June 11, fays—“ I have no
thing more important to com
municate, than the pleasing in- (
telligence of the bed profpe&s
of cotton, rice, and “provisions
generally, ever witnessed at any

great crops will enable the plan

A London paper of May 13
mentions that a treaty offend vi
and deferfive between Great
Britain and Ruffiahas been rati
fied ; but that it is said to .be
dogged by such conditions as
nearly nullify it. It provides
for negotiation in the did in
stance ; and a Ruffian Minister
is dated to have gone to M ian
to offer the emperor of Ruflia’s
mediation to Bonaparte, with
the scheme of pacification.
Ex trail of a letter from Mr. Ben
jamin Allen , who removed from
Woodstock the past year > to his
friends in said town, dated at
St. Charles Diftrift, (Upper
Louisiana) March 13, 1805.
ct When I arrived at this place
I found mod of our friends in
health, but fome of them hive
been sick more than half their
time since they came here.-
4
You wanted me to give you my
opinion of this country, and ad
vice reipedung your coming
here ; which I will endeavor to
do according to the bed of my
judgment, impartially . The ac
counts which you have hereto
fore had of this country, were
but a romance. —One third of
this land is calculated for the
fined of farms ; one third may
be fettled, but timber and water
are lacking; the other third
can never be fettled for want of
timber, having too much water.
There have been fix weeks of
good fltdding since I came here :
the river catted Greaver, has
been frozen over ten weeks,
pafiable for horses. I think
that hay is very needful here,
and we have the bed of grass,
as good as that by the name ot
coarfc timothy. The inhabi
tants tell me this has been an
uncommon winter for snow and
cold weather. This is a fine
country to raise the bed of cat
tle, but it requires induttry.—
I think, that if one of your good
farmers was here and could en
joy his health, he would gun
property very fad; for the
fame labor that you take to
gain 10 dollars, we can gain 20.
It has been laid, people can live
here with very brrle labor: I
grant it, but they mud live poor
and dress ragged, for the want
of health prevents the;r labor
i; a great decree. As for v.iut
coming here, I can lay no more
than this, that I, advise every
one who has a farm & alarge fa
mily, to be contented to keep it;
but a young man with a final!
family, can do well here provi
ded he has his health. I can
buy land, e ; gbt or ten miles
from this place, for fifty cents
per acre, lying on the frontiers;
but the Indians have been mif
chieveus there ; lad September,
a young man and three boys
went into the woods after their
horses, an<J found them, and
on their return were fired upon
by Indians hid by the path, who
killed the orv, j. and one horse,
and afterward mapped the gun
at . - Vj man, but miffed
fire, ana *e elcaped. There
has since been a treaty conclu
ded with them ; it took place
about ten miles from this place.
People who to this coun
try formerly, luflered greatly
tor want of proper antidotes
against she prevailing sickness
“peculiar to this place, viz. Pe
ruvian Lv . k, camphire, gum and
• meric tartar, which articles be
ing extremely dear; whoever
thinks belt to come will do well
to bring large quantities of such
medicine. Bark and camphire
are felling for 2.5 dollars per
ounce, tartar 50 cents per puke.
Pork and beef are 5 dollars per
cwt. butter 25 cents per lb. fait
5 dollars for 50 ib.—The rea
lon why produce is so high is,
the old settlers are so lazy they
will not work, which is to the
great advantage of those who
will. V T <* find great advantages
anfing; £rc:n be...g annexed to
the United States ; all imported
necessaries come cheaper, and
the government more agreeable
—we dill hope for better times;
were it not for this we fliould
fink into despondency. This
country lies 20 miles from the
Gale, where there is an old
wind-mill. The name of the
town is Little Cout; the fird
American court fat there since
I came here—their lawyer serves
for clerk and lawyer too. This
is as large a town as Windsor,
and beautiful in firuarion.”
