Inc klnQneSS anu care VIII WHICH tne Id
dies had been trealed; and The ransom
mouey was told into buckets OF water to
prevent contagiou. The beautiful F FAUNA,
al parting, lett two handsome shawls as a
remembrance. one for Captain Anderson,
anu the other Tor Capt. Gilbert. They
were conveyed from the brig SD closely en-
veioped, that not even "a figure was dis
cernaDle; and on their landing were sur
rounded by troop of blacks, or guards Of
the narem, and conveyed in closed Ill
ters to the town.
The kedpoie then sailed from Zante,
whittier Sir Frederick and Lady Adam
had goue, to whom the Captain gave an
account OF his mission, aud truly delighted
were they to hear that their fair protegees
had been so kindiy received. On our re-
turn to Corfu, The following Distressing in.
telllgence awaited Us. Ine TWO vessels
had scarcely sailed from the Gulf Of Le-
pantO, before The ruthless monster OF Pa
sha, pacing no latin IN The honor OF The
BRUSH officers, and deaf to all remonstra-
STRANGE, caused the whole OF these untorlu-
nate creatures, the beautiful and interest
ing Fatima among the rest, 10 be ued in
sacks and drowned III the waters of the
Cult. The horror and indignation with
which this intelligence was received at
Corfu, can hardly be described. Not
man but who would have gladly volun-
leered to have burnt Lepanto to The ground
and have hung the dog of a Pasha by his
own beard. But we were powerless: we
had 10 right 10 interfere, and were to
smother our indignation as we best could.
There was many wei eye in Corfu for
The fate Of poor Fatima and her luckless
companions. But judgment speedily o.
vertook the perpelralor of this must wan
Ton deed oI butchery, though it is strange
how noble were the last moments of this
man Of bloUd.
BY some means Cherchid Pasha had
incurred the suspicion OF The Porte. There
is but one way amongst the Turks of ex-
plainiug these matters. A Tartar shortly
arrived at the head quarters OF the pasha,
bearing the imperial tirnan aud the fatal
bowstripg. The Pasha no sooner read
The fatal scroll than he kissed it, and bow
ed his forehead TO the earth in token Of
reverence and submission.
"Do your instructions forbid ME to use
poison instead of submitting to the bow
stfing" Calmly asked the Pasha Of the
Tartar.
His highness may use his own pleas
ure," answered the Tartar. II have with
me a po,en, mixture, with his highness'
permission will prepare it,
The Pasha then called together all his
officers and his household. He was al
tired in his most splendid robes, and re-
ceived them in stale divan, as though in
the pleniiude of his power, The fatal
messenger stood by his side. tn one hand
be held the golden goblet all enriched
with precious stones, and in the other be
held the imperial 6ruan. II have sent
for you all, to show you by my example,
that IL is The duty of a Mussulman to die
a, the command of his superior as we'll as
to live for bis service and honor. The
sultan, our master, has no further occasion
for his servant, and has sent him his fir
man. 1t remains only for me TO obey. l
might il is true, resist, surrounded by
guards and friends. But no: respect the
will of God and our blessed prophet thro'
the word of bis successor. ! value not
life in comparison with duty; and pray
you all TO profit by my example."-With
firm and unAinching hand be carried the
poisoned goblet to his lips and drank it to
the dregs, then shaking his head as one
who had nauseous draft, he handed the
cup 10 the Tartar and said-"Keep it;
your potion is bitter Indeed; present my
duty TO your master. and say that his SER
want died as he lived; faithful and true.-
"And you," he added, turning 10 those who
stood dismayed around him, "if ever it
should arrive that any Of you should have
10 undergo-lhe same-trial," his voice
fallered, and his face became deadly pale:
"remember Cherchid Pasha! Alla!-Ac-
bar.-God's will be -" but before ne
could finish the sentence, bis head fell up
on his breast and he fell back upon the
cushions Of his divan aud expired.
The Tartar took bag from his girdle,
and with knife separated the head from
the body; the blood staining the jewelled
velvets. The head he deposited carefully
in the bag. tied round his waist, and in a
few minutes was on his fleet steed on the
road to Constanlinople.
We have this account from an eye
witness.
