PROSPECTUS Os Lewis and Clark’s tour to the Pacific Ocean, through the inferior of the continent of North America, performed by order of the Government ot the United States, during the years 1304, 1805 Sc 1806. and his work will be prepared by captain Meriwether Lewis, and will be divided in v o two parts, the whole corrpi Led in Three Volumes, octavo, con tainining from lour to five hundred pages, each; printed on good paper, and a fair Pica t\pe. 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 Ttvo Volumes. Volume first —Will contain * narrative of the \oyace,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 tha . 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 fee added in the sequel of this volume, some observati ons and lerttaiks on the naviga tion of'he 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 ol North America, from the con fluence of the Missouri and Mis sis.sipi rivers to the discharge of the Columbia into the Pacific ocean. Volume second —Whatever properly appertains to geography —embracing a description ot the rivers, mountains, climate, soil and face of the country; a view i 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 Irter.tily intercourse with those nations. A view of tile lur tcada ot North America, setting forth a plan for its extension, and shew ing me immense advantages which would accrue to the mercantile interests of tins United States, by combining the s.mie with a direct trade to the East Indies, through the continent of North America. Tins volume will be embellished with a number of plates, illustra | tire of the dress and general ap pearance of such Indian nations as dtller materially from each other; of their habitations, their wea pons and habiliments used in war; their hunt mg and fishing appara tus, domestic utensils, &c. In an appendix there will also be gi ven a diary of tire v.ea her, kept with great attention throughout tile whole of Ihe voyage, shew ing also tlfe daily rise and fall of the principal water courses which vvete navigated in the course of tlie same. Part the second—in one Volume. Tins part of the work w ill be confined exclusively to scitnitric research, and principally to be na'tnral htatory of those h.thefio 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 on the origin ol 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 plates than will be be stowed on the first part of the work, as it is intended that every subject of natural history which is entirely new, and of which thei ’ 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 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 cither of the parts, or the entire work, as it shall be most convenient to themselves.

From long. 9 deg. IV. to the Paci fic Ocean, and between 36 deg’ arid 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 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 toiv ns, and at the seats of government of the respective states and teriitories within the union; No advance is required, nor will payment be required un til such delivery is made. Knowing tii.it a considerable proportion of the ex pence of such publications depends on the en gravings which embellish or form them, and that the precise uum. her of such engravings, particu larly as it regards the second part of the work, have not yet been settled; it is difficult lor the author at this moment to fix a (trice oti them —he therefore declares 10 tiie public, that his late voyage was not taken with a view to pe cuniary advantages, and pledges himself that the estimate which the will in this nuances set on Ins literary labours,shall be of the most moderate description; Ins princi pal reason indeed lor proposing •a subscription at all, is, tiiat he may he enabled to iorui some is uuiate of the number of copies to be strut k off, *** Editors of Public Prints in ti e United States, disposed to aid the publication oi tins work, are requested to give the fortuoww a lew insertions Sheriff’s Blank l ilies Tar file cl this Office. ‘Whole Number 262. IMPORTANT DECISION Supreme Court of the U. States February ‘Perm, 130". Rhinelander vs. Insurance Company of Pennsylvania. This was an action oaon a po licy of insurance upon *c freight of the ship Manhattan, from N. York to Batavia, &c. and back. It was tried in October sessions of the circuit court for the Penn sylvania district anti a verdict found for the plaintiff, subject to the opinion of the court upon % case stated ; which case was ad jouined ftom the circuit to the supreme court *nd now come on to be heard. The case stated the Manhattan to be a neutral ship. Oil her return voyage, or* the 1 Oili February 1805, she was captund by the ii/itish frigate Busy William^— the mate and Si of the crew wcife taken out, and two British otiicJVs and 14 sailora put on board, and she was order ed to Bermuda. Ou the same day, the mate was put, by tha captors on-board a vessel bou'. J for New-York, where he arrived outlie 26th February. Ihe own era being inloriacd of the cap. ture, ou SU #f .March, claimed total loss by reason of the cap ture, aud offered 10 abandon. On 2,1 Apia payment was demand ed ol the office and refused. On the 6th juu the uctioq wa* brought. The vessel, after being cant ed into Bermuda, was libelled as pi ize. On the 2(Xh April vessel and cargo was acquired aud re stitution ordered. From trie sen tence so far as respected ihe car go, the captors appealed, which appeal is *'ill 1 he cargo was ordered Ur be deliver ed to the owners On their giving security. On the Btti May, se curity was tuicicd,and this was kuowtiioihe owners before ac tion brought ;buc the captain dih nut take actual posseas.ou of ship till Uth June. The own ers applied to the office for coun ter sccuiity, which was refused. The questiou referred by the cuse to the court was, whether the plaintiff is cutidtd to recover lor a total loss. Kawlc and Lewis argued for the defendants, Ist. That the stooping of the Manhattan on the. 10th February, uy the Busy WiL iiam, iud otderiug her to Ber muda, did not commute a ios., so as to authorise an abandon* meat. It was not a capture by au enemy, but merely stopping on the high seas of a neutral by a belligerent for starch, and u sending in lor further examina tion. As the abandonment was made on the information of this taking only, without any know ledge of the subsequent proceed ings, as it. was made for this cause only ; as this cause did not authorise 11 —and as uu eitncr ü baudouincQt has been since made the subsequent transactions can not relate uack ..o as to give toe plaintiffs a 1 igt*i against the un der winds. 2d i'l c mere institution of jud.ual proceedings ug.uust a litstili. vcssc., cn.css loitoWeii by coiihemuA.ion, gave 11 „ ngut iu abandon. bd.
