Tornhvctoo,—It appears that there ex
ists adetailed history of this city, writ
ten by Sidi-Ahhmed-Iiaba, a native ot
Darawan, a small town in the country of
Kcntes, which history, however, docv
not go farther baek, than the 510th ycat
of the Hejira, the 1116th of Christ. The
Arabic author attributes the foundaiion
of this city to a female of the horde of
'I’ouaricks, called Buktou, who establish
ed herself in a cabin on the banks of th(*
Nile of the negroes, which was shaded
by a bushy tree. She had some sheep;
and she delighted in prefroming the du-
ties of hospitality to travellers of her na
tion. Her habitation soon became a sa
cred asylum ;—a place of repose and cn.
joyment for th e neighboring tribes, who
were callcc! 'i'in-Buktou ; that is, belong
ing to Buktou. At length, variou.s tribes
came and established themselves there
forming a vast entrenched camp, which
was afterwards converted into a great
and populous city.
