Return Of Captain. Parry.-On Wednesday
morning Captain Parry, and his surgeon, DIR. Bev-
ery, arrived at the Caladonian Hotel here, after
another arduous but unsuccessful attempt to accom-
psh the Polar voyage. Captain Parry came to In
verness by the Chichester Revenue Cutter, comman-
ded by Capt John Stewart. having fortunately fall
len in with Capt s. in the Orknes, on being driven
in there the 22d ult. The history of the present
enterprise is brief; and while we have to commune
cate the agreeable of the safe return of Capt
Parry to his country and friends, able, at the
same time to vouch for the accuracy of the follow
ling particulars. Capt. Parry, on leaving the Dis
covery Ship at the appointed place. off the Spitz-
bergen coast betook himself to the sledge boats pre-
pared for his conveyance over the ice in pursuance
Iof his original Intentions and Instructions and was
out for the space Of sxtyone days. of the boats
being underhis charge, and the other under that
of Lieut.. Ross. These two boats were hauled over
the ice by the crew of the ship, twelve men to each;
and after undergoing incredible fatigue, they felt
that for great part Of the time, they float
ing icebergs which carried them southwark, while
they were stretching every nerve to proceed north
ward; and thus, of necessity, they were compelled
portant fact in the clearest point of view, we have
to mention that during the last three days ofthe exp
dtion, and on taking his observations by the chron-
ometer, Capt Parry found that his boats had gained
two miles only. The expedition arrived at latitude
82 45 and had il proceeded but fifteen miles fur
ther. Capt. Parry and his men would have obtained
the pecuniary remuneration to which they enti-
titled reaching 49,; but even this short distance
was found unattainable by any physical effort Near
ly in the same line we proceeded, to the Hecla. I'm
mediately on reaching the ship the expedition then
proceeded homeward. We are happy to add, that
Capt. Parry his officers and men, are in good health.
