The editor attributes the comparatively
small extent of injury TO persons and pro-

the earthquakes happening at time Wnen

From late London PAPER.
We have received accounts Of a recent
discovery in Central Africa, which will soon
/ be laid before the public in greater detail;
but of which the following outline is suffi-
cientiy curious Major Clapperton and Cap
tain Denham, in the course of their late ex-
pedtion in that quarter of the world, arri-
we'd in the capital of a nation, whose man
ners and history seem like to occupy, to no
trivial extent, the attention OF the public OF
this conntrv-we might safely saw Of the
whole civilized world. They found ma
ton Jet black in colour, but not in our sense
of the term negroes, having long hair and
fine high features. This people was found
to be in state Of very high civilization; and
above all, the British travellers witnessed
review Of seven Thousand cavalry, divided
into regular regiments, and all clothed IN
complete armour. Six thousand wore the
perfect hauberk mail of carly Norman
knights; most strange by far Of all, one thou
sand appeared in perfect Roman armour
The conjectures to which this has given rise
are various. We confess for ourselves,
that, looking to the polished and voluptuous
manners ascribed to these people, the ele-
\ gance of their houses, &c. &c. i'll word, the
total difference between them and any other
!, race as vet discoveredin Che interior OF At
rica, the mother of monsters" our own opln-
ion is strongly that here we have a fragment
of the old Numidian population, a specimen
of the tribes who, after long contendihs, and
long cooperating with imperial Rome, were
at last fan to seek safety in the central de-
t sert upon the dissolution of the empire. In
. these squadrons Messrs. Clappcrton and
!. Denham probably beheld the liveliest image
81 that ever has been witnessed by modern
i ewes, of the lcgions of jugurtha-may we
not say of Hannibal. The armour, we un-
4 dtrstand, is fabricated in the most perfect
stvle Of the art; and the Roman suits might
: be mistaken for so many Herculanean and
!. pompeian discoveries, if it were possible toi
:, us to imagine the existence of genuine anti
Il quites possessing all the glossy finish o. yes

geographical situation of both nations, in
