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 -.. I i- tn suc 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, ’.r Clark’ MAP of NORTH AMERICA. From long. 9 deg. IV. to the Paci fic Ocean, and between 36 deg. and 5 2 N. /at. 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. *** Editors of Public Prints iir the United States, disputed to aid j the publication of this work, are j requested to give the foregoing a ‘ icw insertions. j Blank Manifests &c. i For Sale at this Office.

Sixty-First Bulletin. 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. ihe number of dead in the Rnflian army, iruJenetals and other officers, ’ Ary remaili able. 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 ed that the Ruffians hau i/:. •jy 000 wounded, besides tlide 5000 which fell into the hands of the French. The army has refumcd its j quarters.
