a cargo of provisions, &c. that in the mean

Der of volunteers who proceeded down the

madura,and their the ewes bring forth there
lambs in December. As soon as the in
creasing heats Of April and May have
scorchtd up the grass, and rendered the pas
turageS seanty, they commence their march
towards the mountains of Leon, and after
having been shorn on the road, at vast esla-
blishments called EsquiIeos, erected for that
purpose, pass their summerin the elevated
country, which supplies them with abund
ance of rich grass; and they do not leave
the mountains till the frosts of September
begin to damage the heritage.
A flock in the aggi egate is called Cavana;
this is divided into as many subdivisions as
there are thousands of sheep belonging to il;
each sheep, besides being ear-marked in
the face with hot iron when young, is
branded after every shearing, with abroad
pitch brand generally Of the fist letter Of the
name OF the proprietor, and each subdivi-
sion is distinguished by the rest, by the part
OF the sleeps body on which this mark is
placed.
By the laws of the Mesta, each Cavana
must be governed by an officer called May
oral for each subdivision Of thousand
sheep, five shepherds and four dogs are ap-
pointed. Some of there inferior shepherds
obtain the office of Rabadan, the duty of
which is TO givea general superintendance
under the control of the Mayoral, aso to
prescribe and administer medicines to sick
sheep. Atthe time of travelling, and when
the ewes are yeanlng, one or two extra sheP-
herds are allowed for each thousand sheep.
The number of Merino sheep in Spain, is
estimated by Burgoyne at 100000 these
of course must be attended by $4,000 shep
herds, and $4,000 dogs at ordinary times,
and they find occasional employment for S
or 10000 additional persons in the seasons
of Landing and travelling.
In their Journey each subdivision is at
tended BY lis own shepherds & dogs,& kept
seperate as lar rs may be from all others.
The duty of the dogs is TO chase the wolves,
who are always upon the watch when the
sheep are on the road, aud are more willy
than OH foxes they are taught also, When
sick sheep lags behind unobserved by the
shepherds, to stay with and defend it, till
some one returns back in search OF it. There
are besides IN each subdivision about SIX
tame welhers, called Mansos these wear
bells, and are obedient 70 the voices OF the
shepherds, who frequently give them small
pieces OF bread some ct the shepherds

this disposes the flock to follow.

HAYIz, the Persian poet, bears an I'M
mortal fame among the Eastern Nations
perhaps, there is no poet, Of ancient or mo-
dern times, who excels him in light, anna
tory, and bacchanalian pieces. He is styled
the $. Persian Anacreon," but his powers
appear to be of superior cast to those OF
the Teian Bard allowing for the difference
between Oriental and Grecian imagery, the
following Bacchanalian Ode Of HAFIz is
conceived in the true and happiest manner
of Anacreon. It is not only in compositions
of this sort, however, that the Persian is
eminent: his talents were more various
than those of Anacreon, and he is frequent

a considerable part of Esuamadura,
Leon, and the neighboring provinces OF
Spain, is appropriated to the mainte nance Of
the Merino Rocks, called by the Spaniards
Trasbumantes, as are also broad green
roads, leading from one province to tbs
other, and extensive resting places, where
the sheep are baited on the road. So care
full is the police of the country to preserve
them, during their journies from all hazard
of disturbance or interruption, that no per-
son, not even foot passenger, is suffered
to travel upon these roads while the sheep
are in motion, unless he belongs to the
Aocks.
The country on which the sheep are de-
pastured, both in the southern and the north
ern parts, is set out into divisions, separat-
ed from each other by land marks only,
without any kind of fences; each of these
is called Dehesa, and is OF size capable
of maintaining flock of about thousand
sheep,a greater number, OF course, in the
south country, where the lambs are reared,
and fewer in the north country, where the
sheep arrive after the flock has been Gull

Every proprietor must possess as many
ofthese in each province, as will MAINTAIN
his flock. In the temperate season of win
