We learn from Vienna, that counsellor Gieseke, who has been long distinguished by his dramatic works, composed for the Theatres of that capital, undertook some years ago, a voyage to Greenland, for the purpose of making observations in Natural History. He remained six years in that country. The collections which he made there he has sent to Copenhagen, for the ́: purpose of their being united with the general collection, of being arranged according to their classes, and in the sequel of their being published. This task the traveller himself has undertaken, and his performance may be speedily expected.

In explanation of this intelligence the reader should be informed, that there is at Disko, or Disko-bay, a Danish settlement, where a factor constantly resides, and lives in tolerable comfort, by means of the supplies sent from Europe. The Danish Government maintains a governor for the superintendence and managementof their concerns; and hither are sent o be required of culprits of certain descriptions, who take conduct of their occasion to intermarry among the native Lous information to Greenlanders, very little to the improve and a correct de-ment of the morals of such inconsiderate the employment, connexions.
