NEW.YORK, March 18.
Messrs, Lang is? Turner.
Bv giving a few insertions to
the following, you will render an
essential service to shippers and
ship-owners who have their ves
sels in the Baltic trade: Those
who already experienced the con
sequences of not conforming with
the quarantine laws in Denmaik,
need not a re-perusal of this. —
The publication is intended to
prevent future losses.

Danish Consul, 4
Nero York. J
u As the same degree with
which vessels proceeding from
the U. States to Danish ports
are liable to threaten the public
state of health, in no less degree
exists with those bound to oilier
ports on the Baltic. His majes
ty’s government has invited the
neighboring powers to adopt si
mitar precautions with vessels
bound front the United States 10
any of their respective ports, as
by r the royal ordinance of the
15th M ay, 1805, has been pre
scribed for Danish vessels as
well as others proceeding from
the U. S. for any Danish port. —
It has in consequence thereof
been agreed between his majes
ty’s government and the govern
ments of Sweden, Russia, and
Prussia, that consular certifi
cates shall henceforth be furnish
ed cither by Danish consuls 01
vice consuls, where those powers
themselves have no commercial
agents, or bv theirs, vice versa,
where no Danish consul or vice
con >ul resides.
Any vessel, therefore, to what,
evei nation u may belong, which
after public notice has been giv
en of ilns ai rarigement, shall pro
ceed irom the United State* to
any Danish port, or to any port
on the Baltic, without being pro
vided with a consular ceitificate
of health, will absolutely, on its
arrival at the sound, or its port
cl destination, if not bound to
die Baltic, be- subjected to qua
taniiiie lor a longer or shorter
time, according to circumstances
even it it should be provided with
clean bills ot health irom the ie
tpeciive audio. itics.”

This work will be prepared
by captain Meriwether Lewis,
and will be divided into two
parts, the whole comprised in
’] hree Volt imes, octavo, con
tainining from four to five
hundred pages, each; printed
on good paper, and a fair Pica
tvpe. ihe several vol
umes in succession will
be put to press at as early’
periods as the avocations of
the author will permit him to
prepare them for publication.
Part the First — in Izu s Volumes.
Volume first— -Will contain
a narrative of the voyage,with a
description of some of the most
remarkable places in those hi
therto unknown wilds of Ame
rica. accompanied by a Map of

pids of the Columbia, with their
several portages. For the in
formarion qf future voyagers,
there will be added in the sequel
of this volume, some observati
ons and remarks on the naviga
tio of the Missouri and Colum
bia rivers, pointing out the pre.
cautions which must necessarily
be taken, in order to insure suc
cess, together with an itinerancy
of the most direct and practica
ble route across the continent ot
North America, from the con
fluence of the Missouri and Mis
sissipi rivers to the discharge
of the Columbia into the Pacific
ocean.
Volume second —Whatever
properly appertains to geography
—embracing a description of die
livers, mountains, climate, soil
arid face of the country; a view
of the Indian nations distributed
over that vast region, shewing
their traditions, habits, manners, >
customs, national character, sta
ture, complexions, dress, dwel
lings, arms, and domestic uten
sils, with many other interesting
particulars in relation to them —
Also, observations and reflecti
ons on the subjects ol civilizing,
governing, and nminiaini-ig a
tneudly intercourse with those
nations. A view of the fur trade

plan for its extension, and shew
ing theimmense advantages which
would accrue to the mercantile
interests of the United States, by
combining the sane with ;t direct
trade to the East Indies, tinougii
the continent of North America.
This volume will be embellished
with a number ot plates, illustra
tive ol the dress and general ap- 1
pearauce ot such Indian nations as j
differ materially from each other; !
of their habitations, their we a- |
pons and habiliments used in uar; J
their hunting and fishing appara- j
tus, domestic utensils, ike. in
an appendix there will also be gi
ven a diary ot the weather, kept
with great attention throughout
the wi.ole ot the voyage, shew*
ing also the daily rise and fall of
Cue principal water-courses which
were navigated in the course of
uro same.
Part the second—in one Volume.
This part of the work will be
confined exclusively to scientific i
icsearcli, and principally to ‘he !
natural history ot those iiithert , j
unknown regions. It will con
tain a full dissertation on such
subjects as have fallen within the
notice of the author, anti which
mav properly be distributed un
der the heads of botany, mineral
ogy, and zoology, together with
some strictures on the origin of
the Prairies, the cause of the mud.
diness of the Missouri, of volca
nic appearances, and natural phe
nomena, which were met with in
the course of this interesting tour
This volume will also contain a
comparative view of twenty-three
vocabularies of distinct Indian
languages, procured by captains
Lewis and Clark on the voyage,
and will be ornamented and em
bellished with a much greater
number of plate* than will be be
stowed on the first part of the
work, as it i* intended that every
subject of natural history which
is entirely new, and of which
there are a considerable number,
shall be accompanied by an ap
propriate engraving illustrative of
u.
This distribution of the work
has been made with a view to the
accommodation of every descrip
tion of readers, and is here offer
ed to the patronage of the public
in such shape, that all persons
wishing to become subscribers,
may accommodate themselves
with either of the parts, or the
entire work, as it shall be most
convenient to themselves.
Detached from this work there
will be published on a large scale,
a soon as a sufficient number of
subscribers can be obtained 10 de
tray the expence,

MAP of NOR TH AMERICA.
From long. 9 deg. W. to the Paci
fic Ocean, and between 35 deg.
and 5 2 PI. fat.
Embracing all their late disco,
veries, and that part of the conti
nent heretofore the least known.
‘Phis map will be compiled from
the best maps now extant as well
published as in manuscript, from
the collective information of the
best informed travellers through
the various portions of that regi
on, and corrected by a series of
several hundred celestial obser
vations, made by capt. Lewis du
ring his late tour.
For the convenience of subscri
bers, these works will be deliver
ed at the most respectable com
mercial towns, and at the seats of
government of the respective
states and territories within the
union: No advance is required,
nor will payment be required un
til such ileiiveiy is made.
Knowing that a considerable
proportion of the expence of such
publications depends on the eu
uravings which embellish or form
them, and that the precise num
ber of such engravings, particu
larly as it regards die second pari
of the work, have not yet been
settled; it is difficult lor the author
at this moment to fix a price ou
them —he therefore declares to
the public, mat lus late voyage
was not taken with a view to pe
cuniary advantages, and pledges
himself that tne estimate winch
he will in this instance set on his
literary labours,shall be of the most
moderate description; his princi
pal reason indeed for proposing
a subscription at all, is, that he
may be enabled to form some es
timate of the number of copies
to be struck off'.

the United States, disposed to aid ,
tin! publication of tins work, are
requested to give the foregoing a
few insertions.
