" Charles Fox, however," said Mr. Burke afterwards, " can never internally like the French revolution. He is entangled; but, in himself, if he should find no other objection to it, h? , has at least too much taste for such a revolu tion. Mr. Eliot related that he had lately been in a company of some of the first and most distinguished men of the French nation, now fugitives here, and had asked them some questions about the new French ministry ; they had answered that they knew them not even by name till now ! " Think," cried he, " what a ministry that must be ! Suppose a new administration formed here of Englishmen ofwhom we had never before heard the names ! what statesmen they must be ! how prepared and fitted for government ! To begin by being at the helm."—Madame D' Arblay's Diary. THE JEWESSES OF TETITAN.-At last our leader made a halt at a little door in a long white wall, which formed one side of a particularly crooked lane ; and we descended from our horses on being informed that this was the entrance to the habitation of Solomon Nahon, the Jew, to whose house all European travel lers visiting Tetuan repair. The outward appearance boded nothing very favourable to the dweln ; but, the moment we passed through the narrow ur in hospitable-looking gate, allsurprise misgivings ; fer w w e e r efocuonnd verted into the most agreeableourselves in one of thosepretty and exquisitely clean Moorish habitations, of which Mahometan remains at Granada had given us so correct an idea. A patio, surrounded u r ir c r o o ur n t d p e a d ve w d it w h wo it t hdiff ti e e r r e s n o t f coloured gll. glazed tiles, is within which are cool-looking chambers,rec e i v i ng a their light through the horse-shoe a r ch es th a t l oo k in o the court ; and every p it h art ofbuilding theeen newly is wy as p clean an a d nd fresha s l though white washed. In the centre of the court stood a group of very pretty young women (the wife and sisters dew of Solomon Nahon), who, in the manner of the Jewesses of the East, stepped forward and kissed me as I crossed s the threshold. As I had been told that the costume of the women of Tetuan is a remnant of the fashions bequeathed to them by the luxurious Moors of Spain, s when they took refuge upon these shores, I was very curious in examining the toi m let e te s of b my pretty hostess, very elegant. some parts of which struck The mistress of the house wore a aeiknagifttia:n goldof green cloth, lined with crimson, and edged w ith so fashioned as to display the sleeves bos t o N m vis o t her chemise, which were tastefully embroidered in coloured silk and gold; the body was also enriched with a sort of stomacher of velvet, worked with gold thread and coloured foil, which produced a very rich effect. A striped silk scarf was tied round her waist : neither drawers nor stockings were worn by her ; and her pretty little bare feet were slipped t, i n to scarlet morocc o slippers edged with o•old twisd h '' heels as high as tho se which rendered our great grandmothers si grandement ridicules. Her dress, berg ure was the most complicated part of her composed of two handkerchiefs, one crimson, the other yellow, put on not exactly like a turban, nor even like a fillet, but something b e t w een the two ; and descend ing so low upon the forehead as merely . to show a little of the parted hair, which was disposed in shining braids close to the eyebrows. The head-dress was enriched with velvet ornaments, embroidered in foil and gold, like those affixed to her corsage. The dresses of the other women of the family only differed in colour from the one I have d escribed, with the exception of the younger sister of our hostess, who, being unmarried, wore her head unc overed, and her her hair parted down the middle and hanging over shoulders, braided into twenty or thirty small tresses. But the personal beauty of these fair Jewesses ap peared to us much more admirable than their costume; and, strange to say, it is a description of beauty quite distinct from the Jewish type. Nahon's wife has fine dark hazel eyes, with a complexion of the clearest red and white, and neither the full lips nor peculiar nostrils of her people, but something of what the Ital ians so expressively term simpatia,:in her blooming face ; but her less brilliant-looking sister, with her fairer cheeks, soft blue eyes, dark eyelashes, and light brown hair, attracted the gentlemen's admiration in a superior degree.—lffrs. Romer's Tour. ADVENTURE WITH A TIGER.--I had gone to dine in Salsette with Col. Hunt, the governor of the Fort of Tannah, about seven or eight miles from Bombay ; and as I had an appointment at home in the morning, and the night was remarkably fine, with a brilliant moonlight, I declined the hospitable invitation of my host and hostess to remain with them during the night: and ordering my palanquin to be ready at ten o'clock, I left Tannah at that hour for Bombay. Great portion of the way was over a level plain of some extent, and while we were in the midst of this, the bearers, of whom there were eight, four to carry, and four for a relay, with two mussauljees, or lantern-bearers, who carry their lights in the moon-light as well as in the dark, as a matter of etiquette which it is thought dis respectful to omit— in short, the whole party of ten in an instant disappeared, scattering themselves in all di rections, and each running at his utmost speed. I was perfectly astonished at this sudden halt, and wholly un able to conjecture its cause, and all my calling and re monstrance was in vain. In casting my eyes behind the palanquin, however, I saw, to my horror and dismay, a huge tiger in full career towards me, with his tail almost perpendicular, and with a growl that in dicated too distinctly the intense satisfaction with which he anticipated a savoury morsel for his hunger. There was not a moment to lose, or even to deliberate. To get out of the palanquin and try to escape would be running into the jaws of certain death. To remain . within it was the only alternative . The p alan q uin an oblong chest or box, about six feet long, two feet broad, and two feet high. It has four short legs for resting it on the ground, three or four inches only above the soil. Its bottom and sides are flat, and its top is gently convex, to carry off the rain. By a pole projecting from the centre of each end the bearers carry it on the shoulders , an d the occupant lies stretched upon a thin mattress on an open cane bottom, like a couch or bed , with a p illow beneath his head. The mode of entering and leaving .the palanquin is through a square opening on each side, which, . when the sun or rain requires it , may be closed by a . sliding door; this is usually composed of Venetian blinds, to allow light and air, in a wooden frame, and may be fastened, if needed, by a small brass hook and eye. Everything about the palanquin , however, is made as light as possible, to lessen the labour of the bearers ; and there is no part of the panelling or sides more than half an inch thick, if so much. All I coulddo, there fore, was, in the shortest possible spa ce of time, to close the two sliding doors, and lie along on my back. I had often heard that if you can suspend your breath and put on the resemblance of being dead, the most ferocious of wild beasts will leave you. I attempted tiger e i f u r N n ov g aasN a , a s ai l l s o . t n i : T s lla i The doors l a . this, by holdi ng m y b rea th as l on g as possible, and re it e n c d u n v he li . s e e n is t i amr s ed t l a lly t i nu closed saen E dd u b t es fn l oor f re o t u itn n hg d e were horrible. He first butted one of the sides with his head, and as there was no resistance on the other, the palanquin went over on its beam ends, and lay per fectly flat, with the cane bottom presented to the tiger's view. Through this and the mattress, heated, no doubt, by my lying on it, the odour of the living flesh came out stronger than through the wood, and the snuffing and smelling were repeated with increased strength. I certainly expected every moment that, with a powerful blow of one of his paws, lie would break in some part of the palanquin, and drag me out for his devouring. But another butting of the head against the bottom of the palanquin rolled it over on its convex top, and then it rocked to and fro like a cradle. All this while I was obliged, of course, to turn my body with the revolutions of the palanquin itself ; and every time I moved, I dreaded lest it should provoke some fresh aggression. The beast, however, wanting sagacity, did not use his powerful paw as I expected, and, giving it up in despair, set up a hide ous howl of disappointment, and slinked off in the direction from whence he came. I rejoiced, as may well be imagined, at the cessation of all sound and smell to indicate his presence, but it was a full quarter of an hour before I had courage to open one of the side doors, and put my head out to see whether he was gone or not. Happily, he had entirely disappeared, and I was instantly relieved. The next course to be considered was, whether I should get out and walk to Bombay, a distance of four miles, now near midnight, or whether I should again close my doors and remain where I was. I deemed this the safest plan, and re mained accordingly ; when, about half an hour after midnight, all my bearers returned, with several peons, or foot siathers, and muskets, pistol, lances, and sabres enough to capture and kill a dozen tigers ; but these were too late to be of any use.
