EXTRAORDINARY ADVENTURE.B.

The French Papers of Saturday state, that the fa-
mous KABRIS, son-in•law of the King of the Savages
of the Island of Noukahiwa, lately died very sud-
denly, at Valenciennes, where he went, as to many
other towns, to exbibit himself for a small sum. The
biographic des Hammes Vivans contains the following
notice of this singular character :

" Josses; KASS'S, born at Bourdeaux, was taken prisoner on
board a French ship, where be was a sailor, and conducted to
England, where he obtained permission to enter on beard a
whaler, destined for the South Sea. Escaped from the wreck
of this vessel, which was lost on the coast of Noukahiwa (Saint
Catherine), in the Great Ocean, Exam fell into the hands of
the ihitheopophogi, or man-eaters, who were preparing to make
him suffer the fate of Mmtunr, and perhaps of LA Plitovsz ; the
club was actually lifted that was to fell him to the earth, when
VALMAISKA, the young daughter of the KIM, demanded and
obtained mercy for him, and shortly afterwards married him,
to the great disappointment of the gastronomes of the country,
in whom the good condition of Kassa had excited a hope of en-
joying the most exquisite cheer. .
The morning after his marriage feast, in which Kasen had
appeared with a mantle made of the bark of a tree like that
worn by the Kiwi, the Monarch tattooed him himself as the
Nobles of the land are tattooed; be traced on the left side of his
face the sign which distinguishes the Royal Family of Nouka-
hiwa. He was then invested with the functions of Grand Judge,
and acquitted himself with much prudence and cleverness, which
was promoted by the simplicity of the language and laws of this
reople, who do not yet embarrass the march of justice with nit-
raerous forms. The thief is tied for several days to a tree. An
.assassin is killed by the family of th* deceased, his body divided
between the different tribes. The traitor is flayed alive, and
thrown into the sea, as he is thought not worthy even of being
eaten.—Kasars had been for nine years the father of 'a family,
and enjoyed in his eminent character of Judge, family happiness
ond the favours of fortune, when he was wiled away, as he says,
in his sleep by the Russian Captain Kaussarrritur.
" When he arrived at Petersburgh, he was appointed Professor
of Swimming, in the Imperial School for the Navy, and he re-
turned to France in 1817, on board the vessel which went to
Russia to bring back the remainder of the French troops. It
seems that Captain Kausausraan had no other motive for carry-
ing away Kaman, but to chew this prodigy to his Sovereign.—
When he awoke, far from VALMAISKA and his children, be:viade
many useless complaints, but forced to resign himself to his fates
to make it more agreeable, he solicited permission to return to,
France. Soon after his arrival at Paris he was presented to the•
Kum, who shewed him signs of his good will ; and some time
afterwards he received a similar reception from the King of
PRUSSIA, who was then in that capital.
" Before returning to his native. town, Kazan stewed him-
self to the public, to levy on it the funds necessary for his jour-
ney to Bourdeaux,' from whence he proposed to return to the
South Sea, desiring again to propound the oracles of justice to
the savages of Noukabiwa, whose manners be pretends to have
improved.
" Kazan was possessed of good sense, and some Instruction;
and in his answers displayed a degree of frankness which does
rot permit us to apply to his stories, at least not too rigorously,
the epithet of tiresome, which originates in that country where
he was born. People who are fond of observing curious rela-
tions have remarked that this man, whose greatness had de-
parted like a dream, chose the Cabinete des Plosions as the place
to ~hew himself in, and the Sotori of Noukuhiwa supplied the
place of the dog Munito, at a theatre of Afaisonnettes.'
