In 1.806 Mr. Jr,Freasot4, the then 'President of the United Statei, delivered to Congress a Mes 'sage, in which he detailed the progress of ,Captains. LEwis and CLARKE, in consequence of their ap pointment in Jan. 1803 to explore, the:Missonri frOtit its mouth to its source, and crossing the highlands by the shortest passage, to seek the hest water communication thence to the Pacific Ocean.• He detailed their entrance into the Mis soari,.May 14, 1804 - , their progress up 'to winter quarters near the - Mandan Towns, 1609 Miles aboVe` the mouth - Ot the river, Nov.

For these, however, otir travellers had not so ninth feeling as for the task olimposing upon . the In dian tribes notions at , the.mighty power and: in fluence of the United, States. Yet, in spite of themselves, notes of admiration are occasionally elicited by the magnificent beauties by which they went-su,rrOunded. The plain and somewhat too iniutit. narrative of daily transactions displays little of Mind ; but, to those who are only de sirous of ascertaining facts from travellers, con veys a great deal of curious and novel informa tion, -In fact, the portion of .the globe here de scribed, was' till now a terra incognita; and though its generaffeatures resemble those of parts of this vast Continent formerly explipred, there are caomr of distinguishing marks to excite much interest, and to satisfy a large share of curiosity'.---To this e ought to add, that there are two maps which afford particular, and we should imagine, as they are laid down from actual observation, accurate ideas, of the topography of the immense tract %iateted by the Missouri. Before we proceed to make our intended ex tracts from so fruitful a source, we-might in per fect good humour notice, that the work has not . been very well ircm;4,2lo. The Yankee gibberish is so unpoliShed and nninclligible, that it would have• been right,,in titeFinglish Editor to -hale taken greater liberties he appears to have done with his original. Had he compressed and altered a little more than he has done, the pub- licatio►t xrould have been bene-itted by it, anti we should not hate tntt with an - abundance of Words. `and phrases which We really do not understand; such as prairies, portages, prairie-olves, bayous, bluffs, ovate forms, gigtish, &c. • &e, Neither would we have been offended with a general looseneSs of style, the substitution of singu lars for plurals; and plurals, for singulars, and all the reins sirens of American litera- t►ue. There are One or two other points which the slihr.df the English Editor alight have amended, but pi-obeilt he Was restrained, by 'weighty nntsons, frginllnterfering with either the Manner or matter of the narrative. Like CooKE's Life, 'by another Transatlantic Author, there is a good deal too much of the daily adventures ; how many buffaloes shot,,,houf, many fish caught, or wolves or squirrels seen ; •and though the real in forination is, at the saute time, highly valuable, we should be happy to acquire it at a less price. Tire American Captains appear 'to he mainly ,ig-. norant of botany, chemistry, iiiiineralOgy, and ge ology. We greatly miss the Linnean and scienti fic names cif the.vegetable productions which they mention, and their errors, ins mistaking talc for quartz,--;-their 'blunders, abthit :carbonated wood, &c. render the little stated on the mineral and che mical world very unsatisfactory'. We should also have rejoiced had they been .further communica-- tive on the natitraVhistory of the numberless ani mals which passed in'review before them. They eugtet to have‘recollected,•that though familiar to them, some hecottnts of the. variety of elk, deer, nniledeer, billtal6es, beavers, goats, wolves, cat fish; barking squirrels; &c. would have been highly gratifying to their readeri. It is but justice, howeVer, to remark, that as this Journey was undertaken with different and political views., we have no right to complain 'of its wanting those. thinga which .ordinary travel lers,• whO write to amuse the world, .and. not to inform a Government, are so prone to enlarge upon. • On the contrary, we have reason to be satisfied with the number of new facts, and the (im i ut i tv „,f e xcellent,ioformati on , which are.here prodisced.l;AbUtithlt r k; i s , perhaps, more cause for this feeling Allan' for complaints of 'barrenueSs; (though grumbling is .a Critic's privilege), our licaaerS maliprOballiy be convinced by t h e en _ suing . e - xtracts.

The arrival of Lord Lyneciock on the banks of the Maese seems connected these Measures which are highly-important to our Country... l :The 4 Dutch wirriso' n of Namure is to be strengthened, as the Belgian jßegiment that is-organised there, is soon to go to Termonde.

General Evers, one of the best Generals of Cavalry in the French service, will enter into the service of Belgium, his native coun try. Since the Decree of the Prince Sovereign is known, the number of Belgian Officers leaving the French service increases daily. *, Bttusser,s, AUG. 23,L. , -Lord Castlereagh has: Oaken up his residence at the hotel of Lord Lyne dock. It seems certain, that since his Lordship had a conference with the AmeriCan-Ambassador§ at Ghent, many difficulties in the way of the Ne gociation have been removed, so that a happy . issue•may be expected.

" Lord CASTLERBAGII, the Earl of CLANCARTY, the Duke of CAMBLUDGE, and the Prince of ORANGE, are here. They were all on Sunday in the usual promenade belonging to this city, called L' "like vert, and then they visited, the Chateau de Luken, about two miles front here, which . . place vre also have examined. I had the honour of being in the bed-room in which NArotEoN has slept four nights, but the bed is removed. That, however,. in which MARIA. LOUISA has reposed. still remains. This Chteau is, as you may well suppose, most superbly furnished but there are L here neither statues nor picturet. The‘gardens LONDON, frEDNESDA AUGUST 31, 18(4. A Dutch'. Mail, which arrived s this, morning, brings' authentic information from Ghent to the 23d, at . Which period the Negoeilltions, relic:wed after the arrival of,a Courier_froqi.:London, arc represented as proceeding with augmented acti vity. 'On the 21st Mr. DALLAS set out to the Texel. tAi sail with dispatches for, his. C overnment. Independent of these accounts, there are, how ever, a multitude of private 'advices iu town, which are to be received with the utmost caution, • as metcantile speculation is keenly on foot, to gamble and make or take advantage of every ru mour that can obtain an,hour's belief. These adviccs pretend to be of the 25th and 26th, and, in the face of the Dutch Mail of the 22d, they assert, that the Negociations terminated on - the 25th, by the declaration of the American Com . missionerg that the terms proposed by the British Government %Jere inadmissible. Upon this sub- . ject a Morning Paper subjoins the following no- tice, which, it well-founded, is about as deep a stain upon even the American character as could be superadded to its notorious celebrity for want of honour and principle : It was on the' next day, the 26th, that people connected with the American Commissioners, and who had left Ghent before the delivery of the final declaration, were seen buying Up cottons, &c. in London, with the knowledge of the unfor tunate issue of the Negociations. On the 27th, similar *pc culationsWere entered into by people similarly situated at Liverpool." These parties may nevertheless be only prac; • tising nn imposition, and, by a semblance of anxious purchasing, raise the price - of articles which they have to sell. We do not presume to dive Into the i4fainotts mysteries of the. Market. Another Morning Paper,states, that an Agent of the American Commissioners was about to,pro ceed to London, to obtain from the British Go vernment . the grant of the privileges .of a Cartel ' or the ..V‘plivie, in order that tile Ne . l 4 ` 4 / . r Witgllt return in her t'd Atner'ca I),T ‘vov “ f.
