TextNRls. or White River, which, according to the accounts given by the Galla, our author fuppoles to take its rise in about 9 north latitude.

TextThe rains therefore precede the fun only about 6°; but they continue and incredible after he has puffed it. In April all the rivers in the foubern parts of Ablyr finis begin to softw), and greatly augment the Nile which is now alfo farther augmented by the vaft quantity of water poured into the Nile Tazan. On the first day of May, the fun paths the village of Cerrij, which is the limit of the tropical rains, and it is very remarkable, that, though the fun still continues to cooperate with enhanced region. All his influence cannot bring the clouds further northward than this village; the restor of whole Mr Brune, with great restforu popsots to be the want of mountains to the northward. In confirmation of this opinion, he offerences, that the tropical rains flop at the latitude of 14" infuse of 10" in the welfare part of the continent. All this time, however, they continue violent in Abyfllina i and in the beginning of June the rivers are all full, and continue to while the fun remains Rationalny in the top pic of Cancer.

TextThis sacrifice rain, which would freeze off the whole foil of Egypt into the few were it to continue with out intermition, begins to share as the fun turns fouthward, and on his arrival at the zenith of each place, on his judged towards that quarter, they cease entire ly: the reason of which is no left difficult to be dif- covered than that of their coming on when he arrives at the same in a jingling southward. Be the rea fan what it will, however, the fact is certain; and not only lo, but the time of the main catalog is each to a finglebay i fishomuch, that so the yach of September her the Nile is generally found to be at its highest at Cairo, and begins to diminish every day after. Im-mediately after the fun has pulled the line, he began the rainy regions to the forthand; the next conflictly coming on with violence as he approaches the sex ninth of each place; but the innovation is now pro- moted in different manner, according to the difference of circumcities in the frutation of the places. From short 8’3. Lat, a chain of high mountaine runs all the way along the middle of the constant towards the Cape of Good Hogs, and interfects the footbart part of the prinishia nearly in the frame means that the Nile does the northern. A froug wind from the fourth, stopping the groprefs of the condensed vapors, there them against the cold furnists of this edge of mountains, and forms many rivers, which escape on the direction either of salt or well as the level preints it felt. If this is towards the wells they fall down the files of the mountains into the Atlantic and if on the call onto the Indian ocean. -4 The clouds (fays Mr Bruce) hereby the violent action of the fun, we conducted, then broken, and fill as rain on the top of the high ridge, and feel every river; a while a wind from the one run the cell shows like a monsoon each of tiefde fernas, for a electron contrary to their current, during the whole time of the inundation; and this canules toasts alecen into the welfare parts of so Sofials, and the internet counter to the mountains, where lies the gold. The time effect, from the farm caufe, is produced on the western file towards the At- lanice; the high ridge of mountains being placed be-

Texttween the different countries west and caft, is at once the fourest of their riches, and of those rivers which consider to the treafures, which would be otherwise inaccessible, in the eastern parts of the Kingdoms of Bo- nin, Congo, and Angola.

TextThere were three remarkable appearances attacking the inundation of the Nile. Every morning in Abyffinia is clear, and the fun thines. About nine, a final cloud, not about four feet to break appears in the early whiting violently around as it upon an axis, but, arrived near the zenith, it frit abates its motions, then find us its form, and extends itself greatly, and forms to call up oppsons from all the specific quarters. These clouds having attained nearly the fame height, ruth again east and other with greet violences, and put me all in mind of Elilin interesting rain on month Carmel. The air impelled before the heaviest malo, or twifl moved, makes an importified of its form on the collection of cloud opposite, and the moment it has taken poffelion of the space made to receive it, the mold violett thunder profile to be conceived initially follows, with rain, a after some hours later by again clearly, with a wind as north; and it is always lifis-greedy old when the thermometer is below 63°.

Text4 The third is that remarkable flop in the extent of the rain northward, when the fun, that has concluded the vapour from the lines, and should form now more than ever to be in poffelion of them, is here over-ruiled suddenly; till, on its return to Corrir, again it returns the abloid command over the rain, and reconciledts it to the Line, to ten filn秆 de- lages to the forthand.?

TextWe regled to the Nile life!I, it has been fatal that the quantity of earth brought down by it from Abyfkina is to great, that the whole land of Egypt is produced from it. This question, however, is disculted under the article [2/vary, where it is flown than this cannot potibily be the cake.--Among other authorities that quoted was that of Mr Volory, who frequentally agree against the opinion of Mr Sivory and others, who have maintained that Egypt is the gift of the Nile. nevertheless they, however, we had him atturting that the fall of Egypt has undoubtedly been augmented by the Nile in which side it is not unreadable if dropped that it has been produced by it altogether. -4 The reader ( fays by it will conclude, doubtiels, from what I have field, that writers have flatters themselves are much in fuppeling they could fit the precise limits of the enlargement and ripe of the Delta. But, thought I would reject all library circunflances, I am far from decaying the fast to be well founded, it is too plain from realism, and in examination of the country. The rifle of the ground appears not demonstrated by an odibration on which little fresh has been laid. In going near Korkies to Cairo, when the waters are low, as an the mouth of March, we may remark, as we go up the river, that the shore rifles gradually above the water; to that if it overflowed
