E the Bnbseribcrs.

THE CIRCABBIANS up mi: sun or sno- . TIFUI. SLAVE GIRLS. (iverulsud front tire French for the JV‘. Y. Ulla

A few days ago there arrived at the quarantine of Trebisond about two hundred Ciisauisns with I ll" ¢!|’l° of grist variety, but which they found sortie difficulty in disposing of by reason of e peccnisry straits in which urchasers are just now placed. The traders, who are steady friends of Shsinyl, the Mahoinet of the Caucasus, and the bitter and determined enemies of Nicholas, whom in their figurative language they call the

Vulture of the Snows, had for sale forty packages of _huinsn flesh. They were made up of a dcaen children of from four tonight years old, and of thirty femalotrsnging between 15 and 30. The quarantine doctor requested me to accompany himori his visit to this Strange spectacle. The Snpenntendent of the Lssarettc made the mer- chants and their wares stand in a line, so that we lied an opportunity of making a thorough examina- tion of the parties. ' he Circassisns were all very fine men, largo tall and strong. Their figure was an ex nisitely beautiful as that of n W°!|l|l|ithotrlim wore plump and muscular: their hands and feet were small; their ooinplexicn was swsrthy—prodnced by exposure to the mountain air— but their countenanoes, notwith- lllfldlllflr bore the impress of gentleness and manly courage: theirchests were full and rounded, and their step as proud as that of a monarch upon the stage. Their costume was very picturesque. It consisted of : great cost ornamented with lamb- skin, and which titted closely: of trousers out after the Turkish fashion, and made of light- colorcd cloth ; of a cap of gray felt with a band oflambskin, the wool of which was long and curled. They were red slippers without stock- ings, ands cloak of lambskin or of felt, with which they wrapped themselves with the utmost dignity. Aftcrhsving visited the merchants we approached the individuals they had for sale as near srtlie guards would permit us. The little Circassians and the females were ranged before the doors of the cells, and from their anxious sir seemed to inquire whether we were to about ur- chnse thorn. The children were beautiful but in form and in countenance. Yet the latter did not exhibit that infantile grace which is no observable in Europeans. They had an expression of gram, not nnmixed wiih_care which almost made .3. reglrtl them as little men who had Iltdgdy expcncncod the trials and diflicultiee or m',_ Young as they were, they seemed as if they hgd _ _‘heir look was that of deep reflection, tlieirgsit was slow and staid, their stare was piercing and inquisitive, their mouth pinched and serious. All these peculiarities filled us with as much surprise aesorrow, for they forced on us the conviction that this anxious air of preoocioug intellect sprang from fear of the future or from regret at being separated from those mountain lcenes amid which they had so far passed their Youth. They were clad in tattered clothes of no particular cut or color, an were no covering on their heads or feet. Their food was the same as that oftheir parents, and of the coarsest and least substantial kind. It consisted of millet cakes and of spring water, and notwithstanding this innutritious fare they all had blooming cheeks and the appearance of health and strength. We next proceeded to make aclosc inspection of the females. They were, with the exception of two young girls, all considerably advanced in years and destined to become servants or bath-tenders. Their faces which had a faded air, roduced undoubtedly more by fatigue and herds ip than by age. bore an expression of profound sadness and of vague inquietiide. Their looks seemed to interrogate us as to our intentions respectin them. One would suppose that they wished to fathom our characters in order to thrones their own destiny, and when they saw that our visit was one merely of curiosity, they cast theireyes upon the ground and waited until they should be a lowed to wit draw. One of these females was exceedingly beautiful. She might be fifteen or sixteen years old; the look she ave us was that of a proud and haughty soul, ut in her manner there was nothing of that nnive agitation which we had remarked in her companions and even in the little children. Her large, open and lustrous eyes were expressive of: mind at once both bold and cslin. ‘ tloubt imagined that her beauty would be her protection. and that even

influence. It would indeed be ditlicnlt to give anything like an adequate description of this women. But I have seen portraits which have a strong resemblance to her; they were, however, the works of great masters which I then believed to have been the creations of their fancy and not

° the representations of any huninn being. A great

master a not however deal merely in the fanciful, he delineates what he soosor what he recollects that he has soon. What I admired in this young woman was not so much her exquisite proportions, her grace and her charming coun- tenance, as her noble and queenly attitude. Her mien was something like that of Cleopatra; had sheadiadem on her head one could have taken her for one of those queens we read of in ancient history, or had she en an oaken chsplet, she might have passed for adiriestess among the

raids. This lovely in: , her life amid the now: of the Caucasus, and

When we had eon. templated this specimen of beauty, so rare in soy °°||nlI . we proceed to inspect the men who worst e fathers or uncle: of females and for sale. Th

_ case that the doctor interrogated them, and received their answers. I shall merely give the translation of my guide:

“ What is the price of this child I" said he to one of the Circsssiane.

“ Three thousand pizza," re lied the cum»,

[A sum equal to about francs. “ And what do you ask for the girl!" said the Doctor, pointing to the indlvjdsl just described. “ Twenty-five thona pinstres, neither -on IIOI’ lass” and seeing that the Doctor was as ing something to me in a whisper, dad: II 1,“ is not too dear, for her entire race is as I‘ from defects as her face. P. I“ The doctor was so accustomed to these that the present one made little or no imp on him, and he now confined his attention to whether Ill!!! Iflln ln ' ' ' M g&

iv lot who required his professional services. But in what light was I to regard cold I admire those men who carried patriotism and love of liberty to each a pitch as to sell their children! Admirstion no doubt I felt, but not without : sentiment of sorrow. Unfortunately, however, on rdscticn came to learn that it was not since the war began that these men have engaged in this detestable trnfle, and_that it was not merely for the purpose at‘ buying arms with a noble and heroic intention that they were in the habit of selling their daughters. their sisters, their sons and their hrothers, but that it has been practiced by the- from time immemorial for the purpose ofestisfying the commonest wants. lfelt a thrill of honor run through me when I looked at those obdurate and hesrtloss inen, smoking and laughing and coolly talking about the fate of their own lssh

ntl wished to leave the odious scene, but the doctor begged of me to stop and not con. demo the men before I heard them in ‘notification of their conduct. He took ' a be old man, the quick flashes of whose eye denoted birth, intelligence and communicativcnean. The latter, being interrogated by the doctor, said that it was from a sentiment of tendsrest election for their children that he and his countryisen were addicted to this tralfic.

" It is no trifling sacrifice that we make," said he in tho: spnrating ourselves from our dear children; but we are consoled by the thought that this separation will be useful to i an mountainous regions where we live our daughters are subjected to the greatest hardships. We have neither bread nor clothing to give them. But once that they are sold, the adies—they enter the hsrems of the Turks, they lend a quiet arid easy life, they feel no want of clothing in winter, and they have always broad to eat. And those who chance toget into the heroine of the great people have not only clothes and broad at their command, but also luxury, grandeur, and power. They amuse themselves in bath: of sin- ber. They have head-dresses of pearls. They have perfumes and music. and everything that tho tenderness and love of their master can procure for them. By their sides our sons who have been received by the Turks may become ofioers in the army, captains, esdis, panhns, and visisre. They then bless their parents who have had the ooumge and g _ series to emaneipste them from a life of hardships, of struggles, and of cruel labours. And then, when we rear then: with the intention of selling them. they know that no happiness awaits them in their own country, and therefore they leave it without regret. The uesians who wish to enslave us under the protest that we fol- low so unhuman trade are not better than we are. The great Prince (Shamyl), who knows them well, who has lived in their cities, and studied eir mariners and their laws. has often told us of the horrible deeds committed among the. We sell our children, because the soil of our count is unfrnitftil, because we cannot aflbrd them any other life than that of constant labour and of mi- sery that csntiot be removed. Yet we have gentle manners, we love each other, and we oblige and assist each other. Among us you will not find the neither will you as: prisoner nor executioner. The wishes of our old men are always attentive. ly listened to and respected. ntrnager risks his person in our mountains is always sure of roteetion and assistance."
