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.” *** 1 he Pi niters throughout the states are requested to give hi above a tew instruoi.c. r H U R S D A Y, April 30, 1807. PROSPECTUS Os Lewis and Clark’s tour to the Pacific Ocean, through the interior of the continent of North America, performed by order of the Government cf the United States, during the years 1804, 1805 & 1806. 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 good size, ana embellished with aviewot the great Cataract of the Missouri, the plan, c a large scale, of the connected falls of tha. liver, as also, of those of the falls, narrows and great ra 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 of North America, setting forth a 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, Lewis & Clark’s 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'.
