humloldt the Traveller.*— Professor Pallas, tfc* 305 



HUMBOLDT THE TRAVELLER. 



It gives us much pleasure to be able to state that the ru- 

 mours of his death, which have found their way into dif- 

 ferent journals and newspapers, are unfounded. A letter 

 from Baltimore in America, dated the 16th of June last, 

 states his arrival there from his tour through a great part of 

 South America ; and we learn by subsequent accounts that 

 he reached Bourdeaux on the 6th instant (August), accom- 

 panied by M. Bonpland, after a favourable passage of 

 twenty-nine days from Philadelphia. Besides the geologi- 

 cal collections transmitted to Europe, they brought with 

 them nearly thirty boxes of different articles, which are the 

 more valuable as the countries traversed by these travellers 

 have been little visited.

St. Petersburgh, 24th July. 

 Cf The celebrated professor Pallas, whose death has been 

 announced in the public journals, is now residing in good

 pol, the capital of the Crimea, called at present the pro- 

 vince of Taurida, on an estate given to him by the late 

 empress Catherine II., and on which he has lived for several 

 years."
