Vnttotn jthistime the wind, which had beeXhtgh during the day, now freshened into ff gale the flames soon crossed to the wester ; ly side of Hammond street, and shortly after the entire row fronting on Perry . street and extending oil the way 10 Washington street, comprising akogeth j er four squares, was in a blaze. Laneuaire can scarcely describe the h b r - , .-. I scene o! contusion and consternation at i. . , , , r ... this moment hundreds of families who i . , , c . ,nr.aa supposed by them to be secure, were now seen flying in every direction before the fury of the all absorbing element: in many instances furniture, after being removed, was destroyed by fire. Phmugh the dense cloud of smoke and bu-ning cinders, children, half njked were to be seen running to and fro, crying for their parents, and parents in despair shrieking the names ot their chil drcn! The destruction of property during this appalling scene, must have been immense, and the extent of suffering and distress in consequence, incalculable The fire had not bten ai rested at t'ie time our informant left; but, frcm the & batcmem of the wind, together with a full supply or water in constant play, at .tie corner of Perry and Washington streets, it is supposed i s progress would be effectually stdpptidat that point. Plack Hawk and'ls son t!ie Prophet and his son, and the 'tether Itidian hosta ij-js surrendered under the late treaty, w aittd on the president yesterday, to ie ccive his otders The president met them kindly. He directed the articles of dress provided for them to be exhibited to them, and told the principal chief that the whole wculd be delivered to him to be distributed with a view to their com j men interest that they must repair i mediately to Fort Monroe, and remain there contented, until he jrave them per mission to return 'o their homes that the term of their detention depended upon the conduct of their respective tribes and that they would not be restored to their families until it wes ascertained that the stipulations of the treaty lud been complied with by their people, and all the bad feeling which hatt led o the v scenes on .he frontier banished. The Prophet replied to the president, ..eal said, that they expected to be per notted o return immediately to their people; that the war in which they, baa ie: m involved, grew outof thcifatnpi to raise provisions, where the y sdppJSsd they had a riHit to do so; that theys-oi :ost many of their people, as v;-iraMTie whites; that their tribes and families were exposed to the attacks of their en emies, the Sioux and Merominees, and that they hoped to be permitted to return to take care ot them. B ack Hawk added to the remarks of the Prophet, that they considered, that, t'ke Keokuck, they had come to tisit the president, anJ, like him, would bo permitted to return to their homes. He en erred into some brict explanation of the cause of the aggressions on the fmntiei. The president told them in conclusion that he was well apprized of thecirrumstanc s winch led to the disjstcrs al ai ded to that it was unnecessary to look iack to them it was his purpose now to cuie the Vtbervance of peace to prevent the Irontiers fiom being again stain ed with the blood ot its inhabitants, the neaeet'ul and 'he helpless: That they need feel no uneasiness abaut their own women r.nd children they shou'd not -uffer from their rncmirs, the Sioux tvi Menominies. He meant to compel tt.c red men to be at peace with each othci, .,h well as with their white neighbors Thai he had tsken measures with tins view, and when it was ascertained that they vere effectual when the tribes had learned that the power they attempted to contend with, was equally able and dis posed to.protcct the p acefui, aod pun ish the violence of aggressors when ids information assured him that their pco pie in pauiculai-, were convinced of this, md were disposed quietly and in good! fait a to observe the terms of peace ' cu inc n ll,en ncy wouui ne it 1 . i .t Ilk stored to their 'amities.

The tils t volume e-f the 'EilMrv e inr closed, the work mav now be considered as fairly lef re the public, and permanently established. How fir the proprietor has redeemed his original pledge, publie opinion must ol course decide. Where he has fallen short of expectation, he trusts he may claim some indulgence, from the consideration that the path on which he ventured had been previously untrodden that, as a pioneer, he had to clear his way of many unforeseen obstacles w hich necessarily beset an undertaking of such noclt and extent and to discover, as he went atom, the true nature of the ground over whith he was travelling. In hiproress, he has certainly been encouri- J ged and supported by a large share ol public liberality and confidence, his grateful sense of w hich would be very inadequately expressed by a commonplace ''return of thanks." Unknown as he was beyond a very limited circle possessed ot no name whose tali-manic influence iniht elicit confidence giving no guarantee, indeed, bat his own promise when he considers the confidence shown bv the public in these promise-, hw : incerely and truly feels the inadequacy ol terms fully to express his gratitude. He broaht to the undertaking an unbending honesty oi intention, to substantiate, as far as was in his tower, the professions he made and his motives now are dsubly powerful to continue the must strenuous exertions fully to accomplish them. In what has been done, and w hat he expects to do, he readily acknow ledges that no such result would have been produced, nor durst he promise so boldly for hi- future exertions, w ithout 'he very ciucient aid of the editor, whose general acquaintance with books, and peculiarly advantageous situation eminently qualify him to fulfil his arduous duties.
