ARRIVAL OF THE RATTLEsNAKE.-
We learn from our Sanfrancisco exchan-
ges, that the British vessel Rattlesnake,
sent out from England about two years
since to search for Sir John Franklin,
arrived at that port on Monday, the 25th
inst. The Rattlesnake was frozen one
winter in Port Clarence, whittier she
was sent as relief to the discovering
ship Enterprise, which arrived at Port
Clarence after an absence ofthree years.
The Enterprise spent her second winter
in the Dease Straits, and her third and
last at Camden Bay, 800 miles eastward
of Point Barrow. The Enterprise had
been frozen in every year ten months
out of twelve, but all enjoyed good
health, having lost only three men dur
ing her absence. Where the Enter
prise first wintered, they met with
harmless and peaceable set of Esqui-
maux, who had never seen white man
before, aud treated them all with kind
ness and courtesy, but could give them
no additional information.
