TIE RES9LUTE. - &
The London Leader thus comments ;uuenS
the late restoration Of this vessel by soufss so,uf
government: --ss .ya
The " ":REsoLurE. One of %h, ha,,d-s:
soonest presents which was ever made Bys
the country to another has just arrived from:
across the Atlantic. 1t is the British dis.
covery bsrque Rssolute, which went out s
under Capt Kellct to assist in the search {
for Sir John Franklin and which is now
coming back as present from the. Unitad,.;
States to England. Every body remembers;
now the vessel was abandoned by order Of y
he commander Of the expedition. From
her station i'll the Arctic regions she drifted,
among the ccbergs 4,2O0 miles, and was g ]
found several months back, by an Ameri-
can whaling crew, belonging to New London. I.
i'll Connecticut. The shi had been DISTINCT :.
ly abandoned, the English governments
waived all claim to the vessel, and she was &;
now the private property of the crew. Thesss
American government showed stronger. (.
appreciation of this interesting relic than
our own had exhibited. The two Houses &
OF Congress united in joint resolution, 70
ling forty thousand dollars to purchase the q
vessel OF the crew who found it, and to &
present it to the English government as q
token Of the friendly feelings entertained by.S
that country ior our own. This exactly fol-
lowed out the whole course of events in !:
which the Resoluts had figured. The search B
expedition fell under the command as.a1ull
Fyng it forward; who appeared to feel il q
some degree jealousy Of the greater zeal, =
perhaps the greater success, of the officers =
under him. Against the opinionzsof tho )
others, he caused the barque to be abandon. 4;
ID and the government completed it's /
abandonment. No sooner had the search
for Sir John Franklin been announced, than !
t was manned by volunteers; and the 81
American government spontaneously &C:
assist in the search The ship which was !.
abandoned by an order Of Sir Edward Bel,
cher was found by Americans, and reclaim
ID by the American government. Nor did
the American government stop short at the =,
mere return Of the ship as it foatcd. In
the words of the New York Times, she has
been repaired and fitted with the utmost
care at the expense of our government, with
the design of restoring her to the Queen in
ut least as good condition as she was in at
the time the exigencics of their situation
compelled her crew to abandon her. The
vessel, thus renovated, has been placed in
the charge of Capt. II. J. Hartstein, one of
the officers of the late Arctic expedition,
who has brought her to Portsmouth. 1t
appears to us that the ship has thus acquired
value which it did not possess when it ;.
first left the builders hands. Every sword,
every telescope, every quadrant, has gained
something more precious than q covering Of
gold, in the friendly care which has been
bestowed upon it. Nothing can have been
more handsome than the whole conduct Of
the American government. from first to last >
but most especially III the graceful attention
to small details. Will not the American
officers he welcomed? OF course they will.
A right hearty English Christmas welcome
will be given to Capt Hartstcin. his officers
and his crew, by every Englishrnan, ay, and
every EngIishman. that can win the, pres
cnce of the visitors by the most cordial Of
hospitahtics.
