A correspondent Of tue Boston Daily Adver-
User has furnished VS. with some valuable infor-
nation through that paper, relative TO the estab-
lsnment OF territorial government on the CO.
lrmbia river. II is an important object Of that
settlement, that il should all on. Commercial! en-
terprises in that quarter of the world, bv being
pacei on that part of the coast which has a har-
bour 1T once safe and easy of access. But that
at the month OF the Columbia river. he speaks
from personal observation, does not possess these
recommendations he SAYS that 4 spit of sand
makes of 10 considerable distance fron the
r,int on each side of the entrance-that sand
tar extends wholly across the mouth % the river
upon which there are but fathoms of water at
high tde-snd that even in the miIdest weather
there are breakers and tumultuous sen npon the
bar, caused by the shai!owncss of the water and
the rollers Of that vast ocean meeting the rap
ID current of the Columbia. These arc serious
objections certainly 70 settlement on that river
for commercial purposes, especially when it is
added that il is extremely dangerous even for
small vessels TO attempt going in or out of the
harbour, and that great delay is frequently coca
stoned, between October and April in getting to
sea.
Blu; The writer does not destroy the idea Of
settlements being made on the Columbia, with
out pointing out palcc on the same coast about
two degrees farther north ii is on the southern
side Of the strait Of Juan dc Fuc1 in the vicinity
of Port Discovery, where he thinks an eligible
settlement may be found. The strait of" Juan
&c F1scI," he says. " is nearly three leagues
broal at its entrance, with bold shores on each
side and presents no distractions whatever 70
navigation, which is easy aud safe at all seasons
a the year. He therefore recommends that in
stead OF Immediately making settlement on the
Col.moAT, tie President be requested to cause
survey Of the coast, With view OF ascertaininr
mcnt. In this view ofthe subject cannot but
concur with tie experienced writer in the Ad-
vertiser.
In the Register Just issued From this town, are
several omissions and some changes which have
