The whole enterprise according to latest advices from

at much earlier day than has heretofore been antic

The government, from which expected the assist

certain important marine explorations the coast has
most sgnaly failed to respond to tho rcqurem nts OF
charge Of the expedition proceeded thus far without
the aid sought for and granted by Congress Now that
many steamers have been put ont OF commission by

energetic and hardy cXpedltionists.
II may not DO generally known that the expeditionary
corps from San Francisco and which departed from

The third attempt lately mnde 10 connect Europe with
America by telegraph having unfortunately proved
unsuccessful anxious inquiries being made to the
several other schemes in contemplation for the
object The several lines proposed TO connect Europe
with America are:-

Second-Those which the Pacific Ocean.

schemes crossing the Atlantic in various attitudes

advantage OF passing by many important islands and by
