OF procuring officers meets with he most

FOUNTAIN FERRY,
At Alton, Illinois,

rs now in good order for crossing all persons
IL travelling from the states east of the Mis-
sissippi, to st. Charles, Boon's Lick, Or SAT-
Riuer, in the territory of Missouri; and is three
miles nearer I, ON Milton to Madam Griffith's,
near Portage dc Sioux, than any other road now
travelled. The subscriber has caused the roads
leading to and from the Ferryto be put in good
repair; has an excellent set of boats and hands;
and, owing to the particular form of the river
at low water, and during all the fall and winter
months, he can make three trips across the ri
yer Mississippi, at this ferry, sooner than one
trip can be made at any other ferry on the same
river within the state, by which travellers will
notmeet with any detention or delay, even by
strong winds: and that they may notbe misled,
or made tc SO out of the road, all persons de-
sirousof travelling this way, will please to fol-
low these directions:
On leaving Milton for the river, keep the
left-hand road at the foot of the bluff. 1t is
level and dry. In travelling to the east from st.
Charlesto the state of Illinois, take the right
hand road when you get within about mile of
Smeltzer's, where you will observe the marks
of sign-board knocked down. In passing this
way you wilnot be detained by high winds.

HIGHLY IMPORTANT.
The Hero Of Lake Erie, the gallant
OLIVER H. PERRY, is no more.
The U. S. corvette John Adams ar
rived in Hampton Roads on yesterday
afternoon, about o'clock, from Port
Spain, Trinidad from which place she
sailed the last day of August. From
lieut., commandant Claxton, who at pre-
sent commands that ship, we have re-
ceived the following communication res
pecting the death of this distinguished
officer.
COMMUNICATED.
Died--on the 23d August, on board
the U. S. schr. Nonsuch, at the mo-
ment of her arrival at Port Spain, in the
island of Trinidad, commodore OLIVER
H. PERRY. He was taken with the
yellow fever on his passage from the
town of Augostura, and, although he was
attended by two able physicians, he was
reduced to the greatest extremity on the
fourth day of his illness. Sensible of
his approaching dissolution, he called
his officers together, and communicated
his last wishes.
He retained his faculties to the last
was perfectly collected and resigned, and
submitted to his fate with great resolu-
ton and fortitude.
His remains were inferred at Port
Spain, on the oath August, with naval
and military honors. The troops Of the
island, great concourse of citizens, to-
gether with the officers and crews of the
John Adams and Nonsuch, formed the
procession. The funeral was splendid
and imposing, and there appeared to be
but one sentiment Of mournful regret
among all who witnessed this melan-
choly spectacle. The conduct of the
governor, Sir Ralph Woodford, on this
occasion, was marked with distinguished
respect towards the deceased, and every
American should feel grateful to him
for the honors which he paid to the re-
mains of their gallant countryman.
1t was the wish of the officers of the
squadron that the body should be imme-
diately conveyed to the United States,
but the surgeons were Of opinion that it
would be utterly impracticable.

TRIBUTE OF RESPECT.

TRIBUTE OF RESPECT.
In consequence of the death of the
gallant commodore OLIVER H. PERRY,
of the United States navy, at Port Spain,
in the island of Trinidad, on the esd of
August last, circular letter was, we
understand, Immediately issued by the
Navy Department, addressed to the sew
eral commanding naval officers, COM
mandants of navy yards, and the COM
mandant of marines, requiring them,
respectively, upon receipt of the said
circular, to pay the usual tributes of re-
spect to the memory of the illustrious
officer deceased, by hosting the flags at
half mast, firing minute guns, and causing
the officers attached to their respective
commands, to wear Grape on the left
arm, during the space of thirty days.
We are requested from respectable
quarter, to state that there is no founda-
ton for the paragraph extracted from a
Boston paper into the Gazette Of this
morning, respecting the arrest of Don
Louis de Onis in Spain: the last infor-
nation of him was as late as July Esd,
when he was at his estates, waiting for
the arrival of the king at Madrid, to pre-
sent himself at court.-N Y. En-. Posi-.
The Whote Fishery.-Whilst our COM
merce with Europe is declining, the
whale fishery engages the attention OF
the adventurous in New England, chiefly
at Nantucket, New-Bedford, and Sag
Harbor, from which ports double the
present number of vessels employed will
be fitted out next season. The voyage
is represented as peculiarly healthy, and
from the nature ofthe contract, the whale
men, like the Grecians oftheArchipelago,
| feel great ambition in the success of the
ship. The business is favorable to econ
ony and morals. The ship rarely touches
at port, and the seaman returns to his
home with the whole fruits of his voyage.
Much leisure is afforded for the improve
ment of boys; thing not always lost
sight of even on ship board. In every
point of view it is desirable to cultivate
the fisheries, and the present cheapness
of vessels and plenty of seamen will
probably tend greatly to increase our en-
terprize in this profitable navigation.
