The Review Of the Polaris Expedition,
by The celebrated DR.. Peterman, Of Gotha,
has been translated into English from Ger.
man under direction Of the Secretary ol the
Navy. The Dr.says, circumstances con.
sidefed, 1t must be conceded that this Is
the most important expedition that ever
went TO the Arctic region. The English

cised freely all other opinions and en-
deayors, they themselves dong nothing

$l6,O0O,O00 by such incurslons. The
amount aas been considerably increased
since the term Of the commission expired.
There is no doubt but that the attention
Of Congress will again be called to this
subject BY the President, with q view to
the protection Of the citizens Of the United
States on the border the demand on
Mexico, to put an end to tho marauding
expeditions, having been unsuccessful.
Gentlemen OF high position say that they
SEQ no remedy for the evil except
10 the acquisition OF q portion
Of northern Mexico commanding both
sides Of the river, and that such scquisi-
