MANSION•HOV4E.

Yesterday afternoon, a man underwent a private
examination, belore the LORD MAYOR. He was
charged with others with breaking open the compt-
ing house and desks of Messrs. Shaw and Co.
in Bridge-street, Blackfriars, and carrying off
Bonds, Bills, Bank Notes, and cash, to the Amount
of five thousand pounds. The Prisoner was ap-
prehended in consequence of some of the Notes in
question being supposed to have been circulated
through him, and a Bank note of twenty pounds
was changed by his wife, at a linen draper's in the
Borough, where she bought goods t the amount
of three pounds. This was proved to be nue of the
stolen Notts. The Prisoner had been afo nniAn in
Mr. Shaw's house, but now keeps a public house in
the &rough. It being conceived that there are se-
veral others concerned, not yet apprehended, the
Prisoner was remanded to the Poultry Compter for
further examination.

A waterman WAS fined twenty shillings for an over-
charge on the Lord Mayor's day. The fine and

An article from Patis of the 12th mentions, that
a, there was no commemorative fete this year for
the 18:h Brumaire, it will, of course, be incorporated
with that of the coronation, and thus increase the
brilliant recolledion of that memorable day.
All the papers of yesterday give an account of the
BONA PARTE family. It is taken from that inter-

A letter from a Gentleman at N.2w York, to his

1111. JEFFERSON'S ADDRESS TO THE CHIEFS AND
WAItRIORS OF THE OSAGE INDIANS.

We have extracted from The New York Cesseseecint Aken
thee, of the 6th of October, President Jeffersrin's Addrew to
the Chiefs and %Varriors of the thigu linlians.

MY CHIEDRt4, WHITE HAIRS, CHIEFS, AND
WARRIORS 01 THE OSAGE NATION,
I repeat to. you assurances of the satisfaition it
has given me to receive you here. Bcsides the la-
bour of such a journey, the confidence you have
shewn in the honour and friendship of my country-
men is peculiarly gratifying ; and I hope you have
seen that your confidence was justly placed, that
you have found yourselves, since you crossed the
Mississippi, among brothers and friends. with whom
you were as safe as at home.
My Children—l sincerely weep with you over the
graves of your chiefs and fiends, who fell by the
hands of their enemies lately detendiug the Osage
river. Had they been prisoner., arid living, we
would have recovered them : hut no voice cab
awake the dead, no power undo what is done; on
this side the Mississippi, where our government has
been long established, and our authority organised,
our friends visiting us are sale. We hope it will
not be long before our voice will be heard, and our
arm respeaed, by those who meditate to injure our
friends on the other side of that river ; in the mean
time, Governor Harrison will be direeted to take
proper measures to inqu're into the circumstances
of the transaelion, to report them to us for consi-
deration, and for the turther measures they may
require.
My Children—By late arrangements with
France and Spain, we now take their place as your
neighbouis, friends, and fathers ; and we hope you
wilt have no.cause to regret the change. It is so
long since our fore-fathers came from beyond the
great river, that we have lost the memory of it, and
seem to have grown out of this land, as you have
done; never more will you have occasion to change
your fathers. We ace Al now of one family, barn in
the same land, and bound to Eve as brothers, aed
the strangers from beyond the great water are
goue from among us, the great spirit has given 'ou
strength, and' has given us strength ; not that we
might hurt one another, but to do each other all the
good in our power. Our dwellings indeed are very
far apart ; bnt'not too far to carry on comaif ace aad
useful intercourse. You have tars and pehries which
we want, and we have chnhcs and blankets and
other useful things that you want; let us employ
ourselves then in mutually accommodatieg each
other. To begin this on east- pit. it was neceyrar y
to know what nations inhabited the great country
called Louisiana, whets embraces all the waters
of the Mississippi and Missouri, what number of
peltries they could furnish, what qualities and kinds
of merchandise they would require, where would
be the deposits most convenknt for them, and to
make zn exact map of all the waters—For this purr
pose I sent a beloved man, Capt. Lewis, ono of iny
household, to learn something of the people with
whom we ate now united, to let yon know we were
your friends, to invite you to come and see us, and
to tell us how we can be useful to you. I thank you
for the readiness with which you have listened to his
voice, and for the layout you ;hewed him in his pas-
sage up the Missouri. I hope your countrymen
will favour and protect him as far as they es' and.
On his return we shall Lear what he has von and
learned, and proceed to establish trading houses where
our red brethren shall think best; and to exchange
eommodaies with them on terms with which they
will he satisfied.

With the same views I had prepared another par-
ty to go up the Red River to its source, thence t.)
the source of the Ai kan'a, and down to its mouth ;
but I will now give orders that they shall oily go a
small distance up the lied River this season, and re-
turn to tell us what they have seen, and that they
shall not set out for the head of that river till the
ensuing spring, when you will be at home, and
will, I hope, guide and guard them on their jour-
ney. I also propose the next year to send another
small party up the River Kansas to its source, thence
to the bead of the River Panis, and down to its
mouth, and thence up the River to the North side
of the Missouri—For guides along these • rivers we
must make arrangements with the nations inha-
biting them.
My Children—l was sorry to learn that a schism
had taken place in your nation, and that a part of
your people had withdrawn with the great track,
to the Arkansa river, we will send an agent to them,
and will use our best offices to prevail on them to
return, and to live in union with you. We wish to
make them also our hi. lids, and to make that friend-
ship, and the weignt it may give u. with them, use-
ful to you and them.
We propose, my Children, immedi stely to esta-
blish an agent to reside with you, who will speak to
you our word+, and convey yours to :is; who will
be die guardian of our peace and friendship, con-
vey truths from the one to the other, nissipate all
falsehoods which might tend to alienate and divide
ns, and maintain a good understanding and friend-
ship between us : as the distance is too great lot you
to rime often and tell u. your wants, you will tell
them to him on the spit, and he will convey them
to us in writing, so that we shall be sure that they
come from you ; through the intervention of such
an agent, we shall hope that our friendship will for
ever be preserved, no wrong will ever be done you
by our nation, and we trust that yours will do none
to us ; and should ungovernable indviduals commit
unauthorised outrage on either side, let them be
duly punished ; or, if they escape, let us makeeeto
each other the hest satilaCtion the case admits, and
not let our peace be broken by bad mendfor all peo-
ple have some bad men among them, whom no laws
can restrain. As you have taken so long a journey
to see your fathers, we wish you not to return till you
shall have visited our country and towns towards the
sea coast. This will be new and satigfaitory to you,
and will give you the same knowledge of the coun-
try on this side of the Mississippi, which we are en-
deavouring to acquire of that on the other side, by
sending trusty persons to explore them. We pro-
pose to do in your country only what we are desir-
ous you should do in ours ; we will provide accom-
modations for your journey, for your comfort while
engaged in it, and for your return in safety to your
own country, carrying with you those proofs of es

tern w;thostilich ire distinguish or?' friends, and
sliali pArtiEnlarly distinguish you. On your return*
tell your people that i take them all by the hano%
that 1 become thfir father hereafter, that th^y shalt
know our nation only as friends and benefa3ors ; •
that we have no views upon them but to carry on a
commerce useful to them and us; to kaep them
hi peace •mith their neighbours, that their children
may multiply, may grow up and live a good old
age, and their women no longer fear the tomahawk
of any enemy.
My Children, then are my words; entry them to
your nation, keep them in your memories, and our
friendship in your hearts ; and may the Great Spirit
look down upon us, and cover us with the punte of '.
his love. TH. JET v'aksox..4

It is said, that the latter was uncommonly a •
mated and pointed in the remt,nstrance, which
he delivered on his own part, and that of the
other Commissioners ; and that he ended, by declar-,
in gbe would make the whole transadion subjed •
oiparliameutary inquiry. The public, aspsttal, Ara
divided as to the propriety of the steps that bay*
been lately taken by Mr. Foster : his friends say;
that he has already brought into the treasury, bybis
own exertions, one million sterlinlr ; whilst, on thou
o her hand, it is asserted as roundly, that the brew-
eries and distilleries have been injured. and, of coo-
sequence, the revenue decreased.
