more unreasonable than the restinc

flioukl we think of a trader, w ho, hav
ing a wholesale establishment, and
hence supplying all the shops ol
listrict, should stop up all the roads,
and prohibit the retailers, whom he
supplied, from all access to their cus
tomers—could he reus oil" ably expect
that his custom could .continue Irom
the retailers, when he hud thus cu
off from these retailers their cus
tomers ? could he expect that they
should continue to buy from him
what he would not permit them to
sell to others ? Yet has not such

The wholesale dealer has become
jealous of the retailer’s profiits and
rosperous commerce, an<J under
this impression not seeing that the
prosperity of the retailer was inti
mutely connected with his own, lias
acted in the spirit of a narrow jea
lousy, and endeavoured to demolish
he retailer, or at least to check his
trade.—Such is the basis ol oifr or
ders of council. As to the right ol
search, it is founded on equally ab
surd principles—it is an extension ot
the principle of blockade and contra
band from a single point of siege to a
nation. Where an army is besieg

cessarily defeat the purpose ol the
siege and the just end of the war ; the

Boons’s settlement, and near the lit
tle village called Charette. I am in*
iorined that the territory of Louisi
ana is-portioned out in six d siricts ;
St. Charles is the uppermost com
prehending that immense tract of
ountry west of the Mississippi, and
lorth of the Missouri ; the tide of
emigration appears to direct itself
to this highly favoured' spot, and in
deed we are not surprised that the
farmers of the United States bend
their attention this way, as every ad
vantage both of soil and.cliinate, ren
ders it f..r-preferable to Kentucky os
Ohio.
From the Charettc village to the
Osage river we experienced nothing
very extraordinary ; having agreed to
wait here for the party, we took ad
vantage ofjthe delay, to saunter over
the country ; this place is said to be
about 40 miles from the frontiers, al
though there is a smhll village oppo
site its mouth, on the north side of
the Missouri, in a.beautil’ul rich prai

grants from below, principally French j
people raise a sufficiency of
grain for the consumption of the set
tlement, and employ the balance of
their time in hunting and trading
with surrounding ndiuns. 'The U-
s!t§e river, situate on the south side*
from its magnitude at the mouth,
forms an important appendage to
this country ; I was informed that
boats ascended to thc old Indian vil*
iagfcs about 100 miles up; its waters
are pure, gentle and well tasted ; its
banks discover to the naked eye tho
riches i.t possesses : Iron Ore of the
best kind covers a great portion of
its surface. Here the botanist could
enjoy a fealt; the Savannas filled with
innumerable plants pregnant with all
the sweets the Florist could desire ;
the lovers of hunting could not fall
