It is evident that the queen is rising in estta&tioii every day ; and private' letter declare, that whenever the king nppears in public he is hooted and hissed at, and that he is seriously alarmed at the "igus of the times." It is stated that 200 Hanoverian fronn

If this is true, and it has the aplieiance of being so, it would lead us fo suppose that the king cannot relv tipon his British troopsyet we should believe that the introduction of foreigners to act as his body guard, would cause a great ferment. STiVs. EXPLORING EXPEDITION N. XV. From the Detroit Gazettof Sept. 15. Last Friday evening governor Cass mnived here from Chicago, accompanied by lieu t. JM'Kaj jand expedition all in good health. We understand that the objects of the .expedition have been successfully accomplished. The party ha traversed 4,(MV.) miles of this frontier since the last of May. Their route was from this place to Michiliirnacinac, and to the tauth of St Mary's, where a treaty was concluded with the Chippeways, for the Cession of a tract of land, with a view iy the establishment of a military post. Tii-ey whence coasted the southern shore of Lake Superior to the Pond du Lac, ascended the St. Louis river to one of its sources, and descended a small tribwtarv stream to Sandy Lake to the Mississippi. Thev then ascended tliis Jatitr river to the Upper Red Cedar Lake, tvhich may lC considered as the principal sottrce of the Mississippi, and which is the refwrvoir where the small streams forming the river unite. From this lake her descended between thirteen and f,ulte'2a hundred miles to Prairie du ChiVii, passing by the post o,r St. Peter's on the route. They then navigated the Ouisconsin to the portage, entered the i'oK river, and descended it to Green Slav. Then the party separated in order to obtain a topographical sketch of akc Michigan Some of them coasted the northern shore to MichiMimackinac, and the other took the route by Chicayp. From this point they will traverse the eastern shore of the lake to Miehillimackinac, and miy bs expected here in the course of a week. Gov. Ca returned from Chicago by land. A correct topographical delineation of this extnns frontier may now be expected tVom the acourare obseivations of capt. Dulas.whoi fully competent to nei -fBrinthe task. We have heretofore remained in isnorance upon this object, and verv little has been added to the tock of geographical knowledge, since the French possessed ihc country.

a military point of vie-.v, has not escaped the observation of Mr. Calhoun, and it was for this purpose, that a treaty was directed to be hold. The report which he made to the house of representatives in January last, contains his views upon

the subject. We cannot but hope that no reduction will be made in the rank? of the army. It is by physical force alone, and by a proper display of it, that we must expect to keep within reasonable bounds, the ardent, restless and discontented savage, by whom this whole country is filled and surrounded. Few persons living at a distance, are aware of the

mpans which are ued, and too successfully used by the British agents, to embitter the minds of the Indians, and preserve such an influence over them, as will ensure their co-operation, in the event or any future difficulties A post at the Fond du Lac, will before lonjj;, be necessary, and it is now proper that one

passing thro this town on their route to

some point on the Arkansas not as yet particularly designated. They will remain for the winter on that river, till the part of the country intended by the general government for their use, shall be set apart. The tribe is said to be about

SCO strong. While thesw Indians were

passing tins place, curiosity Isd some of

them into a smith-shop at the time the snaith had the barrel of a rifle gun in his

five, the barrel, unknown to the smith.,

had been for some time charged. At

the instant an Indian was going out of

the shop door, the ball from the barrel was lodged in his back, and in a few

hours terminated his existence. He was an Indian of some distinction among the

tribe, and his death created some dis satisfaction until th Governor in com

pany with some other gentlemen, explained to the chief the cause of the ac

cident. Captain Cowles' Company, with

some of the field and stall officers of

this regiment, accompanied his burial

with the honors n" war. At this niaik

of attention the c 'T .f and principal In

dians expressed their thanks, and their

entire reconciliation to the accident.

It is much to be hoped that this, with

many other accidents which have oc

curred bv the carelessness ol smith's in

heating old gun barrels that have re

mained for years loaded, will at least be

a warning to those who handle old gun

barrels in this way, and to those who

may have occasion to visit their shops at sucii times 1 By such want of attention, one of our best citizens, might have met

The opposition of the crowned heads

in Europe t the revolutions in Spain cv

Frederick, King of Prussia, to Doctor

Franklin, who bad asked for his assist

Franklin "that freedom which is the birth" right of man ! Frederick' then made answer, 4il was born a Prince, I am be

er I posses to the ruin of my oven trade.11

is the veneration for his name and character, that both Housis of the General

Assembly of this state, upon information of his death being communicated,

resolved to wear crape on the left arm

for 20 days, as a token of regard and

respect for his memory. His wife died about seven years since.
