All persons ate warned against tra ding for a note of hand, given by m io Moses M’Carter, for seven dol lars, as I do not think myself liabl to pay its amount, since there is prooi that it was obtained by Jaaud : This will be shewn when I am called up It has ever been our opinion tha he English ministry have not con hfeted themselves wisely toward America, and that nothing can In more unreasonable than the restinc 'lions on their commerce. What 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 been our conduct towards. America t 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 ing a city, the supply ot it must ne cessarily defeat the purpose ol the siege and the just end of the war ; the icsieging army, therefore, has an un doubted right to prevent such a sup- Samuel W. Minor 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 rie ; the inhabitants consist of emi 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 yf finding on thisj-iver plenty of a- musemeot, for I am sure no place f have yet seen can equal it for 6sb and wildfowl. Mine river empties itself into the Missouri/ a few leagues above, is navigable for small craft up to the Suit Works ; there are; two establish ments here ; and I am informed two Hundred kettles are constantly em ployed in making salt; a gentleman who rode over the country where these salt licks abound, says, 10,000 kettles might be employed, as strong water springs are numerous in eve ry direction.
