Ab'8lBla EniUrOj O tS. i... Editors Journal In thi3 country, as well as in Great Britain, there la much interest felt in thoiitiUitaU of the expeditionary force equipped by the latter, an l scut into Abyssinia at an immense expense, for the purpose of liberating a few JJritjsh subjects, held in captivity byTheodore King, Emperor or Sul tan, ?of that' terra incognita, the land Of ''Prester John;" and this interest has, very naturally, given impulse and direction to the intellectual activities of the civilized world in enlightening the public mind ns to the material, moral and intellectual condition of that singular people. Accordingly, we find individuals of the most eminent mental abilities and ndustry emp!oyed in searching libraries, both public and private, and also ransacking the archives of the nations which have had political or commercial intercourse with the people and governments of the States of Aby.-sinia, for facts in relation to their manners, re!ig:on, history, government, and physical resources. Tae result, consequently, is that much very valauable and interesting information has been exhumed, and given to the public, and now, although our knowledge is far from complete aud accurate in regard to that country and its peculiar inhabitants, yet enough is known to excite our curiosity to learn everything concerning it and them. THE GEOGRAPHICAL SITUATION OP - ABYSSINIA. The ancient limits of the once powerful and extensive Empire ofEthiopia were far greater than at preseut. The history of all barbarous or seraibarbarous nations shows that a succession of warlike chieftains may, by successive conquests, establish an empire, ana tnat tne empire may partially subsist for a number of generations; but that immediately after their establishment, their natural progress has beep, towards anarchy aud despotism. First one and , then an other able and enterprising chief of an qutlying dependency revolts; and. by force of arms, succeeds , in achieving his indei pendence from the corrupt and enervated central despotism, until, as in the case of Abyssinia, its territorial limits are circumscribed within boundaries which diminish the rnnk, power, and importance of the 6mpire to a level with the surrounding jealous and independent tribes. Abyssinia has been n9 exception to this rule; and we find that the empire of Northern Abyssinia consists of an elevated tract of country, extending about 400 miles from north to south. tending eoutnwesterjy ; ana ouu miles in its greatest wi 1th. This is all that now belongs to the Christian tribes of Abyssinia; and it lias aptly been designated the "Switzerland of Africa," on account of its' physical pecularities, as it is traversed by high mountain ranges, in which are" found the sources of the tributaries either of the Atbara (the Black N lo.) flowing into the Nile above Berber, or of the Azrek (the Blue Nile,) which nnite with the White Nile at Knartoum. This territory, thus intersected with mountains, is divided into elevated table lands, ranting in altitude from 14,000 to 4,000 feet above thelevel of the ocean. The channels of the wa'er eourse-i run through deep, and occasionally malarious valleys; but the country is generally salubrious, aad well suppi cd with water, and resembles, in productiveness and salubrity, the plateau of Anahuac in the heart of Mexico; and, like Anahu-ic, it possesses its tierra qalieulc, its lierrc tcmStada,1 and its tierra fnay arid prouces, and is capable of producing, the fruits and cereals of every latitude. The raisiug of stock appears to demand most of the attcntiuu of the inhabitants, aud such domestic animals as the horse, homed cattle, and the sheep, are equ lly benefitted by beiDgraised on soil aud in a climate so exceedingly prop:cious. But opulent as is Abyssinia in agricultural and animal treasures, its greatest wealth remains, doubtless, undeveloped ia the bosom of the earth. It is known to contain vast coal deposits; and it is not unreasonable to suppose that copper and iron, as well as the prec'ous metals, exist in abundance. The preceding physical discription of what is properly to be cousidored Abyssinia, does not accord wit che delineations of the country as ordinarily found on our maps; for our modern geographers are almost as ignorant of its dimensions and conformations as were the ancients. Indeed, ir is a matter of wonder that so little is known of Africa throughout, when we take into consideration that it is to portions of it that Europe is niainly indebted ior the germs of civil zntion and science. The Abyssina of our maps lies South of the Nubian provinces of Eaypt, skirts the coasts of the lied Sea from about the seventeenth degree of north latitude to the Straits of Babelnianded and the Aden waters; thence westward as far as the coufluence of the Blue Nile. It is within the boundaries thus roughly sketched that the dominions of Theodore are ecc'osed. ' DRIBLETS OF ITS HISTORY. Abyssinia, under its pretentious title, as ancient as the Illiad, of the Empire ot Ethiopia, ha3- been known to the uoliter neoDle of EuroDe and Northern Africa for ages, -its histonans trace the Imeage of the royal 1 ou.se of Abyssinia to Solomon and hii beautiful vitoV the Queen of .-.! i j tl Tt;f

The Kngllsb. and

But wfielbl the rulers oi an oriL'in I that while Europe was m a eemi-eivilized fttat i, there subsisted a compact, pOweiful and wi ll governed people in Abyssinta:ThTS gOTcrnmetsirxnrdesTrotJ'c in form, aad extended ita eway beyond its Northern and Western borders. It was moulded ; after the pattern of the Jewish monarchy; but its laws were drawn from the code of Justinian, and they affected great, reiect for and professed to maintain- Christian morality. . The knowledge , of this people seems to have , been lost to Europe in the general darkness which clouded the understandings of mankind after the destruction of the Koinan Empire. But so strong had it become in the fifteeuth century that the fame of its monarch, its marvels, and its fabulous riches, excited the avaricious desires of the King of Portugal, who made ineffectual efforts to reach it. At length Vasco D'i Gama doubled tho Cape of Good Hope, and, arriving at the coast of Zanguebar, fitted out an expedition whiuh, after many vicissitudes of fortune, reached Gondar. The force was commanded by Christopher, Vasco's brother, who, it appears, had either no inclination, or was too weak to effect a permauent settlement. This expedition was followed by one of a missionary character, which seems to have met with no better success. . That which has in no small degree excited an interest in the present and past history of the singular people inhabiting AbyssinU is its strange system of religion. Surrounded by either Pagan' or Mohammedau Delivers, it' maintains a worship gro tesquely compounded of Christianity, Judaism, Jlohamedani-m and idola try, which has a wonderful effect upon the imaginations of its votaries, but is entirely powerless in refining their manners or humanizing their hearts lh, Church ot IMhiopia derives its origin Irom rreamentius, a Tyrian Presbyter, who, in the commencement of the fourth century receved from the exalted Patriarch Athanasius, the foe of the Arian heresy, the station of the Bishop of Axum. The aluna, or primate, is still appointed at Alexandria. Abyssinia was bound to Europe, after its conversion, by a common faith; and religioul zeal and political expediency kept the connection alive.. At the instigation of Justinian, .Arabia was . invaded," but the Abyssinian army and its conquests were ulti-, mately lost. Had they succeeded, Mahomet would have been crushed in his cradle, and Europe would not have to deplore the disastrous effects of his successful imposture. We cannot do better in describing the names of the people composing the inhabitants of the two provinces, Atnhara and Tigre people having different languages and differences in religion than to give extracts from Plowden's admirable and exhaustive criticism on Abyssinian manners and ch-rajter: " The manners of the Amhara ,are pleasing. Their features are generally of the European and Asiatic, that is, Arab cast, and they are remarkably quick and intelligent. Their standard of morality is very low; sensual pleasures, as intoxication, are gratified without scruple and without shame; in general, the iuterest or convenience of the moment are the ouly rule of conduct want of tact and ill-temper the only crime in their code." '"The people of Teegray (Tigre) are somewhat different in character; with more of the obstinacy of their Jewish blood, they are ruder and vainer, than the Amhara, noisy, quarrelsome, and talkative. Though nearer the sea they are even more ignoraut of other nations; they despise all. the human race but themselves, and generally each man all existing but himself. Ou the whole, I think them inferior to the Amhara; but they are more laborious and more trustworthy individually, though politically treacherous." TII.S ORIGIN OF THE ANGLO ABYSSINIAN DIFFICULTY. An Englishman, by the name of l Plowdeu, on his journey home from India, took Abyssinia ou li is route, and found another countryman named Bell, settled, naturalized, and married to a native in Abyssinia. Both men were of an enterprising temper, and of cultivated minds. Both saw what advantages misfit be accrued to England could they succeed in securing the subjection of the country under British influence. This they partially accomplished when Plowdtn, who obtained from the English Government the appointment o: Consul to Abyssinia, with a residence at Hassowah, succeeded in concluding a treaty on the 2d of No vember, 1849. The protection aud development of British trade was the ostensible object of this treaty; and it stipulated an interchange of Envoys; the independent jurisdiction of the British Consul over British subjects accused of any crime in Abyssinia;, and the opening of the trade peace ably, as far as possible, with the coast. .In 1852 this treaty was ratified by lias Ali, the then ruler in Abyssinia; ibut . difficulties, not at first foreseen, lay in the way ot a final adjustment and ratification on the part of.Great Britain. Internal troubles 'arose . in1 Abyssiuia. The Ras Wits overthrown by the present EinnjrptvThfodore, a name he assumed arter "his ,, successes had made , his teower se ;uie. To complicate matters, both Plowden atid Bell, who. had espoused the cause of Theodore, were killed in a battle between the forces of Tneodore and an insurgent chief.

named Agow Negu-iie. But Theodore,

when, he came Uo. understand . the.Jia...i.nearly completed at Kosomo

ture ot the Con.-ular establishment, from -the jealousy and vanity of his nature, never, liked it, and now that Plowder and Bell "' were destroyed rfret-ffpdtharho wa3 rei;cvej 0f it. Jiut not so, for after a long delay,, Captain Charles Duncan Camtron received the appoiutment. In 1SG2 he was received by the Negus, Theodore, at his Capital, Gondar. At this iuterview the .Negus was ditrustful and touchy. One reason which operated ou the mind of Theodore to the prejudice of the treaty, was that it was ratified by his predecessor, whose authority Theodore, by no means, was' willing to recognize; or by whose acts was he willing to bind himself. The British Government, too, manifested no willingness to grant a re ciprocityof rights of legation. This the Negus insisted upon, while the British Government, afraid to lose by so doing, her iufluence in E-;ypt, the natuial enemy of Theodore, and tho ally of England, withheld her consent to receive an embassy from his sable mijesty of Abyssinia, whose character is well described in what follows: "He is peculiarly jealous," wrote Mr. Plowdeu in 18o5, "of his sovereign rights, and of anythiu? that appears to touch on them. He wishes in a ohort t rue to send embassies to the grca tE u npa n Powers,to treat with them on eq i.il terms. The most difficult trait in his character is this jealousy, and the pride that, fed by igtoranco, renders it impossible for him yet to believi- that so great a monarch as hiraselt rxi.-sts in the world."" This description coincides with the latter ace unit vriven by Mr. Dufton, who, u d-.'siiiii-.' with the Question of Theodora's objectiou to foreign consulates, observes: " The King's idea is, that the existence of no other power should be recoguiz ;d in the country besides his own, and that all persons residing in his territories, natives or foreigners, must obey the laws of the land, aud be subject to him entirely. It is an instacce of his singularly jealous character, and of his view of despotism. If, therefore, a consul ventures into the country, he must not do so with the idea that his person will be considered sacred, or that the power rep esented by him will impose awe; but he must be prepared to stand on the same footing as a native of the country. Hence the tubsequent imprisonment of the French and English Consuls, in whatever light we may choose to regard it, was not looked upon by Theodore as an infringement of the rights of nations, for rights of this nature he had never recognized. I believe, however, with regard to ambassadors the case is different, and that the custom of anc ient nations in respect to them holds good in Abyssinia ; at all events, the persons of messengers passing between two contending armies are held sacred." In the meantime. Theodore was aggravated by rebellions in various parts of his dominions, and he suspected that the English and French were abetting them. Besides these troubles, the Egyptians on the North were making eucroachments on his territory; and he, therefore, wrote a circular letter of appeal to the Sovereigns of France "and England, beggiog their aid and friendship in behalf of the Christians of Abyssinia against the hosts of Islairt. The letter to England was received at the Foreign Office, pigeonholed, and never answered. This enraged the jealous and proud Negus, and his amiability of temper was riot improved when the missionaries Stem and Kasenthal made him a subject of their fboiish vilification. This capped the climax of his wrath, aud he imprisoned them. Consul Cameron was also arbitrarily arrested some months afterwards, and imprisoned. England has exhausted every means of pacifying the implacable barbarian, but to no purpose. The missionaries, the Consul, and attendants still remain in the mountain fastness of Magdala ; a warlike expedition, such a? Theodore has never engaged in fight, is approaching the heart of his dominions; hostile and disaffected tribes surround him, yet he views his situation without fear, and without complying with the demands of his enemies. He is making every preparation to emratre them, and to defeat them. But we apprehend that he will learn too late hew foolish he has been in gratifying his rage and hate at the expeose oi bringing upon his couutrv a w 11 dis ciplined, intrepid, enterprising foe, armed- and equipped with a l the modern appliances of war. and com manded by officers skilled in all the arts of a warfare such as he is likely to adopt. We follow with an in creasing interest the progress of the expeditionary torces, teeling that although war is an evil, yet it is often attended with compensating advantages; and if this one results in oringing tne tribes and, nations of Africa into closer alliance with the nations ot Christendom, it will be worth i:s cost.
