 of marriage; but as soon as he had obtain cd his liberty, he basely pretonded not to

 know her, and treated her with scorn.

 The lady, pained in discovering that her

 confidence and love had been so entirely

 misplaced, and indignant at the unmanly ingratitude of Orlando, summoned the un- faithful prince to the royal tribunal and

 Peter, adhering to strict sense of justice, aaiudCed the cause in favour of Camiola

 Orlando being, in fact, according to the. custom of the times and the laws of war, slave whom she had purchased with her treasure.

 In consequence of the royal adjudication day was appointed for the marriage of tho Prince and his benefactress at which time Orlando richly apparalled and accom- panied by splendid retinue, repaired to the mansion of tho fair Camiola, whom he found also decked out in the gayest and most magnificent attire. Instead, howev- CT, of attending him to the altar, she told him that she scorned to degrade herself by an alliance with one who had dcbaScd his royal birth and dishonoured his knighthood by so cruel breach of faith; and that she would only bestow OH him, not her hand of which he had proved himself so unwor- thy, but the ransom she had paid gift worthy of mean and sordid soul. Her self and her riches she vowed to dedicate to heaven.

 No entreaties could change the resolu- ton of the justly offended Camiola; and Orlando, summed by his peers as dis honoured man, regretted, though too late, the bride he had lost; and falling into a profound melancholy, died in obscurity andsneglect.

 Bee Wa.-A few days since a remar- kably singular and interesting exhibition { of the wonderful instinctivc princiciple of the bec occurred this neighbourhood. It appears, that swarm of these sagacious insects, the property of person living at Pest-house, (about two miles from the town,) directed their course in search of food towards the stock of hives belonging to MT Rattu, an eminent gardener and florist, residing at Fratton, about mile distant from Pest-house. It is supposed they were invited thither by the luxurious and rich abundance ofdelicious sweets that the plantations of MT Rattu, even at this early part of the season of the year, so temptingly affords; and especially by the production ofa bed of mignionette, sown { near the apiary ofthe occupier ofthe prem- ; ises. It appears, that squadron or detach- I ment of the intruders from Pest-house first made their appearance on the more reflor- escent dominions ofther neighbours; which intrusion was justly resented, on their part by strong and vigorous opposition, and many the depredators were killed and wounded. Those who escaped to tell the tale of this disastrous invasion hastened back 10 their own community; and, as.tis well known that the bee is so easily irritated as to make frequent attacks even on suspicion ofintended injury, the whole body at Pest house was speedily in motion, and war of extermination declared against the innocent opposers of the late invaders. It seems, that the enemy's entire force did not move towards the inhabitants at Fratton at the ssme time, but went over in detached bod ies, and arrived at different intervals, until a masswas formed, near the mouth of the hives, of the sixe ofa hat, consisting in number of about 1000 or 5000 bees! T hus congregated, they were at liberty to com init their unlawful ravages upon the right ful property of others with impunity, which could not be borne with, and thereby combat was provokingly induced. A spir- ited resistance having been determined on, battle cnsued, which, forlA successive days, was obstinately supported; tue enemy retiring every evening, and returning to renew the attack in the morning. The Pest-house invaders were constantly obscr- we'd, towards the close of the day, to direct their flight, en masse, over the4 parsonage house at Kingston. The result of this con- fict has proved destructive to the innocent defenders at Fratton, several thousands of them being. killed, and their homes, during the fortnight of voracious contention plum dered of about two hundred weight ofhon- ey-squadrons of the deprcdators being constantly employed on the several days, incarrying on their bloods.ained spells. MT ,Rattu was, during the time, frequently occupied proximate to the apiary in defend- ing his property, by piece of wood in the shape of battledore, and, as he experience ed no difficulty in distinguish his own bees from those of the Pest-house, he by this means destroyed many ofthe latter, as they ! ss.l:.:Ia afl., cav.o x,.:.ks,s hs. .ru.L
