They were both elderly men; and as they walked with a firm step, their looks were pla cid and resigned. Their fate wrs inevitable; their retreat had been dis covered, and they were torn from their families to die. Indeed, it w as singular to observe the resignation, approaching to apathy, w ith which the (•reeks in general meet their fate.—. One unfortunate man had made his escape; but so strong was his desire, after a few weeks, to see his family again, that he ventured back. The very evening of his return he was dis covered in Galatia, and drag ed forth, 'file Greek knelt down, folded Ins arms on his breast tranquilly, without any c hange of feature, and was in stantly slain. 1 passed by the body of ibis man tw ice afterwards: the Turks as was their frequent practice after beheading, had fixed the head between the knees, in an upright position, so that his ghastly aspect was sure to meet the * v* s of the passenger. The Musselmans certainly excel all other i eople in their dexterity in taking off Hie head at one blow. Afterwards at Smyrna, 1 went early one morning to the execution of twenty-three Grr ei.s, who were put to death in this way with little pain. But the scene was closed before 1 arrived at the spot, where i he bodies were lying in aheap, it was truly shocking to see how cheap human life was held. ‘•The women were better off in this respec t: but woe to those who had a- ny beauty. They always found their way to the harems of the Turks to become their slaves and mistresses, w hile the plain ones w ere cared noth ing about. A young and very lovely Greek was offered for sale by an A- merican merchant at Constantinople, for twenty thousand piastres, (about six hundred | ounds.) One of the pashas, who had owed the merchant that sum, had sent him this lady, who had become bis captive, ns payment, lliat he must sell her for the full a- mount. Tlie sex were sadly degra ded at this period. At the storming i f iLvaly. a Greek town on the coast of Asia Minor, the Turks having put all the men to the sword, secuijCcl the few beauties for their seraglios ;nd sol i the rest of the women for f.fty piastres, or thi tv shillings, apiece.—• ( \t> tie's Fetters f rom the Fast, vok i. p. 8—11. below Spruce, in a house which was ^of from fifteen to twenty-live thousand before occupied by Gen.
