 of Ihe American Philosophical Sociely, 

 and of the Academy of Natural Sci('iiccs. 

 lias lately published a Joiirriui of his 

 'J'ravels info Ihe Arkansa Territory. Ilis 

 l>iime object was to furiiish a sketch of 

 the natural liisloiy uf the eodntries wa- 

 tered by the riser Arkansa, pn-Vious ti. 

 ifs joiniuj the Mississippi. This last 

 forms an extraordinary basin, conipre- 

 liendiDg; a vast led of waters, in a 

 channel strikinj;ly grand, and throiijih a 

 rich variety of scenery. It receives a 

 number oi' tributary currents, some as. 

 lar^e as the Danube, before its (iiliix 

 into the Guljih ot Mexico. It extends 

 from (he Alleirany and Apalaeliiaii 

 mouniains, which border on the ancient 

 territory of the United Slales, to thi- 

 rocky monnfains that separate it from 

 New Mexico, ami from theotlier regions 

 alons that side of the Cofilitienf. 'I'he 

 whole of this tract, formerly occii[)ied 

 l>y numerous tribes of natives, is now 

 replenished with Flnropoan es(.iblis!i-

 coiinneiice of the ?tIonotiga!iela and the

 from all the eastern e<i!iiitries, and it is 

 considered as an entre| 6l for llio.e
