A telegram with the news of your generous
provision received. Before It's receipt had sent

Ask lAe Prussian Government to direct that yes.
sels of her flag keep friendly lookout on the
Siberian coast for the steamer Jesnutt g, tled for
Arctic exploration by the muuihcence of James
Gordon Benz EFT. No disaster TO her is reported,
but watchtulness is deemed wise precaution,
which this Government desires to invoke.
THE ENGLISH PRESS.
LONDON. Dec. % The London Daily Tele-
graph has an editorial ON the Jeanette,
from which the following are extracts:
Every generous heart and cultivated mind
must have experienced at the moment great
satisfaction when the news arrived that the
whereabouts of the Jeanette were known.
But just as great will be the disappointment
10 hear the American exploring vessel has
been deserted and only portion of the gal
liant crew brought back the painful tidings
OF her fate.
Assistance no doubt has been sent in
their direction by the Russian authorities
and natives, but we may too surely hear a
cruel account of their experiences even if
any OF the missing party be recovered alive" +"
The best that can be expected is that the
greater portion of the brave and skillful
crew put on board the Jeanette will be
saved, while, as the case may be- if the ship
has achieved any discoveries of importance
they will have been purchased at bitter
price. The story of the Jeanne tie, which is
sure to reflect glory on the American flag
and the honor and enterprise of the Amer
ican press will not be buried in the myster-
les of the still invisible pole"
But what occupies all generous minds at
present is the thought of the sufferings
which must have been borne by those gal
liant men who strOve so long and so hard 10
win the scientific distinction which was the
object of this enterprising patron"
The writer concludes as follows: "While
the journalistic enterprise which has given
science such splendid gifts in our day, can
display this energy and liberality it would
| be simply disgraoeful were the Government
of Great Britain to allow one of the most
gallant of British discOverers to perish fol
want of o vote of money, which the House
| of Commons would so cheerfully grant.
"If the failure OF theAmencan expedition
leaves the blue riband of the Artic circle
| still prize for the boldest and luckiest flag
the free expenditure of funds by this Ameri
can editor in the cause of geographical
science forbids Her Majesty's Cabinet tC
show themselves parsimonous."
