daughter, consented to his consort's death, in order
that, without trouble from the Empress, he might
enjoy the society of his mistress. Among the ex
traordinary accidents of fortune, it happened one
day that the Emperor had placed his mistress in a
private apartment during the time he himself was
employed in holding a court; but as his heart was
wholly devoted to this beloved object, he eagerly
desired, on being released from business, to pass
some time in the enjoyment of her society. Now
it so happened, that Ekatarinah passed through the
apartment in which this lady was placed; and the
damsel, from the arrogance inspired by her convic
tion of the Emperor's devoted attachment, failed to
pay due respect to Ekatarinah. The latter, there
fore, through royal indignation and elevated rank,
and burning with the flame of envy and jealousy,
gave her a slap on the face. As it had been laid
down in the code of Peter, that if any person should
be guilty of an act contrary to the rules and sta
tutes contained therein, or perpetrate any for
bidden crime, the Vizirs and supreme judges should
assemble in court, and proceed to investigation and
proof, and then by a general decree to ordain the
punishment affixed to that act, and order the
appointed sentence to be executed: from whence
no person has the power to oppress the Em
peror's pensioners, who derive their subsistence
a ud salaries from the court, or inflict injury on the
weak and destitute peasantry. In consequence of
these regulations, the fire of indignation burst forth
lnt o flames from the recesses of the silver-bosomed
damsel's heart, and tears streamed from her eyes.
