AN INTERESTING MANUSCRIPT. A manuscript has been discovered at Santa Clara University, Cal., giving the account of the voyage of the Spanish ships La Princessa and La Favorita to Alaska in 1779. It appears from the story of the writer, Father Riobo, the chaplain of the fleet, that many of the sounds and bays and islands which now bear English names, such as the Prince of Wales Island, Prince William Sound, etc., were given Catholic names years before the)’ acquired their present titles. Middleton Island was called Carmel, for instance, and Prince William Sound after St. James.
