has delirium rem. ms. l attribute this
to the abuse of intoxicating liquors, and
in particular to that OF absinthe, which
he drank habitually before his accession
to the throne, when he lived at Pera; to
his debauohery and his depraved tastes.
to the remorse which constantly hsunts
him. and reminds him of his uncle pois.
oned and his family maasacred, aud to
his fear Of seeing the Russians enter
Constantinople or the Mussulman fana.
tics invade his palace. His faculties are
dulled, he is almost imbecie. his head
rolls. be has lost his hair. and vet he
calls for raki. for preserves.
