AN ACCOUNT OP TUB
INBUN JUGGLER?;
By John Grauan Dalxsll, Esq. Advncule.
BAZKr.nras, a tribe of Indians, inhabiting
dJrtcn n» pr Is of the peninsula of Hind s
tan. Tlu appearance and manners of man
kind are so much diversified in the vari
nns countries where they dwell, thai ani
mated controversies have been excited,
whether all have had a common origin;
or whether they have sprung from Proto
plasts, whose conformation, at the begin
jiing of the world, was dissimilar. Some
maintain, that, in consequence oi the
changes produced by situation, climate
and circumstances, the present genera
tions may possibly exhibit figures and pro
portions altogether different from those
that distinguished their ancestors thou
sands i f y ears ago ; while others hold that
no such differences could appear, unless
they had actually formed a part of the o-
Tigiual confirmation of a race. The par
tisans of either theory have appealed to
that uniformity of features and customs
know ii to he Continued among tribes, who
preserve their own des. nit pure and tin
mixed with othei s, of which tin- Jews con
stitute a striking example ; and a case
snilie-'png similar, though not equally
prominent, is that >.f die Bazeegurs. This
clavs of people is recognized hy .-.everal ap
pellations, as Uazeegurs, Vanchperec,
Kunjuni, or Nuts; they fodow a mode of
life, distinguishing th in I'miti the Hindoos
among whom they dwell; they also ab
stain from intermixing then fimilies with
them, and from any intercourse h» whicti
they can be united. The name Bazeegnr
is smd vo signify a juggler; some etymo.
logistsi find a derivation ot conjuror from
Kunjura, which might certainly find a c r
rttboration from the similarity of prof, s
sions. In India, they are dispersed
throughout the whole country, partly m
wstidnrmg tribes, parly adhering to fixed
resiliences, bm the greater proportion
lea 1 a romadic life.
The Bazeegurs are divided into seven
casts, Uliaree, Athbhyeea, Itynsa, Vmbui
tee, K.lkoor, Ifmkmee, ami Gurgwar;
but are the same people, in ei marrying
as such, and avoiding al.iances witn otiio
tidies. Accord .g to their own traditions,
they descend front four brothers, who,
finding it difficult t» provide for their mi
ni rous followers, resolved to sepa.ate,
and to direct their course respectively t<
each quarter of the world; in coi.seV.
queues of which, one of (hem, named t?a,
arrived in Uetygal from Gazeepour dr Al
lahabad. II - took up his anode at Hoog
ly, and having governed his tribe peaces,
-fcly during many years, died at Vncour
%
poor, whither his posterity still repair to

some of the casts considered a woman cal
led Toota as the chief of the whole ; lu t
the power ascribed to the chief se. t.
nu rely nominal, scitfcely mounting to re
hlia.nl, and not at all to coercion. Munh
bungee only resisted the entrance of any
of the people, acknowledging the suptri
oi-ily of Toota, to »eik a livelihood in iln
territory occupied by Ins own sect; and
the latter were under the same prohibi
lion wilii respect to the places frequent
< d by her anil her dependents. Besides
those who are united into sets or cas's,
there are individuals who wander shout
endeavouring about endeavouring togaih
a precarious livelihood.
It is not evident, although the Bazee
gors are certainly distingue.lied hy then
niannen* and customs from the natives ol
Hindustan, that their features discrirniivUe
them as a separate race. Some of their
women are reputed to be very beautiful,
and are thence sought afier in those tem
porary alliances common in the East . The
manners of the I’anchperec an somewhat
different from those of the B zecgnrs;
and some of are more civilized
than others. U i..n already been obsei

performed; the mother of the bridegroom
advances with a sie'e containing rice,

of tin couple are touched, after being
waved around them; and the h ide is led
into the liottae, b- fore which there stands
a small fresh branch of the mangos tree in
no earthen pot of water. The meaning
of these ceremonies is not well understood;
but it is to he observed, that the origin of
most of the customs of the modern races ol
mankind, are lost in the darkness of an
tiquity. Some of ihe peasantry in Bri
tain have various ceremonies both at mar
riages and funerals, —such as breaking a
cake above the bead ot ibe br-de, oi
strewing iloweis on the bier of the necoa
sed, which have lescended Vom remote
ages, and arose from sources at.this day
unknown When tin sc ceremonies are
completed among the Uazeegurs, a new
scene of mir h is resumed; and towaids
evening, for the whole day front tin
breaking of dawn is thus occupied, th
bride is conducted to her own hut, when
those who are able retire ; but the majori
ty, and in gent nil the 9hdegroom among
'hi m, pass the night in a state of insensi
bility on the neighbouring plain.
From the earliest period they are ac
customed to intoxicating draughts; ev- n
infants of five or six months old are sup
plied with spirits, though their raotbers
suckle them during five or six years; and
it is not uncommon to observe several
c ildren of different ages haiigtng on inei’r
mother, and struggling to extract their
scan’y portion of nourishment, which is
gradually diminished by her own insatia
ble propensities to the same beverage
Many of the sects are very iudisenmate in
f .od ; scarce any thing is reject* d; dead
horses,. Jackals, and bullocks, are alik
acceptable ; and it has been suspected tlial
they-can even enjoy a repast of human
flesh. However this fact is not authenti
cated, and if analogical reasoning may be
.< limited here, We should be inclined to
deny it, because tbere is no proof that any

Should any of the managers be suspected •
ot giving an unfair account Os ins profits, a !
court is assembled, where tlie accused
must undergo the ordeal of applying his
tongue to a piece of red-hot ir.ou. It bus
appears that these lubes have a kind of

a sirdar or iule-, and that the whole air
subject to the Nardar l*ou ah These sir
daisai d ihe duel apparently constitute a
court ‘bribe trial of lUfnngenie't f their

which isexpiated by a line, and, ifil be an
aggravat'd offence, by the add tional pun

or lie is ttnivt-i sally ex-crated, and even

finds compliance indispensable, and altho’
the Bazeegurs pique thernselyes on their
honesty, it is conjectured that on a.ich oc
casions they do not entertain many scu
ples in acquiring what is so t.ssi nlial to a
vert t!;e indignr.iion of their f-Pows The
mulct being paid, is coii'ened to tfce ge
ima! behoof and affords a new opportu

die subject of reference either to a pun

coiTuneiicmg the business, both plaintiff
and deP udam must provide a quantity of
suirits pioponioned to the importance ol
the case. The party non-suited uUi- .ate

duced by the litigants. /■
A general coincidence in the mode of
life, the vocations, manners, and.language
of all the different sects of these people,
determine them as bel rnging to the same
race. The distinctions seen among them
are 100 trivial to admit of ill iv being con
sidered of separate ai d i (dependent ori

gonslodie Gipsies scattered over Europe
and Asia, where they subsist as a distinct
race from all die other inhabit . the
■ countries frequented by them—Both the
I Bazeegurs amt Gipsies have a chief of
king; each has a peculiar language, Ijear
,-g some reciprocal analogy, and dift’er
'•tit ffi m that of the people amongiwho-m
1 they reside, and this analogy is so deci
ded, tbui it is difficult to deny, that with
both it has had a common origin—ln India
■ and *n Europe, they me equally an itiner
ant race; their pur.su is, in so far. as modi
lied by tlie manners of countries distant
from cacli other, are alike; for tho dis
or; pancies they exhibit, may reasonably
be ascribed to an insensible acquisition of
the habits ot those near whom the various
tribes of mankind dwell. They are equal
ly indifferent as to th qua ity of the food
serving for rheir sitbsc-ueiic - ,• and equal
ly ignorant of systematic - religous princi
ples—Ah preserve the strictest a lharence
to their own sect, and sedulously abstain
from intermixtures or inti rmarriages with
t hose of every nation : and where infringe
menls of these rules a.-e seen, >hey are to
hi ascribed more to necessity than incli
nation—Another resemblance, which has
proli. bly been lost in the lause of tune, i
supposed to consist in the three-stringed
viol, introduced into Europe by the jug
gle sos the thirteenth cenlu.-y, w hich is.
exactly similar o the instrument now used
in Hiiulosian—Separate and disjoined,
these analogies may not carry couviciiou
ol tlie identity of the European Gipsies
vyfti the Imlian Bazeegurs, but, on uni
ting and combining die 1 whole, it does not
seem unlikely, that if Asia is their original
country, or if they have found their wm\
from Egypt to India, they may tlso have
emigrated further at a period of remote
an'iquuy, and reached the boundaries ol
Europe.

The advices just received from your
quarter, and also those recertly received
from New. York, though all expressing a
strong conviction tha your crop vvih b.
considerably deficient, have as yet had
little effect on our market Some of the
holders indeed are less disposed to sell at
former rates tve regret to find that your
new crop has opened at such extravagant
ly high prices, and we can sec no other
result, han that of heavy loses on all the
early shipments Three vessels homSa
vannuh and Charleston have already ar
rived with new cotton
December 6
We have no alteration of any moment
to notice in our las cotton market; there
' is but little doing, but the prices continue
tolerably steady There is another arrival
from Charleston with new cotton, but none
is yet sold, and only a little of whut pre
i iously came in landed About Ibd seems
to be expected for it

tlnr.k to do with such acc mnis We have
two cargoes of new crop from Savannah,
and 2 from your port, and 3 more from
ea-h place are expected soon. This t'oes
not look like a short crop, for we have
. never had so much so early, in all the re
collection of tlie Cotton traders Now vve
set ourselves down against every man, and
protest against him that he is mad, if he
goes over 14 cts for good Upland Cutton®;
and we have as little to do with him as pos

will not be more than two thirds of a
crop“

The prices are worse and worse; it is
impossible to say how far the decline will
go The Uplands aie given up at the
prices offered for, 'hat is to say 26 a 27
sous, some could be obtained at 25s
It is not expected that ( the Cotton of the
new crop will bring 30s The New-Or

The business is excessively dull; theie
