OTHO OF GFAIMAjYY, AND THE PIRATE OF Tiff' MMJ'TERRAVEAN. A heavy rain ushered in a black au tumnal night which closed over the field of Busentelle; concealing, in almost impenetrable darkness, the flight of the fugitive, and somewhat abating by its gloomy influence, the fierce ardor of the pursuer. Tle uproar and tumult of the day had subsided. The shouts of onset, the neighing of steeds, and the shrill call of trumpets, had given place to the solitary voice of nature. No sound met the ear but that of the wind rushing through the half leafless forests; as two knights, armed cap-a-pie forced itr way thro the tangled mazes of a thick wood, bordering on the shores of the Mediterranean. The game is up?'1 exclaimed the foremost, rider suddenly springing from his steed, as the heavily-caparisoned war cliargrsank beneath him;tfcand my life and diadem, are not worth an hour's purchase !" 'Courage, royal Othof' said his com panion, likewise dismounting; and speak ing in a hollow and suppressed voice, as though the action gave him great pain; "the hope that has earned you thus far irom the hot pursuit of your enemies, must yet bear you on." 'Now by Saint Peter, noble count! your advice is physic to a dying man. My good steed has breathed his last, and these weary limbs will poorly aid me in-eluding, the scent of blood-hounds who track my steps." "Danger besets you on every side," returned the woundd knight impatiently ; "but delay is cei tain death. Mount my horse, and speed for life through the forest." "I value existence too little to prolong mine on such dishonorable terms, brave hermon. Never shall my enemies say that Otho of Germany fled like a coward, leaving his friend to the mercy of the treacherous fiends who have brought his life and honor into such fearful jeopardy "My liege, this is not a time to indulge; ill tiu.imu acmiuiciu?. i.iieuiitll

Otho gazed for a moment rn the lifeless form of his friend, sprang to his steed, and lied through the forest with desperate speed. The night was far advanced; the wind, which had been

rising for some hours dispelled the haze which had enveloped the moon, and she now shone in cloudless glory on the ocean.

No sail was vi-ible no indication of the haunts of men met the anxious glance of Otho. as he slowly paced the beach, leading his tired horse, and bitterly ru

To etfectjeasily be forgotten; ccthe remembrance this object would risk a discovery, jof its lineaments recurred to the mind While he was meditating on the course Jof the Emperor like a troubled dream,

to be pursued, the sound of revelry met

his ear the laugh, the song, the wildithe rash and impetuous career of youth,

huzza, rose on the wind, & mingled with! the hollow wailing of the billows, which rolled in living brightness at his feet. Olho looked cautiously around, as boisterous peal of merriment awoke the lonely echo of the place; but though the sound seemed near, no obiect met his eye, but the broad expanse of moving! water, and the deep shadow of the bold craggy ro k beneath which he stood, lie began to think something ot magical length the fol owing ditty was chanted in tull chorus, by many voices, in his native tongue: Where the sun warms, or the tempest, lowers.

This wild burst freed the Emperor from doubt as to the professions of the revellers; and he rightly concluded that he was near the rendezvous of one of the notorious hordes of pirates which, in that dark age, infested every island and shore of the Mediterranean. Finding that he was likely to escape from Scv 11a onlv to fall into Char) bdes, he was about to bend his course in a different direction, when his horse, with the na tural sagacity of his species finding him self near the na tints ci me., neighed long and loudly. The sound had scarcely gone forth, before all was sUent' in the cavern; and Otho had time only to dis engage his plumed helm; and commit it! to the deep, ere a huge stone was rolled from the mouth of a cave, artfully con cealed by a projecting angle of the rock. A flood of light instantaneously burst forth, revealinc a croup of men, various

His complexion had suffered from the scorching influence of the hotter climate and constant exposure to the weather; but the fire of genius pervaded his features, and flashed through the dark and piercing eye, which spoke

of deeds, boldly re?olvcd and fearlessly executed. His brow was marked with an expression of deep and settled melan

The cavern was strongly illuminated with torches, which gleamed on arms and trophies won from remote and bar barous nations. 1 he Laptam, however, motioned Otho to a seat at the lower end of the board, and having seen him w 11 supplied with refreshments, turned to a beautiful outh who was seated at his right hand, his head resting on a small lute.

Ouraff ction was mutual, and ;ihe promised, to become my bride, when the days appointed for the mourning for her father were expired. In the interval, returning to Vienna, I was received with the most flattering demonstrations of regard by the treacherous Oiho. But woe to him who puts any trust in the faith of princes! He accidentally saw, ind became deeply enamoured .( my beautiful Sarmatian. His passion knew uo bounds, and cruelty suggested the

most gpeedy method of satisfying hi? wishes. Finding me determined never lo surrender my promised bride, he accused me of treason, and suborned witnesses. I was tried by the circle of princes; they dreaded the indignation of the Emperor, and I was sentenced to a heavy fine and perpetual bi.nishment. Rage, despair, and love, were struggling in my breast. I gave myself up to the fury that possessed me; and, in the bitterness of the moment, denounced dreadful imprecations on the head of him who was the author of my sutFerings. But the measure of his crimes was not y et full. Eudocia resisted his passion, and treated

the bribes he offered her with the contempt they merited. Accusing her of magic, the enraged and vindictive Emperor sent her, under a strong escort, a prisoner to a distant castle. Permitted to bid adieu to my aged parents before I quitted forever my native land, I had not been many hours beneath the roof of my paternal castle before a friend communicated to me the tidings of Eudocia's senj fence and approaching imprisonment My first idea was to surprise the escort, and wipAback my bride at the point of the s wnrrl-Fhf rpsnlvn 1 ins!ntlv rnrripfl sword.Phe resolve I instantly carried into execution.
