THE DEAD SEA.

Last year the Due de Luynes started on
scientific exploration Of the Dead Sea
and the adjacent country; and it was
stated at the time that he had caused an
iron built vessel, the Segar, to be tran.
sported thithcr piece by piece on camels.
We may state by the way, that this boat,
after doing excellent service, was entrust.
ed to the care of sheikh, in the hope
that she might be serviceable to other
tourists; but that, during stormy night
she broke from her anchorage, and struck
against a rock which caused her 80 much
damage that the French sailors who had
had the management of her lowed her far
into the Dead Sea, and sank her that che
might not be broken up and then destroy.
ed by the Bedouins. This and the fol-
lowing details Of the expedition we have
CLEANED from an able article on the sub
ject by NJ. HuilIard Brchelles, in this
tortnigbt's Rcrue Contemporane: The
Due de Luynes, who had reserved the
archaeological department for himself, had
selected NJ. Lartct, geologist attached to

A few caverns, situated near Beyrout
were explored in the hope Of ending an.
tcdiluvian remains in them, and indeed
several flint instruments were dug up as
evidence Of the "age of stone in these
parts. The expedition visited Masada,
the last stronghold Of the Jews. Of which
Josephus relates that after the fall Of Je-
rusalam nine hundred men retreated to
this spot, and held out against the 70
mans as long as there were any, but that
finding themse elves unable to resist an Y
longer, they appointed ten Of their mum
Der to be executioners Of their comrades :;
and that these after performing their hor.
rble task, slew each other, so that only
two women and few children remained
to tell the tale This stronghold is rock
accessible only by two narrow paths, lead
ing over frightful precipces. There are
still some ruins visible at Masaia, besides
the trenches Of the Roman General Silva,
who oesieged the place. From the eur.
veys taken by Lieutenant Vinges, i. ap.
pears that the Dead Sea is of an ovoid
form, with the narrower end toward the
south. 1t is Is miles in length aud its
greatest breadth does not exceed H. The
density of the waters Of this inland sea
varies between l, lGO and 1880, that Of
pure water being 1000. The larger figure
represents the density at the bottom,
which shows that the waters Of the atllu,

The bottom consists of blush mud
mixed with crystals of salt. For further

The proclamation which has been issued
by President johnson declaring that if
rebel cruisers shall receive inequalities in
ports of foreign nations, the vessels Of
such nations will be refused Inequalities
in the ports Of the United States, IS likely
to have a very salutary effect upon the
rebel sympathizers abroad. They can no
longer harbor the privateers uhder the
pretext of giving courtesy to beligerents,
for the rebel government is no more
They can be held esponsible, in our opin
ion, Tor harborlug pirates; for the cruisers
do not belong to any organized nation,
nor even beligerents.
