TRAVELLER IN EGYPT. FROM THE NATIONAL ADVOCATE. [Among the Intercepted Letters, which have fallen into our hands and which we have lately published, is the following from a traveller in Egypt to Sir Joseph Banks, President of the Royal Society J Cairo, the 18th of Dec. 1812. Dear Sir, I had the honor of writing to you, from here on the 12th of September and 15th of November My List was ac companied by the journal of my journey through Arabia Petr-cea. I enclose at present some additional notes and cor rections concerning the description of the Bedouin nation and the various trib- s in the vicinity of Syria. In want of conveyance to the west ward, I have so long tarried at Cajiro, in order to wait for the decrease of the Nile. I have already mentioned to you, in my last, the project of penetrating along the Nile into Nubia, in the king dom of Dongola. For I am led to think that the exploring of the country be yond which is the most southern point on the Nile’s bank north of Senaar European travellers have reached, ■would be a valuable increase to African geography. The wish of getting ac quainted with the inhabitants of Upper Egypt and Benebra, as well as with the African Bedouins, rpakes me prefer the mode of travelling by land to that of water, which latter is generally adopt ed in visiting the Nile valley up to the first cataract, as being less fatiguing and more secure, although it is subject to great disadvantages and to very con siderable expenses. I hope to be able to start upon this journey next week; the inland canals of Upper Egypt are now dried up and therefore passable. I ana accompanied by a faithful servant. We are both armed and mounted upon asses, which is the most common vehi cle of Egypt. The Pacha, who is a more liberal man than any Turkish Go vernor I ever knew, has furnished us with the necessary letters of recom mendation in the manner I desired them to be written out, and I have credit from several merchants of Upper Egypt as far as Ibrim the chief town of the Benebra south of the cataract. As far as I can judge at present I hope to be buck towards the month of June, for I may probably find it expedient to a bridge my journey in returning by wa ter—-No caravan from the westward is expected to arrive before July. The merchants generally remain for a cou pie of months at Cairo. I shall there fore have sufficient time after my re turn to prepare for my journey to Fez zan. I have visited the neighborhood of this town, the pyramids, See. but shall not intrude upon your patience in at tempting to give you a description of ■what has been for years the subject ®f so many accurate inquiries, as well as of learned tales.—An Egyptian travel ler, indeed finds at present little more left to do, except for the pencil, if it is not to describe the state and customs of the lower class, which have been too n uch neglected.—The peasant’s cot tage, and the Bedouin’s hut are gener ally overlooked when a magnificent view of Osiris’ temple is in view. Some individuals belonging to the caravan of the Twadees, that was here at my arrival, gave the following ac count of Mr. Horneman. Two English men, they said, who had lately turned Turks hao joined their Caravan at Cai ro, in the time of the French invasion to proceed With them to Fezzan. They were ill-treated on the road by the peo pie of Siwad. Arrived at Fezzan, one of them died; the other went to Tripoli, in order to take up money from the En glish consul, and again returned to I'\z zan, from whence he proceeded towards Bornon, and has since never been heard of. This well agrees with Hombman’s account and the-death of his compan ion, as mentioned in his last letters to the Association.—-It showe that he was known to be an European.—The know ledge of his origin might probably not affect his stcunty during his residence at Fezzan, "whose inhabitants are in sono measure dependent upon Tripoli, and cannot be strangers to the reputa tion the Frank name enjoys in the Le vant, but if the report of his being an Englishman followed him into Soudon, the news of M. Park’s expedition may probably have endangered the success of his own enterprise. I understand that some hopes arc entertained in En gland of Mr. Horneman’s having reach ed Abyssinia by the report that a white man had been seen in mat country. Be sides mat the appearance of a white man is not so great a curiosity in Abys sinia as to make it an object of public news; the report, if traced to its source, might perhaps be found to relate to an other traveller whom 1 have lately seen here. Mr. Boenike, a Hanoverian, or as he called himself fanah, had gone over from Portugal to B«rbary 4 years ago in order to put his project in exe cution of visiting the interior parts of Afica. After having staid half a year at Fez, he reached Tafikhund Sedjanc- Suh on the east side of mount Atlas, both of which towns have a direct intercourse with 1 ombuctoo; but it seems that the principal trade of that town is in the funds 0‘ the inhabitants ot Tu-s an m- dependent Oasis, 14 days journey S. E of Tafileh—Finding he was in total want of c. sh, he was unable to proceed to Tuat and Tombuctoo, and returned afterwards to the coast. He departed thence for the Morea and arrived last year in Egypt, a country which he had already visited 8 years ago, when he had likewise seen Syria. An English gentleman Mr. Broughton, was then preparing for a journey into Upper Egypt; Mr. Boenike accompanied him as interpreter and left him on his re turn from Assouan at Kene, for he had now conceived the plan of entering A fricaby the Abyssinian side. He proceeded to Cossier, from thence to Djidda and Massuah. But the same cause which had already once put a stop to his pursuits, again prevented him from succeeding. After having entered the mountainous country called Hamkeen north of zYxum, in a western direction from Massuah and pushed on as far as 9 days journics from the coast, he unfortunately saw that it was impos sible to proceed without having money sufficient to pay a guide, and he had al ready spent; down to the last farthing of his cash. The depression of his spirits operated on his health; he fell serious ly ill, and would probably have fallen a victim to his bold enterprise had it not been for the charity of a common pros titute who spoke Arabic and nursed him in her miserable hut for several weeks. The country he had passed through was perfectly quiet, the people through out hospitable, and the roads safe. With a hundred dollars in his pocket he would have thought himself capable of visiting Gondar and the whole kingdom, provided he had a gun to defend him self against the attacks of wild beasts, which he represents as innumerable in the woods through which his road lay Alone, without any companion, he traced his way back to the coast, was lucky enough to find a free passage to Djidda and from thence to Yamboo, where Tousoun Pacha, the commander of the expedition against the Wahabees, then resided. He found here a protector in the person of Tousoun Pacha’s first household officer and treasurer, an En glishman, taken prisoner in the Rosetta affair, who had afterwards turned ^urk. and is now his master’s favourite. He equipped him in clothes, and sent him passage free to Suez, from whence Mr Boenike returned in August last to Cai ro. He proceeded in September to A 1 -xandria, with the intention of return ing home to Hanover. Mr. B. speaks but little Arabic and is of a weak con stitution.—Ail his acquaintances giye him a very high character. It is a pity that he dvpises money too much, although experience has taught him that a little of it is every where necessary. He has thus neglected all means of getting a livelihood, which he might easily have got, having long ago publicly embraced the Turkish faith,and which might have enabled him to spare a sum sufficient for his travelling plans. But it is still more to be regretted, that he is without any literary education. He never kept a journal during the whole titpe ©f his travels. An invincible desire of suing, rather than of examining foreign, un known countries hurried him on If his foresight was equal to his ardour, he would ere now, have probably succeed ed in Africa. At the time of my arrival at Akppo, I had taken the opportunity of mention ing to you the name of Aly Beycl Abas sy, a European travelling as a Turk who had passed through Syria, coming from Egypt. I suggested then my be lief of his being Badia, the Spaniard, whose portrait I had seen in your libra ry. I was not mistaken. This myste rious person that had set all the Consuls and Europeans in the Levant in motion, is known to nobody but to the Spanish Consul in Egypt, who had furnished him with funds for his travelling ex penses, against his bills upon the Prince of Peace. These bills to the amount of 48,000 piastres, were not honoured be cause they reached Madrid at the breaking out of the Spanish revolution. Badia’s papers contained the account of his travels to Mecca and Medina and of his meeting with the Wahabee chief, were deposited at the Consul’s and were now sequestered by him together with many other effects belonging to Badia, until that sum should be repaid. But ever since Badia’s ai rival at Con stantinople in 1807, nothing has been heard of him any more. A belief was entertained at Aleppo of his being still with the Prince of Peace, from the re port of a person who thought to have re cognised him in the retinue of king Charles IV, at Marseilles. The Spanish consuls of Alleppo and Acre have de posits of other papers and effects be longing to the same traveller, who did not wish to expose them to the chances of a journey over -land to Constantino ple Badia arrived in Egypt by sea from Tunis, having been obliged to quit the-kingdom of Fez, after having been in great favour with the Emperor. The summer houses in the European style, which were built under his direction lor the Emperor, were seen by the be iorem&nuoned Mr. Boenike during his residence at Fez. B..dia made in Egypt a very great figure. He had a large reti nue, and lived splendidly without hardly ever stirring out of doors. The luiks, who seemed to disbelieve the story es his origin being derived from the Abas; les, and to doubt of his sin- 1 gular for ones throughout life, were hushed to silence by the valuable pre sents he distributed to every one which approached him. He permitted him self to be visited by all the Europeans although he was lodged in the house oi a Sheiku of the great mosqu el Azhar His retinue followed him to Mecca but he discharged the greater part of his servants at his departure for Syria It seems that his journey was under taken against the wish of the Spanish ministers, especially Cevallos, under the exclusive patronage of the Prince of Peace. If Spanish independence is once settled, the Cortez might be called upon to own Badin's papers as national property, although their author may be known in Spain as a creature of the Prince of Peace. As an enterprising traveller, he certainly belonged to no party but to his nation at large. M. Boenike mentioned to me that he had heard the Abyssinians talk of a country on their southern frontier, where the coffee-tree grows wild in the forests. He had likewise been inform ed that there was one Englishman (pro bably Pierce) and two Frenchmen at the court of the king at Gondar. There was no news from Mr. Seetrin at Caiio. There has been a report of his death contained in a letter from Mokha, but it has afterwards been contradicted. It appears that he entered the continent of Africa south of Cape Gardafur. Last week the official news arrived here of the taking of Medina in the month of November, by the army un der the command of Tousoun Pacha, the son of Mohammed Aly. About 4000 Wahabees were killed and several hundred of them taken prisoners, which latter are daily expected here, and are to be sent to Constantinople, in order to make in the capital a curious and probably a bloody show. The progress of the Turkish army is less due to the valor of the troops employed on that occasion, than to fortunate circumstan ces. The Bedouins of the borders of the Red Sea had been in the habit of draw ing their supplies of corn and barley from Egypt, by way of Suez and Cos sier. Finding these supplies cut off, they had no other alternatives than to leave the party of the Wahabees and join the expedition, or to starve. The snips necessary for the transportation of the army from Suez to Yambo, are ail built at Boulak, the port of Cairo, and transported upon camels across the de sert to Suez. Other Bedouins were brought over by presents and promises; several of the principal army chiefs married into the families of the most powerful Shieks, and thus the tribes who inhabit the space between the sea and Medina were engaged to make common cause with the Pacha, although they had last year fought under the Wahabee banners, and been the princi pal instruments in defeating the first corps of troops that was sent towards Medina. The Shereef who commands at Mokha and Djedda under the con trol of Ibn Sacud, has been constantly wavering in his conduct. He at one time made some secret overtures to Mahommed Aly, and afterwards again supported the Wahabee interests. There can be but little doubt, Mecca will soon share the same fate with Me dinah, nor is it supposed that Djidda will offer any serious resistance If MahommcdAly succeed in completing the conquest of Hedj.iz and in keeping possession ot that country, his ambition m y probabiy lead him to further pro jects. His speculative genius will find a rich field m planning commercial schemes Being, as he now is, the chief merchant of Egypt, he will, in the same manner, become the head trader of the Red Sea, and extend his commerce towards the Indian ocean. It is to be apprehended that the posses sion of Djidda will prove detrimental to the interests of the East India Com fiany, India produce will be smuggled by his ships into the Red Sea, as it is by the Arabs of Meskah into the Persian Gulf, and my thus again find its old way by Alexandria into the Mediterra nean. These suppositions acquire a great deal of probability from the eager desire the Pacha shows on every occa sion to extend its commerce; and the French mission in Egypt does its ut most to engage him to revive the an cient trade of the Red Sea. In order to add a stimuious to Mahommed Aly’s vigorous preparations for the Arabian campaign, the Porte has repeatedly promised him -to add to his government the Pachaliks of Acre, Damascus and Aleppo, in case he should succeed in opening a free passage to the Moham medan pilgrims. Il is not probable that the Grand Signor should really have the intention of giving up these provinces, to increase the power of a vassal, who is even now beyond |the reach of his jurisdiction. But Moham med Aly has already began to quarrel with the Pacha of Acre; he certainly has his eyes upon Syria, and knowing as I do the state of that country, I am convinced would find much less resist ance in invading it, than Abou Dahab experienced 30 years ago. His name, a<s the deliverer of the faith and the holy city, that stands already ^qual with that of Sultan, will poweriuily operate in his favor. He has the interest of the clergy or all the religious people. If he lives to pursue his plans, there i§ lii- tie doubt he will succeed in creating J 1 power in the East which will divide the empire, and counterbalance the authori ty of the Grand Signor. The conquest of Hadjaz, however, may be found more easy than the keep ing possession of that country and of its communications with the harbors on the Red Sea; although Tousoun Pa cha has ordered forts to be constructed at every 5 or 6 hours’ march distance between Medina and Yambo, the har bor of the Red Sea, where the army stores are kept. The Bedouins may fgain find it expedient to rejoin the Wahabees; the Pacha may become tir ed of feeding them with presents as he does at present; the income of the cus tom house of D jidda, which is the prin cipal revenue of the Hadjaz, may not be found sufficient to keep an army of at least 6000 men garrisoned in the ho ly cities, and as many more in the open country. The allegiance of the nations of the Hadjaz is doubtful, because they are much attached to the family She reefs who govern them the Pacha’s son himself may take into his head to declare himself independent of his fa ther. In general, the conquests of Turkish Pachas are seldom of any du ration, because, instead of endeavoring to establish their power in the conquer ed province upon firm principles, they employ their authority merely to extort money, and thus soon exasperate the people of the count’ y. It must, howe ver, be said in justice to Mohammed Aly, that he has given proofs in Egypt of great skill and first rate talents in se curing to himself the peaceful posses sion of the whole country, which for centuries past had ever been accustom ed to a rapid change of its masters. He does not extort money from any in dividual, and is very rigid in the exe cution of justice; but the people suffer from the monopolists. Every article of trade as far as relates to home produce, is formed from the Pacha, whose income thus increases, together with the price of every thing These farms, together with the corn trade, are the principal branches of the Pacha’s revenue. Last year, corn to a vast amount was sold at Alexandria to English merchants, and part of it shipped for the Pacha’s own account to the ports of Spain. The principal farms of revenue are coining of money (The person who is at the head of the mill pays 15 000 purses per annum to the Paaha, or about 300,000 pounds sterling Soup, tobacco, silk, salt, na tron, wood, oil, cotton, wine, sugar and many others even the camels' dung, which in the East is used instead of firewood, principally in the public baths, has been lately farmed out. Tnls mode of collecting the revenne, although it may be a very eligible one for a Turk ish state, and is certainly preferable to the system of extorting from individu als, which is generally adopted in the East—this mode, I s.y, of course, plea ses the rich people; but the poorer class who, in other parts of Turkey, pay little or nothing to government, suf fer a great deal from the high price ot the articles, even of the first neces sity. I have the honor to be, with great truth and respect, sir, your most obedi ent humble servant, J. S. BURCKHARDT, Alias Ibrahim. NEWBERN ACADEMY. The trustees of Newbern Academy are de sirous to engage a fit person as Principal of that institution. The inducements which the situation presents are not undeserving of the notice of gentlemen, perfectly qualified for the undertaking, and disposed to pursue it as a permanent employment. The funds of the aca demy are certain, arising from landed property, and enable the trustees to offer to the principal teacher a Jixed salary of one thousand dollars. Competent assistants will be procured to di minish his labors. There is no town on the southern sea-board more healthy than Newbern. There are certainly none in which the means of subsistence are more cheap or abundant, and but few that contain a society better suit ed to the habits of a literary man or of a decent family. It may not be amiss to state, also, there is a vacancy in the office of clergyman, well in the Episcopal as in the Presbyterian 'congregation of the town. A respectable mi nister of the gospel of either of those denomi nations, might not only superintend the acade my, but as pastor of the church would no doubt receive an additional and handsome compensa tion from the members of his religitms society. Applications addressed to either of the sub scribers will receive the most prompt atten tion. By order of the Board of Trustees, FRANCIS HAWKS, President JAMES G. STANLY, Sec’y. Newbern, N. C.

It is stated in the Salem Register, that the sales of Prize Goods brought into that port by our privateers since the commencement of the war, amount already to the enormous sum of six hundred and seventy five thousand, six hundred and ninety Jive dollars. The Snap Dragon's Prize Sale. The sak.s at Newbern of the prize goods of the Snap Dragon privateer, commenced on Monday last and closed on the Friday evening following. A bout 300 merchants were supposed t® be present, assembled from all -the towns from Boston to Augusta. The sales we understand averaged about 12 dollars for each pound sterling invoiced. The sales amounted to near four hun dred thousand dollars. Plattsbu. g, Oct. 16. On Tuesday last about 200 infantry and forty sailors, arrived here. On Wednesday last the 10th Regi ment marched from this place to the Westwaad. Gen. Izard arrived in the Steam-boat on Wednesday, he has gone on to join the army. On the morning of the 14th instant, Gen. Humpton’s army was still at the Four Corners. It is reported that a party of British have been into Champlain, and plunder ed the inhabitants without mercy. A BRITISH MAJOR. The following gasconading notice was sent out to Judge Moore, of Cham plain, by Major Perreault, who com mands about 60 Canadians and Indians at Odletown. A few nights previous to the promulgation of this petty mandate, our militia had attacked a picket near the lines, which so excited the ire of the British Major, that he issued, with out delay, the following humane ad vertisement.** “La Colei \Gth Oct. Citizens of Champlain I am happy that humanity should still have so much power over me so a& to inform you that should any of me militia of Champlain, be found hovering this side the line, I will let loose upon your village and inhabitants, tiie Cana dian and Indian force under my com mand. You are probably aware that it has been with the greatest difficulty I have till now withheld them. But your cowardly attack at midnight, of a small picket of ours, has torn asunder the veil which hid you from them. So beware 1 J. PERREAULT, Major Commanding ad fiost. P. S. Major Perreault would be ob liged to the hon. Judge Moore, to ac quaint the citizens of Champlain of the tenor of the above humane advertise ment.” Vincennes, find Ter.) Oct. 9: The Indians have again made their appearance on our frontiers On Sun day last in the afternoon they fired upon and killed one man and wounded another in captain Shoult’s company of rangers, near the block house on Embarrass, ‘^t was believed the party of Indians con sisted of between fifteen and twenty— the man killed received five balls and seven passed through his hat—the other was wounded in a number of places. A party of rangers next day started after them, and we have since been informed had got upon the trail; they had not returned when our paper went to press. Norton, the Indian Chief frequent ly spoken of during the present war in Upper Canada, is a man of education, has travelled in Europe, and been re ceived with distinguished attention for his talents and amenity.

I was attacked with a most violent cold, a severe cough arid pain in the breast, which continued to grow worse—during which my appetite failed, and my vaice altered so much that it was with the utmost exertion I could pronounce a single sentence louder thin mv breath.

Warner and Hanna, which I accordingly did—and to those persons, un ibquUmted with the merits of this medicine, it wilT appear astonishing that three dose’s should remove the pains in my breast, and the use of one bottle only restored me to per fect health J.
