous but un successful attempt to accomplish the Polar voyage. Captain Parry came to Inverness by the Chichester 'Revenue Cutter, com manded by Capt. John Stewart ; having for tunately fallen iti with Cfapt.. S. in tbe Ork neys, on being driven in 4beice on the 22d ult. The history of the present enterprise s brief i and, while we have to communi ate the agreeable*news of the safe return of Captain Parry to his country and friends, we are able at th&sfiftfo time, to vouch for accuracy of^)£ fiAlowing particulars. Capt. Parry cm leq^q^the Discovery at the Captain Franklin.—Capt. Franklin and Dr. Richardson arrived here on Wednesday evening, from New York, and set off on Thursday for London. The rest of tbe party tinder Capt. Back and Lieut. Kendall, were to return by the Hudson Bay Compa ny’s ships, and may be daily expected in the Orkney'Islands.—The expedition has been eminently successful. Captain Frank lin and Capt. Back, after failing down the Mackenzie River, coasted westward to about the 150 deg. W. long. They met with no considerable indentation on the j coast; but it gradually trended northward I almost as far as they penetrated, to about I lat. 62 deg. 30 min., when it seemed to run j nearly west. At the furthest advance of this part of the expedition, they were about 150 miles separated from the ship Blos^na, under Capt. Beachv ; and, had each beeh aware of this circumstance, Captain Friink- lin might have returned to England by the Pacific Oceaq: but, had they failed to meet, the season was so far advanced that it would have been an unjustifiable hazard of human, life to have peisevered in advancing west ward. /Capt. Franklin, therefore, very pro perly retraced his way back to Great Bear Lake, where they spent the last winter in the society of their friends, who, in the meantime, had, under Dr. Richardson and Lieut. Kendall, explored the whole coast between the Mackenzie and the Copper- mine Rivers. The last portion of the Ameri can coast is more indented with bays than the other; and both have been surveyed and laid dowm by tbe adventurous travellers. Westward of the Mackenzie, the vast chain of the Rocky Mountains terminates about ten to twenty miles from the coast. The Esquimaux natives, at first suspicious or hostile, soon became friendly. Provisions were abundantly and liberally supplied by the Hudson Bay Company ; and it is more gratifying to think that this expedition lias terminated without any loss of life, and that our gallant anil indefatigable countrymen seem in excellent health, notwithstanding the numerous fatigues and privations which they bad undergone.
