The intelligence received by the last
mail from tie South, presents the follow
ing important article:
:" "Imborfam Private letters from
France (says the Charleston 1imes re.
ceived by commercial house in this

drawn; that there is not doubt Of an

They corroborate the report brought by
the arrival at Boston, OF the arrest of sew
eral ofthe French Ministers, for being
concerned in the assassination Of the
Duke Of Berri" ~
We have been prepared, to anticipate
intelligence OF this character /: we have
always believed and we stiH do, that
France is slumbering volcano; it has
been throwing mp volumes Of smoke,
and there has been, we eelieve. an inter-
nal combustion. The present situation
of Spain seems favorable to such an ex-
plosion in France. Let the reader COM
pare the sentiments. expressed in the a.
bove extract with those delivered in the
private, letter from France, that we pub
iish in our paper of to day - See pre-.
ceding column. In fact, it is difficult
to believe that France will remain quiet
otherwise than by compulsion. We
wait for further advices France is prob
ably yet destined to pass " through grea,
varieties ot untried beirg."- The mort
we see Of Europe, the more does an A
mericau feel attached to the soil of his
ancestors. Separated from such scenes
ofturmoil and distress, by the waves Of
the Atlantic, we may, under the auspic-
c. Of Divine Providence, hope that our
free nasioutions are ,destincdlto survive

IMPORTANT NORTHWESTERN TOUR

IMPOHIANl NOhihWt.oi CnN ioOh
Mr. Secretary Calhoun's exeruons to
obtain correct information concerning
the territory of the u. s. merits the
commentator of every good citizen.
Among other objects, he has determin.
cd, as we learn, to send competent
BODY of men to make a survey of Our
northwestern territory. We understand
tina, his excellency Lewis Cass, of Mich
igan, is to proceed at the head Of the
expedition, and that he is to be accom-
panied by Typographical or military
engineer, imimralogist, and perhaps, a
botanist, and other scientific men.
The expedition ,ist9 start in bark Ca
noes from Detroit, ;WAd proceed along
and explore the western shore of Lake
Huron, and BY Michilimackinac to the
falls of St. Mary; then along the south
crn shores Of Lake Superior to its west
ern extremity, noting its topography,
the beds Of. native copper, the nations Of
Indians, the production of the country,
the qualities Of the soil, and every thing
worthy Of attention, as they proceed.
From the ford du Lac, a western recess
of the Lake, The party is to proceed to
the head waters Ct the Mississippi, and
examine the sources visited and describ.
ed by General Pike during the admins
tration Of Mr. Jefferson.
Having explored this region for the
discovery Of he principal bead Of that
great river, the exploring party will de-
.scrnd its stream 10 the Prairie des Chi
ens Thence they are to ascend the
Oniscodsin vusle dividing ridge sepa
rating its waters from those Of the Fox
river shence down the Fox river to
Grrep Bav. near the north end of LAKE
Michigan. snd after exploring the coa>'
of that Lake return to Detroit by lhe

St. Josephs and the Miami OF the Lake.
Out Of this expedition several advan.
tages may be expected to arise ;-such
as
l. A knowledge of the character and
resources CT that immense country south
and west Of Lake Superior.
2. An acquaintance with the native
tribes of Indians, their numbers, dispo-
sitions-the causes OF their late attach
ment to the British. Of their discontents,
and the means ot conciliatiDg and at
! taching them to us, and finally, Of cut
ting off all communication between them
and the British in Canada.
8. The true story of the long and far
famed masses OF native copper said to
exist on the south shore Of Superior,
may be- expected and perhaps arrange
meats made for purchasing the soil from
the Indians. w.,
4. Facts Of importance may be ascer-
tanned relative to the northwestern boun-
diary OF the y. 5. contemplated by the
treaty to run due auesf /;om the Lake of
The food 10 the mosf northern source vi
the Mississipm.
S. Collections of vegetables growing
spontaneously ought to be made by the
travellers and brought back, III herbari-
Hns, tor the purpose OF enlarging ihe
boundaries of American btsany.
6. Specimens OF all the minerals and
fossils will doubles, be collected aud
preserved, thai more correct notions may
be formed, than we yet possess, of the
rocky and alluvial materials entering into
the composition Of the soil and OF their
geognosilc formation.
z. Important information may be fur
nished respecting the fisheries of those
Inland seas and their tributary rivers,
8. Important and authentic intorma-
tion respecting the military topography
and physical geography OF the country.
These are some Of the benefits To be
expected from this tour with proper
craftsmen TO accompany the Govern r,
every memorable object that cannot be
brought away, whole or in part, may be
skctcfed and delinl ated. Every good
citizen will wish success to mission 81
honorable to the nation; TO those who
conceived and those who shall execute
the project.
Would it not rebound infinitely tothe
character OF the government for muniG.
cence, if persons acquainted with the
natural as well as the physical sciences,
should accompany all ,he political and
military missions to the frontiers? A
vast fund of the most useful information
might thus be accumulated at the War
Department for public instructions; ant
the rapid increase and importance of the
country requires this information.

Bissexfiie or Leap Tear February
the present year has 20 days instead Of
the customary number OF 28. In order
70 adjust the civil as accurately as possi-
bic to the solar year, without which ar.
ransement, January would. in process Of
time, have occurred at midsummer, Ju-
lius Caesar appointed the oath February,
which, according to the Roman notation,
was named the Sixth of the K,len,ls II
March, to be counted tqpiee ovey every
fourth year.-HeDce the year which re-
ceived this intercalary da, was called 6is.
Sextile, from bis twice, and Sexius, the
sixth. The term, however, is evidently
no longer suitableto our calender. Yet,
we own, we are not much better satis6.
ed with the vulgar sppelation of .eab-
year, which conveys the idea Of skibbns
over or omitting day, in place OF adding
one to the ordinary number.
1t is called Leap year, because after
the 29th February, the days Of the month
will not as usual fall the next day of the
week to that on which they fell the pre-
ceding year, but on the day but one.
thus Eabihg over one of the days of the
week. For Instance, the 7th of March
was last year Sunday, and in the common
order it would this year be Monday, but
this year it leaps over Monday and falls
on Tuesday Il e,pool Meawy.

In the Baltimore Morning Chronicle,
edited 10y Mr.. PAuL ALLEN, a genlle-
man distinguished ior his literary talents,
we f,d the following remarks. The
Chronicle is violent federal paper; and
has been always very veheiment against
the conduct of Gen. JACKSON, during
the Seminole War Since the pu0ilca-
sion OF the Generals memorial; Mr.. Az
exEN has changed his opinion; and thus
handsomely expresses himself IN relation
70 the hero Of New-Orleans:-
I've evere led 70 aPprehe,d,. from the
course pursued by the senate, that Cen
csal Jackson's memorial, contained strong
and indecorous reflections olftbat body ).
but on the per us;A OF that document, we
were very agrecably disappointed. 1t is

couchcd in manly and dignlfied style.
1t is an able and interesting. document,
yeplcte with energy, and doe, no dlscre-
dit to the pen OF the respectable writer.
There is something about the character
Of this man, peculiarly uncommon, and
peculiarly imposing; he writes and he
fights with equal energy, and combines
two properties, rarely lndeed 10 he found
trthe character of one man. When the
writer is not made the slave Of his own
PASSIONS, there lsa perspiouity, a strength,
and dignity OF style mhls compositions,
. compacu.ess OF argument, and com
nanding force, that seems to hurry the
reader along nolens voiens In his passage
Many reader has SET down to lne peru
sal of Gen. JacksoD's memorial, a decid-
cd enemy to that character, and has aris-
cnup, both friend anb a proscIyte. We
Believe that We hazard nolhng in the as,
sertion when we state our h,m belief,
tha, General Jackson is the most extra
ordinary man now living on the continent
of America. Appointed to conduct a
war, that war is put an end to, almost by
enchantnent. Indeed OF niarauding In
dams upon our borders. The American
standard is aauntihg its folds to the gales
OF Pensacola. If he enters into justii-
cation of his measures, lie shews the
same fearless intrepidity, that lie docs in
the field Of battle; the reader finds nlnl-
self forced along to the same conclusions,
and he rises in stale Of astonishment.
Such is the commanding force Of mind,

Here is no soft sickly effusian Of senti.
