runs thus— " Mahomet is the apostle of God , who sent him for the guidance of the faithfuj . The religion of the true faith ismanifested above all other religions , notwithstanding- the hatred of those ( Trinitarian Christian ?) who associate companions with God «"
THE DELUGE . —ThePresident of the United States , some time since , communicated to the Congress the discoveries made by Dr . Siblev an < t Mr . Dunbar , in exploring the rivers Missouri , Wash'ta , and the Red River ; but this official message did not give the details of the expedition . The account states a remarkable tradition
among six or seven nations inhabiting the Western shore of the Red River * which deserves particular regard , as it adds to the testimony , in confirmation of the Scriptural narrative , of
therDeluge . The tradition is , that the world was entirely covered with water , with the exception of one hill , which was inhabited by a family of one of these nations called the Caddos . This fami *
