STATUE OF WASHINGTON.

STATUE OF WASHINGTON.
We have lately been favored with a
description of this matcbless Statue,
this chef d'ouvre of the celebrated Ca
NOVA, which is shortly expected to
grace our State House. The Father
of his Country appears in a sitting
posture which is peculiarly susceptible
of that calm and dignifed expression
which belongs to the veteran Patriot,
who enjoys repose after long life of
illastrious services. This attitude is
happily conceived too, in relation to
the employment in which he is engaged.
He is occnpiedin writing with stilum,
a steel pen3 Oh tablet, his Farewell
Address to his Countrymen.--It became
necessary also in order to correspond
with the Hall in which the Statue is to
be placed, whiclids of no extraordinary
elevation. Our Hero and Statesman.
is clothed in the ancient classical cos
tame. The Pedestal is ornamented with
historical scenes in basso relieve, of the
life Of this great man and the marble
used for the occasion, is said to be of
the purest kind. Even the celebrated
Statues of the Apollo of BeIvidere, and
the Venus of N1edici, have their bic
missiles, but the Statue of Washington.
like Washington himself, is without
a stain or spot.
Canova, the artist, who has been en-
ployed to execute the Statue of Wash
insten, is a native of Venice, in which
city some of his earlier works still re-
main !; but most Of his time has been
passed at Rome, and | think l have
read somewhere, that he was detained
in France long time by Bonaparte,
contrary TO his inclinations.
1t was in Rome only, amidst the re-
mains of ancient art, that he felt the
full power Of his genius. When the

IMPORTANT TOUR.

We are informed that the Secretary
Of War has instructed Governor CRss,
to proceed upon an exploring tour to
the north western extremity of Lake
Superior, and thence to the heads Of
the Mississippi, and by the way Of
Prairie du Chen and Green Bay 70
Lake Michigan.
No part of the United States is less
known than the country upon this route.
We depend, for our information re.
specting it, almost wholly upon the re-
rorts of Indi,n traders. 1t is certainly
time that the important geographical
and political questions connected with
it were satisfactorily solved. 1t has
long been known that large masses OF
virgin Copper are to be found on one
of the streams that empty into Lake 81.
perior on its southern shore. Those
require to be fully examined. and the
country should be purchased from the
Indians for the benefit of the United
States. Its meteorological treasures
could then be used for important ma
tional objects.
We are glad to see that Mr.. Calhoun
pursues, with zeal and ability, the ne =
Cessary measures for obtaining cor
rect knowledge of the remote sections
of our country. He has probably car.
ried into the war department the same
opinions which distinguished him in
Congress, upon questions Of internal
improvement. With the practical views
of an enlightened statesman, he appears
anxious to have our immense unsettled
frontiers explored, for purposes Of &C.

accomplishment Of objects more imme'

We understand that the gentlenN

conveyance is not only the most eccnO'

sonment Of from one to six months, and a
fine of from 100 TO 1900 francs, without ex.
empting him from the prosecutions TO which
he may have become liable by the contents
of his paper or article. In such case the
commission may suspend his paper till judg-
ment is pronounced. And if this judgment
is against the journal, the commission may
prolong the suspension for term not ex-
eeeding six months. For repetition of the

LATEST FROM FRANCE.

On re-perusal of the Antwerp papers
by Capt. Bunker, we find that an attemp
was recently made by the French Minister
Of the interior to suppress all the public
journals, and to suffer none to BE circula
ted without license for the purpose FROM
the king. (This evidently shows the dan
ger which was apprehended from free
discussion OF the great political concerns
that, the middle Of last month, agitated
that Kingdom. The committee charged with

rable report.
