The attention of this government having been re-
Gently invited by Lady Jane Franklin to the subject
the expedition consisting Of two ships under the
mand Of Sir John Franklin and Captain Crozer fitted
out in 1s45 by Her Brittanic Mestys government for
the discovery Of the Northwest passage the At
antic and Pacific Oceans the President of United
States has after mature reflection determined to pre-
pare and dispatch without unnecessary delay two
tonal vessels to seek for tnd relieve those discovery
ships failing in this purpose to endeavor to asccr
tain their fate Strongly interested in the subject by
the eloquent appeal in behalf of Sir John Franklin and
his companions, and mpelled by motives Of sympathy
and humanity, We confidently anticipate that the
adoption Of the by the President will strike
responsive chord in the bosom Of every American cti
zen, and be hailed with general appreciation.
Aside from the inducement presented by the British
Admiralty in the offer Of liberal reward of twenty
thousand pounds sterling to any ship ships of any
country or to any exploring party whatever who shall
render efficient assistance to the missing vessels or
their crews any portion Of them, it is doubted
that ncrvcd by the nobest motives, the navigating
interests Of the United States and especially
whacrs both in the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans will
eagerly enter into generous competition with those
Of other nations and lend their best energies to
relief to the adventurous British mariners who have
thus periled their lives among the icebergs Of the
Forth in cndsayoring to solve problem which Has
centuries baflcd the enterprise and science of the

which now run from the interior the Lakes and St.
Lawrence, in Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsy lvania New

fence of the Canadian frontier than all the forts which
eould be constructed Yet to give dollar to the
sruclion of these would have been unconstitutional But
this zeal for system ofertelna improvement with these
very consistent gentlemen comes too late The Govern

Government grant the privilege Of building the road to
ours-however necessary may deemit to the defence
