With reference to the reports of the Esquimaux, none
had been on board Sir James Ross's ships,'.and from the
statement of Captain Kerr, of the Chieftain; Who has
been examined by the Lords of the Admiralty,., it Would
appear that there is a slight discrepaWcy, between his
statement and that of Captain Parker of the Truelove, in-
asmuch as the Esquimaux had not told Celatain Kerihat
they had been on board the ships ; ner in 'the Esquimaux
sketch was there any track from ship tO ship, both of
which were mere inferences, the one frpmthe Esquimaux
having said they were all well, the other frem there being
a line on the sketch, which might be meant fot the bow-
sprit of ono of the ships, or any other long article. It is
yet most probable that the Esquimaux saw Franklin'.
ships go to the westward and Ross's ships pass in; and
indeed the distinction made by the- Esquimaux with re-
spect to the periods of time at which these occurrences
took place, would warrant us in believing that this was ell
the Esquimaux wished to communicate.
From her Majesty's ship Plover nothing has been heard
since her departure from Honolulu, August 25, 1848, but
Captain Kellett would, doubtless, very soon fall in with .
her and give her all the requisite supplies. These ships
were then to push as far north es they could to see for
themselves, or to pick up information from others, and to
deposit deptits of provisions. No one could have shown
more zeal in the work than Captain Kellett on his de-
parture, and the same feeling seemed to animate all his
officers and the ship's company. But, independently
.of
the services of the Herald and Plover on that side, it ap-
pears that numerous American whale-ships had sailed for
those regions (from which it is hoped that Sir John
Franklin may yet burst upon us ride anti sound;) and one
or two other whalers at Honolulu-in May were 'like- .
wise about to start for Bebring's Straits;
.their captains
being aware of the reward offered for Information or dis-
covery, it was made a special request to them that they
should endeavour to earn the reward, endthete is not the
slightest doubt that they will exert their strenuous en-
deavours to obtain intelligence of Siaohn Franklin or any
of his crew. Last year it was all opeii sea in, that quarter,
and we trust to find it is the same thR iiinitiier also.
With respect to Franklin, it is pretty' generally known
that his ships were provisioned for three full years—that
is, from July, 1845; but Sir John Fianklin stated in his
last letters, that he could extend it of four years without
serious inconvenience—that is, up Jo-July last; but if
they were fortunate enough to take any seals and birds,
of which Sir James Ross obtained len ample supply, it
might be said that those provisions could be eked out for
a longer period.
There can be no question in the mind 0 y pet.3on ,
however, that if safe in their ships, Sir John Franklin will
now abandon them, and push for the nearest point whence
he might hope to meet with relief. With respect to the
depots of provisions, Sir James Ross's expedition has left
ample means of support for twelve months, independently
of any supplies from the North Star, should they fall back
to the eastward from Cape Walker, or even from Wel-
lington Straits, should they have gone up there. If they
should have proceeded westward, the next point of suc-
cour is that provided by Dr. Rae, at some northern point
of Wollaston and Victoria Islands. Should they have got
still further to the westward, no doubt Sir John Franklin
would make for the Mackenzie, all along the coast of
which Sir John Franklin would be quite at home,
and where resources are provided by Dr. Richardson's

With the above facts before us we cannot help feeling
it there is still much hope left of the ultimate safety of

" DEI OnAm."—The words Dei Gratia appear for
the first time upon the English money in the reign of
Edward 111. It is remarkable that these emphatical
words should not have obtained a place upon the coins at
a much earlier period, as they are found upon all the
great seals after the reign of William the First. They
were used as early as the latter end of the seventh cen-
tury, by Ina, king of the West Saxons, in the introduc-
