The merchant: res- aels were all laid up in ordinary during the win- ter months m the same manner as His Majeatv g v vv-‘IVWVVO. We passed a thi'ckv swampy wood ofJ blac': wal- nut, where His Excellency’s servant was lost for three or four hours. We came to a bend of the La Trenche and were agreeably surprised to meet twelve or fourteen carioles coming to meet and conduct the Governor, who, with his suite, gOt into them and about four o’clock arrived at Qolson’s, but previously reconnoitred a' fork ofthe river, and examined a Mill of curious construc- tion erecting upon it. The settlement where Dol- son resides is very promising. The land is adapt- ed for farms, and there are some resuectable in- ha bltants on both sides of the river,--behind it to saw the remains of a considerable town of Chip- Pewas, where it is reported a desperate battle was fought between them and the Senekas, and that the latter were totally vanquis ed and abandon- ed their dominions to the. conquerors. Certain it is that human bones are scattered in abundance in the vicinity of' the ground, and the Indians have a variety of traditions relative to this trans- action. Going along the bordage of the Lake St. Clair, we came to the N. E. shore of the river Of Detroit. The Canadians and Militia fired a fee dc joys. Soon afterwards we crossed the river in boats, but were much impeded by the floating ice. We entered the Garrison of Detrort, which was under arms to receive His Excellency Lt Gov.

At this place every respect was paid to the Governor, and we procured a. seasonable refreshment of eggs, milk and butter. Pursuing our journey 8 or 9 miles we stopped for the night at the extremity of a new road cut by these Indians and close to a creek. Mr. Grey missed his watch, and being certain that he left it at our last encampment, two of the Indians ob- serving his anxiety about it, proposed and insist- ed on returning for it; they accordinglv set out and returned with it the next morning.

Here we were cordially receiv- ed by the Chiefs of the nation and regaled with eggs and venison. Captain Brant being obliged to return to a Council of the Six Nations, we stayed the whole day. The Deleware Castle is pleasantly situated on the high banks of the Themes. The meadows at the bottom are clear- ed to some extent and in summer planted with In- dian corn. After walking twelve or fifteen miles this day part of the way through plain of white oak and ash and passing several Chippewa In- dians on their hunting parties and in their en- campments we arrived at a Canadian Trader’s, and a little beyond in proceeding down the River the Indians discovered a Spring of an oily nature, which upon examination proved to be a kind of petroleum.

The Indians at first amused themselves with allowinga ne found- land dog to attack it; but it defended itself so well that I think it would have escaped from the dog but for the interposition of the Indians. Sev- eral more racoons were traced in the snow and two of them taken by the same mode. The third roasted made us an exe llent supper, some parts were very rancid but in general the flesh was exceedingly tender and good. ‘JLL m1 0 I the Deleware Indian village Where we encamped. The Indians shot some black and other squirrels. We observed many trees hlazed and various fig- ures of Indians (returning from tattle with scalps) and anima‘s ‘rawn upon them descriptive of the nation’s tribes and numbers that had passed many of them well drawn, esoecially a lion. This day we walked over Vtry uneven ground and passed two lakes about four miles in circumference be- tween which were many fine oirch trees.

After crossing abranch of the Thames we halted to obaerv a beautiful situation, formerly a bend of the river, a grove of hemlock, pine and a large creek; we passed some deep ravines and made our wigwams by a stream on the brow of a hill near a spot where Indians were interred; the burying ground was of earth raised, neatly covered with leaves and wickered over, adjoining it a large pole with painted hierrgly phics on it, denoting the nation, tribe, and achievements of the deceased either as billets, warriors or hunters.

But be performed another snake trick which suro prised us very much. He took from a bag another cobra-diocapello and walked into the centre of the room, inclosing it in his hands in a tolded state. He waved or shook them for some time in this condition. and then opened his fists, when hey! presto-the snake was gone, and in its place appeared several small ones, which he suffered to fall from his hands, when they glided with their peculiar undulating movements, almost like the waves of the sea across the {icon-A British Oflicer in India. “What are those speckled birds f” Inquir- ed Mrs. Skinflnt of a poulterer.â€"â€"-‘Gmnea fowis,ma’ma.-â€"â€"‘ Keep ’em then,’ murmured the lady, as she walked away, disgusted at such imposition, ‘you don’t get my guinea: for ’em that’s all. Of course I was positively certain that the small coin was within my double fists. The jaggler then began a short incantation. ac- companied by a monotonous and discordant kind of recitative. and repeating the words, “Ram Sammu,” during some minutes. He then suddenly stoopped. and still keeping his seat made a quick motion with his hand, as if throwing something at me, giving, at the same time, a puff with his mouth : At that instant I felt my hands suddenly distend, and become partly Open while I experienced a sensation as if a t-o‘d bid of dough, or sonic;- thing equally sott, nasty and disagreeable, was now between my palms. I started to my feet in astonishment, and opening my hands found there no coin; Lint to my horror and alarm (for of all created things I detest and loathe the genus), I saw a young snake, all alive-oh! and of all snakes in the world, a cobra di capello, folded, or rather coiled, roundly up. 1 threw it instantly to the ground, trembling with rage and fear, as it“ already hit by the deadly reptile, which began im- ‘ mediately to crawl along the ground; to the alarm and amazement of every one present. I“! Y l The fort at Calcutta, commonly known as l Fort William, is one of the most splendid and ' convenient military establishments to be found in any part of the globe. It is often the scene of animated festivity, from the presence of native jugglers, renowned for their surpass- ing skill and dexterity. The performances of these strange people have been so often de- scribed that I shafl only mention a few, for otherwrse I might tire the reader. The par- ticular trick alluded to is the apparent con- version of a brass coin into a snake. The juggler gave me the coin to hold, and then seated himself, about five yards from me, on a small rug, from which he never attempted to move during the whole performance.‘ I showed the com to several persons who were close beside me, on a form in front of the jugglar. . : asign from him, I not only grasp- ed the com I held, firmly in my right hand, but crossing that hand with equal tightness with my left, I enclosed them both as firmly as I could between my knees.
