IS has been observed by Strabo, that the principal Geographical
discoveries of the ancients were matle by land, and wero the result of
military expeditions. In the present day, however, much infernattion
in regard to the Geography of remote countries vary little knoan, as
well as to the nature of their inhabitants and productions, has beer ob-
tained in consequence of diplomatic missions, but particularly wine of
those undertaken by servants of the East India Company. As instances.
we may refer to Turner's Embassy to Thibit, Syines's Journey to the
Kingdom of Ava, and a work lately published. entitled. " An Account
of the kingdom of Caubul and its Heeendencies in Persia, Tartary,
and India, by the Hon. Niountstuart Elphinstane." Caubul.
is a kingdom known to the Persiaus by the name of Atfganistan, lyiea
between the two great empires of Hindi:man anti Persia. Its length
from North to South, is about 550 miles, and its breadth from East to
West 600. Its population is estimated at fourteen 'Milton.. A court-
try thus situated, inhabited by such a number of hardy mountaineers,
bred to arms, and governed by a warlike and enterprising Prince,
could not be beheld with indifference by the British Government in
India, especially at a time when the missionaries of Buonaparte were
exerting themselves in every quarter to excite enemies against us. It
was thought expedient therefore, when Gardanne was dispatched to the
king of Persia, to send an embassy to Caubul, in order to establish a
friendly relation with the sovereign Shah Shit:pith; or at any rase to ex-
amine the nature of the tannery, and to sound the dispositio", of the
.Court, in case the French should attempt to penetrate into Asia This
mission was entrusted to Mr. Elphinatonc; and his suite consisted
of a secretary, two assistant secretaries, two surveyor', two captains of
the army, six lieutenants, an escort if two hundred cavalry, and two
hundred infantry. One place diacribtal in the ambassador's route, is
very singular. The Indus is there compressed between two mountains,
into a deep channel, only three hundred and fifty yards broad; and
along the base of one of these mountains, a road is cut for upwards of
two miles. '• lie town of Culls-Baugh. built on the steep face of the
hill, each street rising abuse the other, in the form of a stair, over-
hangs this road, which a little further is cut out of solid salt, at the
foot of cliffs, (imposed of that mineral, more than a hundred feet in
height above the river; this salt is hard, .clear, and almost pure, but
streaked and tinged in some parts with red. After a tedious journey,
partly through desarts, the embassy arrived at the town of Peshawer,
which is situated in a plain nearly thirty-five miles in diameter. It is
upwards of five miles round, and contains about toratem inhabitants.
Tile houses, for the most part, are of unburnt brick, three stories high,
the lowest of which are used chiefly as shops. The streets are narrow,
and haveasavements sloping to a kennel in the middle. Here the ani-
bassador. had an audience of the king, of whom the following descrip.
Lion is given. " The king of Caubul was a handsome man, about 30
' years of-age, of an olive complexion, with a thick black beard. The
expression of his countenance was dignified and pleasing, his voice
clear, and his address princely. We thought at first, that he had an
armour of jewels; but on close inspection, we found this to ben mistake,
and his real dress to consist of a green tunic, witiblarge flowers in gold
and precious stones, over which were a large breast-plate,.if diamonds,
shaped like two fiat fleur-de-lis, an ornament of the same kind on each
tliigh, large enamelled bracelets on the arms (above the elbow), anti
many tither jewels in different places. In one of the bracelets was the
Cohenvor, known to be one of the largest diamonds in die world. ;There

crowns, and behind the rays appeared peaksdpurple velvet; some small
branches with pendants, seemed tc project from the crown, but the
whole was so complicated, and so dazzling, that it was difficult to
under, and, sad impossible to describe. The throne was covered with
cloth ads/rued with pearls, on which lay a sword, and a small mace set
with jewels. The niom was open all round; the centre was supported
by four feet pillars, in the midst of which was a marble fountain. The
floor was covered with the richest carpets, and round the edges were
slips of silk embroidered with gold, for the khauns to stand on. The
view from the ball was beautiful; immediately below was an extensive
garden, full of cypresses and other trees, and beyond was a plain of
the richest verdure; here and there were pieces of water, and shining
streams; and the whole was boantiml by mountains, some dark, and
ethers covered with snow." The dinette and productions of Afghanis-
, tan are as varied as the face of the. country, sonic districts being
covered with snowy mountains, and other, with burning sands, similar
ae.those in the deserts of Arabia; the thermometer in sonic parts stands
at tle deg. or 113 deg., and sometimes it rises even to• zo deg. The
principal animals are, linos, tigers, leopards, wolves. hytcsav , jarkalls,
