Modern geo logists, including Humboldt and Lyell, have maui taincd that the mammoth must have been a den j izen of tlio lands, where not only his bones, but even his entire carcass, covered with a thick and woolly hide, has been found in northern Siberia, Professor Owen has shown, by a close examina tion of their7 teeth, that these great quadrupeds were specially organized to live on' the branches of such shrubs and trees as grow in high boreal latitudes. This opinion is corroborated by the fact th; great quantities of the fossil bones of the mammoth have been discovered in the vicinity of the great northern forests of hibena. Pallas says, that from the Don, or Tanais, to Tahuko- tskoinoss, there is scarcely a river, the bank of which does not afford remains of the mammoth, and these are frequently imbexlded in, or covered With alluvial soil containing marine productions. Some -tusks have been found, weighing 432 pounds. - -In the south Ural, as in the north, the remains,, of mammoths, o Vfxtt and Hiinocrros lich&f' urns, arc found in the line of the gold warks The Bashkirs attach a superstitious feeling oi re spect for these bones, and have beetifknown to say to the Russian miners that fiwf settled among them, "Take from us our gold", if ) ou will j but, forjGodV sake, leave m thi hones of our ances tors.".., The Samoyedsf as Count Keyserling learnt in his late tour to tlie l'etehon, have a most singular belief respecting the mammoth, which would hud lis to suppose diat many entire forms of th animal may from lime to time have betfi knoWn to them, or their predecessors. The mammoth of their Jegend is a great subterranean monster, delighting in ice caverns, and to whom they attarh a superstitious reverence, believing that the man who exposes the creature lo-day, tlureby kills it, and brings misfortune on hi fam ily. 1 his seems to explain why it is so difficult and a variety of other fish, are found ia the riv ers and on the coasts, and whales are numerous.

The accounts difler as to number ; some call them 50, others 80, all well -and completely armed. Some allege their in ien tion was, to seize on Mr. Stuart, which very probably was part of their errand ; but I believe they have another point in view, and that is three vessels bt big ex pected here from Inndon, and a considerable j quantity of gunpowder being 011 board for Uie Indian Trade, they intend to sieze on that and carry it to Carolina ; and this is certainly in their power to do, and it is not possible to pre vent it, if attempted. And one of these vessels arrived here on Saturday tlie 8th ins, and Uie captain, one Ash, informs me Uiat several boats lay off a little w ay from him, and that one with three or four men came on board arid one of them inquired whether --he had any gunpowder' on board, and on shewing his cockets and their finding he had none, they, behaved very civilly and went away, but made great inquiry of anoth er ship, one Maitland, who has a large quantity of gunpowder on board, and it is said they intend to watch our inlet till the others come, and to take out all the gunpowder. And if that is the case, I am much airraid it will embarrass us with the Indians,, for they have for seme time been veiy impatient for their usual supplies, and in order to pacify them, I have told them that the difTerehce We had with mein last year pre vented the merchants from semli.1 for goods, ''that none was wrote for till after our disputes were setded in October Inst, and tint it takes a great while for ships to cairy letters and orders ence to L. upland and that the goods would be to make (I told them this to gain time) and afterwards be sent here, and that sometimes ships , ,', . ,, i . . , . i have very long passages, and we could not dev A mob a a monster ; head enough but 110 brains. 1 ,. ,. 6 ,.b, . . ...4, , r. . . . .0 . . iKtiil mi a fliinnlv till latjft in thi Knmmnr:- mnA Notlting is humbler than ambition when it is .nhoutto'clirju.'rT'rt"'''"''":' " ''""...-::z:r- The discontented man finds no easy chair.
