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.
I his work will be prepared
by captain Meriwether Lewis,
and will be divided into two
parts, the whole comprised in
Three Volumes, octavo, con
tainining from four to five
hundred pages, each; printed
on good paper, and a fair Pica
type. The 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 tlie First — in Two 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
a view of the great Cataract of
the Missouri, the plan, on a large
scale, of the connected falls of
that river, as also, of those of
the falls, narrows and great ra
pids of the Columbia, with their
several portages. For the in
formation of 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

cess, together with an itinerancy
of the most direct and practica
ble route across the continent ol
North America, from the con
fhience of the Mis ouri 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 the
rivers, mountains, climate, soil
and 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 of civilizing,
governing, and maintaining a
friendly intercourse with those
nations. A view of the fur trade
of North America, setting forth a
plan lor its extension, and shew
ing theirnmenseadvantages wltielt
would acerue to tlie mercantile
interests of the United States, by
combining the same with a direct
trade to the East Indies, through
the continent of North America.
This volume will be embellished
with a number of plates, illustra
tive of the dress and general ap- j
pearance of such Indian nations as
cutler materially from each other; j
of their habitations, their wea
pons and habiliments used in war; I
their hunting and fishing apjfara- I
tus, domestic utensils, &e. Jn
an appendix there will also be gi
ven a diary of tlie weather, kept
with great attention throughout
tlie whole of ihe voyage, shew”
mg also the daily rise and fail of
the principal water-courses which
were navigated in the Course ot
the sasie.
Part the second —in one Volume.
This part of the work will he
confined exclusively to scientific
research, mid principally to the
natural history of those hitherto
‘'•l O N T D A Y, May 4, 1807.
unknown regions. It will con
tain a full dissertation on such
subjects as have fallen within the
notice of the author, and which
may properly be distributed un
der the heads of botany, mineral
ogy, and zoology, together with
some strictures 011 the origin ol
the Prairies, the cause of the mud
diness of the Missouri, of volca
nic appearances, and natural phe
nomena, which wcr.v 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 captain*
Lewis and Clark on the voyage,
and will be ornamented and em
bellished with a much greater
number of plates than will he 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
it.
This distribution of the work
has been made with a view to the
accommodation of every dcscrip”
tion of readers, and is here offer
ed to the patronage of tlie 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,
as soon as a sufficient number of
subscribers can be obtained to de
fray the expence,

fic Ocean, and between 36 deg.

Embracing all their late disco
veries, and that part of the conti
nent heretofore the least known.
This map will be compiled from
the best maps now extant as well
published as in manuscript, from
the collective inlormation of the
best informed travellers through
the various portions of that regi
on, and corrected by a series of
several lmndred celestial obser
vations, made by capt. Lewis du
ring his late tour.
f or t he 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
state.? and territories within the
union; No advance is required,
nor will payment be required un
til such delivery is made.
Knowing that a considerable
proportion of the expence of such
publications depends on the en
gravings which embellish or form
them, and that the precise num
ber of such engravings, particu
larly as it regards the second
of the work, have not yet been
settled: it is difficult tor the author
at this moment to fix a price on
them—he therefore declares to
the public, that his late voyage
was not taken with a -view to pe
cuniary’ advantages, and pledges >
himself that the estimate vhicli ;
lie will in this instance set on lus \
literary labours,shall be of the most j
moderate description; bis princi- \
pal reason indeed tor proposing j
a subscription at all, is, that he j
may be enabled to form some es- i
innate of the number of copies I
to be struck olf.

OF THE GRAND ARMY.
Prussian Eylau, Feb. 14.
Ihe enemy has taken a posh,

patioles are before Kontgsberg,
but the emperor has thought
proper to concentrate his armv
in winter quarters, in such a
manner that it may he in a con
dition to cover the line of the
Vistula. The number of can
non which have been taken since
the battle ol Hergfried is about
60. Ihe twenty-four pieces
which the enemy left behind in
the battle of E\ lau arc sent to
I’horn. TJie enemy have circu
lated the subjoined report, which
is entirely false They attacked
the town, but were immediately
driven back. They acknowledge
20,000 men killed and wounded
but their lOS3 is much greater,
Their capture of 9 Eagles is no
less false than the account of
their taking- possession of the
town.—The Grand Duke of Berg
stili has his head quarters at
YVirtemberg, close upon the Pre
gel.—General Haultpoh, has
died of his wounds ; his loss is
generally deplored ; but few
•warriors have terminated their
career so gloriously, fiis divi
sion of cuirassiers has distin
guished itself in all the battles.
I he Emperor has given orders
lor removing his hotly to Paris.
Ihe bai-rrl ul iingiv •
di-Saint Sulpice who was wound
ed in the wrist, refused to go to
the field hospital in the rear, to
be dressed, but made a second
charge on the enemy with Ills ca
valry. His majesty is so well
pleased with his conduct, that he
has appointed him a General of
Division. On the lUih marshall
Lelcbvrc advanced to Mancn

Prussian squadrons ; he defeated j
them, and made prisoners of sou j
men among whom arc a colonel !

Those who escaped fled towards

Landsburgh, Feb. 18.
T he battle of Eylau was at
brft conhdered as a vifcfory by
levcral of the enemy’s officers.
Such indeed, was the belief at
Koningfberg, during the whole
evening of the 9 ih: but the
alarm was great whed the Rus
lian head quarters and ihe at
my arrived there. Soon after
our cannon was heard, and
the French were seen in the
possession of a height, which
flanked the whole of the Ruf
fian troops.
The Ruflian General de
clared that he ,would defend
the town, which greatly in
creased ihe alarm of the in
habitants, who said “ we fiiall
fharcthe'fate of Lubeck.” It
was fortunate, however, for
this town, that it did not come
within ihe plan of the French
Generals to drive the Ruffians
from this position.

Rnflian army, iruJenetals and
other officers, ’ Ary remaili

In consequence of the battle
of Eylau, more than .5000
wounded Ruffians, found on
the field of bairie, or in the
j neighbouring hoipitals, have
fallen into the hands of the
vittors. Part of them are
since dead. The remainder,
who were slightly wounded,
have increased the number of
prisoners. Fifteen hundred
have been sent back to the
Ruffian army. It is reckon
