The" Bastinado 1 Tho following thrilling ac
count of the punishment nf the Baslioado, is
from “Incident* of Travcis in Egypt”—a new
work in course of publication by the Harpers!
I had heard much of this, a punishment exist,
ing, I beiievo, only iu Ihe East, but I had never
sesu it inflicted before, and hope l shall never
nee it ogam. As on Ihe former occasion, 1
found the little govenor standing at one end of
the large hall of entrance munching and trying
causes. A crowd was gathered around, and be-
fore him was o poor Arab, pleading and beseech
ing most piteously, whilo Ihe big tears were roll
ing downh-s cheeks; near him was a monwhose
resolute and somewhat angry esproaaion, mark
ed him as tho accuser, seeking vengeance rather
than jttstico. Suddenly the governor made a
gentle movement with his hand; oil noise ceased;
all stretched their necks and lamed iltcir eager
eyes towards him; the accused cut short his cry
ing, and with hi* mouth wide operand His eyes
fixed upon the governor. The latter spoke n
few words a very low voice, to me of
course unintelligible, and, indeed, scarert
ly audible, but they seemed to foil upon the quick
ears of the culprit like bolls of-thunder, the ago
ny of suspense tvtts over, and without a word or
u look, ho laid himself down on hia face at the
feet of the governor. A space was immediate
ly cleared around; n nton on each side took hint
by the hand, and stretching oat his arms, kneel
ed upon and held them down, while another
seital himself across his neck and sliouldere.—
Tims nailed lothe ground, the poor fellow,
knowing that there was no chance of escape,
threw up his feet from the knee joint, so to pre
sent ahurizontol position. Two men came for
ward with a pair of long stout bars of wood, at
tached together by a cord, between which they
placed the feet, drawing them together with the
cord so as to 6x them in their horizontal position,
and leave tho whole flalsurfaco exposed to tho
full force of the blow. In the mean lime two
strong Turks wore standing ready, one at each
rids, armed with long whips much resembling
our common cowekin, hut longer aud thicker,
and mode'of the tough hide ol the hippopota
mus. While the occupation of the judge was
suspended by these preparations, the janizary,
bad presented the consul’s leltel. - My sensibili
ties ore not particularly acute, but they yielded
in thio.instonce. I had watched all the prelimi
nary- arrangements, nitrving myself for what
was tocomo.butwhen Ihesrd the acotiree whiz
zing through the air, and, when the first blow
fell upon the naked Icot, sow the convulsive
movements of the body, and heard tho first loud,
piercing shriek. I could stand it nd laQgef- I
broke through the crowd, lorgoutng Ihe gover
nor and every thing else, except lire agonizing
sounds from which I was escaping; but the jani
zary followed close at my heels, and, laying his
band upon my arm, hauled me back to tho go
vernor. If I had consulted merely the impulse
effecting, I ehould hove consigned him, and the
governor, and tho whole nation of Turks, to the
lower regions; but it was oil riot to offend this
Nummary dispenser ofjnstico, and I never ntnde
a greater sacrifice of feeling lo expediency,than
when I xo-enteredliU presence- The shrieltsof

distress—the cessation of nearly all kind of oil
t--rf»rizo— tlie privations to which the industrious
laborer and mechanic are exposed, all proclaim
in loud and emphatic language! this truth.—
Viewing tho depraved political condition ofuur

of our liberties distorted, with whatever con
struction their convenience or expediency rr.
