We have seen private letters from Europe, which
men,ion that it is supposed to be the intention of
Lord Byron, who has left England for the East, {.
Join Lady Hester StanhoPe, in Arabia. AS the re-
markabic adventures al this distinguished lady may
not be known to many OF orr readers, we copy the
following account Of them from a late French pa
per.
Lady Hester Stanhope, who helosgs TO one of
the first families in England, tnerits place among
the most celebrated and intrepid travellers OF the
pi esent age. This lady, the niece, the friend and
intimate companion of the great Pit, WAS not less
attacked To- hiio 10y conformity OF mind than by the
ties OF blood. She enjoys pension from her coun-
try. Pitt, who, as is known, died without fortune
left to his neices, poor like himself few lines in
which he recommended them to tie generosity of
the people OF Englsnd.-Alter the death Other I'M
Gle, Lady Hester formed the project of travelling
in the Levant She first repaired 10 Malta, and
from thence proceeded to Constantinopie. WISH
ing afterwar S to make pilgrimage to Palestine
she sailed for the Holy Land, but had the misIor-
tune to be shipvrecked of the Isle of Rhodes
Cast on barren rock, she seemed to be destined to
perish of hunger; but an English ship which ap-
peared on the following day, took her on board, and
conveyed her TO Syria. There size travelled in all
directions, accompanied by Mr.. Bruce, who has Just
been tried for the part he took III the escape of La
vaette. She spent several years wandering among
the ruins OF Palmyra and Metropolis, and expor-
ing the valies OF Mount Lebanon. Living for
whole months on rice and water, and accustomed,
TO tie frugay of oriental habits from being feeble
and debltated, she became a strong ard vigorous
misunderstanding to leiters which she has ad-
dressed to her ia.y in England, she is now at the
head ut three tribes of i}edouin Arabs who regard
her as being of superior order. She has had Sc.
veral children, whom she WAS fond Of brought to
herirom England-and she declares that she will
never t'rsake that land Of the sum- to breathe the
humid and cloudy atmosphere of Great. Britain.
