"In this portiot* of this showy procession,
marched the l>ody guard of
the Sultan, forming a hollow square.
The breasts of their long scarlet frock
coats were a blaze of gold lace, and
their high square cape of the Mime
coior Were surmounted by lofty
plumes 'Of bird-of-paradise leathers,
some three or four 'feet Wh, and
shaped like the upper portion of a
helmet. Each man was armed with
a large double*bladed axe ?of silver,

was a iook oi deep sadness and satiety
about the man, which was surprising
in one so young, who was
surrounded by so mnny sources of
sensual enjoyment. His short beard
and moustache are of the richest
auburn, almost black ; his nose is
straight and well shaped* but his
handsomely formed oval face is slight*
ly pock-marked* His person is slnrht
and elegant, and lie sat his horse with
infinite grace; but there was something
half scornful in 'his bearing,
that seemed to say he despised all
this glittering parade. The noble

with almost hitman ?

His Bwcllinjr veins, his silken qoat,
