the Popes, upon their exaltation to St. Peter's chair, have frequently celebrated a jubilee upon other extraordinary occafions.

The ceremony obferved at Rome for the jubilee, at every 25 years end, which they call the holy year, is this: the Pope goes to St. Peter's church to open the holy gate, which is walled up, and only opened upon this occafion, and, knocking three times at the faid gate with the golden hammer he has in his

When the holy year is expired, they fhut the holy gates again on Christmas eve in this manner: the Pope, after he has bleffed the ftones and mortar, lays the first stone, and leaves there twelve boxes full of gold and filver medals.

I days of old, a prodigious number of all forts of people came to Rome from all parts of Europe in the holy year; but few repair thither now except thole who refide in Italy, becaufe the Popes afford this privilege to other countries, who have the liberty of ftaying at home and receiving the fame favours from his Holinefs.

By the difcoveries of Captain they fhewed Mr. Binon a MS book, Meares, it appears that those two Inwhich they carefully kept, believing dian nations have an easy communicathat it contained the myfteries of Reli- tion with each other by the traits of gion; and faid, that it was not very Juan de Fuca and the river Oregan, long fince a man had been amongst them which appears to have been difcovered who underfood it. This man (whom as far as ten degrees at least to the Eaft they eftcemed a prophet) told them, of Nootka. they faid, that a people would fome time vifit them, and explain to them the myfteries contained in their book, which would make them completely happy. They very anxiously afked Mr. Binon if he understood it; and, on being anfwered in the negative, appeared very fad, and earnestly defired him to fend one to them who could explain it. After he and his English fellow-travellers had been for fome time amongst them, they departed, and were conducted by thofe friendly Indians for many days through vaft delarts, and were plentifully fupplied by them with a profufion of provilions which the woods afforded; and, after they had been brought to a place they well knew, they parted with their numerous Indian guides, who wept bitterly on their taking leave of them, and very urgently intreated Mr. Binon to fend a perfon to them who could interpret their book. On his arrival in Philadelphia, and relating the story, he found that the inhabitants of the Welsh tract had fome knowledge of thofe Indians, and that fome Weithmen had before been amongst them.

Remarks on the foregoing. Mr. Binon fays, that thofe Indians had MS books, iron, and Alone buildings, a nongft them. It appears, by the accounts that Dr. Williams has collected in his pamphlet lately publifhed (fee PP. 42, 43, & 48), and the information

of Mr. Bowles, communicated by Mr.

It appears from what fome French and other foreign writers have related, that there exifts, in that part of the Continent where we place the Padoucas, a nation of Indians more civilized than any other on the Continent.

In Coxe's Defcription of Louifiana, &c. 1722, it is faid, p. 63 (fce alfo p. 16), that the Baron La Hontan having traced the Milfourie for 800 miles due Welt, found a vast lake, on which inhabited two or three great nations much more civilized than other Indians; and fays, that out of this lake a great river difembogues itself into the South-fea. Qu. Does not this river feem to be the Oregan of Capt. Meares ?

Charlevoix, vol. II. p. 225 of the English tranflation, mentions a great lake very far to the Weft of the Millifippi, on the banks of which are a people refembling the French, with buttons on their cloaths, living in cities, and using horfes in hunting the buffalo; that they are cloathed with the skins of that animal; but without any arins but the bow and arrow.

Bou, in his Account of Louihana, vol. 1. p. 182, fays, that he had been informed, by the Indians, of a nation of cloathed people far to the Westward of the Miflisippi, who inhabited great villages built with white ftones, navigated in great Piragnas on the great falt-water lakes, and were governed by one grand defpotic chief, who lent great armies into the field.
