FROM viz JOURNAL OES DEDATS, DEC 25.
We have already ',Optioned the extraordinary journey:
of M. Auguste Caille is Timbuctoo, a journey whica
as %Laos a great noise in the learned se odd. The Com.
mittee which had beets appointed to talc, cognizance
and to give an account t the re alts of that journey h,s
just publisted its :epos t, of which the following is' an

ethit titer Dtrioliter. Thence he wet.t on, sopping at
Kankan, a largetcity in the touNtry of t at nerne, which
e..richev the neighbourhood with the gold minei of
Bowie f he a terwas ds advanced mote than 200 miles
to the east beyond S. utimanha, as far as the village of
Time, where he arrived on the 3d of Angu-t. In this
village he was detained from' sic kness five entire Months.
At Time he planned a. other excursion towards the
rth ; this, was the second part of his voyage. M.
Caille wished to get back to the Dhioliba, and set out
for that purpose on the 9th of January 144, and after
having passed through shore than a hundred viVager,
and approached within a short distance of Sego, he got
sight of the stream once more on tf.e 10t:. Of March at
Galia, flowing from the west, and passed over wbranch
of it in order to get to Jenni. The whole of this portion
of M. Caille 's r uteis entirely new, as well as his journey
from Timbo to Time. The third part-of his journey
was on the great river. M. Caille embarked on the 20th
of March, after a stay of thirteen days at Jentii ; this
was in the dry season. In son e places the riser was a
mile wide; but in others much natrower. Tbedei th
and rapidity varied. In his progress he has noted the
tributaries and the islands Chet occurred, and especially
the lake of Deba (the same that is known and figured
in the charts by the title of Dibbie, but whose position
is improperly given), and babas given throughout the
whole course of the river a series of notices as valuable
for their accuracy as their novelty.
' At length he arrived at Kabra, the port of Timbnee
too, on the 19th April, .nd the following day he entered
that city. On the 4th May he' left it for El Arawan,
-where he arrived in six days. and in eight days morels
reached the wells of Teligue. The whole of these svelte,
which are eit'ier heat or brackish, and every station
besides in his passage of the Great Desert, is carefully
noted by M. Caine; The season of the burning east
winds rendered the fatigues and privations of this pain-.
ful journey still more oppressive to him. He set out
from El Arawan on the 19th May, and did notwrrive
at El Harid until the 28th June; there the caravan se-
parated into several pieties, and on July 23 he reached
Fafilet. Finally;ina the 12th August he arrived at the
spot where, in the fourteenth century, Ben Batoula threw
down his staff -as a traveller, namely, the oity.ot Fez,
whence he continued his route, accompanied by a guide,
until he gained the sea. He got to Tangier en Vie 17th
September, where the French Consul receive)
attended to his safety, and succeeded in protecting tins
from the danger he quits have incurred if, under his
disguise, he had been recognised. .
