LION HD.N7' NEAR kara, bonn
Bay
FROM THE BOMBAY PAPER.

X.
The sporting gentlemen of this station
were, on the 22d Dec. Informed, that thre,
lions had been discovered in small Jun
gle, two miles from Beereije. Immediate
iy preparations were made to assemble q
large party, and to proceed to chace then
from thence. Accounts were received that
the size and ferocity OF the animals hae
struck panic into the adjacent village :;
thai six OF the natives, who had unwarily
approached their haunts, had been torn and
mang'ed, and left TO expire in the create ST
agonies; and that it was no longer safe fol
the inhabitants to proceed to the usual oc
equations OF husbandry, or to turn out their
cattle TO pasture, as several of them had
been hunted down and killed. These &C
counts only stimulated the British NTn7rods
And party OF sixteen gentlemen having
assembled on the Oath, proceeded to the
scene OF acton, accompanied by body OF
armed poems from the Audaulet and Re-
venec departments. The guides took them
to the precise spot where three Of the roy
al family were reposing in state. The par
~ advanced with due caution, to within
few PAGES Of the jungle without disturb
ing the residents. At that instant. 3 dogs
which had joined the hunt, unconscious of
danger, approached the very threshold OF
the presence. and were received with such
a sepuchral groan, as for moment made
the bravest hold his breath" One of the
dogs was killcd-the other two fled, and
were seen no more. Presently lioness
was indistinctly observed at the mouth of
the den: few arrows were discharged,
with view to irriiate her, and induce her
&c an attack on her assailants but this did
not succeed, as she broke cover in an op
pesite direction, with two cubs about two
thirds grown.
The party pursued the fugitives on foo,
as fast as the nature Of the ground, newly
ploughed, would admit when, suddenly
one Of the men who had been stationed in
the trees. called out 20 the gentlemen to be
on their guard. This arrested their pro-
gress. They turned on one side, to some
heights, when they deserted an enormous
lion, which was approaching them through
an open field, at an easy canter, and lash
ing his tile in style Of indescrbabIe gran

DEATH OF TECUMsEH.

We extract the following (says the Far
mer's Register of Troy from valuable
work, entitlcd--" Hezys Of the CAMPAIGNS
Of the Northern Army. &C." written by MIR
Samuel K. Brown. and just issued from
this Office. This extract is from the mar
ra'ive of the overthrow of the British and
lndian armies at the Moravian town, on the
5th October last. MIR, Brown was vo-
'unteer in col. JohnsoD's corps of mounte d
