happy fhonld we be if pearces late- ment fhould be found correct and the illuftrious pi flill in exiftence that pearce gave the relation to the writer of the letter we do not doubt but we queftion the truth of the relation theie is a greater weight of evidence to prove the melancholy fate of park than there is to prove his being dill in exillence no in telligence has been received from him cnce he left sanfanding in the year 1805 and this facl itfclf is a fttong prefumption that he is not now in exigence and a cor roboration of the feveral accounts which have been publifhed refpeifting the manner of his death the moft recent of which we infcrted laft week pearce we fuppofe obtained his intelligence refpccling park in abyfinia but the diflance of tom- buftoo from the eaftcrn coaft is fo

the truth of pearces relation many of our readers may have read the nanative of robert adams a failor who was wrecked in iflio on the weflm coaft of avira detained by the arabs of the great dcfart and

pearces ftory be true en gaged in explaining to the rude and ignor ant natives the fublimc fcience of aftrono- my is it at all probable either that ad ams would not have feen or heard of fo wonderful a man or that park would not have found fome means of communication with adams the writer of the letter ktates that when he met him at juddah pearce was endeavouring to make hi way to tom- bnaoo this in our opinion is as im probable as the toiy about parks for where io this juddah it is no doubt the wellknown feapwit of arabia felix en the red sea if it be fo and if pearce was endeavouring to
