AFRICAN TRATFLLERS.--.We have' received from
Cairo the melancholy intelligence that Mr. Louts

ButtanAuD, had died there of n dysentery.,._ under
his assumed name of SHEIS, IBRAiilw. Mr. 1.01114
BUIIKHARD, who was ardent, enterpriziog, and erni-
mated with the desire of acquiring knonledger being
in England, cff.red his services to the Eat; h Asso-
ciation for making discoveries in the interior of
Africa. After having learned the languages, and
acquired the knowledge necessary for a journey of
this kind, he set off some years ago, and repaired.

Year from Tombuttoo, end to penetrate into that
cOuntry, which has hitherto been inaccessible to
I Europeans ; bat some troubles, which broke out in
that part of the world, hindered the arrival of this
caravan for a whole year. Aided by his Messulman
I costume, and- his perfect knowledge of the Arabic
and Turkish langliageirMr-biazAAase had made a
great number of nosti.'airld importaat discoveries,
which the F.nglith•Assiciation mitt probably publish.
