WISCONSIN RIVER.

The west ought to receive her due, and when
an erroneous opinion becomes ex,ant, relative
TO the advantage Of any one portion Of it, such
'opinion should be removed. 1t is thus with
public opinion in relation to the country lying
on the Wisconsin river, and the river itself.
II is generally believed by persons, who have
known nothing about the river, that it is not
naylgable for steam boats nor never can be, and
the reason they assign is, that numerous sand
bars are in the river which keep constantly
shifting about so as TO render it impossible for
any person to get knowledge of the channel,
Although this is the case, they are far less for
midabie instructions to the navigation Of the
river than ia generally supposed. That very
votable nature, which makes them change fire.
quently, enables boat which draws 3 feet Of
water to run over a bar having only feet,
But without attempting to answer these oh.
jections, information of the fact that such boats
have and do continue to run the river as often
as its yet limited trade will warrant, is suth.
cient to convince people Of their error. The
Science, Capt. Clark, has made two trips this
season to the Portage, at Fl. Winnebaqo: The
Envoy, Capt. Burbank, made one. The lat.
ter ran up at a comparatively low stage of the
waters. She is aboat Of one hundred and TWEEN.
~ tons. Az to the country on both sides d
the river. il is surpassed by none in the Terri.
tory. There are thousands whose ewes are
directed already to the country west Of the ri.
yer, waiting for the extinguishment Of the In.
dian claim, by treaty with the United States,
which will undoubtedly take place this season;
and think ! can safely say that in one yea.
after the treaty, there will be three thousand
settlers on that side Of the river.

CoNsTANrINopLE, Sept. I,

Emancipation of Females from ths Harem.-The 9th of September will be chyoniced in golden letters the annals of the Seaglio and in all probability its an- nlversary will be commemoraed by the future genera tions ol the Mussulnian the hegira of their deliyerance from the bondage under which the stupid cruelty of man had for ages condemned their sex to groan. In the earlier part of the day the Sultan sent for them to inform them that he had resolved relea- sing them from the perpetual Imprisonment within the precincts of hs palace, which they had hitherto sidered themselves condemned for life, and granting them the felicity of occasionally seeking recreation of doors They might in future, whenever disposed to frequent any of the public walks the Bosphoris, free y acqdant him with their wish, for he would feel 1t pleasure to indulge them. It were more easy 10 ima- zine that to describe the peasurable sensation which these words of the Sultan produced his fair audto- ". Their lord, 1t may fairly be presumed, at that ment appeared to their eyes angel sent from Hea- ven to release them from their letters. They simua- neously threw themselves at his feet and bedewed them with tears of heartfelt gratitude. The ladies did not, 1t may readily be believed, employ much time before the toilet mirror. few minutes after the reception of the glad tdings, they already embarked, proceeding with all the apidy which the concentrated energy of fourteen sinewy boatmen could nlpart to their light bark, towards Hunkiar Skelisy. A strange coinc- dence must it, doubt, have appeared to them, that this very sweet spot where the Sultan; four years pre- vious sacrificed his independence the altar of Rus- sian power should become the theatre of their own emancipation. The rapid movement of tie hiritisck- kas, and the oveness of tho valley they crossed drove away apparently all gloomy reflections from their minds for their arrival al the delightful kiosk of To- kat they all took equally active part in the scene of merriment and froic; which continued without inter- mission until the lenghenng shades from the neighbor- ing hills apprized them that it vas high time to return home. So enchanted were they with this days pas time, that on their arrival at the palace they besodgh the Sultan to allow them to return to Toks tke 6th ard did not desst from their applications until they had secured his consent
