w WE LATE LADY HESTER. STANHOBE. f

'We' announced formerly the death windy Hester Stanhope. Our‘readers w’,“ ,, ht be glad to have a brief sketch of the circumstances of that extraordinary woman’s life. ' e v ,

.It was at Djouni, in Syria, that Lady Hester dled, after a long illness, at the age of 64. . That reader must indeed be indiﬁ‘erent Who‘renrts not with interest to his recollections of Ta woman who bass-expired on the borders or the desert, amidstithe‘ Druses and Turkomans, over whom that noble daughter of the inﬁdels-once exercised so strange and so marvellous a sway !. The des- itiny’ of Lady Stanhope presents one of;th fea- tures of which not another instance couldper- haps‘be found in the annals of the East. Only imagine 40,000 Arabs suddenly assembled upon the ruins of Palmyra, and these wandering, sa- vage, and indomitable tribes surrounding, inni- lent astonishment and admiration, , a. foreign.- Wo- man, and proclaiming her Sovereign ofthcde- sert and-Queen of Palmyra! Convey yourself in thought to the scene of this incredible triumph, and you will then conceive what wOmau that must have been who imposed silence on Mussol- man fanaticism, and created for herself, as if

y‘magic, a sovereignty in the dominions of M0- liammed l I I

“ Lady Hester Stanhope,” says M. de Lamar- tine, in his admirable work, “ was a niece of Mr. Pitt. On the death of her uncle she leftvEng- land, and visited various parts ofEurope ; young, handsome, and rich, she was every where rec'ei- ved with the attention and interest due to her rank, fortune, mind, and beauty; but she cbn- stantly refused to unite her fate to thatot her worthiest admirers, and, after spending sumo years in. the principal capitals ofEurbpe,«embark-

real cause of this expatriation has beret-been known ; some have ascribed it to the deathvofa young English ofﬁcer, who was killed at that period in Spain, and whom an eternal regret must tender for ever present in Lady Hester Stanhope’s heart; others have imputed her voluno tary banishment to a. mere love of adventure in a youngperson of an enterprising and courageous

character. However .this might be, she depart- ed, spent some'yagrsqut Constantin l "and. then sailed for Syria in an English‘ves “anu-

ried also the larger part of her fortune, as well as jewellery, trinkets, and presents of all sorts; of considerable value.

The vessel encountered a storm in the Gulph of Maori, on the way to Caramania; the ship was wrecked, Lady Hester Stanhope’s property was all lost, and it was as much as she coulddo to save her own life. Nothing, however, could shake her resolution. She returned to England, gathered the remainder of her fortune, sailed again for Syria, and landed at Latakia, the anci— ent Laodicea. She had at ﬁrst thought of ﬁxing her abode at Broussa, at the foot of the Olympus; but Broussa is a commercial city, situate on the avenues to the Ottoman capital, and reckdning not less than 60,000 inhabitants; and Lady Hes- ter Stanhope sought the independence and soli- tude of the desert. She therefore selected the wilderness of Mount Lebanon, whose extreme ramiﬁcations lose « themselves in the sands. Ruined Palmyra—Zenobia’s ancient capital— suited her fancy. The noble exile took up her residence at Djouni, prepared for every vicissi- tude. “ Europe,” said she, “ is a monotonous residence; its nations are unworthy of freedom,

She applied herself to the study of the Arabic language, and strove to obtain a’thorough ac, quaimance with the character and manners of the Syrian people, One day, dressed in the cos- tume ofthe Osmanlis, she set out for Jerusalem, Damascus, Aleppo, and the Desert; she advan- ced amidst a caravan loaded with Wealth, tents, and presents for the sheiks, and was soon surrounded by all the tribes, who knelt to her, and submitted to her supremacy. I. . It was not solely by her magniﬁcence «that Lady Hester had excited the admiration of the Arabs; her courage had been proved on “more than one occasion, and she had alwaysfaced peiil with a boldness and enellrgy which "the "tribes well remembered. Lady ester Stanhopelg‘ue‘w also how to ﬂatter the Mahommedan prejudices. She held no intercourse with Christians'aiﬁ JeWs; she spent whole days in the grotto o'f'a Santon, who explained'the Koran to her; and never appeared in public without that mien Of majestic and grave inspiration which was always unto Oriental nations the characteristic ofpro- phets. With her, however, this condugteﬁsnot so much the result ofdesign as of a decided proneness to every species of excitement and originality. r l a I Lady Hester Stanhope’s ﬁrst_ abode was but a monastery, It was soon. transformed into an oriental palace," with pavrlions, orange gardens,

and myrtlcs,‘bver, which spread the fOliage Ofthe

cedar, and such as it grows in the mountains of Lebanon. “The traveller,”'to,vvho’m Lady‘H‘e‘st‘e‘r opened this sanctuary, Would behold ,her‘cljadhin Oriental garments. - Her head, was coveredlvvith a turban made, of a redand white cashmere. She'wore a long. tunic, with open loo§c_‘slceves~;
