a BUried Ciy.-Tbe captain of an A.
merican vessel, named Ray, has lately dis
covered on the coast Of Peru, in the envi-
rons of TusciIo, an ancient buried city Of
considerable extent. Following the course
Of some excavations lie had made, he found
the walls Of the edifces still standing and
many of them IN a complete state Of preser-
walton. He inferred from the number aud
extent Of them, that the population Of the
city could not have been less than thee
thousand souls. Great numbers of skele-
ton and mummles. in perfect state Of pre-
servation, were found among the private
and sacred edifces, and "a great number of
domestic utensils. articles Of furniture, coins
and curious antiquities. The earthquake
by which it was cnguIled, appears to have
surprised the inhabitants like those Of Pom
pei, in the midst of their daily avocalions,
and many Of them were found by Captain
Ray sihgularly preserved by the exclusion
OF Atmospheric air in the precise situation Of
the moment when overwhelmed. One
man standing up as ifin the act Of escaping
was dressed in light robe, in tie folds of
which coins were found, which have been
sent to the scientific institutions at Lima for
investigation. female was also found
sitting in a chair before loom, which con-
tanned a piece of cotton stuff which she was
in the act of weaving The cotton stuffs
which is Of gaudg pattern, bnt very neat
" fabricated is about eighteen inches in di-
ameter, and appears to have been only half
completed. A great number Of Antiquities
and curiostics found in the American Her
cuaneuni grave, have been sent 10 the mu-
scum at Lima.
