Doctor Nunez, who was a most popular and skilful man, was physician to the Grand Inquisitor, who was anxious to save him. He did all in his power to alleviate the sufferings of his family ; but one of them, Abby de Lyon, who died in Savannah, carried to her grave the marks of the ropes on her wrists when put to the question. They remained for some time in prison ; but as the me- dical services of Doctor Nunez were very much in demand in Lisbon, the eccle- siastical council, under the advice of the Grand Inquisitor, agreed to set him and family at liberty, on condition that two officials of the Inquisition should re- side constantly in the family, to guard against their relapsing again into Juda- ism. The doctor had a large and elegant mansion on the banks of the Tagus, and being a man of large fortune, he was in the habit of entertaining the prin- cipal families of Lisbon. On a pleasant summer day he invited a party to din- ner ; and among the guests was the Captain of an English brigantine, anchored at some distance in the river. While the company were amusing themselves

on the lawn, the captain invited the family and part of the company to accom- pany him on board the brigantine, and partake of a lunch prepared for the occa- sion. All the family, together with the spies of the Inquisition, and a'portion of the guests, repaired on board the vessel ; and while they were below in the cabin, enjoying the hospitality of the captain, the anchor was weighed, the sails unfurled, and the wind being fair, the brigantine shot out of the Tagus, was soon at sea, and carried the whole party to England. It had been pre- viously arranged between the doctor and the captain, who had agreed, for a thousand moidores in gold, to convey the family to England, and who were under the painful necessity of adopting this plan of escape to avoid detection. The ladies had secreted all their diamonds and jewels, which were quilted in their dresses, and the doctor having previously changed all his securities into gold, it was distributed among the gentlemen of the family, and carried around them in leathern belts. His house, plate, furniture, servants, equipage, and even the dinner cooked for the occasion, were all left, and were subsequently seized by the Inquisition and confiscated to the State.
On the arrival of Doctor Nunez and family in London, the settlement of Georgia, and the fine climate and soil of that country, were the subjects of much speculation. The celebrated John Wesley, and his brother Charles, had re- solved to embrace the occasion of visiting this El Dorado ; and when the ship which conveyed Governor Oglethorpe to that new settlement was about sail- ing, the doctor and his whole family embarked as passengers, not one of whom could speak the English language ; and from them the families have descended, already named in the body of this work. After a few years, a number sailed for New-York ; and Zipra Nunez married the Rev. David Machado, Minister of the Hebrew congregation of that city. Major Noah states that he remembers his great-grandmother, Zipra Nunez, as a very remarkable person- age. She died at nearly ninety years of age, and was celebrated for her beauty and accomplishments. She spoke several languages-preserved to the last a beautiful set of teeth, unimpaired, and was observed, whenever the clock struck, to repeat a silent prayer, which had some reference to her impri- sonment in the Inquisition. The whole family were rigid in their attachment to the doctrines of their faith. Two of her brothers, who arrived in the same vessel from London, lie buried in the Jewish cemetery in Chatham Square, New-York; and from them has sprung a long list of highly respectable descendants in Savannah, Charleston, Philadelphia, and New-York, all of them of the Hebrew persuasion at this day.

BIRDS.
In presenting the following Catalogue of Birds to the public, it is proper to remark, that many kinds are migratory, and consequently are found among us only at certain seasons of the year. The Catalogue is intended to include all the species of birds, which an industrious ornithologist might procure within the limits of our State.
J. J. Audubon has described 508 species of birds inhabiting the United States and their territories ; and it will be seen, by reference to our Catalogue, that 273 species are found in the State of Georgia. Indeed, our Fauna is peculiarly rich and interesting in this department, whether we regard the number of species, or the many kinds remarkable for beauty and splendour of plumage.
Every effort has been made to render the list as complete and as accurate as possible. Doubtless there are some species of birds inhabiting our State, which have escaped the vigilance of naturalists ; but they must be very limited in number.
My grateful acknowledgments are due to the Rev. John Bachman, D. D., of Charleston, S. C., the well-known Naturalist; and to my brother, Joseph Le Conte, M. D., of Macon, Georgia, for important assistance in enabling me to determine the habitat of several species concerning which there was con- siderable doubt. I am under peculiar obligations to the former gentleman for the valuable information he furnished, particularly in relation to the water- birds.
