painful and difficult. AZ the time of our

and have been astonished at the truly Ash

of high price are burned, and dances exc

which has SIX arms on each side. The
dancers are very tawny Indian woven,
mufled in clothes Of gold and silver, with
levels on their arms, legs, neck, and in
Their ears and nose. Their style of dan
cling is very careless.
The waters Of the Ganges are held sa-
cred By the Indians. Every morning they
battle I'm the river and cast into it 4 wreath
of flowers, TO prevent the crocodiles from
deyouring them, which very often happens
notwithstanding this precauton.
When an old man is very sick, his sons
carry him to the banks of the river, and
stopping his mouth and nostrils with clay,
he floats and the stream carries him of

"Calcutta is magnificent city, less
DoDuIous than Paris, but larger, because
the houses. which are superb, are all sur
rounded with garden, more or less ex-
tsnsiye, aaI laid out in the English style.
The natives of the country are of d dark red
complexion, with European features; they
wear their hair very long, aud are small,
and generally pock-marked Although
mild as sheep, they arc treated by the En-
C.jsh, those pretended phiIanthropists, with
Bloro severity than slaves experience ~ the
Isle Of Bourbon. They are Industrious,
aud very ingenious In weaving and other
occupations that require skill, but they
cannot endure atiguing labours. Their
acatnes5 Is excessive, and their costume
which Is graceful, consists ola muslin tur-
ban, and a piece ofthe same stuff which
envelopes the body, and of which the end
hangs over the shoulder. Their sobriety
is such, and the expense of their clothes
so small, that the wages ola servant, who
boards and clothes himself is but five
faacs less than dollar a month, so that
an Euro pean is quite moderate if he has
only ten such servants attached to him.

(of the palanquin,) two hold parasols over
the pllanquil bearers, ono Is an interpret

one Is a sort of valetde-chanber, who at
