MR. WEBSTER. We understand his intention to be, to leave Boston about the first of May, with his family, for the West, with a view of informing himself, by personal observation, of the wealth and resources of the vast transmontane region belonging to this republic. He will proceed from New York to Philadelphia, thence to Harrisburg. Descending the Ohio to Kentucky, he will visit Mr Clay and Mr Crittenden. From thence he will probably drop farther down the great water courses to St. Louis.—Returning to Cincinnati, he will strike off thence through the States of Indiana and Illinois, thence to Wisconsin, and thence home by the way of the great lake. It is a splendid tour which he proposes; and our friends at the west may rely upon it, that nothing worthy of the observation of a Statesman, will escape his attention.—N. Y. Commercial.
