PROSPECTUS
THE WEEKLY PICAYUNE

}, our daily paper has gained in oil sections
: OF the country, and the numerous de-
t mands we are receiving from all quarters
: for a weekly journal, we have determined
on starting one Of that description, to be
5 entitled the "l'HE WEEKLY PGAYUNE"
, TO adopt the same igurativ6 style used
in our first prospectus, we have fitted out
, the "Pieayane" for more distant voyages,
and ireighted her with all sorts Of notions
in the shape ofreadadieS; and if the same
success attends her which she has met
with while coastng nearer home, we shall
doubtless receive rich returns.
To prepare our little craft for the more
extended sea on which she is destined to
move, we have put on her many additions
and improvements. Some of her old tim
bers have been taken out and replaced by
new-she has greater measurement fore
and alt, greater length OF beam, and her
sheets have been materially enlarged.
Notwithstanding the Increased size, the
public may rest assured that the 'Picaylne'
will be enabled to work in Sh0ai ,caier with
the same facility as heretofore, and form
channels Of communication which it would
be folly for the dull, heavy vessels at pres
ent sailing this port to navigate.
Commission merchants and others hav-
ing freight in The shape OF advertisements
OF ship for the country trade, would do
well to send them on board our clipper, as
she is up for every city in the u. States,
and all intermediate landings.
We relterate to those fanatical pirates
who cruise under the black fag-who op.
pose slavery because they are themselves
the slaves OF ignorance and superstition
who pretend to rub clean the upper decks
of their neighbors with a holy stone-we
say look out for breakers.
TO Hotel keepers we recommend our
paper; in every engagement her comman-
Ter will be first to lead on the boarderSl
To the Heads of Families the trim an
pearance Of our craft will he an object of
interest. Most married folks have expe-
rienced the effects OF Hght-sparring.
We shall endeavor to make those SNUG
glers, the Bachelors, heaye to-show them
he advantages OF the proper "companion-
0dy," recommending a double siale-room, [
with births, &c. {
We shall send our boat aboard Theatri- {
'als and other anlusements; those pretty I
,leasure-boats, which make our passage S
'ver the lake Of like so delightful. Dane. v
ng we shall especially encourage; as we f
conceive that the safely oil vessel often il
epends upon keeping both pumps going. Il
On first launching the "Picayuae" we b
romised TO carry press Of sail in case Il

aged since she first sailed she has borne 81
