VOYAGE OF DISCOVERY.

(From the Etoik of Tuesday.]
We have before announced that a commission nominated
by Baron Milius,' Governor of French Guyana, had act
out to explore the sources of the Oyapock and the Maroni.
This commission returned on the 'ilth January last; and
though a variety of circumstances have prevented the com-
pletion of its object, yet it proceeded a considerable distance
from the mouth of the river Oyapock, and has entered into an
alliance with the tribe of the Oyampis. Ounanica, the chief
of this tribe, had sealed this union with an oath of fldt lity t>
the King of France. M. Bodin, commander of the French ex-
pedition, invested him with the uniform and insignia of
captain, and during this ceremony the French flag was
hoisted by Ounanica, who gave a fete upon the occasion,
enlivened by dancing, and at which there was no want of
cachiri (a fermented beverage). The tribe of Oyampis is
composed of about 6,000 individuals, and is not far from
that of the Emerillons, which is also very numerous.
Amen the useful things which were brought by Baron
Milius, is some cotton, cultivated by the Oyampis, whiel
is extremely beautiful, and is said to be much superior to
that of Cayenne and even of Pernambuco.
In a great part of its course the Oyapock is barred by
cataracts and waterfalls, which in some places are at an he-
mense elevation ; one of these cataracts is 300 feet long
and 80 high. M. Bodin has brought hack a branch of a
tree called the galibis or carouachi, the leaf of which is
a mortal poison. The difficulty which the Indians raised
to Monsieur Bodin taking this away, led him to believe
that it is with the sap of this vegetable that they poison
their arrows. Ounanica accompanied the expedition as far
as Camopi, and Maearayou, another Chief, confided his
son, a youth, to M. Brehm who brought him to Cayenne.
The Abbe Fournier, while with the Oyampis, baptised
forty-nine children. The relations which will be esta-
blished between this people and the French colony, is not
the only advantage likely to be derived from this ex.
pedition.
