DEATHBED OF AN AMBASSADOR.—A foreign ambassador, Count Adhemer, had a stroke of apoplexy, and he was to have had a great assembly on the night of the day on which it happened : it is shocking to relate the sequel. The company went —some hundreds. The man lay deprived of sense and motion ; his bed-chamber joined the great drawing room, where was a faro-bank held close to his bed's-head. Somebody said they thought they made too much noise. " Oh, no !" another answered, " it will do him good ; the worst thing he can do is to sleep." A third said, " I did not think Adhemer had been a fellow of such rare spirit : palsy and faro together is spirited indeed ; this is keeping it up I" I was tell to Mr. Walpole the other day, and lamenting it as a s tigma, one of the worst signs of the times I had met with. In retu rn, he told me of a French g entleman at Paris, who being in t he article of death, had j ust si g ned his will, when the lawy er who drew it u p was invited b y the wife to sta y tell ing national t his supper. The table was laid in the dying man's apartment, the glass of wine, and lawyer took a addressing himself to the lady, drank a la sante de notre aimable agonisant !—Hannah Moore's Life. An old lady, named Melnotte, 70 years of age, was in the habit of receiving the visits of a certain M. Dufour, who, during the prevalence of the cholera, passed himself off for a medical man, and gave advice in that quality. He easily succeeded in gaining her confidence, and was in trusted with a secret of some importance. Mademoiselle Melmotte acknowledged to him that the greatest pain she experienced arose from the remorse which she felt at having abandoned a son in the year 1798, whom she had deposited at the Enfans Trouves. Dufour offered to make inquiries at the hospital, and promised to bring her some intelligence of the child. Some time passed ; every day there was a new demand for money, and a fresh promise. One fine day Dufour arrived quite radiant with good news :—" Be happy," said he, " my dear friend (embracing her), your son is found ; he is living ; and what is more, is at this moment a sergeant in a regiment of the line in garrison at Besancon." The poor old lady wept with:joy, and offered prayers to Heaven for the recovery of her son. She was anxious to set out immediately for Besancon, but she was too old, and the distance was too great. After a few days two letters arrived. They were signed " Melmotte, fils," and were filled with expressions of the most sincere affection. Dufour, who was the bearer of these letters, observed, " This poor fellow, he would be here immediately if he could ma nage it ; but he is just recovered from a severe illness, and he requires 100 crowns to pay a few debts, and the price of his leave of absence." Mademoiselle Melnotte gives the 100 crowns. A few days afterwards Dufour arrives. " Your son," said he, "is at the foot of the staircase. I come to prepare you for the recognition. Endeavour to restrain yourself ; be mistress of your feelings ; too much emotion might be fatal to you." The poor old lady took courage ; a stranger appeared ; she opened her arms, and the scene of recognition took place. It was not long after before Mademoiselle Melnotte had made some very costly gifts to her son, and to Dufour ; but they were not enough. It was necessary to make some testamentary arrangements , made in favour of certain individuals. Dufour and the son accompanied Mademoiselle Melnotte to the house of a no tary named Chapelier ; but the latter sent away the partie s without h av i ng conc uded the business for which they sought. Mademoiselle Melnotte, in consequence, began to entertain some suspicion. Every day Dufour made some fresh demand. The jewels of the old lady found their way, one after the other, into his hands, and from thence to the Monte de Piete. She resolved to make some inquiries, and in a short time she learned that her pre tended son Melnotte was no other than a brother-in law of Dufour. They have been committed for trial.—French Paper. iF SUGAR.

Od. 30/ . :t 3, The library of the Escurial is divided into three parts ; the lower library, the upper library, and the manuscript library. The principal one, which is the lower, consists of three rooms, one of which is 197 feet long and 32 wide. The bookcases are magnificnt, and composed of the choicest woods. The number of volumes which they contain are 18,000, among which there are about 700 Spanish, Latin, and Greek manu scripts. Amongst this number are to be seen several books written in the seventh and eighth centuries ; there is also a copy made at the beginning of the four teenth century, of the famous book called " La His toria del Conde Ferran Gonzalez," one of the oldest monuments of Spanish literature, which is a history of Spain from the invasion of the Goths to the year 967. Another book of the poems of a Rabbi, called Don Santos Carrion, and a great number of old chronicles ; but as there is not a printed catalogue of the books, it is difficult to estimate the value of the whole. The upper library occupies the same number of rooms as the lower one, and was built several years after the principal one, when it was perceived that it would not hold all the books. The number and general descrip tion of its contents are nearly the same as those of the other. The books which are generally shown to stran gers who visit these two libraries are some old MS. Bibles, richly painted and illuminated. ,When the visitors are known to be Spanish, and are supposed to have no concealed heresy in their bosom, as happened (says the writer of the article) with myself, who am a Catolico Apostolico Romano, they venture to show what they think is worth more than all the books of the world together. I was, therefore, no little sur prised to see one of the fathers, who, giving me an expressive look, made me a sign to follow him, and having conducted me to a kind of chapel, in the same library, where, covered with a curtain and glass, is a book written, as they say, by the hand of Saint Augus tine ; he took it out, kissed it, passed it to me, in order that I should do the same, and proceeded to call my attention to the circumstances of the book. Its title is " De Baptismo Parvulorum ;" and all that I can say is, that if it really is his own hand-writing, the saint must have been a very clever penman. He then shewed me eight more books attributed to saints. There is one written in Greek by St. Chrysostom, and several others by Santa Ferera de Semo, besides an other book called " El Codice Aureo," the Golden Book, which contains the four gospels, written by the Emperor Conrad, of Germany, and his son Henry 11., with gold letters, of an admirable beauty and clearness. It is said that Queen Mary, the sister of Charles V., and aunt of Philip 11., made a present of it to her nephew, when she heard of his collecting books for the library of the Escurial. But as I did not come to the Escurial to see books of saints (not that I do by any means deny their merit), I begged the father to take me to the MSS. library. The room in which they are kept is very spacious, and the book-cases are also of great beauty. But I do not think that they are all filled with Arabic MSS., as these are in small number in proportion to the size of the room, which might hold many thousands of volumes. They told me that among them were some Greek and Spanish MSS. What they generally show in this room is a Koran, written in the middle of the ninth century, for the use of one of the first kings -of Cordova, upon papyrus, with coloured letters. The father who had the care of this department, seeing that I made him a great many more questions than he could well answer, told me to take the keys and open the bookcases, to search at hazard for what pleased me best. So I proceeded, after such a kind invitation, to examine the Arabic MSS. The first book upon which my eyes fell was a magnificent copy of the seven " Moallakats," with a commentary by Abon Abu-Allah Mohammed al-Ansari of Cordova. It is a volume in folio of 200 pages, written in a very small hand, and which is not known in Europe. Ibu al- Khatib, and Al-Kodiii, Spanish biographers, both praise this work, and say that the commentaries are much superior to those written in the East. I saw too a commentary on the poem of Shanfar,' by Abou'l- Kasim Mohammed ben Omar az-Zamaskhari, which does not exist in any of the public libraries in Europe. If the learned French orientalist the Baron Sylvestre de Sacy, could have consulted it for his translation of that poem, published in the second volume of his " Chrestomathie Arabe," there is no doubt that with its assistance many obscure passages might have been satisfactorily explained. There is also another work, called " Delight of Conversation, and Companionship of BrOthers,' by Omar ben Abu-Allah Razi, a Per sian, which contains a hundred narrations, and pictures of the manners and customs of the East, besides a great number of fables, songs, wise sentences and pro verbs, which appear to be worthy of the greatest at tention : as also another, with the title of " Fruit of Princes, : and Delight of Elegant Men," by the Hane phite doctor. Ahmed ben Mohammed ben Arbasha of Damascus, which contains fabulous narratives, written with the greatest elegance, in prose and verse, in which are introduced some ingenious allegories, such as relation of " The Battle between Abou'l-Abtal and the King of the Elephants," " Thoughts of a Soli tary Lion, and Sayings of a Wandering Camel." These two works, with others of this library, bear the marks of having belonged to one of the kings of Grenada. I discovered there, also, a very rare and extra ordinary book, which I think has not its equal in Arabic literature ; or at all events, compositions of this kind are sorare, that itmay pass for unique. It is called " Wit and Novelty, in Dialogues between the Professors of dif ferent Arts of Life," and written by Mohammed ben Mohammed ben Ali al Balasi (or born in the town of Velez) in the year of the Hegira 746, A. D. 1345). Casiri, in his Biblioteca Esculiarense,' vol. ii. sec. 144, calls this work a comedy. I should not venture to say as much ; but I must own that the little I have perused of it extremely excited my attention. Fifty interlocutors of the different professions of life, such as a teacher of grammar, a cadhi, a cook, a lawyer, a singer, a musician, a butcher, a confectioner, a pastry cook, a baker, a money-changer, a collector of taxes, a perfumer, a poulterer, a clothesman, a blind man, a copyist, a shepherd, a huntsman, a seaman, a gold smith, a builder, an engineer, a scribe, an innkeeper, a tailor, an incense seller, a carpenter, &c., criticise and joke with each other upon their different professions, making the wit of converation sparkle at every moment. The translation of a work of this kind, although ex tremely difficult, both by its nature, and from its con taining a great number of terms relating to the arts and professions of life which are not to be found in dictionaries, would amply compensate for the trouble, by the light it would throw upon the manners and cus toms of the Arabs when they were in this country ; a point which is very difficult to be ascertained. For among so many thousands of volumes consecrated to history, to grammar, to mathematics, or medicine, it may be said there is scarcely one which contains a sketch, however imperfect it may be, of their manners and domestic life. To this is owing the complete ig norance in which we are of their ways and customs ; and Florian and other writers, who have attempted to give an idea of the court of Grenada, have only pic tured the hacknied scenes of the East. But this is an error ; there was a great difference in those times between the Moorish inhabitant of Cordova and Grenada, and the Arab of Damascus or Bag dad. The Arabic population of Spain was composed of different families or tribes ; it was Asia and Africa mixed together ; the ardour and simplicity of the proud inhabitant of the desert, united to the indolence and sagacity of the possessor of the fertile and smiling valleys of Macedonia. Such a mixture must have necessarily created new customs, different manners, and even, it may be said, opposite impressions. The dif ference of climate, the continual communication with the Spaniards, from whom they borrowed the ideas of chivalry which distinguished them in the latter period of their domination, must have augmented in their cha- _dose religious precepts, which, as they form the coundation of Islamism, are never trifled with by any true Moslem ; such as the prohibition of wine and images. As to the first, various kinds of fermented liquors were drunk in Spain ; and I have in my col lection an old Arabic manuscript in the Cufic charac ter, which treats of the different of kinds of wines, and liquors of other kinds from dates, sugar-cane, the palm-tree, wheat and barley, &c., praising their good qualities, without mentioning a single word about the prohibition. The lions of the Al-Hamra, the por traits of the Generalife, and the beautiful statues and bas-reliefs which adorned the delightful gardens of Me dina Zahara, the gold, silver, and copper coins with the busts of the kings, and many books in which may be discovered the portraits of the heroes or of the author, will prove sufficiently that the 'Arabs of Spain were not so strict and rigid as they have been generally thought in Europe. There are also two MSS. by no means undeserving of notice, one of them with the title of " Notices, by a Noble Author," written by Shahab-ad-Din Abou'l-Abis Ahmed ben Fadh-Allah al-Omari, and the other called " Treatise on the Per sons and acquirements of the Inhabitants of Spain,"' by Ali be Abu-ar-Rahman ben Hazil, of Grenade, Both speak of gunpowder, of the time of its discovery, and of the nations which first employed it against their enemies. They represent it as not of European in vention. Brought from China by the Persians, they say it was adopted by the Arabs, who used it in the year '7l of the Hegyra (A. D. 69), at the siege of Mecca, by Hajaz. " I should never finish, if I were to mention one by one all the precious works, which at every moment called my attention. Besides the poets famous in Europe, such as Al-Montenabbi, Albousiri, Abou'l At-Togrili, Amrom'l-Kais, Cab ben Zoheir, Abou Nawas, Ibu Malik, there a great number of natives of Spain not inferior to them, and whose poems may be placed without fear by the side of the best ditch/a, such as Abou Zeid Abdar-Rahmaan al- Jayfideni of Cordova, who wrote a poem with the title of Spectator of the Times ;' Schems-ad-Din Abou Abu-Allah Mohammed ben Jiibir, author of a poem called' Rarities for the Blind, and for him that can see ;' Dhia-ad-Din Abou Mohammed Abu-Allah al= Khazaraji, Ismail ben Mohammed ben °matt al-Cor dobi, and Abou Mohammed Abu-al-Majid ben Ab"- doum, a celebrated poet, who, under the title of Pole star of the Times,' wrote a poem, in which he describes the adventures, wars, and private life of the Prince o f a dynasty called Beni l'Attas, who reigned for several years in the town of Badajoz. Models might be pointed Out in every science, for there is scarcely a branch of human learning which the Arabs have not cultivated with the greatest success—rhetoric, mathematics, astronomy, medicine, botany, music, history, geo graphy—each in their turn having been explored and adorned by their labours. --Westminster Review. A REMARKABLE TRAVELLER. ORENBURG, AUG. 15.—A gentleman has just arrived here, named Honinberger, a native of Cron stadt, who has made one of the most remarkable jour neys ever heard of. He is forty years of age, and he ha's passed one-half of his life in Asia. When he left his native country, he proceeded to Constantinople, from thence he went to Lebanon, and found his way to Cairo. He lived a year there, as the medical attendant of Ali Pacha. He left for Anatolia, where he discovered many remarkable antiquities. For seven years he acted as physician to several petty princes of Syria. He visited Bagdad, Shiraz, and Ispahan. From this city he thought of going to India, but the war which then raged between Russia and Persia made him change his plan, and he returned to Bagdad. After remaining some time at Bagdad, he left for Lahore ; the Prince of that country engaged him as his first physician, which high situation he filled for five years. He was obliged to quit Lahore iather abruptly, on account of not being able to per form some cure which the Prince required •of him. He attempted to descend the Indus, but was obliged to retrace his steps, from the troubled state of the countries on its banks. He arrived at Kabul, where he was received in the most friendly manner by the King's brother; he remained six months with him. He came to Orenburg with the caravan. His present intention is to proceed to St. Petersburgh by Cassan and Novogorod, and visit his native town Cronstadt. He gives some very curious details respecting the Go vernment of Lahore. The Prince of that country ha a high opinion of Europeans ; his army is commanded by two Frenchmen, named Allard and Court, and two Italians, Ventura and Aritabili. Allard and Ventura arrived when the Prince was in a most critical posi tion. His army had been completely defeated and dispersed. These two Europeans collected as many men as they could, gave battle to the enemy, and suc ceeded in gaining a signal victory. This saved La hore, and secured them the friendship of the Prince. Since the army has been under the command of these , Europeans, the dominions of Lahore have been greatly extended by conquests. It is probable that after the death of the reigning Prince his possessions will fall into the hands of the English. He foresees it, and is much ' annoyed by it. Dr. Honinberger has brought a great many curiosities over with him.—Hamburg Paper. a ANOTHER RUGANTINO. A daring robbery was recently committed by night at the manor of Charmes, near Laon, in France, be longing to the Baron de Marguerit. Suspicion fell upon a man named Picard, a native of the place, at that time serving as trumpeter in the Bth regiment of artillery, in the garrison at La Fere. When brought to trial on the 29th of last August, he was condemned to hard labour for five years. Picard, who is very young, had already been sentenced to imprisonment for theft by the Tribunal of Correctional Police. One of his uncles died in the gallies, another is at this moment m the bagnio of Toulon, and the father of the young man was executed on the scaffold for murder. To this genealogy may be added, on the authority of M. Marauerit, that Picard's grandfather died in the bagnio, where he was confined for robbery. It seems that young Picard treads worthily in the footsteps of his ancestors, and promises to occupy a prominent po sition among criminals of the first class. When con demned by the Council of War to hard labour, Picard took advantage of the delay previous to the execution of the sentence, to interest the director of the military prison of the Abbaye in his favour. He took advan tage of this circumstance, and on the 25th of Sep tember contrived to make his escape. But he was not long before he re-appeared in his own country,_ to renew his former outrages. On the night of the 30th of September a robbery, under very peculiar circum stances, was committed at Charmes, on the person of M. Gomard, assistant to the Mayor of St. Gobain. An attempt at assassination was also made by an unknown person on the same spot. Both these acts were attributed to Picard, who had become the terror of the country. At,length he was discovered near a wood in the neighb9urhood of Charmes by a Garde Champetie, who vainly endeavoured to take him pri soner, and whO even' succeeded in wounded him with a musket-ball. He however, escaped into the forest. On a subsequent ocZasion he was seen and pursued . by 15 of the soldiers orhis regiment, but without success. The country has latterly been entirely raised against him. The King's Advocate exerted himself to pro cure his capture ; the Mayor of Charmes and a de tachment of artillerymen hunted the forest St. Gobain for him in vain ; the only traces of him which they found were several articles of little value, which Picard had stolen from the house of M. Gomard. It is generally thought that he is favoured in his conceal.. ment by some of his relations, who are numerous ; but though several domiciliary visits have been paid to their dwellings, they have been without result. The pursuit is still being actively continued, b u t i t i s thoUght that it will not be without extreme difficulty that they will succeed in getting hold of . this second Rugantino, whose youth, strength, and boldness, coupled with a perfect knowledge of the country where be conceals himself, render him almost sieure.
