AND ITS DELTA. 1ST 



A Chart of the alluvial country is a desideratum, with which 

 it is to be hoped the curious will in due time be obliged, under 

 the present enlightened government: a correct sketch of the va- 

 rious reservoirs and canals which this great river has formed for 

 the reception and disemboguement of its immense volume of 

 waters, will become the basis of the vast improvements which 

 at a future day will be made upon this inestimable portion of 

 the United States.
