have been, she could not patiently en-
dure. For sometime, however, the
mother entertained the hope Off
awakening her natural affections and
making berthe companion of her fight;
but at length, despairing Of success,
she effected her escape alone, clad in
single garment, and took refuge with
her husband in the house of "A Frank.
Being poor and friendless, they had
been unable to make their way to the
sea-shore; and their humble retreat
having been at lengtfpdiscovere d, the
husband was now come to claim the
protection fthe French consul for his
wife. Up to this time, he observed,
they had willingly fingered, imagining
it still possible that their daughter, an
only child, might repent, and join them;
but since she appeared TO have volin-
tarily lorsaken her parents, her country
and her God, he had now resolved,
however bitter it might be, to abandon
all hope of her forever. The consul
already well disposed to exercise his
authority in behalf of the unhappy
Greek, pledged himself, at my earnest
request, to protect him and his wife,
and though, when left, they were
still in the city, make no doubt of
their ultimate good fortune.
