situated more in reach of the North Sea, directed themselves towards the coasts of England and of France. If the enumeration cited by Depping is exact, it is certain at least that the better part of those ships were but fishermens' barks carrying a score of men. There were also snekars with twenty benches of rowers, which would make forty oars for the two sides. The chiefs moved in dragons with thirty-four benches of rowers. The incursions of the Danes, who ascended far up the Seine and Loire, incline us to believe that the major part of those vessels were very small. However, Hengist, invited in 449, by the Breton Wortiger, conducted five thousand Saxons into England, with eighteen vessels only, which would prove that there were also large ones, or that the marine of the borders of the Elbe was superior to that of the Scandinavians. From 527 to 584, three new expeditions, under Ida and Cridda, placed England in the power of the Saxons, who formed of it seven kingdoms. It is

Neuville, Jean Guillaume, Baron Hyde de -1847 Statesman; born near Charitesur-Loire, France, Jan. 24, 1776; was an agent of the exiled Bourbon princes.

In 1816-22 he was French minister and consul-general to the United States. Before his return to France he succeeded in negotiating a treaty of commerce and navigation between the United States and France. He was made a baron by Louis XVIII.

adily into the water, when it was towed into position, and the masonry laid until it sunk squarely on the heads of the piles previously driven for its reception. Caissan. The modern or pneumatic caisson, which is sunk through quicksands or submerged earth or rock, is the invention of M. Triger, who contrived by the aid of air-pumps to keep the water expelled from the sheet-iron cylinders, which he sunk through quick sands in reaching the coal-measures in the vicinity of the river Loire, in France. The seams of coal in this district of France lie under a stratum of quicksand from 58 to 66 feet thick, and they had been found to be inaccessible by all the ordinary modes of mining previously practiced. Fig. 1021 illustrates the caisson of M. Triger, and shows the comparatively simple form which the apparatus assumed when used for sinking a simple shaft through a water-bearing stratum above the coal. Air is forced in through the pipe A to the working-chamber B, which has a man

t. Augustine; the fine river which we call the St. Johns, Compare the criticism of Holmes's Annals, i. 567. was discovered, and named the River of May. It is the St. May Matheo Ensayo Cronologico, p. 43. of the Spaniards. The forests of mulberries were admired, and caterpillars readily mistaken for silkworms. The cape received a French name; as the ships sailed along the coast, the numerous streams were called after the rivers of France; and America, for a while, had its Seine, its Loire, and its Garonne. In searching for the Jordan or Combahee, they came upon Port Royal entrance, Laudonniere, in Hakluyt, III. 373. The description is sufficiently minute and accurate; removing all doubt Before the geography of the country was well known, there was room for the error of Charlevoix, Nouv. Fr. i. 25, who places the settlement at the mouth of the Edisto, an error which is followed by Chalmers, 513. It is no reproach to Charlevoix, that his geography of the coast of Florida

at defiance — all the blood that was shed and all the wickedness that was perpetrated was done — in the name of the people. Marat invoked the people, when he demanded the heads of ten thousand aristocrats. The cold, malignant Robespierre can ted of "Liberty, Equality, and Fraternity." The sanguinary Fauquier Tinville doomed his innumerable victims to the guillotine, that the land might be purged of traitors to the Republic, "one and indivisible." The ferocious Carrier choked the waters of Loire with corpses on the plea that it was necessary to "sustain the Government." The Anglo Saxon writ of habeas corpus was unknown to France, or it would have been laughed to scorn, as it is, in these days with us "The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers and effects" was as systematically violated then as now. The gendarmerie of Paris no more permitted the circulation of petitions to Government for a redress of grievances, than do the police authorities of New York;
