The attentioo of the whole party was now engro►sed
by the fallen Donna Carolina, who rolled spheri-
cally, as the thin Knight rolled, longi'udinilly, in
the same rapid streamlet. The greatest exertions
were made to elevate her, which, when it wen ac.
complished, displayed her so much anointed with
the mixture that had been destined for Don
Quixote exclusively, that she was no more seen for
that night. This accident, however, relieved the
Knight from further persecution : and as Sancho,
now the enact was clear, ventured to his assist-
ance, he crept out of the pickle, as worms in • gar-
den wriggle out of their holes after a storm of rain.
The Knight, though all forlorn, forgot not the ser-
vices of his faithful Squire, and sitting by the side
of the mess he had Jost escaped from, he said,
"Sancho, there is more in my power than you dream
of; I shell attend your coronation as king of the
island, which I mean to bestow upon you. You shell
make a public entrance into your kingdoni, and
I will receive you in your 'palace. I shall come
armed cap-a-pee to guard your crown and your
sceptre, which honour is all the reward I shall
-expect for my condescension. Of course I shall be
One of the many noblemen you will create when
yee receive your kingdom, though there is no oc- •
mourns for that trouble on my behalf, as my grand-
mother told me that I am a nobleman by descent."
However Sancho might have been captivated with
the prospect of worldly grandeur, he had a little
worldly wisdom about him, in ordinary matters at
least, and answered the Knight's mighty medita-
tions by saying, " Had I not better clean this filth
off your person, Sir, before we talk of the corona-
tion ?" The Knight at last recollecting that there
was a time for all things, wisely suffered his Squire
to proceed in his operation, but not without rug.
gelding many things Shut he intended to do on
Sancho', taking possession of his new kingdom.

Although our own letters make us doubt the re-

which may yet continue several days, of the cots•

and the fare of the Jews will be also that of the
Greeks. It is in vain to hope for ally moderation
on the part of the steel hllosselmen, even if
the Sultan desired it. The Mores will be one
vast sepulchre. This catastrophe was so sudden,
that many persons suppo►e Lord Stranglord hurried
the Sultan to finish the affair before the opening of
the Congress.
The Greeks io this town have got a gleam of
hope ; they say that the Turkish fleet which ap-
peared off Pain's, ■nd which took on board the
new Captain Pilch.' on the 7th of August, was de-
feated on the 13th, to the south of the Mores, by
the Greek fleet t.
