ITIZEN DUPUIS, in purfuance of 
/ his plan of exhibiting the influence of 
the Eaftern and Southern nations over thofe 
of the Welt, has traced the origin of that 
numerous people fo celebrated in Greek 
hiftory under the name of Carians, Leleges, 
and Cretans. Thefe, emigrating from 
the country bordering on the Euphrates, 
the Perfian Gulph, Babylonia, and Affy- 
ria, advanced to Phcenicia, where, by the 
affiftance of navigation, they tranfported 
to the diftant countries of Europe the re- 
igion, manners, and cuftoms, of their na- 
tive country. By amultitude of faés ac- 
curately arranged, Citizen Dupuis has 
difculpated from the charge of falfehood 
feveral ancient authors, efpecially thofe 
fathers of hiftory and geography, Hero- 
dotus and Strabo. 
Cit. MONGEZ, carrying his inquiries 
into hittory of fomewhat later date, has 
fhewn, in a fecond and concluding me- 
moir on the cuftoms of Perfia, all the 
changes which thefe underwent during the 
reign of the Arlacides and Saffanides. 
Ardichir was the chief of this laft dy- 
natty. The firiking ruins of Nafchi, 
Routtam, and Tchehelminar, remain as 
monuments of his victory. By a regular 
comparifon of the manners and cuftoms of 
the Perfians at different periods, Citizen 
Mongez has eftablifhed this interetting 
faét, and has been able to explain (what 
hitherto no antiquary has been able to do) 
the defign of a fine gem, formerly one of 
the trea(ures of St. Denis, and now in the 
cabinet of the National Library, which he 
has proved to be a reprefentation of a 
prince of the race of the Saflanides. 
Cit. LancLes has been employed in 
examining the various Nilometers, Having 
carefully collected all that the ancient Ara- 
bian authors have written on the form and 
place of the firft Nilometers in Egypt, he 
has followed them, ftep by ftep, from the 
country of Alouyah, which is above the 
cataracts, and on the frontier of Nubia, 
where the higheft Nilometers are placed, 
as far down as Lower Egypt. From the 
Ifle of Elephantina to the mouth of the 
river he finds fifteen different Nilometers, 
all of which he defcribes more or lefs at 
large. 
Cit. CarLHava has almoft concluded 
his new commentary upon the writings of 
Moliere, a work which promifes to afford 
much wfeful and entertaining reading. 
A remarkable farcophagus has been 
found at Montpellier. From an accurate 
defcription and defign which has been 
fent to the Inftitute, Citizen Mongez con- 
cludes, that it muft belong to fome confi- 
derable perfonage among the Romans, 
fettled in Gaul fince the reign of Domitian.
