The editor of the Baltimore MorninI
Chronicle, in speaking of the traveh
of BELzoNI, in Egypt, observes
This traveller has shown an indefa.
tigable boldness and perseverance in
searching for remnants of antiquity
amidst the burning and binding sands
of the Egyptian deserts, seldom, and
perhaps never, surpassed. Let us
transport ourselves for a moment with
this patient son of science, into the
midst of those scorching sands-a re.
gion never wa'ered by Heavens re.
freshing rains. Hunger and thirst, &
penury and assassination, scowI with
their hag%ard features around him,
from the midst Of those suffncating
clouds of sand, while he, with his at.

in removing thuse arid pillows from
the base of some superb and magni6.
cent monument OF human art, that tow.

sert. When the winds arise and agi.
tate the sands, no other chance of safe

flight; to oppose them is inevitable
death. But, it may be asked, what
should induce our travellers to endure
such sacrifices, to bear hunger and
thirst, and privation and heat, and the
ftrocious and prosecuting Arabs: With
these adventures. it is the love of SCI
ence. the rapacIOus curiosity OF re-
search; for this they forsake comfort,
family and friends, and rush into the
very vortex of danger; but the result
of these enquiries, point to an object Of
still more extended and of still more
awful Importance. Let US look at the
mosaic account of the history of the
Egyptians. We behold in that vene.
rabIe record, divine curses denounced
against Egypt, the ancient repository
of the sciences and arts, that formerly
stood amongst all the nations of the
earth, dazzling and pre-eminent.-
Where is all this spIendor,this osten'a'
ton, this magnificence now? Say, If
you please, that the Egyptians are de-
