Extract from letter Of GEORGE CATLrN, now in
Paris, a friend in New York:


"Pray get some Of the editors in the United
States whose papers reach the Western frontiers,
TO discourage any other parties Of Indians from
coming TO England or France for the purpose Of
exhibition. The party Of twelve OJi5hewdys who
came from London 10 Paris some months since,
have not been able, even IN connexion with my
extensive collection, 20 realize than expenses
and the person in whose charge they were faiiinr
OF the means required 10 pay their expenses back
10 London. | volunteered 10 do il myself aud ac-
companed them on their passage, taking Brass Is
on their way. In that city they contracted that
awful disease, the SMALLPOX, with which Eve
SIX were SEX, and by which three Of the finest
men OF the party have lost their lives The rest Of
the party have sent by steamer To London, and
1 very much fear they will there b. reduced 10
great distress. Their detention in Brussels was
more than month, and IN, ouiays for them since
they LEFT Paris have been more than 81 GOO. Ny
expenses in exhibiting the parties Of Iowas and
Ojibbeway Indians in England and France. in
connection with my extensive collection. during
the last year, have been quite equal to all the
ceipts. besides the loss of years time. with much
toll and great deal Of anxiety: and in that time
/ have had the distress and paid the expenses Of
SIX funerals amongst them. The expenses and re-
spousibilities of such parties IN foreign country
are much greater. and their receipts much less.
than the ardent expectations of those bringing them
over; and | sincerely hope, for the happiness o.
the pour Indians, and for the benefit Of those per-
sons who may be planning such speculaiions, that
no other enterprises OF the kind may b. undertaken,
at least for many ycars 10 come.
