THE NEW ARCTIC EXPEDITION.

Capt. McCiintock, the commander of the
new expedition in search of what may be
| learned of Sir John Franklin, has written a
| letter, which is published in the English
papers, giving some interesting particulars
| of the proposed enterprise. We make the
following extracts:
Il intend to sail about the end of June,
from Aberdeen, and proceed to Barrow
Strait ascertain that the provisions, stores
and boats left at Port Leopold and Beechey
Island by the recent searching expedition
are in good order, in the event of my hav-
ing to fall back upon them; examine the
state of the ice in Peel Strait, and, if prac-
ticable, proceed down it into the un-
known area. Should not succeed here,
| intend to return to Port Leopold, and
proceed down Prince Regents Inlet to
Belot Strait, and there make another at
tempt to pass into and through the field OF
search to Victoria Land, where | shall
winter, and in the ensuing spring, before
the thaw sets in, complete the entire explOr-
alton and search by means of sledges drawn
by men and by dogs.
In endeavoring to reach Victoria Land,
it is my intention to avoid, if possible, any
risk of becoming involved in the ice; and,
should I not succeed in 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 homeward voyage is equally certain
but by way OF Behring Straits.
| The means Of accomplishing Lady Frank
