pire, particularly the weftern provinces of Dalla atrd Baf- 
lien, feveral focieties of whom alfo dwell in the diltrifts 
adjacent to Rangoon. None of them are to be found 
higher up than the city of Prome. They are a iimple in¬ 
nocent race, fpeaking a language diftinft from that of the 
Birmans, and entertaining rude notions of religion. They 
lead altogether a paftoral life, and are the molt induftrious 
f lbjetts of the Hate ; their villages form a feleft commu¬ 
nity, from which they exclude all other feils, and never 
reiide in a city, nor intermingle nor marry with ftrangers. 
They profefs, and ftrictly obferve, univerlal peace, not 
engaging in war, nor taking part in contefts for domi¬ 
nion; and thus they are placed in a lfate of fubjeftion to 
the ruling powers. Agriculture, the care of cattle, and 
the rearing of poultry, are almoft their only occupations. 
A great part of the provifions confumed in the country 
is raifed by the Karianers, who particularly excel in gar¬ 
dening. The oppreflion which they have lately fuftered 
has induced numbers of them to withdraw into the moun¬ 
tains of Aracan. They have traditional maxims of jurif- 
prudence for their internal government, but they are 
without any written laws; cuftom, -with them, conffitutes 
the law. Some of them learn to fpeak the Birman tongue, 
and a few can read and write it imperfectly. They are 
timorous, honeit, mild in their manners, and very hofpi- 
table to ftrangers. Symes's Embajfy to Ava.

KAR'LY, a village fituated on the road between Bom¬ 
bay and Poona, having in its vicinity a lofty hill, in which 
are fome excavations that have not, until within thefe few 
years, come under the notice of Europeans. The hill is 
named Ekvera, and is two or three miles to the north- 
eaft of Karly, but the excavations are generally called by 
the name of the village. The late Mr. Wales, a very re- 
fpeftable artift, was the firlt European who explored this 
magnificent cavern-temple, of which he made feveral accu¬ 
rate (ketches, and copied feveral infcriptions. The iketches 
have not been publiftied, nor have the infcriptions been 
hitherto explained. Lord Valentia has more recently vi- 
fited Karly, and in his Travels defcribes the cave, of which 
a beautiful view and a ground-plan are given ; and Mr. 
Salt, who accompanied his lordfhip, has, in his elegant fe- 
ries of oriental views, given two of this beautiful temple. 
Major Moor, who has alfo frequently vifited it, has given 
a plate of fome of its fculptures in his Hindoo Pantheon. 
There are many apartments fcooped out of the rock in an 
elevated fituation, having flat tops, as ufual in moll of the 
Indian excavations; but the grand apartment of Ekvera 
is arched, and of a molt ftriking and magnificent defcrip- 
tion. “ Its fize, and the peculiarity of its form,” fays lord 
Valentia, “ (truck me with the greateft altonilhment. It 
confifts of a veftibule of an oblong fquare fliape, divided 
from the temple itfelf, which is arched and fupported by 
pillars. The length of the whole is a hundred and twen¬ 
ty-fix feet, the breadth forty-fix feet. No figures of any 
deities are to be found within the pagoda; but the walls of 
the veftibule are covered with carvings, in alto-relievo, olf-
