BLACKyvOOD,S MAGAZINE
AND THE
BRITISH QUARTERLY REVIEWS
~ PremsuInR TO Ncw SuhScI ihers

OWING TO the late revolutions and counter-revo-
~ lutions among the nations of Europe, which have
followed each oth"- qIcl succession, and oil which
the end is not yet the leading periodicals OF Great
Britain have become invested with degree of inter
est hitherto unknown. They occupy middle
ground between the hasty, DISCOUNTED necessarily
imperfect records Of the newspapers, and the elabo-
and ponderous tresses to be furnished by the his
toran at a future day. The American Publishers,
therefore, deem it proper to call renewed attention to
these Periodicals, and the very low price at which
they are offered TO subscribers. The following is
their list, viz
THE LONDON QUARTERLY REVIEW,
THE EDINBURGH REVIEW,
THE NORTH BRITISH REVIEW,
THE WESTMINSTER REVIEW,
AND
BI.ACKWCOD'S EDINBURGH MAGAZINE.
In these periodicals are contancdt he views, mode

very highest order. The q Westminster though
reprinted under that title only, is published in Eng

and succeeded in getting them all to re-
move, with the exception of portion who
were sick with the measles; and tho: Q
the agent thought it imprudent to remove,
fearing contagion among the other Indians.
They left their planted crops behind,
with no expectation of returning. At one
point on the shore of Lake Superior. there
resides band who have become civilized
throug II the instrumentality of their Mis-
sionary, who do not intend 10 remove.
They have purchased land of the Gov
eminent, and opened extensive farms.
They have relinquished their share of the
annuities to the other bands of the tribe.
Mr.. w. w. Warren was sent, last MAY,
upon the Chippewa river, to collect the
Indians resident there, and remove them.
Instead of starting them forthwith, he adj
vised them to remain until they had gath
cred their crops, and then 60 to the pay
n'ent. This looks very much as though
he had instructions from those whom he
has more interest in serving than he has
the Government ; men whose object it was
to induce the Indians to return to their old
homes after the payment. Their rice and
corn, in accordance with his advice, was
gathered, and securely placed in caches for
winter use; and the Indians are where he
found them, at their old haunts. A por-
ton Of them went sufficiently far towards
Sandy Lake, to meet some of the La
Pointe Indians, on their way thither,
whom they induced to return. Thus
stands Mr.. Warren's branch Of the remo-
val, which, in reality, has "proveda COM
plete failure" Mr.. Watrous will prob
ably be more careful next year in select
ing his assistants.
The recent payment at Sandy Lake
went off with entire satisfaction to the In
dams. There was no complaint among
them whatever and those who had been
removed, were highly pleased at finding
all the tales of suffering and starvation
which had been told them, to induce them
not to remove, were absolute falsehoods.
There was an abundance of provisions and
clothing, and every thing passed off in the
most agreeable manner.

REMOVAL. OF THE CHyPPEwAS.

The first tribe oil Indians has yet to be
removed, in accordance with treaty stipu-
lations, where base and corrupt means
were not used to prevent the Government
carrying out its object. If the Chippe-
wa removal had gone off the past summer
without the interference of that disinter-
ested class Of individuals, connected with
the Indian trade, who are invariably found
on such occasions throwing obstacles in
the way of the government agents, to the
end that they might get fat contracts, or
continue lucrative traffic at the points
from whence the Indians are about to be re-
moved, it would have been an anomaly in
the history of Indian affairs in the United
States. Yet, notwithstanding the exis-
tence Of all these impediments to an extent
with scarcely a parellel-notwithstanding
one of his principal assistants a relative
of the 1ndians) was no doubt deep in the
counsels, if not the pay, of those most in
terested in preventing the removal, Mr.
Watrous has succeeded in accomplishing
the work to degree of completion much
greater than was anticipated by the Mime
sofa SUPPLEMENTARY, or the Department
at Washington. 1t was never expected
that the Chippewas could all be removed
in single summer. Three seasons had
elapsed from the time the Winnebago re.
moval commenced until it was completed,
or regarded as completed, for completed it
never has been, nor never will be.
Most of the bands of Chippewas in
Wisconsin, we assert positively, have been
removed the past season TO Sandy Lake.
Mr.. Beauleu took the northern bands,
at Lake La Flambeau and that vicinity.
