THE ISABEL—BAFFIK'S BAY SEARCH
EXPEDITION.
This vessel, it is well known, was originally destined
for research, under steam propelling p"wer, in the di-
rection of Behring's Straits. Owing to Captain Beat-
son's tailing in getting off at the proper season and
other causes, this well-arranged nice little craft was
thrown upon the responsibility of Lady Franklin; at
least, Lady Franklin, with that ardour and self-devotion
which has characterised this noble-minded woman ever
since particular solicitude has been entertained in re-
spect to the safety of her gallant husband, undertook
the responsibility in order to save the efforts and ex-
penditure made therein from being altogether lost.
Lady Franklin's interest in the vessel, thus acquired, has
been conveyed to Captain Inglefield, R.N., an enter-
prising, energetic, and gentlemanly officer, who now
sets out under the encouragements of universal good
wishes, and the sanction of the Admiralty, for:the special
and careful search of the sounds at the head and on the
north-western coast of Baffin's BaY, and with the ulti-
mateebfore of this great
e
the gal-
intention (after probably wintering in the northern
part of the bay) of tracing the western
will probably
inlet, down through the extent of the little-known coast
of Labrador. This course of investigation
serve to set at rest any lingering notions (with which,
indeed, we ourselves do not at all agree) of the identity
of the wrecks seen on an iceberg with the missing dis-
covery ships.
But far more important objects will
hint commander—especially that .0f
b aide
penetrating by his
hardy little ship, or exploring by in-travelling parties—
the sounds in the tar north of Baffin's Bay; and, not
impossibly—for we by no means consider the termina-
tion of Jones's Sound to be determined—of finding a
short and early passage. by sea or ice travelling, from
Jones's Sound into the fine opening, north of W 1
e-lington
Channel, discovered by Captain Penny. The laabel is
abundantly supplied with all kinds of stores, and admi-
rably adapted both for general exploration and winter-
ing. Patent fuel is on board to an extent minable of
propelling the vessel a distance of some 7,000 miles.
Yesterday noon (Monday) the Isabel, which
had
dropped down to Greenbithe for being swung for the
adjustment of her compasses, was visited by Lady
Franklin, accompanied by her nephew, Mr. W. Frank-
lin, the Rev. Dr. Scoresby, and others, including several
ladies, who remained on board for a couple of is
nandanxiously looking into the curious equipments ~
preparations for the voyage, and conversing, ;Phu
touching solicitude and interest, with the activelt"
and sailor-like captain and his long-experieneed'
master. Even the snug little apartments and berthsice_
below were visited by the ladies, and the am Teresa
of the supplies of every kind inquired into, °flees
Roderick Murchison, the president of the Geological Sir
Society, who has always manifested great
interest•
these expeditions, came on board at the same interest_ in
ing period, and united cordially in the earnest sytn
of the atsoc;ated friends. At the conclusion of
tgathies

the side, and down by a somewhat rude accommodative

that it has not yet been taken into consideration by the
senate.
DIRECT WEST END AND CROYDON RAILWAY.
A call of 501. per share was made by Master in Chancery
Tinney, to pay off the debt of this company. An applica-
tion was made by Captain T. Graves, a member of the pro-
visional committee, representing 100 shares, to be taken off
the list of liability. on the ground that having been abroad
he could not answer to his call in court. Mr. H. Harris,
solicitor to the company, stated that during the last two
years the necessary legal notices had been received at Capt.
Graves's residence, and also by his agents; whereupon the
Master refused the application with costs.

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

We have received the Paris journals of yesterday.
The Senate met on Monday, Marshal JEROME
BONAPARTE in the chair. The proceedings coin-
r,l menced by the presentation of two reports from the
Marquis DE BELBEUF and General Count D'llauT-
I POOL, having for object the re-constitution of the
cadre of generals and admirals. After a discussion,
in which Cardinals MATBIEU and DON/VET took part,
these reports were referred to the Ministers of War
and Marine. General LABITTE then presented a
report on the Bill relative to the consular jurisdiction
in China. The Senate, after discussing the measure,
authorized its promulgation. A similar decision was
cone to relative to four local Bills, and to that which
concerns the session of the Bois de Boulogne to the
city of Paris. The Senate next proceeded to discuss
(-tie Senatus Consultum, relative to the organization of
1 the High Court of Justice; and, after observations
from M. MESNARD, Count PORTALIS, Marshal VAIL-
-1
LANE, M. TROPLoAG, Baron DE CROUSEILDES, the
Reporter, and MM. ROURER, SIDER DE CORNILLON,
and LACAZE, the measure was declared to be
adopted. The Senate next declared that it did
not oppose the promulgation of the Bill accord-
ing au extraordinary credit for the decoration and
fitting up of the Imperial and Royal Museum; of,
that granting a credit for the purchase of Muanw s
picture of the " Conception de la Vierge ;" of that
granting an extraordinary credit for charitable insti-
tutions ; of that making a certain provision for the
persons employed inethe last civil list; of that grant-
ing a credit for the expense of raising the monument
to the memory of the late Archbishop of PARIS ; and
of that according a special and extraordinary credit
fbr works executed at the tomb of the Emperor
NAPOLEON. The Senate next proceeded to discuss
the budget of 1853,
and declared that it did not op-
pose the promulgation of the Bill. The President of
the Senate then pronounced a closing address, which
was received with numerous marks of sympathy and
approbation. Count X. DE CASABIANCA, the Mi-
nister of State, was then introduced, and read the
proclamation declaring the Senate to be closed. The
senators then at once separated.
The decree by which the Senate is closed is as
follows :

The Moniteur promulgates the Bills relating to the
definitive settlement of the budget of 1849: likewise,
the Convict Rehabilitation Bill, and that granting an
extraordinary credit of 170,000 f. for the repairs of
the Church of St. Ouen, at Rouen.
The Impartial de la Meurthe announces that the
PRINCE PRESIDENT of the Republic, on the occasion
of the inauguration of the Paris and Strasburg Rail-
way, will pass the night of the 17th at Nancy. All
the towns through which the line passes have eagerly
voted the sums necessary to do honour to the Chief
of the State. The Municipal Council of Nancy has
voted a sum of 10,000 f. The PRINCE PRESIDENT
will be invited to be present at a grand ball at that
place. Fetes are also being organized at Luneville.
The Courrier de Limoges announces that an ad-
dress has been agreed to by the Municipal Council,
to be forwarded to the PRINCE PRESIDENT of the
Republic, inviting him to visit that town during his
journey to the south. The same journal states that%
sum of money has been placed at the disposal of the
Mayor, in order to receive the PRINCE
PRESIDENT
with fitting honour.
The 76th anniversary of the declaration of the
independence of the United States was celebrated
on Saturday by the Americans in Paris, and a
number of their friends, at the Cercle des Deux
Mondes, M. MERY and M. LATOUR St. YEARS
read verses composed in honour of the day, the
former dwelling on the natural beauties of America,
and the latter on the virtues of WASHINGTON.
Afterwards M. SHELTON SANFORD, Secretary of the
American Legation at Paris, pronounced an address,
concluding in these words :-" From the other side
of the Atlantic our menaced country cried to you,
Frenchmen I help I' and yolir assistance was not
wanting-you extended the hand to us, and became
the support of the oppressed. The ties which bind
you to us are indissoluble, for you aided us to break
our chains ! Your ancestors called themselves the
Franks, a word which in their language signified
free; and they so called themselves because they
bad received from heaven a mission of liberty. You
have determined not to degrade that noble name;
you have dreamed of'the enfranchisement of peoples;
and you have contributed to ours. Your intervention
in America forms an epoch in modern history; that
was the first sign of the new spirit, the first step
of the new Revolution, the -first shock of the sub-
lime fluid which enlightens and destroys, the death-
blow of old society. The echo of that blow still
vibrates in every ear ; the soil still trembles beneath
our steps by the shock it produced. Terrible
storms, it is true, followed ; but storms purify the
air; and France has the rare privilege of coming
out of them greater and more brilliant. The
United States, once arrived at independence, no
longer had any enemies to combat, and an era of
prosperity unexampled in the annals of history com-
menced fur them. Their wars have given them peace
-their servitude has secured them liberty-their
misfortunes have brought them a long-continued and
marvellous prosperity. These benefits we owe in
great part to France. We know that, and take
pleasure in repeating it. The friendships which have
gratitude for their basis are the most durable. Thus
the love of the United States for France will be eternal,
and never will the sword of war dare to sever it. Every
day, thanks to steam, the Atlantic becomes narrower,
and our two nations draw nearer to each other;
their relations become more frequent; the exchange
of their productions more active. They are friends,
they are sisters, and at the same time rivals, but there
is nothing hostile in their rivalry : it is a noble
wes_lth,
emu-
lation which has for its object manufactures,
arts, science, and literature-in a word, all that con,-
stitutes the force, the glory, and the power of nations.
The whole proceedings of the day passed over most
pleasantly.
At two o'clock, on Monday, the thermometer
marked in the shade 90.50 of Fahrenheit.
