The agony ol her mind cannot be described. She trembled and wept bitterly ; but three or four of the Brahmins, assisted by an old .toman, who held her under the arm, forced the unwilling victim toward the fatal spot, seated her no the wood •icd her hands and feet, lest she should run away, aad in that silua lion the innocent creature was burnt live. the ratal period of the birth of Napo- neurd hy a private and re p-cuble Icon, until juat before the trial of the ,.,.,rce, that a gentlemen direct from king, the work lias ihe enchaining Fl >nda had met lbs Georgia I'roup interest of a romance.
