PASSAGE OVER THE ANDES. Mr. Brighma, tho American missionary to South America, gives tho following description of the laderas, or the awful precipices in tho pusses over the Andes, through which he was obliged to go in the journey from Mendoza to Chili: “Leaving our place of cncampmont, we tra velled for four hours along the banks of a river on a gradually oscendiug, but yet wido and beautiful road. But now we reached the first laderas, of which I had heard much, dreaded more, and yet long wished to see. To con ceive the nature of these laderas, it must be understood that the road up this mountain, is a long, narrow, doep-cut valley, down wliieh de scends a large, swift river. The road is on the north side of tho stream, and generally the space between it and the parallel lofty moun tains, is ten or twelve rods widc, sufficiently so for a good road even for carriages. It occurs, however, in several instances, that a spar of this parallel mountain projects and extends to the vory brink of tho river, leavihg you the al ternative either to pass over itssnow-capt sum mit, or crawl along the precipice by the side of tho river, at the elevation of the common road. This lost course, by the ladera precipice, is sbmotimes tho only one where tho spur can bo passed. How this road along the laderas, or rather this narrow path, was first formed, it is not easy to see. The precipice or ’slopo of tbo mountain, towards the river, though not and a holC Mules are often lint here; not one year passes, in which several are not hurried down those gulfs, and cargoes lost.—But this is owing to tlie fact, that they carry boxes or sacks, of such magnitude as to strike against tho mountain above the path, and force the poor animal headlong off the other side, into the torrent below. That this might not occur with our mules and baggage, wo ordered lasos to be put around tho necks of those which had •he large and valuable cargoes, and that they should be led across the laderas. Bat this pre caution cannot be taken where a troop of sev eral hundreds pass, as is often done; conse quently. sometimes by mules crowding each o- ther, cargoes are lost. It is hut a short time since ono went down tho gulf with a load of seven thousand dollars in silver and gold. Jt were in vain to look for the lost article here, as and onocai?siSrceiy < g?tl!i'l^f ty, until it entors the Mendoza plains, thirteen miles below. In passing the first ladera, we were great ly alarmed for a short time, by a circumstance which grew out of carelessness. Not sending one forward on foot as wo ought, to see if tho way was clear, six of us advanced so far tjiat wo could not return, when we saw, entering the west cud of the ladera, a drove of mules, which must soon meet us. What was to he done!—For either party to return was impos sible; to pass each other no less so. I would bave sacrificed a limb to have been fee f om tho danger which threatoned/-r As good Provi dence ordered it, htercVer, our guido recol lected that in the centre of the laden, then out of sight, there was.a smill ravine, or break in tho mountain, where a brook descended, and und where, if we could re tch before tho iooso mules met us, we could probably halt in safety. VVe rcachod the wished for spot, and crowded our six mulos into a small excavation, which a Cascade, when tho brook was high, had made, and here waited until throe hundred and ninety mules anil four men had passed. We then came out of our den, and passed the other part of t he ladera, and reached in safety another Wido and good road. Just before night, we passed, the second la dera, called Ladera de las Ror.as, the worst of them all, but which, with CHUiion, wo passed in perfect safety. Over this I ventured my self to walk, and let the mule follow, but would never do it aguirt. One’s head is liable to swim, and then his feet to stumble, whereas u male’s head is always clear. The sagacity of this animal in travelling o- ver those rou-rli and dangerous.rotds untruly remarkable. When he steps on a stone that rolls, or finds his feet likely to give way, in stead of springing to recover himsolf like the horso, ho lifts his feet, andplaces them with.in creased slowness and caution until the danger is passed. When carrying baggage be «oon learns to keep at such distance from load ed mulos and other objects which he may meet, as that his cargo seldom strikes any thing around him. In crossing thnso narrow lade- ras, that the older baggage mules, to ovoid a contact with the mouutain above, would walk almost to the extreme lower edge of tho path. The caution of course arises no t from any de sign to preserve tho load in charge, but u> sayo themselves from the sovore jar, which every such contact gives them. In the worst and most dangerous places they are perfectly composed, and if let alone and suffered to pick their own Way, will carry you perpendicular, is nearly so, at on angle of enty-five if not eighty degrees with the horizon through them in safety,, but, as tho peanes say, “it is dangorous to force one' of those anim us where he, on mature deliberation, thinks it not best to go.’’ ' Nassau, (N. P.) March 17. undri Tho love of country and kindred, if such it may bo called in the present instance, was per haps pever more strongly exemplified than a- mongtho poorer part oftho native inhabitants of Eleuthora, where in some parts, the soil is so completely exhausted as scarcely to afford a subsistence to the people, even in the most fa vourable seasons; but owing to tho extreme dry ness of the last autumn and winter, the scarcity of Provisions has beon so great, that, we are informed, some of them have actually perished, when attacked with tho measles and not able to go out after fish, and otherwise Penguing,‘ as it is called. Upwards of sixty of those people, women nnd children, have been nt The length of tho lideiis is from twenty-five ™ P resa . ,no - b y.»° rao meaa ? to thirty rods, and tho path along the sides from one to two feel in width, just sufficient for tho mule to pass. The mountain on the right hand is so close, that silting on tho mule you often touch it with your knee, your hand and can sometimes with yonr head; and look ing up, its top is in the clouds. But on the left liand, the precipice below is tho place of hor ror. Y6u look down a gulf of fivo and in one placo seven hundred feet descent, at tho bot tom of which rolls the furious Mendoza, eight miles an hour, bearing on its top, trees, leaves, grass, and mud, and in its bed, stones and rocks continually rumbling, like distant thunder.— So steep is the descent, that little stones, jost led ftoin tho path, ore almost instantly in the rivor; and by one stumble, one slip of the mule, he falls headlong, and none but He who made tho mountains could save you. If there is a placo on this rugged earth which deserves to be called sublime, it is iliut .seen by him who passes the laderas in the Andfis of South Ame rica. . But whilo. I pronounce tho places described to be sublime, and oven awful to him who be holds them, I must dissent from the opinion of those, jvlio think there is, with proper caution, any serious danger in passing them.. What proves that thero is not, is the fact, that no ono whom I have seen, knows'of any human lifo having been here lost, although this road has been travollcd’for more than two centuries or other to quit their wretebod native spot, aud settle on Andros Island, where there is good land, and fish, &c. easily to bo procured. These poor people are now in town; their appearance shews their digressed situation, and will no doubt, excite the commiseration of those to whom better fortune his givon the means of administering to thoir wants. Tbo Commissioners of tho Poor House, hivo in a praiseworthy manner taken these people under protection, in tho moan time, und are, we un derstand, going to give them provisions far a few months until they can get some grounds under cultivation nt Andros Island, which tho spring rains may enable them to plant, nnd where they may, with moderate indostry, live in, at least comparative comfort.- • v Tim widow of tho celebrated circumnaviga tor, Captain James Cook, is still living at Clap- ham, England, in the full enjoyment of all her faculties. > It will bo recollected that the Countess do Lavalette, after the stratagem for the deliver ance of her husband from the Canciergcrie, in which she cut so conspicuous a figure with S.r Robert Wilson, BIr. Hutchinson, and Mr., Bruce, fell into a state of insanity. We are happy to loam .that this lady has ju»: been res tored in health to her family, after five years attd a half medical treatment. iM .■ i W mm mam
