| Summary: | red a +My enterprising yound friend Mr Cormack having communicated to me some notices of his journey across Newfoundland, I transmitted the same to Lord Ba- thurst, through John Barrow, Esq. Secretary of the Admiralty. His Lordship, in acknowledging Mr Barrow's communication, says, that the journey through the interior of Newfoundland, is, he believes, with one exception, the only one in which the island had been crossed ;-that the state of the _Red Indians_ had attract- ed his Lordship's attention many years ago, as there was reason to believe that our people had put them to death without sufficient provocation; hence there is no won- der that they fly from all approachers; that it is not improbable that the Micmac Indians may have contributed to this indisposition to accept the advances which have been made them; that Mr Cormack's attempts to conciliate them could not be otherwise than interesting; and that the publication of the notice of the journey [inc] his Lordship's sanction and approbation.-R.J.
