The New Arctic Expedition.

Capt McClintock, the commander of the new
expedition in search Of what may he learned of
Sir John Franklin, has written letter, which
's published i'll the English papers. giving some
Interesting particulars of the proposed enter
prise. We make the following extracts:
Il intend to sail about the end Of June, from
Aberdeen, and proceed to Barrow Strait; ascer.
tain that the provisions, stores and boat left at
Port Leopold and Beechey Island by the recent
searching expedition are i'll good order, in the
event Of my having to fall back upon them :;
examine the state Of the ice in Peel Strait and
ifpracticable. proceed down it into the un-
known area. Should not succeed here, I in.
tend TO return to Port Leopold. and proceed
down Prince Regents Inlet to Bellot Strait,
and there make another attempt to pass into
and through the field of search to Victoria
Land, where shall winter, and in the ensuing
spring, before the tlaw sets in, complete the
entire exploration and search by means Of
sledges dawn ty men and by dogs
"!n endeavoring to reach Victoria Land, it is
my intention to avoid, if possible, any risk of
becoming involved in the ice ; and, should not
succeed i'll reaching Victoria Land, will return
to Bellot Strait to pass the winter, as we know
by experience that the retreat of the ship from
there amounts almost to a certainty. From
Victoria Land the home ward voyage is equally
certain, but by wny of Dehring Straits.

tendency to remove the msnyspernicious prac.

of Wednesday says:
A European officer. apparently Of a very su.
perior military education, is now actively en-.
gagged in different States of the Union, in en-
listing officers for some unknown military Pur
pose. Only officers Of artillery and engineers
able to direct the construction Of fortitications
are wanted. These enlistments are made with
the ostensible design of forming standing
army in Central America and putting that
country in on efficient state of defence against
any future attack of filibusters. According to
statements made in connection with these pro
ceedings. the five Republics of Central America
are to be transformed into one monarchy. The
plan is to be carried out with the aid Of polit-
cal party in Mexico. and the landing of a mill
tary force is to be effected in one Of the ports
on the Mexican coast south of Coatzacoalcos
The whole intrigue may be in connection with
the movements of Santa Anna, though it would
appear that the immediate destination of the
officers to be enlisted is really Central America,
as it is known that the individual engaged in
enlisting them has lately made q tour through
the State of Guatemala.
