anticipate the terrible mandate recently
vived, and that the IN FAINT of Sallha Sullana,
after being allowed to live forty-e ght hours, was
strangled almost IN the mothers arms. This
barbarous act produced the most violen, effects
upon the poor mother, who had flattered herself
thai her ehIId's life would be saved. Mysteries,
fever, and deIerum ensued: and after lingering
about two months, she expired on Saturday. The
