The men Of the expedition will also bc entertained
as dinner before they start b. the corporation Of
Portsmouth.
Capt Mares has, II addition delivered several lee
fires both NJ Portsmouth and al Winchester, on the
subject OF the expedition and Of Arctic travel all Of
which have been LARGELY attended and well received.
The ships will leave Portsmouth llarbor on Satur-
day next aud before this reaches you they will DO
already on thcir voyage. There viii be no calling at
any port ill the Island OF Disco is reached, and tho
full complement of the will be AL on board be
fore tie departure OF The vessels. They will sail down
the Channel and round tho West Ccaso OF Ireland
into tho Atlantic Thence they will make direct for
Disco, where the ValorOus will rerlenish the stores
which have been usel on the voyage ~ far, and the
oxpcdi,nary ships will take in some OF their dogs
and few men TO set as driven. The news brought
Ivy the Vlorous win be the last that will BE- heard
for many u long month from tho expedition IL -
deyontly 10 be hoped that tho great expectations
which AZ INDUCED in of success, whether by the
officers and crew or the British public. viii be amply
realized. If any expedition deserved success this
does and as Capt Mares has moro than once said IN
public IL they do not succeed IL VIII be from no fault
Of theirs no want IF daring or perseverance on the
narL of either officers or men.
