The following are the instructions given by the
Admiralty to Captain Sir Edward Belcher, relative
to the method in which the Arctic search should

be conducted :

Sir,—My Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty have
directed her Majesty's ships Phoenix and Talbpt, under the
orders of Captain Inglefleld, to proceed with provisions and
stores to Beechey Island, for the purpose of replenishing the
ships and depots under your orders ; and lam commanded
by their lordships to acquaint you, that on the return of the
Phoenix. from Beeches, Island last year, they had the satis-
faction of hearing of the safe arrival of her. Ma,esty's ship
Investigator, under the command of Captain M'Clure, at
Banks Land, having completed the discovery of the North
West Passage, though unhappily without discoveringtraces
of Sir john Franklin ; and that part of the crew had been
enabled to reach Captain Rellett's station at Melville
Island. By despatches which they received from Behring's
Straits, they have information that, in August 1851, Cap-
tain Collinson, in her Majesty's ship Enterprise passed the
entrance of the Colville river; and their lordships trust,
by the reports he may have obtained from the natives of
Prince Albert's Land, as well as from the records deposited
by Captain M'Clure on his passage along that shore, that
he may also have been enabled -to reach some harbour on
Banks Land, from whence he has made known his position
either to Captain M'Clure or Captain Kellett.
Their lordshipi have desired me to direct your special
attention to the measures they now require to be adopted
for at once withdrawing, if possible, the whole of the force-
now employed in the search of Sir John Franklin froin
the Polar-Seas. For effecting this object, they refrain from
issuing any positive instructions how you are to act, or
What steps you are to take, as they are aware you must be
entirely guided by the position of the ships, and those vary-
ing circumstances which in that region must influence your
operations ; but their lordships' views may be stated gene-
rally as follows :--
1. If the crews d the Enterprize and Investigator are
at Banks Land, they must,abandon their ships ..; and every
endeavour should be made to get them to Beechey Island,
that they may return to England. If this has already
been effected, and Captain Kellett, with his ships, has re-
turned from Melville Island, you are immediately to pro-
ceed to England with the whole of the ships and their
crews, abandoning all further search for the missing expe-
dition, unless any circumstances (on consultation with the
senior officers of her Majesty's ships) should induce you to
believe that your remaining out another year would tend
to clear up the fate of our missing countrymen. But if
Captain Kellet has been unable to move from his position
at Melville Island, it may he necessary to give orders to
him to abandon the Resolute and Intrepid, and secure his
retreat.to Beechey Island • but as this cannot be accom-
plished this year, you need not detain any officers or men
who may have already reached Beechey Island, but send
them to England forthwith.
2. Should no tidings have beenheard of Capt. Collinson,
in her Majesty's ship Enterprize, it becomes absolutely
necessary to provide for his safety, For this purpose, the
Melville Island Depot must be replenished with provisions
and stores ; and it will he necessary for a ship and steam
tender to remain there, also the North Star or Talbot,
with a tender at Beechey Island, and at those stations every-
thing which can add to the health and comfort of the crews
should be deposited ; and having done this, it does not ap-
pear to their lordships to be necessary that any of the
other ships should remain another year in the Polar Sea,
unless, as before stated, you consider further search to be
prudent and necessary.
These are the views of their lordships ; their great object
being to rocal, with the least possible delay, the whole of
the sips or crews named in the margin,* if it can he done.
If not possible to do so, they lepve it to your judgment and
discretion to send home such of them as may not be required,
and to adopt those measures which you consider most neces-
sary to ensure the safety of Capt. Collinson and his crew,
and their speedy return to England. This their lordships
are aware, must depend on the information you have re-
ceived from Melville Island, the position of the respective
ships under your orders, the state of the depots, &c. All
their lordships can do is to confide in your judgment; and
they authorise you to take such steps, and give suchorders,
and to make such exchanges of officers and men, as you
deem necessary for carrying their wishes into effect.
' They trust, however, Captain Collinson is safe;'and if se,
it will be a source of much satisfaction to them if, during
the approaching auttiran, the whole of your ships and crews
shall arrive in England.
On the return of any of the ships to England from
Beechy Island it is desirable that the coast to the south-
ward of Ponds Bay, namely, from the river Clyde towards
Cape Walsingham, should be examined ; and you are,
therefore, to, endeavour, in your instruction to, the ships
proceeding to England, to meet this contingency.
In the event of your health rendering it necessary for you
to return to England, and the necessity of a part of the
squadron remaining out another winter; you are to make
known to the officer Whom you may appoint to' succeed
you in command all your views and arrangements, respect-
ing further proceedings. '
Althotigh this country is now at war with Russia, you
are clearly to understand that you are not to commit any
hostile act whatever, the ships under your command hav-
ing,been fitted out for the sole purpose of aiding those en-
gage :l in scientific discoveries, and it being the established
practice of all civilised nations to consider vessels so em-
ployed as exempt from the operations of war.—l am, &c.,

THE GIIZIT BRIFAIN. —We have hardly anything
new to communicate to-day in reference to the Great
Britain, save that the removal of the cargo, in order to
lighten her, is proceeding vigorously, without intermis-
sion. We believe that some of the passengers have
availed themselves of the liberal offer of Messrs. Gibbs,
Bright, and Co., and have returned to their former homes
to see their friends, but we have not heard of any in-
stance where a wish has been expressed to leave the
ship, as all seem inclined to wait until she is again ready
to start. We have only again to say, that every care
has been taken of the passengers of all classes.—Liver•
