Nissis.sipi. The following is account of the'lndians settled near it, who were so little inclined to credit the news or, the , cegsiow of' Lousiana, that they burnt the letter announcing that fact, and declared their independ ence of 'St. Louis and its styptics (p. 6.) " The Osage River gives or.oives.its name-to 'a nation inhabiting its banks 'at : 4l Considerable distance from this place (its confluence with the Missouri). Their present name, however, 'seems to have originated from the French traders ; fur both among 'themselves and their neighbours they are called the ifirsinuhas. Their number. f; between twelve and thirteen: hundred warriors, • and (t hey) . consist of three tribes : the great Osages, of about 500 warriors, living in a village otr the south bank of the river;--the little Osages, of nearly half that number, residing at the distance of six miles from thetniind the Arkansan band, a colony of Osages-, of. .600 warriors, who left them some years ago under the command of a Chief called the Bigfoot, and .settled on the Vet-- Viltion River, a branch of the Arkansan. In person the Osages arc among the largest and. best formed Indians, and are said to possess fine mili tary capacities ; but 'residing as they do .in vii-. lageS, and having.thadeh-eonsiderable advance in agricultuire, they seem 'less addicted to war than their northern neighliouri, to whom the use of titles gives a great 'superiority. Among the pe culiarities of this people, there is nothing more _ remarkable than time tradition relative to their origin. 'According to universal belief,'the founder of the nation was a Snail, passing a quiet existence along the' banks•of the Osage, till a high flood swept him down to the, Missouri, and left Itim.ex posed on the shore. The heat of the sun at length ripened hint into a man, but, with 'the change of his •nature,./he had not forgotten his. native seats on the Osage,'towards which he immediately bent his way. He was, however, soon overtaken by hunger and fatigue, When happily the Great Spirit appeared, and giving hint a bow and arrow, showed him how to kill and cook deer, and cover 'himself with the skin. He then proceeded to his original residence ; hut as he approached the river he was met by a beaver, 'who inquired haughtily who 'he was, and by what authority he came to disturb his possession. ,The Osage answered, that the river was his own, for he had once lived-on its.borders. As they stood disputing, the (laugh ter of the beaver came; and having by her en treaties reconciled her father' to this - young stranger, it was proposed that the Osage should marry the young heaver, and share with her 1 - a= luny the enjoyment of the river. The Osage readily consented, and from this happy union there soon came the village and the nation of time Wasbasha, or ()sages, who have ever since preserved a pious reverence for their ancestorabstaining from the chase of the beaver, because in 'killing that ani mal they killed a brothe.e of the Osage. Of" late years, however, since the . trade with the Whiths has rendered beaver skins more valuable, the sanctity of these maternal relatives has visibly di minised, and the pair 'annuals have nearly.lost all the privileges of kits t zm • What a tine satire . is this story upon national antiquities and learned inquiries into the fabulous origins of peoples. The descendants of a snail ancl,4l. beaver are not more absurd than many very learned' European hypotheses; and the. ultimate disregard of the Osage , to the consanguinity of their well-furred relatives (the beavers), is only one ,melancholy proof added to many nearer home, of the sacrifice of the 'great duties and dearest affection of life upon the shrine of sordid . interest. The Americans built a factory and fort in 1808, about a fortnight's march higher up the Missouri, convenient for trading with and overawing the Osages, Ayauways, and Kanzas. It is not our intention to follow the Travellers minutely up their course. ,' We lave noticed that they set out .on the 14th of May, and they prd reeded In four or five boats by daily navigation, from 10 to 20 miles a-day up the river. The party consisting of Captains LEWIS (JEFFERSON'S Private Secretary) and-CLARKE, tJ Kentucky Ameri 7 cans, 14 soldiers of the United States, two French waterinen, wit interpreter and hunter, and a bhick .servant belonging to Captain LEWIS.' here were also, at first, another party of a corporal end six soldiers, and 9 waterme►►, to accompany the expedition, as far as the Mandan Nation, in order to assist in carrying the stores, and repel an at tack which was apprehended from the tribes be tween the• Wood rive:. and the Mandans. The Jargest boat was 55 feet long, drew three feet of lvater, with a large square sail, and 22 oars. The others were canoes and penoques. continued.] • • In a pamphlet, l a tely published in, Paris, it is stated that the French ArmV, after the battle Of Leipzig, ,marched ZOO' miles without having their wounds dressed, or receiving any tuedical assis tauee.

MADRID, Auo. 14'.—Armed men, furnished with false passports of the local authorities, are committing excesses in the province of Sala matica. The Government calls the attention of the good. citizens to these dis'orders, and invites them to assist the Officers of ' Justice as far as lies in their power. . , The P - roclaim,ttion of: •Palafox is as remarkable for the arrangement 6 which it contains, a 8 for the manner in which it is drawn up. It is.tfie second in command in the provinceaifArragon who ad dresses the inhahitants, agreeably to the written orders 'M. Palatisx, who is at Madrid, and Whose .decrees are executed at Saraghssa. This proclamation forms an epoch, and seems to be long exclusively to the present period. The French, los 4francessados, or the FrencliVed, the Italiaus, . all foreigners in general, are Obliged to quit Arragon, or are, imprisoned, as a measure of safety ; and this state of things is to continue till the political relations of Spain and France shalt be fixed by the Congress of Vienna. Our Ambassador to the Court of France, the Duke de Ilijar, is still here. Another pamphlet has appeared relative to his Majesty's journey' to Bayonne. It is by M.

The news from the province of the Caracas is very distressing. The disarming of the few ves sels which were ready to sail, .seems to indicate that the liovernment has relinquished its intention of opposing the * innovations of which our Colo= nies are the theatre. Formerly the Peninsula was powerful in its own resources, and. made Europe tremble before the disco Very of•AMesica had added mighty means to those supplied by our soil. These local resources were neglecfed when the treasures of the New World dazzled . the - successors of Charles V.: . We, hope' to recover them 'under the vigotons and enlightened administration of aKing, whose very name is a happy ,omen for. Spain.
