AS Lady Esther Stanhope resides
here In summer, I sent a messenger
TO inquire at what hour could have
the honor Of paying my respects to
her.
By mistake, and not by any
fault Of mine, was announced TO her
as an EngIishman; she accordingly
wrote me note in her own language,
expressing the pleasure it would give
her to become acquainted with one OF
her own country which laid me
under the disagreeahle necessity OF
beginning our acquaintance by De.
stroying the hope which she had en-
tertained.
i found her with two slaves and
two little pages. in a wretched hut
which had a room at two of its an.
giles. She is tall and robust. and
must once have been handsome; but
she has already much the appearance
of an old maid. On her head she
had shawl striped red and white.
She wore short red pelisse over
male dress, in the Turkish fashion.
and over the whole white aba. with
| red strings. like an Arab sheik.-
She talks a great deal, and with the
| teeth closed. in the English manner.
/ Her conversation was extremely inte-
resting to me; she related her expe-
| dition to Palmyra, aud the conduct
Of the Arab Emir, whu had become
her friend, and whose character she
could not sufficiently praise. Yet,
| Notwithstanding the delight which
this excursion had given her, OBJ
served that she had returned from it
| with some fears. especially on &C
| count of the enmity that subsisted
| between two tribes. Next to the
pleasure of exercising influence over
several chiefs of this country, and
even a kind of dominion over
| others, fondness for horses seems
| to afford her the most resources for
passing her time. She can here ca
silly crafty her taste in this respect.
She spoke of these animals with rap
lures.
| The particulars which Lady Es-
Their communicated TO me respecting
the political relations of the neigh
boring tribes we're very instructive;
she especially boasted of having in
her service the most desperate rogues,
robbers and assassiRs, which gave
her great power. She had JUS sent
some Of them to procure information
respecting MIR. Bsutin. French
traveller, who was reported to have
been assassinated in the mountains
of Anssarieh, while he was pursuing
his bold resolution OF visiting those
famous mountains in Caramania.
After a conversation of several
hours. she sent for the Able Gandol-
pho, Roman missionary. who at
that time resided with her, * had one
of the houses Of the peasants as
signed me; she has hired several of
them in the village. She in general
eats alone, and very moderately. |
supped with Mr.. Gkndoipho. After
supper. ! returned to Lady Esther,
| with whom chstted till midnight.
She appeared to me to be a person of
superior understanding; but, with her
head full Of strange ideas, she does
we'll to remain where she is. Tho
we did not always agree together in
opinion. she did not show mo the less
kindness and attention, and gave me
a letter Of recommendation for Ha.
nah.
