ANOTHER BURIED CtrY-Ata meeting
of the New York Ethnological Society
last week, an interesting letter was read
from Hon. f. G.. Squier, our Charge des
Affairs at Guatemala. who hus already
commenctd his antiquarian researches
and forwarded several curious relics to
Washington. He gives an account of
the recent discovery of an ancient CITY,
buried beneath the forest about SO miles
from Leon, which far surpasses the ar.
chtectural wonders of Palenque. There
are evidently hidden cities upon the ives
tern continent far exceeding in size and
the grandeur ofthcir monuments the rev.
clations of Herculaneum and Pompeii.
We anticipate, the Mirrer, the most as
sounding discoveries from the ethnologi-
cal enthusiasts Of Mr.. .Squier. The In
dians everywhere receive him with the
utmost kindness, and their chiefs regard
him as a heaven-scnt minister to protect
them from their Spanish oppressors.
They are glad to assist him in his investi-
CATIONS. on the condition that he will
bringno Spaniard into their vilnges, nor
communicate to the pries!s the secrets
they disclose.
There was also read "a curious letter
addressed to tke President of the United
States from the last of the Peruvian In
cas-, accompanied by letter of Samuel
G.. Arnold of Providence. Mr.. A., who
has recently returned from S nth Ameli-
ca. met with the venerable Inca, who is
90 years old. He gives very graphic
account of his appearance, and relates the
affecting story of the wrongs uf his royal
race. He found the princely old priest
sitting in the shadow of the Temple of
the Sun, engaged in reading Tusso-a
