XIV.— SATURDAY, SEPT. 19, 1807. LBTTBR FROM MtlSTAPHA RUB-A-DUB KBLI KHAN, TO ASBM HACOHEM, PRINCIPAL SLAVE- DRIVER TO HIS HIGHNESS THE BASHAW OP TRIPOLI. Health and joy to the friend of my heart I — U&j the angd of peace ever watch over thy dwellmg, and the star of prosperity shed its benignant lustre on all thy undertakings. Far other is the lot of thy captive friend ; — ^his brightest hopes extend but to a lengthened period of weary captivity, and memory only adds to the measure of his grief...e, by holding up a mirror which reflects witii redoubled dianns the hours of past felicity. In midnight slumbers my soul holds sweet converse with the tender objects of its afifections ; — ^it is then the exile is restored to his country ; — it is then the wide waste of waters that rolls between us disappeais, and I clasp to my bosom the companion of my youth ; I awake and find it is but a vision of the night. The d^ will rise, — the tear of dejection will steal adown my dieek : — ^I fly to my p^ and strive to forget myself and my sonows, in oonversiiig with my friend.
