with the account lately received from

That a native African had arrived at Mogn-

that he had left lloussa, about March last
and that belonging to the akkaba or great ca
ravan of the interior, there were three Chris
Hans, whom some King of Smidou, (prohalify
that of lloussa) had placed uder the priftrf
tion of some Sheraf, (or Prince) w jth a -positive
injunction to convey them'across the, Great
Desert to-the northern con 6nes of Africa,, pro-,
bably to Algiers or 'Funis. From this remark-
