JAMES MONKOE WESTERN SCENERY. FROM THE ST. LOl'IS ENQJ'IItEJl. "The Falls of St. Anthony are in north atitude 44,' and received their name from Father Louis Hennipin, a French mis- lonary, who travelled into those parts a-- ut the year 1080, and was, the first uropean ever seen there by the iitiv. The Mississippi here falls in a body, a txiut thirty feet from the edg of a rock which crosses its channel, and the rapid below, in a course of three hundred yards, increases the descent so much, that at a. distance they seem to be much higher than they really are. "' " , " Ihe country about them is extreme ly beautiful. It is not an uninterrupted plain, where the eye finds no relief, but composed of many gentle ascents, which, in the summer, are covered with the fin est verdure, and interspersed with groves of trees, that give a pleasing variety to the prospect . On the whole, when the falls are included, which may be seen at a distance of four miles, a more pleasing and picturesque view cannot, I... believe, be found througliout the universe. I could have wished to have enjoyed, this glorious sight at a more seasonable time of the y ear, when the trees and hills wele clad in nature's gayest livery, as tlnY must greatly have added to the pleasure I j reCeived.,? Carver. i j The Falls of St. 'Anthony belong to the .United States. The late Gen. Pike i purchased them and a district of country j ten miles square, of which they are the! centre, in the year 1 SQ5. He made this purchase with the eye of a military man, as a commanding position for an Ameri can I ort. I he present administration has realized his plan, by directing a Fort to be built at the mouth of the St. Pierre, which enters the Mississippi just under the Falls. Those who know something of the Geography of their country, will -ee the propriety of this establishment. It tiroes to set up the American-power in thejrieichboihbod of many poweiful In-! dian tribes ' which have heretofore beerf i ' - . t under the exclusive influence of the brit-i - t r- -ntn.-J :. ' ..4. J isn x ur companies. 4. e gan iuu ai me Falls will have a ready access into tlie heart of the countries occupied by these tribes, by threejuistinct channels of comj. munication : Northwardly, by tlie,MissisT sippi, which is " navigable six hundred miles above the falls, and on the banks of which are the towns of a part of the Si oux. 2. To the north-west, by the river , Sti Pieire, which is navigable four .hun dred and eighty miles, to its source in the Stone Lake, and which runs through th territory of the Sioux. Tdthe north-east: by the river St. Croix, which is a narrow lake for mdnv miles, loinmg the Missis sippi a little below the Falls, and commu- Fnicatlng with Lake Superior by a portage of half a mile, and upon wmcii is suuaieu the towns of the Chipewas. It is desira ble that the American government should not limit their views to the estab lishment of a military post ai the Falls of St. Anthony, but that they will send a ci vil establishment to the same place, and make it the seat -of government? for the North-Western Territory. The civil of ficers, in addition to their ordinary duties, might be cliarged with the counteraction of the British influence which has so long prevailed there, with tbe civUization of the Indians, which is now becoming an object of national conceru ; and with the exploration of the copper mines which lie between the Mississippi and Lake Su perior, and which have been so Jong and sd unaccountably neglected by the Amer ican government.
