LANDING OF THE FRENCH IN THE CRMEA-A
little after 7, a French boat, containing Is or Is
men, pulled quietly to the beach, and landed her
crew, who advanced short distance and CON-
menced digging hole. Presently the anxious
spectators from the ships saw flagstaff raised
and the tri-coor run up! Immediately the
French Admiral fired gun-boats dashed out
from every one of the French ships, and in 81
minutes they had landed 1000 men! The
French were thus the first to take possession OF
the Crimea. The instant the French had land
ed regiment a company was pushed on to re-
connoitre, and skirmishers or pickets were sent
on in front. AS each regiment followed in col
umn, its predecessors deployed-extended front
and advanced in light marching order, en- Ifr-
alleur spreading out like q FAM over the plains.
1t was interesting to observe their progress, and
to note the rapid manner in which they appro-
prated the SOIL In one hour after their first
detachment had landed, 5000 troops, Of all arms
were on shore, and their advanced posts were
family observable between three and four miles
from the beach. The French had in all $4,000
men.

SIR JOHN FRANKLIN FOUND!
MONTREAL. Oct. 81. 1854


The Herald of this morning has the follow
ing: In our extra of yesterday evening we in
formed the public that rumor was current,
that the remains of Sir John Franklin and his
crew and their ships had been discovered. we
immediately dispatched special messenger to
the Hudson Bay Company's house at Lachlne,
and through the kindness Of the Governor, Sir
George Simpson, we are enabled to lay before
our readers the following outlines of a despatch
received by him yesterday from DIR. Rae, who
has been absent on cruise since the lst OF the
month of June 1853, and returned to York fac
tory on the 28th of August last, whence he for
warded letters by express to Sir Geo. Simpson
via the Red River settlement
After briefly noticing the result of his own ex-
pedition and the difficulties with which they had
to contend, he proceeds to state that from the
Esoumaux he has obtained certain information
of the fate of Sir John Franklin and his crew,
who had been starved to death after the loss OF
their ships, which were crushed in the ice while
making their way south to the Great Fish River
of Buck, near the outlet of which party OF
whites died, leaving accounts OF their sufterlngs
in the mutilated corpses of some who had evil
IDENTIFY furnished food to their unfortunate COM
panons.
This information was not derived from the
Esouimaux who had communicated with the
whites, and who had found their remains, bat
from another band who had obtained the details
from them. No doubt, however, is left of the
truth of the report as the natives had in their
possession various articles of European manu-
facture, which had been in the possession OF
the whites. Among them are silver spoons,
forks, &C., on one of which is engraved "Sir
John Franklin, X. C. b. while others have
crests on them which identify their owners
as having belonged to the ill.fated expedition.
Drawings of some of the things have been sent
down.
This fearful tragedy must have occurred as
long ago as the spring of 1850.
