the kindness and care with which the la.
dies had been treated; and the ransom
money was told into buckets of water to
prevent coatagion. The beautiful Fatima,
at parting, left two handsome shawls as a
remumbrance, uue for Captain Anderson,
and the other for Capt. Gilbert. They
were conveyed front the brig so closely en
veloped, that not even a tigure was dis
cerunole; and on their landing were sur
rounded by a troop of blacks, or guards a1
the harem, and conveyed in closed fit
ters to the town.
The Kedpole then sailed from Zante,
whituer Sir Frederick and Lady Adam
ha-d gone, to whom the Captain gave au
account of his mission, and trul delighted
were they to hear that their fair protegees
had been so Mtudly received. On our re
turn to Corfu, the fullowng distressing in
telligeuce awaited us. The two vessels
had scarcely sailed iron ime Gulf of Le
paato, before the ruthless imonster ol a Pa
sha, p.aciug no fiatn in the honor of' the
British otLicers, and deaf to all remonstra
strance, caused the whole of these unortu
nate creatu'res, the beautiful and interest
ing Fatima among the rest, to be tied in
sacks and drowned in the waters of the
Guit. The horror and indignation with
which this intellige'uce was received at
Corfu, can hardly be described. Not a
man but who would have gladly volun
teered to have burnt Lepanto to the ground
and have hung the dog of a Pasha by his
own beard. But we were powerless: we
had no right to interfere, and were to
smother our indignation as we best could.
Therawas many a wet eye in Cotfu fo
the fate of poor Fatima and her luckless
companious. But judgment speedily o
vertook the perpetrator of this moss wan
ton deed o1 butchery, though it is strange
how noble were the last moments of this
man of blood,
By some means Cherebid Pasha had
incurred the suspicion of the Porte. There
is but one way amongst the Turks of ex
plaining these matters. A Tartar shortly
arrived at the head quarters of the pasha,
bearing the imperial tirman and the fatal
bowstring. The Pasha no sooner read
the fatalscroll than lie kissed it, and bow
ed his lorenead to the earth in token o
reverence and submission.
"Do your instructions forbid me to use
poison instead of submitting to the how
stringl" Calmly asked the Pasha of the
Tartar.
"His highness may use his own pleas
ure," aiswered the Tartar. "1 have wiRi
me a pienht mixture, with his highness
permission I will prepare it."
The Pasha then called together all his
officers and his household. He was at
tired in his most splendid robes, and re
ceived them in state divan, as though it
the plenitude or his power, The fatal
messenger stood by his sicle. In one hand
he held the golden goblet all enriched
with precious stones, and in the other be
held the imperial Orrvan. "I have sent
for you all, to show you by my example,
that It is the duty of a Mussulman to die
at the command of his superior as well as
to live for his service and honor. The
sultan, our master, has no further occasiov
for his servant, and has sent him this fir
man. It remains only for me to obey. I
might it is true, resist, surrounded b3
guards and friends. But no: I respect the
will of God and our blessed prophet thro
the word of his successor. 1 value not
life in comparison with duty; and I pray
you all to profit by my example."-Withi
a firm and unflinching hand he carried the
poisoned goblet to his lips and drank it tc
the dregs, then shaking his head as one
who had a nauseous draft, he handed the
cup to the Tartar and said-Keep it
your potioni is bitter indeed; present myi
duty to your master, and say that his ser
vait died as he lived; faithful and true.
"Arid you," he added, turning to those whc
stood dismayed around him, "if ever it
should arrive that any of you should have
-to undergo-the same-trial," his voice
faltered, and his face became deadly pale:
"remember Cherchid Pasha! Alla!-Ac.
bar!-God's will he ---" hut before he
could finish the sentence, his head fell up.
on his breast and he fell back upon the
cushions ohf his divan and expired.
The Tartar took a bag fromi his girdle,
and withb a knife'separated the head from
the body; the blood staining the jewelled
velvets. The head he deposited earefully
in the bag, tied round his waist, and in a
few minutes was on his fleet steed on the
road to Constantinople.
We have this account fromn an eye
witness.

Ever since the creation,
By the best calculation,
The Florida war has been raging;
And 'tis our expectation
That the last conflagration,
Will find us the sane contest waging!
And yet 'tis not an endiess war,
As facts will plainly show,
Having been -ended' forty times
In twenty mouths or so.

Thou maK'st a world of bother,
Indeed, we quite suspect thon art
One Davy Jones's brother.
'The war is ended,' comes the news,
We've caught them in our gin;
The war is ended, past a doubt.
'Sam Jones has just come in!'
But hark-! next day the tune we change,
And sing a counter strain;
'The war's not ended,' for, behold,
Sam Jones is out again!
And ever and anon we hear,
Proclaimed in cheering tones,
Our General's had-a battle? no,
'A talk' with Samuel Jones!
For aught we see, while ocean rolls,
(As though these crafty Seminoles.
Were doubly nerved and snewed,)
Nor art, nor force can e'er avail,
But, like sone modern premium tale,
The war's 'to be continued.'
TO THE PRINTER.
Permit a giddy triflug girl,
For once to fill your joet's corner;
She cares not how the earitics snarl,
Or beaus and macaronies scorn her.
She longs in print her lines to see!
Oblige her, (sure you can't refuse it,)
And it you find her out; your fee,
Shall be-to kiss her-it you choose it.

CAPTUR- OF THE PASHA'S H IiREM.
In 1823 the Greeks, in one of their ma

te strictest privacy was observed with

land was allowed to see them except
ady Adam, and a very few of the ladies

Sir Frederick lost no time in communi

r all he bad done, and the scrupulous
are which he had observed towards the
ivacy of the ladies of his harem. The
asha returned the most profuse acknowl

sending them to Lepanto as speedily as

and to prepare him for a state, in which all these
exquisite associations may be indulged to their
fuhest extent, one day in every seven lias been
devoted. Let us iooK for a moment, at the im
portance of this benefit. W e will cite merely
one passion, and that is friendship, in proof
of this assertion. How heart consoling it is to
find one bosom, that can be made the repository
of all our joys and our sorrows our snies and
our tears? How is prosperity enhvt-I:ed, how
is adversity solaced by such communion; we
seem to live a double life, to have oiie breast
responding to all the sensations of'our own; if
the cares and the business of life divide us, it
seems to tear the heart-strings from the heart.
In absence how uneasy we are-we chide eve.

ship press with restless footsteps the grass green
turi, where the ashes are slumbering? Vith
what fervency does the heart dwell on his last
look of tenderness-how does it hoard up every
relick, consecrated by the touch of atiection,
witn what mourntful enthusiasm does it dwell
on every characteristic motion,. attitude and
iook, aiid manner. and gesiure. and counte
nance, and smile and frown of an objectsodear!
Oh, how poor, now sterile is biography, to por
iray the thonsand nameless pleasures of friend
ship, to enter into the sanctuary of the human
heart, and to sketch with her pencil, those un
defined and undefinable joys and sorrows, that
constitute enjoyment. What then shall we
think of the immortality of this passion. where
no tomb rears its grass green mound, to inter
rupt the tide of affections so dear; where no
false friendship can exist, where there is noih
ing but confidence and love ii their fullest per
fection. as boundl-ss in their extent as the attri
butes of God I Can the frenzied dreams of the
poet, in the delirium of his fancy conceive su
perior enjoyment!
And yet these are poetic visions-they may
be regarded as scriptural truths. Therefore
love to God is made the first, and love to our
neigljbor the second duty, aiid the sincerity of
the latter is made the standard, by which the
former is to be measur: d. The argument
seems to run thus, if a man loveth not his neigh

about your neighbors and friends from whom
you are perpetually receiving kindness and
benefits-if such endearing qualities presented
by one before your eyes, make no impression
of gratitude, confidence or aihetion; if you re
gard this individual still as a stranger, how can
you love a beneh'actur notwithstanding the
amount of his benefits, be they ever so reat,
whom you have never seen-the sight of te in
dividual inspires io gratitude: how much less
then is love or gratitude inspired vhen this Be
ing is invisible. Thus are the holiest affections
of the human heart. love to the Deity, made evi
dent to mankind, by our love to our friends and
neighbors. We make these general remaiks to
shew the inportance of the Sa:buh-the day
devoted to the indulgence of affections so-holy
-it may theref'ore be said that the notorious
violator of that day, does all ini his power to de
privy friendship of its endearmentn, benevo

ous affections, their hold upon the heart; be

breatii of sell'-interest; he is neither a friend to
his family or to himself.
Dats-Dreamis can be ..produced by
whispering in the ears when a person is asleep.
Onie of the most curious as well as authentic
examples of this kind lia been referrd to by
several writers. I find the particulars in a pa
per by Dr. Giegory, and they were related to
him by a gentlemant who witnessed them. The
subject oh it was an officer in the expedition to
Louisburg, 1758, who hadl this peculiarity in so
remarkable a degree, that his companions in the
transport were in the liabit of amusing them
selves at his expense. They could produce
any kind ofa dreain, by whispering into his ear,
espeially if this was done by a friend, with
w ose voice he was' familiar. At one time
they conducted him through the whole progress
of a quarrel, whieh eiided m a duel; andl when
the parties were supposed to be met, a pistol
was put intohis hand, which he fired and was
awakened by the report. On another occasion
they found bim asleep on thne top ofa locker or
bunker, in'the cabin, when they made him- be
Jieve helhad fallen overboad, and exhorted, him
'to savehidiself by swimming. They then told
him that a-shark wvas pursuing him, and entreg
ted-him tdvefor f' . He instantly dId so,
with such forceas to throw himsell'entirely front
the locker, upon the eabiin foor, by wehich .he
was mueh bruised, ad awakened of course.
After the landing of-the armny at Louisburg,
his friends found him asleep in hir tent, muc~h
annoyed by the cannonading. They then made
him believe that he was engaged. when he ex
pressed great fear, and showe an evident dis
position to run away. Against this theyremon
strated but at the same time increased his fears
by imitating the groans of the wounded and dy
ing; and when lie asked, as he often did, who
was down, they'named his par'icular friends.
At last they told him that thie man next himslf
in the line had fallen, when instantly he spun
from his bed, rushed out of his tent, and was
roused from hi. danger-and bia dreamn together.
by falling over the tent-ropes. A remarka
circumstance in this case was, that after .thes
his dreams, but only a confused feelinF of op.
pression or fatigue; and used to tell his friend
that lie was sure he was playing some trick upos.
him. A case entirely similar in its bearing is
related in Smellie's Natural History, the sub
