This case occupied TWO days at the late No

wealth. il was ooatended, that it was not com

Justification. The argument upon this point
w. of considerable length and great interest

that under tie circumstances 81 THIS case II was

it was mastery; for Massena being thus de-
prived Of the means of supplying his army,
was soon obliged to retracc his steps to

and leaving the roads covered with his starv-

Amidst this desolaton first saw the lit

the rear guard of the division. and was APP

or five men standing on ridge, in the val

OF them ran towards me, and said that there
was a man lying under "A tree u little way oil
the road, beside stream, and that he was
dying. staff surgeon WAS close by; told
him the circumstance, and We Immediately
proce ctlcd to the spot. There we beheld
soldier lying upon his back, his head resting
against bank, his cap beside him ana tllled
with water as ii he had been drinking out OF
it. Beside the man sat a fine boy, about three
wears cid, bis little arms stretched across him.
The Child looked wisttully atus We ask
ed him what be was doing there? but from
fright and perhaps confusion At seeing us all
intent upon ques.inning him, he only burst
into tears. The surgeon examined the man
and found he was litcless but still warm. !
asked the child il the man was his tathcr!
he said lie was; brt TO any further questions
he could only lisp an unintellisibe answer.
The surgeon thought the man had died oi
fatigue, probably from marching while, un-
der great debility Of sickness. asked the
boy, if he had walked with father that day
and he replied, that he did not, but had been
carried by him.
At this moment the last Of the division
was passing up the hill, and the French col
uuns appeared about halfa mile behind
There was nothing to be done but to remove
the child. and leave the dead man as ne was

him along with them. They accordingly
went over to the boy, to take him away from
the body, but he cried out, While tears roll

tie arms about TIE dead soldier with deter

that his father should so also; but no, the

Descent Of Birdcatchers oper the Precipices Of 81
Erdd.

AS soon as we had reached the town,
preparations were made for ascending the
hills to see a party of Islanders descend the
precipices TOR the cider down, aud for eggs
and BIRDS Five of these twisted round their
bodies diagonally, from the left shoulder to
to the hip, the rope made use Of for these
occasions. One Of these ropes forms the por-
ton of St. ki'sia heii ess; it is always a cur
rent coin of the highest value, life itself de-
pending On the possession OF it. Equipped
with these ropes, strong party, with their
dogs, assembled the hills.
At length we reached the brink of such
tremendous precipice, that, accustomed as
have been, to regard such sights with in
difference, / dal,. d not venture to the edge Of
it alone Two Of the people held my arms,
and | looked over INTO what might be Il
world Of rolling mists, and col.tcnding clouds.
/ AS they broke, or dispersed, the ocean was
disclosed below hut at so great depth,
that its roaring surges were unheard ut this
stupendous height. The brink was wet and
slippery, and the rocks perpendicular to
their base; but what was my astonishmcnt
to see these intrepid :rronauts, as they might
truly be called, sitting on the edge and the
younger ones creeping over after the eggs
and aisic corks.
| NV attention was now entirely engrossed
bv the adventurers, who were preparing
for their dangerous fight :--several ropes of
hide and hair we're tied together to extend
the depth of his descent. a rope OF hide at
one extremity, was fastened like girdle
round his waist, the other end he let down
the precipcc to considerable depth, when
giving the middle OF the rope to a single
m an who stood near him, lie began to de-
scend, always holding by one part of the
rope as he let himself down by the other.
and supported from falling only by the man
above, who hnt, no part of the rope fasten-
ed to him, but held i, merely in his hands,
and sometimes supported him by one hard
alone, looking at the same time over the
precipice, without any stay for his feet. and
conversing with the young man as he de-
scendcd. In very short time he returned
with a young fulmar in his hand, and then
again descended 70 the depth Of sixty faith
otns. Here he seized four fIllmars, with
two in each hand, continued to holl the rope
as he assembled, striking his foot against the
rock to throw himself out from the face OF
the precipice and returned with bound
few out again, capering and shouting, and
,laving more tricks than / had courage tc
see; for expected his love Of fame, in dis
PLAYING those gambols to a stranger, woult
either be the means of pulling the mar over
who held him, or dashing his brains ont
from the violence of which he returned from
these springs, if the rope did not slip from
his comrades hand, and send him headlons
to eternity.
