the Itvizig, shall reach its point of destination in the
cosine of next summer.
The Yellow Stone enters the Missouri in !attitude
48 des north; and in longitude 27 degrees *lest
from Washington City.. The intended post will beat
'Um mouth. The United Btates wilf then have a mili-
tary establishment one thousand eight hundred miles
west of the Mississippi, and nearly one hundred miles
further north than the city of Quebec. The officers
tarry with them the seeds and grains which are
expected to thrive in that climate, that the pest may
have within itself some resource against the failyre
Of contractors. Wheat, n' ye Barley, and Oats* are
expected td do well there. ` Tbey attain perfectfoo
even at the Earl of Selkirk's Establishment on
Lake Assiniboin, three degrees further North.-
IRte Mandan • corn will find itself in its "rem cli-
at the month of the Yellow Stone. In fact, all
the pains, plants, and vegetables which flourish at
Quebec or itreal may be expected to be raised
es the domb In that interior region of the
( _ Arner continent it known to be near ten
degrees milder than in the same parallel on the At-
lantic coast.
Our fellow citizen, Manuel Lisa, so well known
for his enterprize, will precede the expedition to pre-
pave the Indians for its reception. He will quiet their
apprehensions by shewing. the benevalent and humane
intentions of the American Government ; and will
silence the British emissaries who shall represent the
expedition as an act of war against the Indian nations.
The establishment of this post will be an era in the
[history of the west. It will go to the source and rqot
of that fatal British influence, which has for so many
'years armed the Indian nations against our western
frontiers. It carries the arms and the power of the
United States to the ground which has heretofore
been e4clusively occupied by the British North West
and Hudson's Bay Companies, and which has been
the true seat of the British power over the Indian
mind. Nnw the American arms and the American
policy will be displayed upon the same theatre. The
N.W. and Hudson's Bay Companies will be shut out
from the commerce of the Missouri and Mississippi
Indians; the' American traders will penetrate in
safety the recesses of the Rocky Mountains in search
of its rich furs—a commerce yielding a million per
annum will descend the Missouri ; and the Indians
Boding their wants supplied by American traders,
their domestic wars restrained by American policy,
irill learn to respect the American name.
The name of the yelow Stone river will hereafter
Lbe familiar to the American ear. That a stream of
its magnitude should heretofore have been so little
known, is a proof of the immensity of our country:
How little has it been thought that Iboo miles up
the Missouri, a river was to be found equal in length
and breadth to the ()hie? Yet such is the character
Are Yellow Stone, or Roche-Janne; as it was'called
by the French. One of its branches, the Big Hoen
issues from a lake near the peaks of the lkie del
Norte on the confines of New Mexico, and is naviga,
ble for many miles.
Yellow Stone itself issues from a lake in the Rocky
mountains. It was descended by Captain Clark on
his return from the Pacific Ocean. He found it deep,
rapid, and navigable from the place where he struck
it to its mouth, a distance of 850 miles. Below the
junction of the Big Horn the width was usually from
500:to 800 yards, and sometimes a mile. Innumerable
were the herds of buffaloe and other game which
ranged upon it. This abundance of game is a proof
of the richness of the country ; in fact the traders speak
of the country upon the Yellow Stone, the serenity of
the climate, the rapidity and clearness of the waters,
in terms of admiration.

EXPORTATION OF &AIM Fousrunix.—The Lc-
gislature of New Jersey, now in Session at Trenton,
passed an act last Thursday, prohibiting the expor.
tation of slaves or servtas of colour out of that state.
It makes it penal in the sum of 2000 dollars, or i
prisonment at hard labour for any term not less than
two, or more than four years, at the discretion of the
Court, for any person to send to sea, or export, or
attempt to export, from that State, or to carry out of
it, any slave or servant. And it also enacts, that
every slave or servant so exported or carried out of
that State, or attempted to be exported or carried
out of that State, or sent to sea, shall be free. All
persons aiding and abetting are deemed equally
guilty as the owner of a slave. It also ordains, that
if any person fits out, equips, or mans, or otherwise
prepares any vessel to sail from any port or harbour
in that State, for the purpose of exporting slaves,
' such vessel and cargo shall be forfeited to the state.
It compels the masters of vessels, in case they disco-
ver, after they have got tb sea, any slaves on board,
to return them to the port from whence they took
them, under the penalty of 2000 dollars, or imprison-
ment for four years. •
A violent storm of wind and rain, from the 21st
to the 23d of September, has again devasted the pro-
vision grounds of the negroes there the forward
canes are prostrated, and the coffee trees damaged.
REVIVAL OF Tam:A.—Under this head the Gazette
states, that the steam-b Oat which arrived yesterday
from Albany " brought about 300 passengers, most
of "these traders, with about 400,000 dollar:Roomy.

NEW ORLEANS, OCTOBER 7.
111.01 E THE NZW-TOZIC COMITERCIAL ADTI4TisFt, NOV. 2.

The Government of the United States Imve made
arrangements for carrying into speedy execution their
plans, long since formed, for rendering the country
on the Lower Mississippi invulnerable and unassailable
by a foreign enemy. These plans are intended chiefly
for the security of the city of New Orleans ; and,
when they are completed, no invading army will be
able to approach, as formerly, so near that the sound
of their carillon can be heard in our streets.
We are informed that contracts have been made,
and are making, for the erection of extensive works
to cover the Bay of Mobile, and all the rivers and
passes which afford an entrance from the sea into the
Mississippi.

A letter from New York, dated November If),
says, " We have seen Curacoa Papers and Letters,
brought by Admiral Kikkert, to the 21st of last
month. They contain no news from the Main. The
schooner Evening Post, which sailed from this port
about the middle of August, had not arrived. Sick-
ness had broken out among the foreign seamen ; the
mortality had been so great on board a Dutch fri-
gate and sloop of war, as to Frevent their putting to
sea. The market was dull,"
ANGLESEY Ht./tn.—This annual return of sportive
fe,stivity was held at Beaumaris, on Monday, the 2d
ultimo, and continued for the week. The politeness
arid many accomplishments of the' Lady Patroness,
Miss L. Stan'..cy, daughter of Sir J. Stanley, of Pen-
rhos, near Holyhead, ensured a numerous meeting of
all the fashion and beauty of the island and the neigh-
bouring county, and exceeded all praise. The mild-
ness of the weather for several of the preceding weeks
acted as a strong stimulus in rousing the sportsmen
into action, and promised an excellent 'chase ; each
returning day chewed a good field,'-where " Yoics,"
and " Narks forwards," of the heroes of the chase,
headed by their Comptroller, C. H. Evans, of Hen-
blas, Esq. and the Deputy Comptroller, W. P. Lloyd,
Esq. of Llywdiarth, re-echoed ovet the plains with
more than usual shrillness. There were Balls on
the Tuesday, Wednesday, Thuisday, and Friday.--
On Wednesday, the procession day, the hounds ran
with excellent speed, and the sport was fine. The
procession from the field through the town, which
formed near Baron Hill, was very numerous ; besides
the Gentlemen of the field, there were noticed several
Ladies on horsebai:k, and in their carriages, among
whom were the Misses Stanley. About four o'clock
the ordinary was served up, and was very nume-
rously attended by the Ladies and Gentlemen. The
evening was closed with the Comptroller's Ball.—
Friday evening the Lady Patroness gave a Ball at the
Town-hall, which was, a few months back, com-
pletely repaired, and elegantly fitted up by the direc-
tion and at the expense of- the corporation of Beau-
, mans. This Ball commenced With quadrilles, which
I were led off by the Misses Stanley, with such ele-
gance as might wall suit a Parisian Assembly. The
I whole of the Balls were crowded to excess with all
the beauty and I:union of the island.
