AN ACCOUNT
OF A
VOYAGE
UP THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER,
From St. Louis to its source; made under the order of the War Department, by lieut. PIKE of the United States army, in the years 1805 and 1806. Compiled from Mr. PIKE's Journal."
[This interesting tract was intended to be communicated to congress at their last session; but was not printed for distribution till after they rose. We are satisfied that we shall gratify the literary curiosity of the public by laying before them copious extracts from it.]
"On the 9th day of August, 1805, the exploring party, consisting of lieut. Pike, one sergeant, two corporals, and seven privates, left their encampment near St. Louis in a keel boat, seventy feet long, provisioned for four months; in order to make a survey of the river Mississippi to its source."
"The river Mississippi makes a remarkable bend immediately above the mouth of the Missouri; and, where it receives the waters of the Illinois, that river might be mistaken for a branch or part of the principal stream. The land on the east side appears hilly, rocky and barren; the opposite side is low and flat, over which the Sioux passage passes between the Mississippi & the Missouri rivers. Near the mouth of the Illinois river is the Big Cape; above it the river turns to the southward in order to pass round some rocky hills, or a bluff, one hundred feet in height, beyond which it has a north westerly direction to the mouth of Buffalo or Boeuf river, running in from the west. Five miles farther, on the eastern side, is a beautiful cedar cliff; above which the river is nearly two miles in width. Some islands, which occur at this place, having their lower ends nearly in a line, received from the party the appellation of the Four Brothers. The first hills which appear on the west side, are some distance below Salt river; the land on that side, from Boeuf river, changes its quality from low and rich, with cotton wood growing thereon, to a light soil, as it approaches the hills. On the other side a handsome rocky bluff had been passed, and high lands are observable back from the river."
"Salt river is a considerable stream, and in high water is navigable for boats at least 200 miles above its mouth."
"About 150 miles from the Missouri is the house of a French settler situated on the west side of the river, opposite to Hurricane island. His cattle appeared in fine order, but his corn-fields were badly cultivated. A mile above this house there is a beautiful hill, level on the top, with an easy ascent on each side, and a fountain of fine water. Five miles from the Hurricane settlement, Jauflione creek falls in from the west; and about 20 miles farther, two rivers on the same side; the northernmost of which is the Wayaconda, 100 yards in width. The Mississippi is here a mile and a half wide. Several islands present themselves immediately above this place. 75 miles above the Frenchman's, and 232 from the Missouri, the riviere des Moines comes in from the north west. The width of the Mississippi is here three fourths of a mile."
"Immediately above the confluence of the riviere de Moines with the Mississippi, the falls, or rapids of that name commence. These rapids extend eleven miles up the river, are formed by successive ledges, or shoals, which cross its bed. The first fall is the most difficult to ascend; the channel, which is a bad one, is on the east side at the two first falls, after which, it crosses to the west, and continues near that shore to the Sac village. Here the U. S. have an agent (Mr. William Ewing) appointed to instruct this nation in agriculture. The country on both sides of the river at these rapids is hilly, but the soil is rich. This establishment is in lat. 30 deg. 32 min. north."
"The lead mines which belong to Mon. Dubuque, are on the west side of the Mississippi, about 120 miles above the first village of the Foxes. The dwelling house of the proprietor is near the Mississippi, but the mines are about six miles from it, in a south west direction. Indisposition prevented Mr. Pike from visiting these mines, as he had proposed."
"Near the mouth of the Turkey river, on which another village of the Fox Indians is situated, the exploring party of the U. S. met a war party of Indians, consisting of Sacs, Reynards and Puants, returning. They appeared anxious to avoid the Americans: indeed great pains seem to
have been taken to impress on the minds of all the Indians in this quarter, that we are a vindictive, ferocious and warlike people. Although these impressions seem to have been made with evil intentions towards us, they will have a contrary effect when the Indians find our conduct towards them to be magnanimous and just; reverence will then be joined with fear, in estimating the American character. These Indians stated, that they had been as high as lake Pepin, without effecting any thing."
"The mouth of the Ouisconsin river, which enters the Mississippi from the east, is in lat. 43 deg. 44 min. 8 sec. N. In the fork made by these rivers, and above the Ouisconsin, is the prairie des Chiens, backed by a high ridge of hills. Gayard and Yellow rivers enter the Mississippi on the west side opposite to this prairie."
"At the village of the prairie des Chiens the exploring party were received with attention by capt. Fisher and Mr. Frazar. Accompanied by judge Fisher, Mr. Frazar and Mr. Wood, lieutenant Pike ascended the hill on the side of the Mississippi, and made choice of an eligible site for a fort; it was level on the top, had a spring in the rear, and commanded a view of the surrounding country."
"While encamped about five miles below the river Iowa, on the tenth of Sept. Le Feuille, chief of the Sioux, and the same they had met at the village of the prairie des Chiens, who reside on this river sent six of his young men to inform Mr. Pike that "he waited three days with meat, &c. but that last night his people had began to drink, that on the next day he would meet him with his people." Mr. Frazar and one of the interpreters returned with an answer to the Indians, "that if the weather permitted the party must pass on as the season was far advanced."
"Mr. Frazar on his return stated, that the chief acquiesced in the reason for proceeding; but had prepared a pipe, instead of a letter, to present to Mr. Pike that he might shew it to all the other bands of the Sioux above, with a message to inform them of his being a chief of his new father, and that he wished him to be treated with friendship and respect. When the party arrived opposite to the lodges, the Indians were paraded on the bank with their guns; they fired a salute with what might be termed three rounds of ball; it was returned from the boats. This mode of saluting might have been less agreeable to others, than to soldiers, as the Indians had been drinking, and seemed desirous of seeing how near they could shoot to the boats without injuring them. Mr. Pike went ashore, armed with pistols, and his sword in order, to accompany the chief; but as a mark of confidence in the Indians, he caused such of his party as accompanied him to leave their arms behind where centinels were placed to guard the boats. At the lodge of the chief, he found a clean mat and pillow to sit upon; the pipe was laid before him on crutches while the chief placed himself on the right hand, and the interpreter with Mr. Frazar on the left. After smoking the chief addressed Mr. Pike nearly as follows: Notwithstanding I saw you at the prairie, I am happy to take you by the hand among my own people, and let my young men see the respect due to their new father. When at St. Lewis in the Spring, my father told me If I looked down the river I should see one of his young warriors coming up. I now find it true, and am happy to find one who knows that the Great Spirit is the father of all, both the white and the red people! If one die the other cannot live long! I have never been at war with our new father: and hope always to preserve the same good understanding with him that now exists. I now present you with a pipe to shew to the upper bands, in token of our good understanding, that they may see my work, and imitate my conduct to you."
"I went to St. Louis on a shameful visit; to carry a murderer. You gave the man his life: I am thankful for it. I have provided something for you to eat; but, perhaps you cannot eat it: if so, give it to your young men."
"To this speech Mr. Pike replied, "that although at the prairie he told the chief his business up the Mississippi, he would again relate it." He then stated the objects to which his attention was directed, with regard to the Indians, who had by the cession of Louisiana by Spain, come under the care of the U. S. the different posts proposed to be established for supplying them with necessaries, where the agents of government might hear and attend to their wants, and endeavor to make peace between the Sioux and the Sauteurs. And, that it was probable, on his return, he should have
some of the Sauteurs with him, and would also take some of their chiefs to St. Louis, where they might settle the differences existing between their nations, and put an end to their long and bloody wars. He accepted the pipe with pleasure, as the gift of a great man* and a brother: that it should be as he wished."
"Mr. Pike then partook of the dinner which was provided for him, consisting of wild rye and venison, and sent four large bowls of it to the men who accompanied him. After dinner he went to see one of their dances. It was a curious performance. The men and women danced indiscriminately. They were all dressed in the gayest manner; each of them holding a small skin of some kind in their hands. They frequently ran up to, pointed their skin, and puffed with their breath, or blew at each other. The person thus blown on, whether man or woman, would instantly fall, and appear almost lifeless, or in great agony; would recover slowly, rise, and again join in the dance. This is called their great medicine; or as Mr. Pike construes the word, the dance of religion. The bystanders actually believe, that something is puffed or blown into each other's body, which produces the falling and other effects which take place. All the Indians are not of the initiated. They must first make presents of forty or fifty dollars value to the society, and give a feast, when they are admitted with great ceremony. Mr. Frazar said he was once in a lodge with some young men, when one of these dancers entered; they immediately threw their blankets over him, and forced him out — On his laughing at them the young Indians called him a fool, and said he did not know what the dancer could blow into his body!"
"Opposite to Root river they passed the prairie la Crosse, so called from a game of ball played frequently upon it by the Sioux Indians. This is a handsome prairie, and has a small square hill upon it similar to those mentioned by Carver. Its rear is bounded by hills in the same manner as the prairie des Chiens. On this prairie there are holes dug by the Sioux, when in expectation of an attack; in which they first put their women and children, and afterwards crawl themselves. These holes are generally round and about ten feet in diameter; but some are half moons, and quite a breastwork. — The latter are the chief's work, and the principal redoubts. — The manner of constructing them is this: The moment they apprehend or discover an enemy, they commence digging with their knives, tomahawks and a wooden ladle; and in an incredible short space of time will make a hole sufficiently deep to secure themselves and family from the balls or arrows of the enemy. The Indians have no idea of taking these subterraneous redoubts by storm, as many men might be lost in the attack, which even if successful would be considered an imprudent act."
(To be continued.)
* He is chief of four bands.
PARIS, February 7.
On Thursday last, 5th Feb., at one o'clock, precisely, the different corps of the state were admitted to the audience of her majesty, the empress and queen.
Mr. Defermont, in the name of the council of state, addressed her majesty to the following effect:
"Madam,
"The tender solicitude of your majesty, for the august emperor, whose preservation is the object of all our wishes, led you to approach the theatre of his immortal exploits; your return to the centre of the empire is a sure guarantee to us that, if some enemies are still to be fought, they ought to afford you no motives for uneasiness: How consolatory, Madam, is this idea for our hearts! It would be impossible for us to express the sentiments of admiration and gratitude, with which we are inspired by the triumphs of the armies led on by their invincible chief. We entertain no doubt that a longer resistance will only serve to prepare new ones; that victory will make the voice of reason be heard in the councils of our enemies, and that the Great Napoleon will shortly come to join your majesty, to enjoy his glory, and the happiness of Frenchmen. Vouchsafe to accept, Madam, the sentiments expressed to you, by the council of state, and receive with kindness our congratulations, vows, and homages."
The President of the legislative body, attended by the Questors to whom were united the members of this body now in Paris, expressed himself in these terms.
"Madam,
"The half of our wishes are fulfilled. The presence of your majesty will make us wait with less impatience for another return which all Frenchmen desire with us. The bravest of all people are sometimes tempted to complain that they have too much glory, when
that they are separate from the monarch of whom this glory is the work. But he respects great designs, and confides without murmuring and disquietude, in that powerful hand which can overturn and raise up every thing; which, in so few days, destroyed the monarchy of Frederick the Great, carried terror to the frontier of the vast empire of the Czars, restored hope to Poland, and energy to the Ottoman empire. Whilst the high conceptions of policy are executed at such a distance from us, by the genius of victory, we may at least express to your majesty the admiration to which they have given rise throughout France. That mind, which must enjoy with so much warmth the triumphs of the victor, deigns to answer ours, and Paris consoles herself for not yet seeing the august chief who bestows so much glory on the throne; since he perceives in you, her who always leads so many charms, mildness and beneficence to power."
Mr. Fabre (de l'Aude) president of the tribune, said:
"Madam,
"Your majesty's return has excited the warmest joy: the recollection of this delicate kindness, which softens so many pains, of this active beneficence, which repairs so many misfortunes, is engraved on every heart."
"Every one says to himself: Providence, by giving us the hero whose last designs are crowned with the most constant and rapid success, has resolved that its benefit should be entire; it has placed near him her who is always the first thought of suffering minds, the mildest recollection of grateful hearts whom all France has named the friend of misfortune."
Mr. Moraine, counsellor of state, president of the court of cassation; Mr. Segnier, first president of the court of appeals; Mr. Hamet, first president of the court of criminal justice; Mr. Lejeas, first vicar general, and president of the chapter of Notre-dame at the head of the clergy of Paris, in consequence of the indisposition of H. E. the cardinal archbishop; Mr. Briere de Surgy, president of the members of the national auditorship; general Junot, governor of Paris, presenting the municipal body and council general of the department; and the prefect counsellor of state; and general Junot, at the head of the officers of the government were afterwards admitted to an audience with her majesty. We are sorry that the press of other matter prevents us from giving the speeches delivered on this occasion, all of which breathed the purest respect, love and gratitude.
Her majesty the empress and queen answered all the speeches which were addressed to her, with that constant benevolence which characterises her, and that affecting affability which is natural to her. We could wish to be able to collect and repeat here the liberal expressions of all those answers; but it being impossible to find them all, such as they came from the mouth of her majesty, we are forced to confine ourselves to repeating in substance what has been remembered of some of them.
Her majesty, addressing herself to the president of the senate, said, I am sensibly touched with the sentiments that have just been expressed to me in the name of the senate. In the sorrow I feel at being far from the emperor, it is a pleasure to me to find in the first body of the state the same regret of his absence and the same devotion to his person.
Her majesty in like manner thanked the president of the council of state for the sentiments he had just expressed. These sentiments, said she, are the more agreeable to me, as I consider them as a pledge of that attachment which the emperor feels a pleasure in perceiving in each of the members who compose his council of state.
Her majesty, answering the deputation of the city of Paris, said,
Mr. President, I am sensible of what you have just said to me in the name of the city of Paris. Accustomed to share all the sentiments of the emperor, you ought not to doubt of the satisfaction which I experience at finding myself again within the walls of a city, which he himself is pleased to call his good city of Paris.
Her majesty afterwards received the diplomatic corps, introduced by Mr. de Beaumont, one of her chamberlains.
February 24.
Since the Russians have unveiled their designs upon Turkey, all states are interested in opposing their progress. England herself does not perhaps see without uneasiness, the fatal consequences of a system which her dangerous allies have just displayed; for, if it be easy to perceive what France would lose by the Russians becoming masters of Constantinople, it is not less frightful for her to look forward to the changes which this great

rotation would bring about in the continental and maritime system of Europe; accordingly, nothing announces that England is fully decided to co-operate on the destruction of Turkey, and whilst the Russian armies are pursuing the course of their usurpations over the provinces of that empire, admiral Louis remains a quiet spectator of them before Constantinople, waiting, no doubt, for new instructions for an unforeseen circumstance, so evidently fatal to the interests of England. But of all the powers interested in preventing the destruction of Turkey, Austria is the one whose political existence would be soonest menaced by this catastrophe.
Let us try to set forth this truth, already demonstrated in the eyes of all enlightened politicians. After fifteen years of an unsuccessful war against France, the house of Austria at least retained an independent existence, all her hereditary possessions and political interests less compensated. Surrounded on the west by states comparatively less feeble, all Germany served her as a barrier against France, with whom she no longer had any point of contact, or any motive of discussion. Her relative duties as chief of the empire, which had raised against her so many wars, no longer existed for her; the source of her jealousies and disputes with France, was dried up; if she had lost any thing in surface, she had gained in concentration and safety; she no longer extended her arms over all Germany, she had a more monarchical power, more compact, and more real; she no longer had to shed her blood for foreign quarrels, and in the one which France is now maintaining against Russia, the natural enemy of Austria, our successes may be productive of numberless advantages to her. Separated from France by an immense interval, if in like manner she remained separated from Russia by such a barrier as Turkey, nothing more would remain to disturb her repose and prosperity. For this long time past, the Ottoman Porte, far from being formidable to her, was a solid barrier between Europe and Asia.
Joseph II. was wanting in sound policy when he made war against that power essentially inoffensive. He yielded unknown to himself the influence of Russia, who was to reap all the fruits of the victory, on whatever side it should declare itself. The Porte and Austria had from that moment interests and dangers common to them both. Ancient prejudices and old hatreds have for a long time misled the Austrian cabinet. It was by turns made to fear Turkey, France and Prussia. Hence proceeded that false direction which made it co-operate in the destruction of the equilibrium of Europe. In accepting a portion in the dismemberment of Poland, which they did not will for, the sovereigns of the house of Austria began to shake the barrier which secured them from Barbarians; the desire of having a portion of that salutary barrier exposed them to lose what they possessed.
But the danger is become much more imminent since Russia, affecting an instant protection over all the rebels who wish to withdraw themselves from the authority of the Ottoman Porte has openly avowed her designs upon Wallachia and Moldavia, Servia and the Morea. This exactly a line geographically drawn around the northern, eastern and southern possessions of Austria; and Russia, thus taking possession of her frontier would need no more than time and opportunity to devour her! If these plans once consummated, it is all over with Austria; the Russian standard, which would be seen upon the mosques of Constantinople, would announce at Vienna that its city must soon see it hoisted upon its ramparts. All Europe would doubtless be threatened with the same yoke; but Austria is at the advanced posts; she would be the first passage and field of battle, the armies destined to decide between barbarians and the domination of the successors of Attila.

NEW YORK, May 19: Late Foreign Intelligence. We copy the following articles from a London paper of April 2d, with which captain Thompson, of the ship Westpoint, from Londonderry, has politely favored the editor of the Mercantile advertiser. It is one day later than any advices previously received.
LONDON, April 2. Foreign papers to the 28th ultimo, have reached us, which abound in pacific reports. It seems to be a general opinion on the continent, that a negotiation for peace, under the mediation of the court of Vienna, has either been actually commenced or is about to take place, between France and Russia. We trust, however, that the intercourse between the cabinets of Vienna and St. Petersburg has some better object in view, than to relieve Bonaparte from his present embarrassments, by a precipitate and ill advised peace, which he would maintain just as long as suited his convenience, and not one moment longer. According to every appearance they have at last got the tiger in the toils; and it is their fault if they let him escape. The following is an article from
Stutgard, March 14. The reports of an armistice are still in circulation; and, it is added, that since the mediation of the court of Austria has been offered, the emperor Napoleon has expressed his willingness to treat with Russia, upon the conditions offered by M. D'Obil. We mention these things merely as rumors; they only serve to show the sentiments the people of Germany entertain of the moderation of the emperor Napoleon.
Frankfort, March 15. For some days past there has been a report of a three-fold alliance between France, Persia and the Porte. Some say it is already signed by the two latter powers, and that France will accede to it. The news from Vienna continues to wear the most pacific complexion. We are assured that baron St. Vincent's mission to Warsaw has had the happiest consequences; and that Austria will now exert all her influence at St. Petersburg to induce Russia to make peace; but, say these advices, if contrary to all expectation, the efforts of the court of Vienna are not crowned with success, Austria will be more determined than ever to remain neutral during the present contest. Yesterday, at 12 o'clock, his majesty came from Windsor to the queen's palace. About half past one his majesty gave audience to lord Erskine, when his lordship delivered his speech at seal. At 2 o'clock his
is to turn the left wing of the army. But this intention is understood: E. is opposed to Massena, with a superior force; and unless the former be defeated this last combination is disconcerted, Napoleon must retire. We have seen some letters respecting the battle of Eylau, which throw new light on the circumstances leading to that momentous conflict. Bernadotte, alias Pic Corvo, being greatly pressed sent for reinforcements. His courier was intercep-
and Bonaparte advancing to Konigsberg, found himself in front, not of a Russian detachment, but of the main army. A battle was then unavoidable, and is exceeded, those letters say, all that has ever been heard of or read in history. The number of killed and wounded amounted to no less than fifty-five thousand men. Of those put hors de combat 15,000 were Russians and 40,000 French. The greater loss of the latter arose from their advancing upon the most fortified part of the Russian line, where almost every assailant fell. They suffered also in another way. The Gen. d'Armes a Cheval made their way thro' the Russian wings; they were there met by the cavalry of reserve, and but 16 out of 5,000 men returned to the "grand army." The Russians formed a compact mass—a column of granite, as the French would express it; but before night arrived, the appearance of the Prussian army, which had been fighting all day put an end to the conflict, and caused the French to retreat. Sir Richard Strachan has sailed from Plymouth, in the Caesar, to take the command of the squadron off Rochfort.
Alexandria Daily Advertiser. FRIDAY, MAY 22. The schooner Experiment, of Baltimore, capt. Loring, bound to Montego-Bay, (Jamaica) was taken the 2d of April after three hours chase by a French schooner of 18 guns. The privateer came alongside within pistol shot, and fired about 50 musket balls on board. One of the officers came on board, took the speaking trumpet, and seat it all to pieces over capt. Loring's head; then took capt. Loring on board the privateer, the captain of which took his trumpet and served capt. L. in the same manner; then plundered him of almost all his clothes, and robbed the vessel of articles of considerable value: afterwards they put men and a prize master on board and ordered him for a Spanish part of St. Domingo. On the 4th of April, was retaken by an English brig of 14 guns, and sent into Kingston, Jamaica. [Baltimore American]

THE PURCHASER.—A TALE. Friend, in thy travels, hast thou never seen, With mincing gait, And haughty air, The vain coquette Trip to the fair, Under pretence some articles to buy— But more to show her pretty body To every gaping noddy, And make each love-struck fopling sigh? Thou hast, I ween. So have I seen the self-conceited fop, Enur with haughty pride, my shop, And most obsequious air; His noddle almost kiss'd the ground; But soon his cane he 'gan to dandle, And rose as straight as tallow candle, Or his pomatum'd hair— And thus he spake, and wisely look'd around: "Thou'st vastly many pretty things to sell," "And I should like to buy: Wilt please their prices, Sir, to tell!" "They're different," I reply.— "Too much, by G—," Sir Fopling cries, "Turn'd on his heel, and off he hies." TACITURN.
