HUMBOLDT’S TllAYELS.
[Tkahslatid for the National Intel
LIGENCER ]
From the Journal do L’Empire.
Public opinion, so often unjust toward* cotem
porary writer*, has pronoun* ed upon the travels
ot Baron Humboldt in a manner so honorable and
•o nearly unanimous, that it has almost become
useless to repeat the eulogies which the publi
cation of'eacit new hook (or number) obliges us
to bestow on this great work. The public
no longer demand* of ms what we think but what
we know of it ; their only niaiet) is to know
Whether a new part i f this stiherb monument of
acienre bus hern finished and delivered to the
f;tveilv eyes of those whom their good fortune
»as < iuH-d to enjoy it. The Historic Narrative
and the Picturesque Atlas have been long expec
ted with an imp u lie nee proportioned to the in
tenst w hich these parts inspired in all classes of
Trailers ; hut the editors, on their part, imposed
a wise deliberation on the typography and engra
vii got one part of the work, which, in order to
speak liy th - s*. uses to the imagination, requires
the minutest care and most correct execution.—
It is now some weeks since the li'st hook of the
Pictori aque Atlas was published, under the ti
tle o! Views of the Coidilleras and of the monu
ments of the people of America ; by Alexander
tie Humboldt. t
a iic mwnumerts ot Ancient nations interest us
in t wo ways; those of highly polished nations
delight the eye by their elegant or majestic
forms i those of savage people are like mule te«
timoniaif oi events winch are lost in the night of
Kg'S ; they .<fiord an inexhaustible fund of mat
in to the reflection of the philosopher who s< eka
lior the origin of nations The enormous pyra
mids of Egypt, the sculptured rocks of Persia,
the Runic stones of Scandinavia, the Celtic
tombs, the idols of Tartary, and every thing
■wllicit preserves the traces > f past g iterations,
alike interest the learned who endeavor tore
trice history to its soHrce. It is in this point of
view that we must reflect on the.singular iron
laments of the Mexicans and Peruvians, monu
ments almost unknown out of America, with
■which Mr Humboldt is about to m-ike us sc
quainled by a very curious series of prims
The bust ot an Asteque or Mexican priestess
will strike the most indisc rimiaating eve, by the
resemblance which its headdress f coiffureJ pre
sents to the calxxtica of the heads t Isis, of
Spliynx, of Antinous and of different Eg\ ptian
ot-.tuea i a string of pearls, unknown in Egyptian
monuments, proves the communication which
the Mexicans had with California, where this
Vich marine production is found. The pyramid
which is found at Cholula, in Mexico, iccals to
the rtcollection thost of Feyoum in Egypt.
Therr are other tr; its of resemblance between
the Mexicans and the inhabitants of the Banks
of the Nile Nevertheless M de Humboldt is
far from making thi* resemblance the subject of
a hold hypothesis ; ontfie contrary he is eager
as fmnkly to point out the dissimilitudes between
the people of these two regions The Mexican
year, for examph-, which at first sight appears to
b. the s me with that ot the Egyptians, differs
essentially in its duration, which, according to
M de f.ap'sre, i.s exactly that of the Arabic
year fixed by the astronomers of the Calif Al
maniouti
The engraving of the pyrataid of Cholula is ac
conui.m.i ci by a very interesting notice upon the
lent dlis or religious edifices of the Mexicans,
the resemblance of which to tiie Temple of Ju
pit*-r Bolus at Babylon is very striking. We re
g'-et that we are no< able to enter into the tie
tails which even a very concise notice of this mo
nument would require. We. regret still more
not to he i;bie to give an idea of ' he srulpture ot
Oaxaca nor the- mom.mir.t of XnrliMcalco_
These two pieces attest the talents ol the Mexi
cans, and seem to prove that it these people, hi- I
stead of having been subjugated and oppressed, I
tiad had peaceful intercourse with Europe, ihey ^
■would have made rapid progress in the fine arts
Tiie patience and address with which tluy wor
ked the hardest stones, proves that they have
■Wanted nothing but examples of a refined taste
to produce master piect % dt *rt.
One knows not, however, howto deny that the
conquest of America produced real advantages to
immunity in abolishing so many horrible super
stitions, accompanied by human sacrifices and a
trocities which (lie pen refuses to depict This
is a point the discussion of which wc leave to I
3Vf de Lnbouliniere, who proposes to publish a •
"work entitled “ On the Spirit of Conquests and
their Influence upon Civilization.”
The paper which the anicent Mexicans made
■with the fibres of the alo«9 agare, served them for
designing hieroglyphic figures, which with them
■were a substitute for writing. The first conquer
ors found an enormous quantity of this sort of
manuscript. An Italian M. Botlmrini, under
took, eighty years ago, to collect these treasures,
which Spanish ignorance knew not how to
nppreciate ; hut the researches of this travel
ler not having obtained, like those ot Mr Hum
b >ldt, the protection of the government, his col
lections, taken from him, were buried in the ar- *
chives of the vice roy illy of Mexico, when they
ar* in a grea’ d g ee become the prey of damps
and destructive inuertn ami animals. We find
in the Atlas of M de Humboldt two hitr< gly
phic pictures of this kind, throne representing
a g nealogy and thp other a process In both of
thi se designs, tongues placet'at the side of a
p raonage, signify that he is living and powerful;
jn the print ot the process, tin tongues are very
unt qnuliy divi led ; the native has but one, with
M’ui Ii he dare scarcely defend his cause, whilst
the strangers with thr 1 >ng heard are fortified
v. ,ci. with three organs of speech, inasmuch as,
in the qu.dhyof descendants of a conquering
people, liny apeak in .. loud voice and wnh bold i
lie -s.
The part of this Atl^s most likely to interest
all classes of reader* is without doubt that whih
traces till* imposing scenes of nature ; blit it is
also that which is most difficult to describe._
Words can give but « feeble idea of the cascade
of I cq lendama, ilie nt *sl picturesque on tlie
globe, becatiSe, with l< ss volume th^n Niagara
and less elevation than Stauhbnch in Switzerland,
it un.tes in just proportions all that constitutes
the particular beauty of other falls ot water —
How shad 1 paint to mv readers tf;e natural brid
ges of Icononzo, suspended at a great height a
Love * torrent, tl,d lot mod, one by :» hollow bank
of sand, under which softer beds have been
thrown up by the water, the other by three mas
scr, of rock, which, in tumbling flown, have met in
such a manner as to form a solid arch !
W may judge, from litis feeble extract, what
•will he t; e variety of magnificent objects which
the historic relation of M. de Humboldt displays
lo the eyes of his readers, 'i bis narrative will
•worthily crown an enterprise which would have
done honor even to a sovereign ; ♦ »r indeed there

THE HESSIAN PLY. 11
The following, which wan published in an Al
bany paper several years since, has been han
ded to us by a gentleman of this city for republi
cation :
lixrract of a letter to the Printert f the Albany
Gazette
" I have noticed in some of your late p ipers,
that tire Hcs-iaii Fly has again made its appear
ance in the United States; and that not only tn
Virginia and nme oilier of the southern states,
but only in some parts of this state, m-lane holy
proofs of the ravages of this devouring ins et
have been discovered I have myself ala > ob
| served, that in the county of Washington, in
which I reside, the fly is again desolating the
Helds of wheat.
“ 1 hone so potent an enemy will not be treat
ed with unconcern and neglect by the friends
of rrgricultuie, but that they will unite their ex
perience with their energy to repel and coun
teract his insidious and baneful influence, and
if possible, arrest his progress in its first onset
‘ The result of my observations respecting the
Hessian fly, when he before ravaged this coun
tiy, and the plan adopted for destroying hun
winch appeared to me the most effectual, l here
subjoin, with a request you will give the same a
place in your paper.
“ The fly deposits its eggs in the new wheat
soon alter its springing up in autumn, and before
there are any severe frost- ; p op agates in the
spring ; remains in a torpid siaie till sometime af
ter rc'-ping ; is invari-ibty found m the first or se
cund joint of the stalk, and takes wing in the
course ol August Cut your *heat high, re
move it immediately from off die land, and with
out delay burn the stubble ; this destroys the in
sect while in his torpid state, and if the burping
be effectual, cuts on the Hessian fly ; root and
branch, in one season
“ 1 think I can aafi.lv pledge myself to you,
that it this plan of cutting tin wheat and burn
ing the stubble is universally adopted, we shall
hear no more of the Hessian fly ; & that in add.lion
thereto, we shall have laiger crops of grain, as
the burning greatly enricncs the land, and has
nearly the same ettect as a coil of good manure.”

An eminent apothecary in the vicinity of Lon

lor tiie tooth ache, the following remedy, winch
iie has been in the habit of utiug for many years,
and out ot the number ol cases, cigirieiilhs have
succeeded, viz: to take three table epoontulsol

Before the moon, resplendent queen of night,
O’er Heav’n's pure i./ttre sued lier silver light,
And ere the sun, retuigcnt orb of day,
Pour’d o’er the earth, his all dilVustvc ray,
1 was ; and circling round die blest abodes,
Coeval flourish’d with the Goa of Gods :
Sole witness I, when spirits, suns and earth,
At lus grand hat trembling into birth.
I reign’d, ere l mie Ins minutes counted o’er,
My reign shall last when time shall be no more
bay who can fly me f mount the realms of airj
Or fathom ocean’s depth, and i a.n there i
Or, if perchance you like the journey w..ll,
Plunge to the daikest shades ol deepest hell :
'I lieie also l extend my ample reign,
’Midst shrit ks and gioans ol agonizing pain.
Ail things above, below, or great or small,
Are full of me, aim I am tun ot all
Tlio’ motionless 1 am, yet without me,
No motion is, no change can ever be :
Tim’ kdiga might strive in vain, witn power or
art,
To move my’ most minutely trivial part,
Yet smallest atoms pierce me through with ease,
And 1 am pervious to the gentlest ureeze.
You ask my snape—a m.gaiy splieie am 1,
Greater than earth, and a.r, a.id sea, and say j
IV lie: e’er you go, whatever spur you cuter,
Here, there, and every wnere, is placed my cen
tre ;
But no where my periphery ; and hence
You seek in vain lor my • ircuinfri ence.
Vot tho* I urn this vast, unwieldy thing,
You’ll find me in the c.rcle of a mig,
Such as C^toen Mao, or Fairy Puck might wear,
Ur gay i uama with the golden hair.
Nay, in die pupil of a nudge’s eye,
Hi y-md thy pry ing seaicii secure I lie.
In fine, 1 neither matter am nor spirit,
So guess my name, aim 1 allow you merit.
