We have received accounts Of a recent


discovery in Central Africa, which will soon

but of which the following outline is suffi-
cientiy curious Major Clapperton and Cap
tain Denham, in the course of their late ex-


pedtion in that quarter of the world, arri-


we'd in the capital of a nation, whose man


ners and history seem like to occupy, to no


trivial extent, the attention OF the public OF


this conntrv-we might safely saw Of the


whole civilized world. They found ma


ton Jet black in colour, but not in our sense


of the term negroes, having long hair and


fine high features. This people was found


to be in state Of very high civilization; and


above all, the British travellers witnessed


review Of seven Thousand cavalry, divided
into regular regiments, and all clothed IN
complete armour. Six thousand wore the


perfect hauberk mail of carly Norman


knights; most strange by far Of all, one thou


sand appeared in perfect Roman armour
The conjectures to which this has given rise


are various. We confess for ourselves,


that, looking to the polished and voluptuous


manners ascribed to these people, the ele-
\ gance of their houses, &c. &c. i'll word, the


total difference between them and any other

rica, the mother of monsters" our own opln-
ion is strongly that here we have a fragment
of the old Numidian population, a specimen


of the tribes who, after long contendihs, and
long cooperating with imperial Rome, were


at last fan to seek safety in the central de-
t sert upon the dissolution of the empire. In
. these squadrons Messrs. Clappcrton and
!. Denham probably beheld the liveliest image
81 that ever has been witnessed by modern
i ewes, of the lcgions of jugurtha-may we


not say of Hannibal. The armour, we un-

stvle Of the art; and the Roman suits might
: be mistaken for so many Herculanean and
!. pompeian discoveries, if it were possible toi

geographical situation of both nations, in
