The editor of the New York Advocate,
MIR. Noah, says that a man on his journey
from New York to the mouth of Columbia
river, will meet with the following accom-
modations on his route:
" lie may, very pleasantly, breakfast with
the Russians-dnc with the English-sup
with the frcnch-cat macaroni and Parnis-
an chces, with the ltalians-zour crout, with
the Dutch--and smoke a comfortable pipe
with the Austrians;--if he starts from Mac
kinaw, on his trip visits the Quapaws, tho
Sioux, the Chippcwas, the Catawbas, the
Foxes, and all Of those independent tibcs of
savagcs which are spread over the vast ter
ritory, he will have as LITTLE comfort and ac-
commodaton as he has tranquility and peace
OF mnl.-lnstead OF a neat cottage, over
grown with honeysucklc, and a short petit
coated damsel, with black eyes--crcam and
Fruit and wine for breakfast, and all those
comfortables we meet with ina walk through
Switzerland, the traveller, in his Journey to
Oregon will occasionally hcara bullet whist
ling by his car, will have the privilege Of dod
gng blow from tomahawk, or be placed
rather too close to a roasting fire for conven-
fence. Bear meat, buffalo horns and oppos-
sums, may be ranked as dclicacics, if he can
catch them ; and should the traveller, after
a pilgrimage OF many months, come in sight
of the U. States territorial government of
Oregon, he will, like those who journey to
Mecca and Medina, be ready to lay his bones
in the promised land
The following is an extract of a letter from
an officer engaged in active operations a.
gainst the Burmcse--it is dated aangoon,
May 81;
elm the affair Of Ramoo the Burmese
fought well, and lost about ~ or so killed,
for no quarter was given, nor do think it
will be given during the war on either side,
for if you save Burman's lie, it is ten to one
but he return the favor by taking yours
From all appearances, this will be a bloody
and protractcd warfare. We are about to
send an expedition against SYRIAN, and the
ancient city Of Pegu, in a few days. 1t is 70
miles up the river, and we shall have bush
fighting all the way. We are now busy in
fitting fire booms, and arranging for the
boats to go up the river. ] do not think we
shall be ready for the expedition up the IT.,
rawaddy river to Prone in less than q month
The Captain Of the Larne will then hoist
his pendant on board Of the steam bout. Sill
\. Campbell, with the major part OF his for
ces. will join him, aud only a sufficient garri-
son will be left to protect Rangoon. If We
reach Prone, all will be well but il is an c&-
tremely difficult undertaking to transport il
open boats force of or 1000 men upa ra-
pid river, within stones thrown of tlt
beach, and determined enemy annoying u
the whole way. 1t must, however, be done
and if they donot come to terms, we must Sc
up to Ummcrapoora. The mode of annoy
ance on the part OF the enemy is by fire raft:
and war boats; and as the heavy rain season
is now coming on, they will have the advan
tage of the dark nights. With these they
oblgc us to keep a sharp lookout. They
also sink large boats to the gunwales anf
turn them adrift upon US. The force with
which they come down, aided by the current
is very great. One nearly came on board 0
us the other night it caught rope, and thu
rope cut off a boys leg as clean as if it hac
been amputated. We are going TO send !:
OF the Madras vessels for 5000 men and fo
provisions" Times.
