NARKOW ESCAPE; OK, TBE DOOMED CAPTIVE. Ia the year 1704, shortly before Gibraltar was taken by the confederate fleet under tbe command of Sir George Book, a young English offer was dispatched U that town, fir the purpose of establishing communica tion with the few inhabitants disposed to fsvor the English in their .Gibralter; but, hiring been warned in time, tbe Madrid poUe eeni emissaries with order to take the EngUM--i as soca as he should set fqot on Spanish ground.

He gave his false name, and every information respecting his assumed parentage; and so satisfactory cid he ans wer every question, that he would have been free but for the positive and minute order they had received. In their doubt they preferred being guilty of an unwar rentable arrest, rattier than let e man es cape, the apprehension of whom the Span tin eovernment considered a momentous question. Fitzgerald was therefore taken into custody until tbe arrival of further in structions. These were not long deferred; they were directed to keep him in close eonfiomeot, whatever his designation might be. ' The yonngman was accordingly trans ferred to one of the cells in tbe fort. , The psrt of the building where he was imprison ed was built on huge rocks. On one side it commanded tbe ea, and on the other lay.uufathomable chasm. The entrance . of the .tow?, could be reached only by a steep and dangerous declivity, leading, as in all fortresses, to the chief gate, the ap proach of which was defended by a ditch end drawbridge. 'The Governor of this prison, Senor Cor- vdova, being conversant with tbe English language, wa delighted to possess as an iomate this British officer, whose manners and conversation indicated a well-born, in talligent, educated person.' At' that per iod, this ws no ordinary occurrence among tbe inhabitant of the fort. Senor Cordova promised the young man a teach liberty a wa consistent with his uiirucBoin, ana essea iiim to join in a de fansive war against spleen and ennui This, VHrie willingly . accepted.

But " resided with him a lowly Audalusian whom he had serious intentions of ranking his wife. The possession of such a jewel rendered him suspicious and jealous. It so happened that the officer's heart felt smit ten with the maiden, who, on her part, re ceived most graciously his warm addresses. Their mutual fondness might have materi ally deranged Cordova's views, had not his jealous feeling taken umbrage at his rival. therefore, in his truly Spanish heart, lie resolved revenge on one who so badly re quitted him for his many marks of kind- UKS. ..-, 1 I However, it is but fair to state, in justice to the young Englishman, that he was to tally unacquainted w ith Cordova's intention respecting his ward.
