A Quarterly Court of Proprietorsyetterdßy
held at the Eat India ,l-louse. .

.After the usual forms, the Chairman (the Hon.
WILLIAtrt ELPH MST ONE) rose, and acquainted the
Court, that the Diredorshad, on the z7ih of
_June
last, come to theitesolution of recommending to the
General Court to cincur with them in permitting
Mr. JAMES FIENItY CASSAMAIJOR to return to Ma.
Bras with his Rank in the Company's Civil Service;
and the Chairman also stating, that the Ad of Par.
liament required that the same should pass by way
of Ballot, in consequence of Mr. CMSAMAI JOIL's
having been absent from India above five years, it
was agreed that a Ballot should be taken on the
question on the sth of next month.
• A Letter, written by the Chairman and Deputy
to Lord CASTLEREAGH, was then read, requesting
the sanelion of His Majesty's Ministers to such mea.
sures as might,authorise the Court of Direaors in
paying the Tax on the Profits of the Company out
of their ordinary outgoings, without &dueling the
.same from the Dividends to the Proprietors of East
India Stock.

Lord CASTLEREAGH'S Reply to the above Letter
Was also read in which his Lordship stated it as his
own and Mr. PITT'S opinion, that it could not be
done without an express MI of Parliament lor the
purpose and hinted at the impropriety of urging
such a question at so critical a moment.
The CHAt '4)og then observed, that he was sorry
to inform the Pouri of .the renewal of Hostilities in
India with the -Mahratta Chief HOLKAR ; but it
'was with pleasure he could assure them, that there
did not appear any probability of its being of long
duration.

A Letter from the Governor of Bombay, dated
in May last, which contained the only intelligence
received ;I the Direttors on the subjetl, was then
read. This Letter stated very little mire than what
has been already before the Public through private
channels, that in consequence of the encroachments
Of HOLKAR, the Governor. General had thought
preper to order hostilities to be commenced against
this Chieftain. The particular arts of aggression
were not mentioned, as nu dire& Dispatches on the
sulieet had been received from Bengal, the commu.
nication having been made from General NS' s Lt. ES-
LIV. Orders had been issued for the British Troops
immediately to penetrate into the Province of Mala.
bar and General Wat.t.Est.er was about to depart
from Bombay immediately, to resume his situation
above the Gimps.

Tle CHAIRMAN then called the attention of the
Court to the remuneration latriy granted by the
Court of Directors to the Captains and Crews of the
China ships who to gloriously signalized themselves
againat LINO'S.

_
The Unanimous Resolution% of the 'Court of Di.
reflors ,vere accordingly mad ; in which the Court's
Thanksfor their gallant c'ondutt were handsomely
express►d, with the remuneration granted to the
Comma,ders, Officers, and Seamen, fur their services
on the iccasinn.

TheCHAIRMAN then paid the highest compli.
ments 'o the several Commanders and Crews, for not
only Mending themselves, but even paling tojfight
a Fleet of fighting Ships, purposely sent to bring
them captive into a French Port ; and after a very
able speech, in which' e stated he was convinced dist
the hoprietors would not think the Direetors had
gone too far in remunerating the services tat those
gallant Heroes, who were resolved to conquer or die
to defending their Property, he conclueled by oh-
se r v in: that, in consequence of Capt. Sir. NATII.
DANC.'S ill health, that Gentleman was not able to
take alvantage of a favourable voyage which the
Court if thredors had complimented bum wiqi,,and
it was therefore the intention of the Direetors, as
rosin ;hey should meet again, to grant a Pension of
3001. per annum to this gallant Officer for his long
and acritorious services in the Company's service,
which he so nobly wound up by his unrivalled vic.
tory over LI Noss ; and stating, that he felt peace-L.
ly cnnfident, !hat when, at a future time, he should
have the pleasure of laying such a Resolution before
theaSeneral Court, the Direttors would receive their
entire approbation.
Mr. Rocx then rose, and oLerved, that though
he 6.as decidedly of opinion that the remuneration
grinted by the Directors was well merited, yet he
wished to know,, how the Court of Directors con.
sidered themselves authorized to give away 50 or
6c,0001. To which the CHAtitIAAN replied its the
mast satisfa6ory manner.

On the rise of the Court, Sir FRANCIS BARI kr;
begged leave to call the attention of the Court for a
few Moments to the situation of Captain l's M I Ns,
situ had like Witte been complinicnted by the Three.
tuts with a favourable voyage ; and observed, that
the sante necessity compelled him to resign the
voyage ; and Sir FRANCIS concluded by observing,
that he hoped the Court would also cunsider Capt.
Tim t Ns in consequence.
No curthek business uttering, the AIRMAN de.
dared it to be a Quarterly Court, summoned in put.
stance of the Conipany's Charter, and moved the
question of Adjourothent.

A Court of Directors was yesterday held at the
India House', which adjourned, at six o'clock, till
Wednesday next.
Authors are very apt to mistake a rapid and ex.
tensive sale of their works for a public acknowledg.
ment of their talents, when such encouragement
may arise solely from some little temporary circum.
stance coinciding with their subjed, If Sir Ro.
Beat WI isioN's Book -on Egypt had nut been abused
by 130NAPARtg, and been made the sialbjed of a
public complaint, Sir ROBILAT AVILSON'S Book,
among so many better on the same subject, would
scarcely have been known, for its real merits are
very humble, equally as to the language (which
offends both in grammar and orthography in every
page) and the information it contains. Three editions
of his book, however, made him fancy himself equal
to the tank of undertaking another, which, for many
reasons, he had better have let alone; the little stock
of reputation acquired by the former, the latter is well
calculated to annul ; and as to the drift of his book,
it is not easy to see ; but if it be such as the Editor
of the•Alormtv Chronicle has kindly undertaken to
explain for him, we have no hesitation in saying, it
dues him'very, little credit.

WirAtave been favoured with the Conniving Ex-
tratt of, a Lerterfrdm a Sr. Domingo Plint fluty
residing at ailtimnie, Aug

" By a Vessel which left the Cape fifteen (Ws •
ago, I have received intottnatioe, that an agree-
ment had been entered into betweer. DEssmANes
and the Commander of the' French Troopiin the
Spanish part of St. Domingo, according to Which,
the latter, if he shall receive no reinforcerneet's in
the meantime, is to evacuate the Island on or ls'efore
the first of November next. The ArMy of the
Blacks is, in the mean time, to continue in those
positions which it occupied when the agreement Was
signed. No battle had been previously fought be-
tween the contending patties; but daily skirmishes,
with various success, had taken place between the
advanced posts. DEiSALINPA had establisheda
-
Constitutional Committee, which' sits at the Cape,
consisting of eleven Members, of whoM two-are
White, three Mulattoes, and six Blacks, It said,
that they have digested a Constitutional Code., Which
will he proclaimed as soon as 'the whole Island is in
the power of the Blacks. According to it, the future.
form of Government of the Republic of Hayti will
be organised. Report says, that DcsSALINE3 will
be declared the Sovereign Inca for life, and, that his
children will succeed him in this dignity, which is
made hereditary in his 611)4. A Senate, a Tri.
bunal, a Legislative B:ely, and a Council of-State,
will be established at St. Domingo ; the Consti.
tution of which, with very few variations, is nearly
the same as that adopted in France. Should the
POPE consent to the proposals I)ESSAI.INES intends
to make, the Roman Catholic Religion will be the
Religion of State in the Republic of Hayti. The
American Ship Eliza&qh, Capr. TURNER, has been
hired by DessAnmvs, and is to carry to the Pore
a Deputation, or rather an Embassy, at the head of
which is FKANCOII R 1 JOU, a }Lack, educated at
Nantes, and one of DessAAIN Ps') favourite Privy
Councillors.—Their business' is, to propose a Con.
cordite, and to demand some Cardinale or Prelates to
advise in regulating the 44'11 of Religion, and to
assist in the ceremony of the inauguration of Des.
SALINvs as Supreme Inca, which, according to re.
rOrt, Will take place on the'first of next January.
CrißtsT ?HE, and five other Black Generals, are
appointed Field Marshals, and have etch received
three valuable plantations, to keep up theitnew rank
with lustre. A certain notoher of cultivators have
been assigned over to them, as labourers, to wotk
their lands, which Cittlie:l a rruattfntary mutiny

in the beginning of July, where General PRTION,
the Commander of Dessis:Astes's Gudes, restored
order, arid sent away, tinder eA-orr, to the dif-
ferent plantation.; the Nigro esil6VatOri. All
perscns lately arrived from St. Domingo agree in
their statements, that the greatest anarchy, not.
withstanding DEsSALINEj'i revolutionary tyranny
and institutions, continues to desolate that Island,
where most of the plantations that have escaped
the Oury of Civil Wars, remain uncultivated, or
only cultivated to such a small degree as to
produce a temporary fitsh3istence for their (ern.
purary occupiers. DESSALINES having deduced
all plantations belonging to people of 'White colour,
national property, with which he rewards his
Generals, favourites, and Members'of hie Legion
of Honour, a new lease or purchase is necessary
even fur those Black Propieturs who, before, :per
fag or oefar, have gut posties4ion of them. Some
examples of severity have made the trade of the
Americans of St. Domingo of late mote safe, par.
ticularly at the Cape, to which DESSALINES has in.
vited Mr. Duren, the late American Consul; to
return, promising nut only protection, LASE guards of
honour and safety. No business is, however, done
but for ready money, or by exchange, mostly by the
latter, as money has become very scarce. I have
heard that DessmoNes has sent Agents both to
Philadelphia and Jamaica, with proposals of-settling
Commercial Treaties, but with what success I do
not know. Several British Officers of the Navy
have, however, lately vkited DessAnners in his
Camp, and have been received with great distinc-
tion ; but it is supposed that their presence was
merely desired by the Block Chieftain to engage the
English Cruizers to intercept any succours which
the French or Spaniards should send from Cuba to
their countrymen, blockaded by him in the City of
St. Domingo. The Negroes -say, that he -intends
to dispatch Clittiviot HE to England as his Minis.
ter, and that he has demanded a passage for him
on heard some British Man el War, which caused
these Conferences. Mr. Bak KY', of Boston, who
left the Cape on the 21 of July, says, .that the Ne.
genes hope much from their Negotiations with the
. English, though, at the same time, they do not be.
have with mote justice, or shew more regard to.
British Traders, than to those of other Coun.

than the puerile vanity_ of those NegrOes whom
Dessat.ixes has made ,Members of his Legion of
Honour, They wear their stars upon a red and
white ribband round their necks, even when naked,
or with no other covering out a coloured shirt.
Upon the star is an enamel urn, surrounded with
wreaths of laurel, with these words...." Tovssfao NT

larger size, and of gutd, for the Grand Officers and

They are the workmanship of four French jewellers,
whose lives have been spared on that account.
What, finally, will become of this Negro Empire

'CIRCUIT IyriLLIGENCE.

INVIRAit?, Err. 21.
The CircOlt.Court of jtiticiary wits openeci
this place on Monday the rith inst. by the Right
Lord.Ctut.Fir.

The first case allot came before the Couit
Indiament against John 111‘ Fee, Arch. Ramsey,
Archibald Af'Dongall, Roderick v,• CeithariPie.
Campbell, Ann Campbell, and Alexander 41.1',K.,reoch,
or,Darroch, all residing upon the estate of Archi.
bald Campbell, Eqi. proprinor of the Wand of
Jura, accused of committing, depredations upon the•
cargo of a vessel from .the.. West Indies that wig,
wrecked lately among the small .Ides ofJur-I,.and of
assaulting the. Master of the. vessel. Archthatil
iVPDougall, Roderick Shits, Catharine Campbei:,
and Ann Campbell, w.ere ,)utlawed for not appear-
ing, and the trial proceeded.as.to the other three.
The evidence was surnmcd up on the part of the
Crown by Mr. avVID &V LE, Advocate.l)cpute,
and on'the rift of the Pannels by Mr. Rotale-,
CAt.fritELL. Advocate; and Lord CUL.LiitZ having
charged the Jury, they were, inclosed at eight o'clock
in.the evening. Next morning a vertlid was re:.
'turned, finding the Libelers/ /wog)," against Archi.
bald Ramsay, and Alexander MeKreuch, -or Dar:.
roch, nor against JohnlVlTee, the Oglefrannell a
far as regarded itiv.abstrading any part of the
cargo; but finding it proven, that he behaved in
a very improper manner to the Master of the ves-
sel, when endeavouring to protect the property of
his owners.

The Court found, that. the verclia was conceived.
in such terms, respeCling 111(Fre, as not to thr
Pannel guilty of any of the crimes charged .in the'
Libel, and that therefore no punishment could follow
upon it. The whole three were therefore assoilltied
sirkphriter, and dismissed from thr Bar.

Twu circumstances occurrei that tended toSiro,,t,
duce this result of the triid one was, that four of
the witnesses,' whose evidence was very materiali
did not give obedience to rlicsitations that had
been giveh them for at tending as wittieses ; and the
Court, after taking proper ortice of so great a dig..
regard ro the justice and.Pulice i,l the country, iru.,
posed the ordinary fine upon thetn,and recommend..
ed to the Advocate Depute to inquire into the
cause of their absence. -Thc other was, that two
of the Sheriff's Officers, to whuse charge the 4ist...
nestles had been committed, did, in the course Of the
proceedings, set at large eight of the...witalesses foi
the Crown, who could dot therefore be exdminid.

The two Sheriff'd'Officer,s.were imtnediately coin.
mitred to prison ; and by a •precognition • taken by
the Sheriff of the County next nwning,:it aßpearedi
that one of the Officers .W been otherways.pccu.
pied- at. the time' the citeurnetance 114/7"ed, aria
that the other Officer, having been intoxicated at
like time, had ordered all the Witnesses out of the
apartment in which- they had been inclosed. He
was therefore ordered eight days imprisonment, .and
the Sheriff' was instructed not to put himon duty pn
any other occasion of the like kind. ,
The Court next proceeded ,to the trial of. DRIAMIN
AP Arthur, son of Ntel•M'Arthur, residing at. Dail,
in the parish 'of 1.-,uth, Knapslaiff, and counfy. of
Argyle, who was accuses! of the inur,ler Of Eliza.
Beth IVPKinnon (his wit': ), in the ut,mtla of 00ober
last. The dead Is;ady had been .f.aund in the morns
ing after the murder, lying own the banks of the
Crinan Canal, with the feet in -tbe canal, and it was
supposed the murder had been perpetrated by stran.
gulation on the evening preceding, as the deceased
was on her way to the village at latmhgilphead, to;-
companies' by her husband, •

After a very long trial, the evidence on the part
of the Crown was summed up by the Advocate-
Depute ; and by Mr. jamas L'Amy, Advocate, on
the part of the Panne!. The Jury were charged by
Lord CULLEN, and inclosed at one o'clock in the
morning, and at ten o'clock yesterday returned a
%fennel, all in one voice, finding the Pannel pat; of
the murder; whereupon he vras sentenced to be fed
upon bread and water only, arid to be carried to the
place where the 'nuttier was committed, there to be
h3nged on the 31st of Onober next, and his. body
thereafter so be publicly dissected anti anatomized.
The verdict in this case proceeded upon circum-
stantial evidence ; it was, ti:ei'efore, a satisfaCtory
circumstance, that while several of the Jufyinen
and Members of Court remained in town, the cul.
prit confessed his guilt of the clime.

Yesterday se'nnight, at the second Ant amnia] Fir,
Carlisle, there was a toleral.tie Shaw of cattle, the su.
rerior sorts of whichvespecially those that were in
prime condition, went off rapidly, and at prices
which did not diswpoinr the expectations of their
respeetive owners ; 'but those of the contrary de_
scription, in a general way, could not be disposed
of at any rate. Mulch cows met with a very lair
tale, but of which there were a poor variety. There
W4s a good show of all kinds of horses on. the Sands,
but the demand was nut great.

Such is the iminense quantity of base silver in
circulatiOn in 'lreland, that the ollice.at the Pad's..
ment.hoube, Dublin, 'receives thousands of counter.
fcit shillings every day,"at the rate of 4.ii.per ounce.

with a sort of waggon roof, and most plentifully
adorned .with valuable shells of various kinds and
sizes. It is adored in compartments with smooth
stones% and the spaces filled:with pebbles. In one
comet is an antique earthen vessel, seemingly in.
tended for the holding of holy water : •a coniedure
which indeed receives confirmation from the dis.
Item), of a rosaty among the shells, and from
The peculiar disposition of the grotto work on the
east side, which appears to have been formed to re-
present an altar-piece. There is therefore little or
no doubt that this apartment was originaJly.designed
arid used for a chapel, and it was excellently calcu.
fated for the most austere and subliMe private delfts.
tional exercises of the Catholic Church, admitting
no light but through the small stained window ;
which, however, when opened, immediately dis.
*loses the view of the ocean. It is only within a
short time that it has been discovered. Nobody
knew for many years (as far back as is recolleded)
what the place contained ; but it was said, that it
war the burial place of some old
.person who once
kept the house, on the scite of which a seminary is
sow eretied..

A Clergyman, in Wiltshire, who keeps an aca-
demy, was a few days ago. walking with his boys,
in part of a very large wood, which is near to his
house, when, having occasion to retire fur a minute
or two, he dire4leti the boys to walk on, which they
did, and soon after set off, running and playing with
each other, in which way they.rcached the school-
house before they thought of their master. The
cleigyman's wife, surprised at not seeing her bus-
band return with the buys, began rather abruptly
to question them, with what was become of, their
master ? when their confusion suddenly and so
strongly impressed her with the idea, that the boys
had done some violence to her husband, that she
most imprudently, without mentioning her suspicions
to 'any one, went alone into the wood, where she
wandered about in search' of her husband, through
briars, dirt, and mud, for several hours, when, on
returning to the house, almost frantic with despair,
she was so disfigured, that her domestics hardly
knew her. Several men had, in . the mean titw,
been sent into the wood, in search of both of them,
awl others were now sentio .starchof,the pone lost
clergyman—,-but no trace of him, could 'be found
sill the next forenoon,, when "lie made his appearance
on horseback, having wandered the whole• of the
night in the wood, unit ir. the morning f;nind his
way out, hut. on the further side of the wood,
where he had hired the hors' to return home, a ills-
Lance of wine miles. ,

Lately, nearly at mid. Say, the'inliabitrts of the
•
village of St. Nicolas, -15.1eagues from Mantel),
were alarthid by a noiie the.discharge

147AMION-HOMP.—Yesterday Thera:. Hughes,
and two women, were again..brought before the
Lott ta MAYOR, on thtchargeof uttering. counter.
felt silver at the shop of Mt, DEUATT,;p3Stry.
etigktill the Poultry. It appea,red that these people
• had separately gone to this shop,where they uttered
their hid money. They were afterwards' seen all
together in an opposite court, where they were ap.
prehended, and some money of the same coinage
found upon the Prisoner Hughes, who said he was a
journeyman tailor. He • was fully committed for
trial, and the women discharged.
The. Stewards of a Friendly Female Society for
the benefit of Widows, were summoned before his
-Lordship, by a widow,, to whom they had refused
to pay her quarterly allowance, alledging some.
'thing against her charaCte_r, contrary to their rules.
It appeared that these Female Rulers had tided
too precipitately, in refusing the money before they
bad taken the sense of their-Society, according to
their articles. The LORD MAYOR, who was as.
:listed by Mr. Alderman CLARK, told them they
had no right to deny her quarterly money till she
was dismissed by a vote of the Club.

• Yesterday, At:the Public-Ofce,• noton.gartlen,
a' master baker, on Safflon.hill, was charged with
receiving a large quantity of fl ,ur, to the •amount
of 401. the property' of Mr. Twisderl, baker and
mealmin in the. Borough, It appeared, that the
Prisoner recommended a friend, a-s a tit person to
keep a baker's shop for the Prosecutor, at King's.
land Road, when he betrayed his -trust, and moved
all the Adur io the shot' of the Prisoner ; after which
he went toTievixes, in Wiltshire, from whence he
was brought back to-the Office, where he was exa.
mined with the other Prisoner. Several Witnesses
giving reitinaony against-them, they were both fully
commitred to Newgate for trial.

. A disagreeable affray happened on Monday night
at a house in Little 'Britain, which had near been
attended with falai conseeperices. A. levy was
made-by the 'Sheriff of London on the goods and
effetis of a carcase butcher there, and that for a
considerable sum. While the Sheriff's man was•in
possession, a commiss'o'n of bankruptcy was taken
out, and the'Messenger came.to put his men in pos.
session, 'at the late hour of eleven at night ; when
the man already in possession, refused admittance ;
they persisted in attempting to get in by force, he
keepingthe door fast by a chain ; when at length one
of the assailants reached him, and stabbed him twice
under the right pap, with a mortice chissel ; most
fortunately for all parties, the wounds, though very
wide, are 'not so deep as to have affected the vital
part, and there ii hopes the man, who is at present
able t? just' move about, will speedily recover ; in
the mean" tittle the matter will undergo a legal in.
vestigation. Two men arc at present in custody
for the offence. It is not only the stabbing they
were guilty of, but of other great atrocities ; after
threatening the lives of their opponents, they broke
all the windows of the house,• and drove in the pan-
nels of the outer dOor.
Samuel Collier, late of Dobcross, was committed
last,week to York Castle : he was over.looker of
the cotton.manufaftory of 'Mr. jasses Lass, of
Delph, in the township of Quirk, and he is charged
upori the oath of Jouw DAY, of Manchester, under
strong suspicion of his having, on Friday, the 14th
• of September, wilfully and feloniously let fire to the
said premises.
On the loth instant, at Paris, a young man who
lived .in the Rue St. Honore, was stabbed with a
knife, in the presence of his 'wife, by a woman,
with whom, it is said, lie lived, and who was im.
pellet] to this aa by a violent fit of jealousy. But
whatever was the cause of this rash deed, it was no
sooner committed, than the unhappy culprit mani-
fested the most lively despair, and refused to leave
. the body of the victim of her fury. On the arrival
of the Police Officers, she acknowledged her guilt
without the least reserve, and readily delivered her-
self to them. She was concluded to the prison of
the Conciergerie. .
The custom of having natural flowers and shrubs
in all apartments, even the bed-room, is now be-
come so general at Paris, that among' other servants
with people of pant ton, is a very necessary tine,
called a .within. door gardener, whose only occupa.
don is to take care of, and arrange lower-pots, and
flower parterres, in every part of the house, from
the garret down to the cellar. We have heard of a
new-married beau, son of one of our nouveaux riche:,
whose father, seventeen years ago, was a water.
carrier for an hotel, at the wages of nine livres
a.week (is. 61.), who now spends fifty livres (two
guineas) a.day,
,for flowers ; and whose stables are
even perfumed with the moo, odoriferous flowers,
contained in the most elegant pots and China vases.

The Baltimore Telegraph, of Aug. 9, contains the
following account of a very destructive flood, oc-
casioned by some heavy rains in that quarter i--'-:
" The inundation of the Herring Runs, near this
City, occasioned by the last rains, has been dread-
ful. Nothing could withstand its fury ; every
milldam, to the number.of eight, upon the stream,
has been destroyed. At the Bridge, near. Mr.
Bowley's mill, the water rose perpendicularly be-
rween fifteen and twenty feet. So impetuous was
the current, that it broke through a stone wall in
.two directions, and laid the greatest .part of an
'adjoining.' field under water : hay' Jimber, and
whatever else opposed its, force, were swept 'away ;
trees were torn up by their roots, and large stones
were temoved, from their -.places. The damage
sustained on this occasion must be very onsi-
&cable., A waggoner imprudently attempted to.
cross the Run, yesterday evening, with a loaded wag.
.gun ; the horses were forced .down ley: she rapidity
of the•eureent, but with sumo difficulty ,were saved.
A. negro wotnan, who was in the-waggon at the
time, was unfortunately tlgowned. That part,
of the City, termed the Meadow, was completely
idundated,.a number of inhabitants being iiiides the
necessity of eseajiing in boats from the-windows of
their.hooses. One boy in the attempt wail drown.

'' The fifth day of -my journey, 14,,....wg en-
virons of the two ,Downs that we call the Petitel

Monroelies, and which are perceptible to acon,i.
derable distance at sea, I formed the resolution of
turning out of the dire& road, to enter the interior
• of the territory,' for the purpose of visiting a. coun-
try, which my camel-drivers, and my negro-inter-
preter, represented as a part singularly famous for
tts agreeableness. This deviation .from the diced
road could not be more than twelve leagues, and I
had to applaud, myself for adopting my resolution.
" After proceeding fur six hours over a dry and
hilly road, where my camels were fluted ro ascend
acclivities very ;difficult on account.of their steep-
ness, I discovered a verdant hori4on, atal a very
rural and agreeable perspedive.
" Instead of those moving
.white and arid saeds,"
which atilid-and fatigue the sight and the mind, or:
of those dismay and solitary shores Which confine
fGallicism) an open sea, we here met: vith beautiful
trees, and
.a cheerful verdure, which-announced a
fertile and happy country.
66 A great number of men colleded on a risirg
ground, shaded by two fine date trees, direded thein
attention to my caravan,.whicla wastasivancing to-
' wards the valley of the two .Gagnacks.
" All Nature now appeared to liaVe changed her
face and colour ; she seemed to have risers from
the dead; and my mind also acquired a new exist.
ence, for I enjoyed the pleasure of seeing myself
surrounded by fresh and animated vegetation.
6' We began to tread upon a meadow enamelled
with flowers, and interspersed with treel of the
most beautiful green. The odour arising from the .
produdion of she soil relieved my senses, and I ex.
perienced nothing but agreeable sensations ; my
camel-drivers, domestics, and soldiers made the air
resound with cheerful songs ;. and my faithful
Ica kept at my side, while his eyes indicated the
pleasure of his mind.
" The silence •which we kept, sometimes for
whole hours, while travelling over the. Desert, nr the
languid conversation which was frequently carried
on, were now replaced by the tattling invited by
joy : in short, 'we all felt contentment, even cc my
fine and faithful wolf-dog, who expressed his plea..
sure by his barking and his frolics.
16 In this manner we proceeded to the
of the valley of the two Gagnacks, with a degree
of harmony and satiifadion which dispose-I.w to
feel all the charms of this beautiful country. •
" The two negro villages, both of whith bear
the name of Gagnack, the one situated on dr eleva-
tion which closes the valley to the north, and the
other at the foot of a hillock which termirates its
southern extremity, and which the. natives call
Duck Gagnack, because Dock, in their laiguage,,,j,
means water, and because it is on the bank o:, a,fresh4
and clear stream, are•each composed of six u seven.
hundred huts, and are separated by the .vailey,
which is in every respect a rural .place, bein/'pena.
mented with every beauty afforded by Natte,e.
" My, little caravan became an • objed of great
admirarion among . the joint's of the valley et. the- ,
Gagnacks, who inhabit a delicious spot, though si-
coated out of the frequented roads, My apperrance
was to them a great event, ;
.and a•crowd of men,
women, and children of both villages advancd- to-
wards me with unequivocal signs of surprize.
la The crowd, however, did not press ulnn us ;, ,
and I entered the valley at the regular pact of my
camels, while the inhabitants of the two 'Magee
continued to advance slowly towards me. I soon
perceived that the slowness of their pate wasowing
to the orders and signs of some men at Abell head,
whom I afterwards discovered to be the- Cliefs of
the two villages.
66 At length I found myself amidst the natives of
one of the most beautiful vallies in the world.: their
number was upwards of two thousand ; but though
they all surrounded me, they did not occasion, the
least. uneasiness, for their anxiety only indicted
their surprize and curiosity ; and the most sttik.
ing benevolence was marked in their agreeable.p'ay-
siognorny,_

The Chiefs of the two village came towards
me, shtiok hand,, and made a present of milk, eggs,
fowl, fruit, and palm-wine ; their words, which by
negro interpreted, were expressive of peace, friend.
ship, and favour ; in short, every action of these
good people announced that I should experience from
the most amiable hospitality.
" After a short conference, in which my inter-
preter explained that the mere desire of secirg
the inhabitants of this fine canton, had induced me
to come amongst them ; and upon the assurances of
benevolence which were given us by theehiefs of the
two villages, I was carried to the entraoce of the
branch of Dock.Gagnack, eseort4:by the Chiefs
above-mentioned, and followed- by a crowd of the
food negroes, who seemed surprized,iintk, enchanted
at our appearance.

" nitieted the caravan to halt• near an enormous
bnobab, the top of which was furnished with immense
branches; but in its trunk the hand of time 113(1 ex.
cavated a cavern 22 feet in height an.' 20 in -dia-
meter.

" It was under the shade.of this beautiful tree
that I fixed my tent and little c4tnp. limits
within whi.ch I am obliged to confine the present
account, compels me to abridge the description of
my stay in this agieeable.
" After two days pleastfrCt a perioti which I may
reckon amongst the happiest of my lite, I quitted
with regret the beautiful valley of 'the two Gog,
hacks, wherel was treated with w cordiality, frank-
ness, anti 2enerusity,: which will never be obli.
(crated Irvin my memory."
