oea9ance Of this force had wonderful effect
on Tecumseh, who with his usual artTulness
professed the greatest friendship and respect
for the authority of the United States de-
clarcd that he meant merely a visit of COM
pliment, and that he was desirous Of visiting
some friendly tribes below, with whom he
was connected. He passed below, leaving
the Prophet, w;lh the main body of his for
ces, above VinCenncs.
We are now rpprised by the articles we
this day copy from Western prints, that gov.
Harrison is about to move for the purpose Of
dispensing this formidable body of in,ruders,
for which purpose he is to employ Col. Boyd's
regiment, together with portion Of the mil.
lila and some volunteers. 1t is not probable
that there will be any blood shed. The Proph-
ct is represented as being no warrior, and
will probably retire with precipitation when
ordered to do so {; but the magnitude of the
force employed will convince these poor de-
luded wrctches, that, if ever they dare lift
tomahawk against our settlers as a nation or
body, extermina,ion would be their fate.
We are pleased to learn that our govern.
ment is erecting blockhouses and establishing
a line of posts along our northwestern from
tier, which will probably obviate any future
obtrusion from the same quarter.

the Navy Department, TO put in commission an addi-
tonal number Of gun-boats, forthwith twenty to
be stationed in the harbour Of New-York; ten at
Norfolk ; and three at Wilmington, NC. These
are ihtended and no doubt will have the effect to
strengthen the land batteries and enable them more

Mr. West finished his celebrated Picture Of
"Chi'St healing in the Temple" in March
Oh submitting it the inspection of his friends,
all, (artsts and anateurs) with one accord,
pronounced 1t superior to any of his foriaer
productions, general enthusiasm prevailed,
admiration and praise was universal. The
members of the National Institution on lear
ming that this Picture was intended for the II.
States, determined if possible to purchase it
feeling that it would be dishonor to the
profession and TO the country to allow so fine
work OF Art to leave England, without an
effort to retain ia committee was accord
ingiy appointed TO wait on Mr.. West. to
Know IT he would on any terms dispose of the
ficture--he replied, that having painted it
expressly tor present to the Hospital at
Philadelphia, TO which institution lie had for
many years promised it, he would not other
wise dispose Of it The gentlemen returned
to the Institution with this answer-where-
upon, 1t was immediately resolved, that S,O0O
guE2as should be offered Mr.. West for the
Picture, and as a further inducement forhim
10 part with 1t, 1t was determined, that it
should be the first OF a collection of Pictures
to form National Gallery, and Mr. West
was to oe at liberty TO paint a second for the
Hospital at Philadelphia. Ee considering
what he owed to the interest of his family,
and TO his own fame, Yielded to these offers,
and disposed of the Picture to the National
institution, in whose gallery it is deposited,
there to remain lasting monument of his
genus. But he did not part with it, until he
had taken sketches of such parts as he intcn-
ded to Incorporate into his new Picture, for
