THE CITY OF TIMBUCTGo.

Omar, two sons of the Emperor of Moroc-
co, who had been on a pilgrimage TO Mec-
Ca, under the charge Of Hadjee TaIuJ
Ben Jelow, successful merch mt Of I'M

municative, and impaired some very stri-
king information relative to the celebra-
ted city of Timhuctoo, OF which the fol-
lowing account is given
US, is discovery we have made that
Hadjee Talub Ben Jelow, as well as seve-
raj others on board, have been several
times at Timbuctoo, on commercial spe-
cuiations and, as the governor is very
communicative, he has ansm cred num-
Der OF questions put TO him by capt. Dun
das ami myself. As we were all aware Of
the diversity of opinions respecting the
size and stuation OF that CITY, ii was the
first subject to which we drew his a'ten-

habitations are built OF clay and loose
stones, though some Of them must be two
stores high, from their having stairs. lie
says there are mosques al imbuctoo,
which agrees with the evidence OF Hadjee

that all religious are tolerated. The ma
