his nearest friends. Such was the state of
the once rich and joyous Genoa and the
bitterest thought of all was, that her pres
ent sufferings could conduce nothing to flu
ture good, either as to her liberty or her
independence. The fortitude of all was
exhausted. Massena alone retained his
hrmness, because his mind was bent on
aiding the enterprise of the Consul, and on
preserving in fact his reputation as an I'M
conquered commander; but, at last, when
honorable conditions were offered by Keith
ne brought down his spirit to composition.
since even the loathsome and poisonous
food Genoa was reduced to, could not last
tor more than two days longer. Yet, still,
his tone was rather thatof u successful than
defeated Generals he insisted on the
cession being called a convention, not
capltulation, which the allies were forced
to grant.

and the main shore. AS you shoot out
again into the broad stream, you come in
view of plantation with all its busy and
cheerful Accomplishments At other times
you are sweeping along for many leagues
together, where either shore is boundless
and painless wilderness. A contrast is thus
strongly forced upon the mind, of the high
est improvement and the latest pre- eminent
invention of art with the most lonely aspect
of grand but desolate nature,-the most
striking and complete assemblage of splen-
dor and comfort, the cheerfulness of float
ing hotel, which carries, perhaps, two hun
dred guests, with a wild and uninhabited
forest, it may be an hundred miles in width,
the abode only of bears, owls, and noxious
animals.

AN OLD STORY.

The following singular adventure was re-
lated some years ago in an English rlewspa-
per: Two men, tired of life, took the reso-
'---~-. SrNta ti------1---- CL.,.. l. 4
them without being known to each other, to
NIX on the same spot for the execution of
their purpose and they met on Westmin@
ster bridge, whence they proposed to throw
themselves into the Thames Very different
motives had led to this result. One, born
to large fortune, was satated with pleas
ure, and having no resources within himself,
resolved to get rid of life which he found
painful and burthensome. The other having
applied himselfto commerce, which he had
pursued for many years with interchangeable
industry, was now, by series of losses and
disasters, irretrievably ruined. Despair
brought one thither, disgust and safety the
other. Both being young, were struck with
having come to the same spot for the same
purpose by different routes. The disguised
man having heard the others story, said to
him, "There is no remedy for my unhappi.
ness there is for yours | am rich. and can
heal your sorrows, by giving you part of my
property; | shall, at least, have performed
one good action before destroy myself,
and your motive for getting rid of'life will
be removed"
The despalring man was delighted with
the project of the disguised one (; but the
latter, after saving the life Of the other, had
no longer any wish to make an end Of his
own; the good action he had done recon-
ciled him to existence.
A strong friendship ensued between the
two men, in consequence Of this meeting (;
the one gave the other his daughter in mar.
rage, and both are now as much attached
to life, as they were for q moment Disguised
with it.

in it, and his gait and appearance we're so
exactly correspondent to that of the ami
mails, that, imperfectly as they were al
ways seen through the trees and iungles,
the disguise could not be penetrated at a
distance, and scarcely discovered upon the
nearest aspect. He was armed with dag
ger and a tomahawk." Such was the SUBJ
stance of this mans relation. The cause
of the disappearance of the other sentinels
was now apparent. The Indians, shelter
ed in this Disguise secreted themselves
in the coppice, watched the moment when
they could throw it off, burst upon the sem
tinels without previous alarm, and, too
quick TO give them an opportunity to dis
charge their pieces, either stabbed or scalp

they concealed at some distance in the

THE GREEK HEROINE BoBoLINA

lrlpolIZa Is situated in the central part of the
feloponesus, of which it is one of the most con
siderable towns. 1t was besieged, and after ar
obstinate resistance, taken by the Greeks ir
io2l Fifteen thousand Turks lost their lives
here. In his account of this siege, DR.. Howe
presents the following picture of Greek hero
Inc OF some celebrity. She is not the mos
charming and romantic of heroines, according
to the Doctors description, but this is no dis
arrangement to the Greek cause. She is little
OF the Amazonlan cast, but sufficiently GOOD
heroine IN war against Turks-ButLetin
Amid this motley throng Tof besiegers7
one was particularly remarkable; the ia.
nous heroine Bobolna, the modern Arte-
misia Of the French and German writers,
who have represented her as beautiful, brave,
and disnterested giving up her great
wealth to her country, and leading on her
ships to battle in person. 1t is really pity
to spoil so fine a picture but it would be
carrying respect to imaginative female he
roism too far, to allow it to gloss over the
abominable conduct of Bobolina at Tripoliza.
That she was brave cannot be doubted, for
she defed alike danger and shame but she
was old, and ugly, and fat, and greedy
and as for her disinteredness, she owned
that her sole object in leaving her vessels
and coming to the. camp, was to get her
share of the expected plumber. She was
the widow of rich Spetziote merchant,
who dying about the commencement of the
revolution, left her in management of all
his property. She then, following the bent
of her bold and masculine disposition, as
well as a thirst for gain, fitted out two briggs,
and went with them herself to the fleet ;
nor did she shun any danger. Her vessels
were now blockading the gulf of Napol di
Romania.
1.-THE rich Turks took advantage of the
truce to make their peace with Colocotroni
and the other Chiefs; they heaPeI upon
them presents in money, plate, and jewels,
to an immense amount, hoping to secure a
friend and by sacrificing part of their
wealth buy protection for the rest. Mules
and horses loaded with plate and rich goods,
were nightly sent off by the Greek Chiefs 10
their respective homes, under strong es-
corts and loud cries of discomfort began
to be heard among the soldiers, who saw
their prey thus taken from them.
" But none was more forward upon this
occasion than the. heroine Bobolina, and
none more greedy, or successful protected
by her sex, she entered the town astride
her horse, and impressed the Turks with a
high idea of her power and influence. All
of course were anxious to buy her favor
she even penetrated into the forbidden re-
cesses of the Bashaw's palace, the helpless
and affrighted beauties of which place ca
gerly crowded around her, heaping upon
her their jewels and rich ornaments, the
pride of their hearts, and begged for her
protection. The heartless old bag took all
and repaid them with hollow promises, and
waddled off with her load of treasure, tc
put it in place of safety, and come again
