CAPTAIN FRANKLIN'S EXPEDITION. FROM THR QUEBEC GAZETTE OF JUNE 7. The following is an extract of a Letter from a Gen tleman connected with the Expedition under Captain Franklin, R.N. dated Great Slave Lake,- N0v.12, 1826: " The principal object of the expedition was to discover a navi gable passage, westward from the mouth of the Mackenzie, to Behtings" Straits, and Iris Majesty's ship, Illoogpm.. was-dispatched from Cape Morn, for the purpose of meeting it at Icy Cape oc in Kotzebue's Sound. If Captain Franklin's means permitted; he was directed also to send a detsclienebt to the eastward, to survey the coast between Mackenzie and Copper-mine Myers, and to return over land from the mouth of the litter to the estabbalsment on Bear Lake. " From the skill with which Captain.Franklints-arringensents were made, be was enabled to descend the Mackenzlepitatyidt; the Arctic Sea, last year, wittiin six • •snogibs of his deParture from ' Eaglandiand to return again up the river, to our destined wines& quarters at Fort Franklin, in Bear Lake, by open' water.. In the meantime I had sailed• roend Bear Lake, and est/stained the distance between its eastern extremity hnd' the Coppdt•snlfe Rivet. The knowledge of the country gained by these, esii, stone tended !stitch to perfect the plans of operation feir.llll.`year, and the liberal 'applies of provisions. furnished by, the .litsilsori, Bay Company, the' spring, enabled Captain Franklin .to equip both parties: .Taro . [mats were built for the scream, iuSsaglend of ntahciginy, a Stood amsidered to be well adapted for the per.; pose. They were necessarily small, and of a light tonstruitioa, that they might be more easily carried over the numerous portages which occur on the route from York Factory, Hudiorei Bay, to Bear Lake; but from the care bestowed in .building them, they reacted that place without material injury, and eventual' , " anaw'ered even better than they were expected to do. A'fdurth of a similar size and form, was built at Bear Lake of fir, and proved as good as the others, The main part of the expedition, which was to proceed to the westward, under Captain Franklin's immediate command, is two of the boats, which were named .the Linn and Reliance, consisted of Lteutetrant Back, eleven British seamen, marines, and landsmen, two Canadian voyagers, aid an Baquimaux interpreter. The eastern detachment,. comprising Mr. Kendall, assistant surveyor, one seaman, two marineksia-landsmen, and an Rsquinsaux, embarked in the Dolphin • and Union, and were put under the charge of Dr. Richardson. " We left obr ',Meet-quarters on the 21st of June, descended the Mackenzie till the 2d of July, and as far as latitude 67 deg. 39 m. N. long. 135 deg. 53 m. W. At this place, named Parting Point by Captain Franklin, the river divides into a number of widey diverging branches separated from each other by low and partially flooded lands. It was determined that the two divisions of the expedition should separate here, and that each party should fellow the channel which accorded best with their respectiveeoutes. Captain Franklin, in the preceding autumn, had descended a mid dle channel, and reached the seat at Garry's island, in lat. 69 30 deg. N. long. 155 45 kV. He now entered the most westerly arm which winds round the base of the rocky mountains, and reached Its mouth on the 7th' of July. Its outlet is so barred by sand banks, that the . • crews were compelled to drag the boats for miles, even at the top of high water. In this unpleasant situation they were visited by a 'large party of squimaux, who at 'first . habaved quietly and carried on a baiter, in an amicable manner ;put at kngth prompted by the desire of plunder, and confiding in the,vuperlorityg numbers, on a . . precot3cyrted ;signal, upwards 4950Airoot.felluws, armed with long knives, rushed into the vs.ter misips.ou the. boats; • dragged them Tp_judidous measures pur sue d . by Captain Franklin, however, well semmied ,by.the prompt obedience and deterroloed conduct of Lleatenant Back and the crewarif- the boatkrescued the provlsions.ata all the property of consequence from tbe_baodi 04."eut.freebootert,ancitthe boats were uhituately got afloat ivithbet albot having been 14red,_ or spy personal injury received on ether side.

Thick fogs and heavi gales prevented the expedition from quitting this inhospitable part of the coast, and it was detained on one spot for' eight deli bra fog so dense the! all s Olivetti were obscured at the dietanee of few yards, stormy weather prevailing all the time. Notwithstanding these almost insuemount. 'able obstacles, the resolution and perseverance of Captain Franklin and hie party enabled them to reach nearly tile 190th degree 'of 'longitude by the 111th of August. They had then performed more than halt the distance, along the coast, - to Icy . Capc-e-hael pleat y of provisions, 'that' in good order, and an open sea before them— and althpugh, from the fatigues they had undergone, the strength • of the crews was somewhat itripaited, yet their spirit was en, broken. By% Use period had how arrived when it was Captain, Franklin's duty, in pursuance of his instructions, to considers • the prohatiiiitrof his being Ale to reach Kotztboe's Sound before the severe weather set in ; and, if be did not expect to attain flea object, be was prohibited from hazarding the safetys( the party by a longer cominuance on the coast. It 'nook' have been the extremity of rashness to have attempted to get to Kqtzebue's Sewall E'y tra. versing an unknown coast at that advinced season, even had he been certain that the Blossom had reached that place ; but she en. certainty attending ill voyages irs high latitudes made it extremely doubt's' whether that vessel was actually at the rendezvosfs or not. It was therefore in conformity *itb Csistaln Frankiin'e usual indg stem, and the almost paternatAnziety he has always evinced* ft r lb. safety of those who had UM happiness tiieerne under d. emu ,6l6od, that he decided open commencing hiesiturn to Bear Lake at that period. " It was a matter of the deepest regret to hheseif and bit' whole party that they turned their backs upon an onsurveyed part of the cease. Throaty feeling that will be excited in the enituloof others will be surprise, that be.was able to surmount the obstacles opposed to his progress to the extent that he did. The propriety of Captain Franklin's determination was evinced by a succession of stormy weather, which speedily set in ; and by intelligence he received front some friendly Esquimaux lads, that their countrymen ware collective in numbers about the mouth of the Mackenzie; and that a. large part of the mountain Indians were on. die nutich An - intercept him, on account of Ids having come, as they eepposed. to interfere with the teed. of the. fisqulnfalnt. Had he been only a few days later. it is more then probable that he could not have escaped the numerous enemies without a contest. He arrived with his party in perfect health at Bear Lake on the Mist of September, and dispatched an express the.following morn ing with an account of his proceedings to Government. As it was necessary that the express should set out without delay, to embleit to ascend the Mackenzie whilst the navigation continued open, Captain Franklin bad merely time to write* me a short account of his proceedings. The preceding sketch is, therefore, necessarily very imperfect. I have omitted to mention that the trending of the coast carried the expedition into 704 degrees of North lathed.. an" Withlegard to the eastern detachment of the expedition, On parting from Captain Franklin they pursued the easternmost channel of the river, which is that by which Mackenzie returned from the the sea, and Is accurately and ably described by him. They reached the sea on the 7th of July, in lat. 69 deg. 29 min. N..long. 185 deg. 24 niln. W. having oar that day fallen in with a horde of Eaquitnaux, while the boats were (in a similar should° to Captain Franklin's) egroend on the flats at the mouth of the river, endeavoured to-seize upon My. Kendail:sboat, no doubt far the purpos: of plundering ie. The attempt, however, which was, perhaps. merely the impulse Of the tananeset, was not participated in by the whole horde, and was lestantly frustrated by the coot courage of Mr. Kendall and the determined attitude assumed by the party, without the necessity. esf baying recourse to violence. They gave no farther. trouble. and the party left them with the show at least of friendship. The parties of the nation which wereMetaftetwaris, being Inferior in numbers theempodition, were very clyii. They displayed, however, Much courage in opening an interccurqr " After reaching the sea, considerable difficulty was experienced in-emating a shore of a very peculiar hatere, to lat.. 76 deg. 37 min. N. long. 126 deg. 52 min. W. The coast, thus far, cionsista of isiandsof alluvial (or perhaps.in the present Lnguageof Geis. logien, of diluent) origin, -skirted by sandy banks naming 'far •ro sealfird, and intersected by creeks of brackish water, and separated in part by wide estuaries, pouring out at that season of the year large bodies of fresh water. These alluvial lands are inundated by the spring floods, and covered with drift timber, except a nub ber of insulated mounds of freizeb earth, which rise considerably aboie the highest .water-mark, and are analogous to the frozen banks or Icebergs described as bounding liotzebee's Sound. Between 6aeof and the main shore there is a very exten sive lake of brackish water; which perhaps communicates with the eastenabranch olthe. Mackenzie, and rrceives„atleast, one other large river. • ..- "This party subsequently tracked a rneky. ind bolder shore, rounded Cape Parry in lat. 70 deg. 18. min. N. long. 125 deg. W.

W. and entered George the Fourth's Coronation Gulph, by the Dolphin and Union Straits, which brought them nearly to the 115th deg. of W. longitude. They then steered for the Copper-mine River, and entered it on the Bth of August. • " They suffered some detention on this voyage, from bad wea ther, and had, on several occasions, to cut a passage through tongues of ice with the hatchet, and to force a way for the hoes with much labour and some hazard. The ice attains a, great thickens in that sea, some of the floes being agroun d i n nine fathoms water, but under the powerful radiation of a sun con stantly above the horizon, in the summer months, it decays with an almost incredible rapidity. As the boats drew only 20 inches of water, the party were on several occasions en..bled to sad through shallow canals, worn on the surface of these floes by the action oldie waves, when, from the ice being closely packed ohs the shore, they could find no passage betwixt the masses of which it was composed. They had fortunately clear weather for these attempts. Had they experienced the fogs which Captain Ft anklin met with to the westward, they must of necessity have remained onshore. Notwithstanding the quantity of ice.they encountered thus early in the season, they were convinced that towards the end of August there is a free passage fur a ship along the northern coast of Amertea, from the 100th to the 150th degree of west longitude; and to the eastward of the Mackenzie there are some commodious har bours, although there are none on the part of the coati surveyed by Captain Franklin to the westward. The whole dillieuky le per forming the North-west passage in a ship seems to be in attaining the coast of the continent through the intricate straits *kith 'lead from Baffin's or Hudson's Bays. The flood tide was foudd settlhg everywhere along the coast from the eastward. " The rapids, which obv,reet the navigation of the Cuppermine, prevented them from bringing their boats above eight miles from the sea, and they therefore abandoned them there with the re. attainder of their stores, tents, &c. a present to the Eaquitnaux, and set out overland to Fort Franklin, carrying (exclusive of inetrumeota, arms, and ammunition, and a few specimens of plants and mineral , ) merely a blanket and ten days' provisions fair each 'Persian.' 'They , arrived 011 the eastern arm of Bear Lake on the. sloth of .Jbegtrit, and at the Fort on the let of September, after an absence of 71-day.:, in excellent health and condition. ." The two branches of the* expedition have thus; surveyed the coast through upwards of. thirty-six degrees of longitude, which, together with Captain Franklin s former discoveries and those of Captain Parry, render the Arctic Sea pretty well known, u far as the 115th degree of west longitude. There remain only eleven degrees of unknown coast betwixt that and Icy 'Cape, and Captain Beech) , bas perhaps by this time traced a considerable portion even of thit In the Blo.sotn, so that a complete discovery of the North West passage, so long an object for which Britain has contended, is. now brought within very narrow limits. " The expedition returns to Englarql next year by the Hirdarin's Bay Company's ship, with the exception of Captain Franklin sad Dr. Richardapo, who preppie to ge home by the way of Ca nada and New York.. As Captain Franklin intends to travel the winter on the Icei 'he hopes tu reach Montreal towards the end of Aegest, 1887." ,~ . ~: ~ , I' • I 'l l' • t , ! • IL • ) L. U I
