I 1t is now about four years since Franklin sailed
on his last expedition for the purpose of discover
ing northwest passage TO the Pacific. Two fine
ships. Erebus and Terror, manned with ISO men.
/ we're under his command. Nothing has been heard
from them since the 26ih Of July, lS45; and not
trace has been discovered, although Capt. Frank
/ I'm was ordered 10 throw overheard once every
day, after passing latitude G5, sealed bottle or
copper cylinder containing a paper stating date,
position, &c. Three, expeditions have since been
htted out 10 search for the lost vessels but thew
have been attended with no success. Large re-
WARDS have also been offered in vain by Lady
Franklin and the British Government. for some
clue 10 the position or fate of the Erebus and
Terror. The attempts at discovery ire now be-
ing prosecuted with such diligence that it is hoped
that something definite may be shortly ascertaned
ne Russian Government is making generous eff
ioris with this view; and the large rewards offer
ed 10 individual enterprise a. well as hi, appeal
! OF Lady Franklin TO this Government, NAV in
duce some of the American whalers on the Arctic
coast. of which there are 600, TO make actye
search. II is no, probable, however, that any,
ihlng but some certain evidence Of the loss of the
Franklin expedition will ever be discovered. The
/ ships have now been gone about one wear longer
than the provisions we're expected to last, and the
impossb'lity of Obtaining food u the Arctic seas
as well as The perous vigaton among the ice of
| that region, render ii. even more than probable
that the crews have necessarily perished.
