The investigation lasted fire hours; and the result was, that Vickery should accompany Mr. Pearson in pursuit of Franklin to France, it being supposed that he bad gone there, from the ciectunstance of a letter being received by a person in the city from Dover, stat ing that, if the description of the person of Franklin, which appeared in the placards and public papers, was rightly understo o d, h e o b tained a passport atover, previous to his embarking for France, in the name of Harrison.
