SAVE, a large river of the Austrian empire, which rises in 
Illyria, about six miles to the south of Villach, flows, through 
a part of Styria and Croatia, and after leaving the latter, 
separates Sclavonia from Turkey, till it joins the Danube, 
between Semlin and Belgrade. Its course is at first extremely 
winding ; and it frequently overflows its banks, producing 
great devastations. It is, however, of great importance for 
the trade of all the countries through which it passes, and is 
the common medium by which the corn and tobacco of the 
Bannat and the neighbouring provinces are transported.

SAUEL, in Ichthyology, a name given by the Portuguese 
to a kind of fish, very frequent on the coast of China, which 
by the natives is called xiyu. In the months of April and 
May vast numbers of them are taken in the river Kiang, near 
Nanking; during which time one of the most honourable 
of the emperor’s eunuchs takes care to have several ships 
filled with these fish ; which are buried in ice, and in this 
manner preserved for the summer's provision of the emperor. 
The ships made use of to carry these fish to the emperor’s 
court at Pekin, are of the neatest kind, and richly ardorned ; 
and all other vessels are obliged to make way for them.

impregnable; but was taken by storm without the loss of a 
man, by the British, in 1791. It was used by Hyder Aly 
and Tippoo Sultan as a state prison, and generally terminated 
the existence of the captives. It now belongs to the rajah.

SAVERY (Roland), born at Courtray, about the year 
1576. His father first instructed him in the art of painting, 
in which, in the end, he acquired much more celebrity than 
his instructor. His style of execution is neat, even to minute¬ 
ness, like that of Paul Brill and of Breughel. He went into 
France in the reign of Henry IV., for whose royal apartments 
he painted many pictures. The fame he acquired caused 
him to be invited to the court of the emperor Rodolphus II., 
and there he passed a considerable part of his life, travelling 
occasionally, under that monarch's protection, through the 
grand and mountainous district of the Tyrolese. There he 
made a great number of drawings, from which he enriched 
his future compositions with romantic scenery and figures. 
He continued to reside at Prague till the death of the em¬ 
peror, when he settled at Utrecht, and died there in 1639, in 
the 63d year of his age.
