Mr. von Heuglin proposed to leave Europe last autumn, and 
since in Cairo and Chartum he is acquainted with trustwor hy

the Nile lands the basis of his enterprise, eucesers at the 
same time, to have reserved supplies at Bengasi, a town on the 
North African coast which has direct commercial relations with _ 
Wadai. He proposes, if pecuniary resources allow, to secure — 
will fall between twelve and twenty thousand thalers. At the 
date of our last advices about one third of the necessary amount 
had already been secured, wholly from the German compatriots 
of Heuglin and Vogel. As the enterprise is regarded in “ the 
fatherland” as an expression of national union in the advance-

citizens of this country from Germany, any o he have 
acquired ample a there will se ‘tan of Mt berality be 
found ready and eager to aid in carrying forward a project which 
is full of promise.
