and title of the "Baron 1 1 1ashingtdu,"andaftertVards
to his two accomplished brothers: -On enquiry, to
my great surprise, I found they were the eons of a
very distinguished General (in the Bavarian army,)
and that he was of English origin. his ancestor hav
ing emigrated from Englund to Holland °u tile death
of Cromwell, that the late King, "Mrximillian;"
finding Gen. Washington a distinguished Major in
the service of Holland, had induced him to accept *-
command in his array, and that afterwards, being
distinguished in seven cam:aligns, he gradually reset
to the highest rank in the Bavarian army. The Ba-,
ron informed me, his father, dpring the lifetime - of
President ‘Vashington, had received leLt front
him, and that no doubt existed that the ancestor of
our General- Washington was the, brother of the
grandfather of the Bavarian Gauen!. The Baron

Tus Irvin-MOB oY AYatc#.—Becroft, a daring and
intelligent English voyager, has years ago dissipa
ted the delusion, that the interior of Africa is a "do ! .
sert waste." He has•shown that it is accessible to
navigation and trade; that the climate IS as healthy
as that of tl tropics generally; that there tire regions
of beautiful and fertile country, affording opportun
ities for legitimate chmmerce of-indefinite extension:
This adventureutts traveler explored the rivet Niger
within forty miles of Timbucto. He has throvin
light on thousands of miles of .richly fertile and

upon the ivory, vegetable, tallow, peppers, indigo,
cotton, wool„balin oil, dye woods, timber woods, -
skinq, ati a great variety of produce, which invite
the trade. To carry on this trade- in the vessels
which navigate the river, it is nece s sary to have
black-crews. The London Spectator remarks; "Qf
course the free blacks, educated iu the West India
trade, will become useful workmen in penetrating the
native land of their race. "-We must depend, least
for generations to come, on the black race.to supply
the bulk of the crews." , For our own part, we do
