Morris Birbeck, esq. Secretary Of

Harmony. Mr.. B. was the founder of
New Albion, the jealous promoter Of
emigration from Great Britain, and
the author of vivid description of
the Western country His loss will
be Severely felt by the emigrants of the
West. His door was ever open, and
his purse was ever at the service OF
"the houseless wanderer."
He has left four sons and two daugh-
tiers. The backwoodsmen called him
the emperor Of the Praries," on &C
count of his buying at single pur-
chase, $4,000 acres of public land
He held most fascinating pen, the
productions of which did more towards
peopling the West than any other wri-
ter Of the day. Illinois owed him a
vast debt for his exertions, in beating
up for emigrants, and she was CRATE
full in the distinguished honor which
she conferred upon him.

ANECDOTE OF JOHN PAUL JONES.
Origin of the name of the ship Gle Bon Hon.
me Richard"
otis fact not generally known, that
the late JOHN PAUL JONES, (the dis,in-
guished American naval officer of the
American revolution, al the time that
he was attempting to fit out small
squadron, during the late Revolution
ary) war, in one of the ports of France,
to cruize on the coast of England, was
much delayed by neglects and disap-
pointments from the court, that had
nearly frustrated his plans. Chance
one day threw into his hands an old al
manac, containing "Poor Richards
Maxims," by DR.. Franklin. In that
curious assemblage of useful instruc-
ton, man is advised "if he wishes to
have any business faithfully and expe-
ditiously performed, to go on it him
self; otherwise to send" Jones was
Immediately struck, upon reading this
maxim, with the improperly OF his
past conduct, in only sending letters and
messages to Court, when he ought to
have gone in person. He instantly set
out, and, by dint Of personal represen-
tations, procured the immediate equip
ment Of the squadron which afterwards
spread terror along the eastern coast OF
England, and with which he glorious
ly captured the Scraps and Countess 81
Scarborough, British ships Of war, re-
turning from the Baltic. In gratitude
to DR.. Franklin's maxim, he named the
principal ship Of his squadron alter
the name of the pretended almanac
make, GLE Bon HoMME RICHARD.

TREATY WITH THE INDIANS.

Detroit, June l4.-llis excelleney
Gov. Cass will leave this, to-day, for
Prairie du Chen, for the purpose OF
holding Council with the Sioux, Me-
nominy, Sack and Fox tribe of Indians.
The object of the Governors mission,
is not to obtain cessions from the IN
dams, but solely for the purpose OF
forming treaty, to establish the boun-
diaries, and insure tranquility between
the Sioux Of the one part, and the last
mentioned tribes of the other, between
whom deadly, hereditary warfare has
been carried OH for many generations.
Our government has been induced to
mediate between the contending par
ties, equally, by motives Of humanity
as it relates 10 the Indians, and Of sound
policy as il relates to ourselves. IL
will be recollected that four of our CT
tizens were killed, last summer, upon
lake Pepin, by a war party OF Chip
pewas, and the Governor could, no Ion
ger, delay taking measures to put an
emu W - war w nlIh thN ~
tcrcourse Of our traders and the safety
Of our citizens in that region. The
mission from these several tribes to
Washington, last summer, was con-
nected with the measures now pursu-
ing for their general paci6cation.
Causes enough exist, already, tend
ing to diminish the numbers and re-
,ard the civilization of the Indians,
without adding to them the feuds that
lead them to destroy one another. We
sincerely hope that the benevolent in
tentions of the government may be re-
allied, by effecting the objects of the
mission And we feel the greatest
confidence that they will be, from the
known influence Of Gov. Cass with the
Indians, his experience in diplomacy,
and thorough knowledge of Indian
character and feeling.
We understandable Governor will be
accompanied by Major Forsyth, his
private secretary; and Mr.. Towbridge,
Of the Indian Department, and that
they will be joined at Mackinac by Mr..
Schoolcraft, the tourist, who, on this
occasion, accompanies the mission in
the capacity ofIndian Agent.
