TUG GYPSY DAXCCIU
BY JAMES M'CAIIROLL.
On the 19ih of March, 1817, and
just as the sun was descending the
western sky amid vast piles of gloom
elouda, General Scott, with thirteet.
thousand men, lauded near Vera Cruz
The city was defended by the .trong
castle of San Juan ds Ulloa, and was
otherwise well fortified, so hat the
General found it prudent not to attack
it at once, but to speud a few days in
throwing up works and in making the
best possible deposition of the forces
under his coinrnaod. He Wis, beside,
anxious to gain somj reliable intclU
gence of the number of nn that
garrisoned the place, and especially
the amount of the force that occupied
the castle. To this end he give orders
that all straggling natives found in ttie
vicinity of the camp should bo taken
into custody and brought before him.
The third or fourth evening after his
arrival, a young gypsy woman, of great
personal beauty, with a tambourine in
land, and attired in the most pictu
resque manner, was captured by one of
the outposts, and immediately con
ducted to the General s quirtcrs. She
fipoke French and Spanish with great
fluency, but appeared unable to com
prehend a single word of English.
When interrogated as to the sirength
of the force that occupied the castle
nd city, he said she could noc speak
with any degree of certainty, although
ehe thought she heard it rated at
j
about 20,000, while she knew, as she
said, that the castle was regarded as
impregnable. This, although not pos
itive information, was far from agreoa
bleto the General, who did not sup
pose that the city was so strongly gar
risoned, or fancy that he had such
heavy work before him ; but, lest his
own comparative weakness should
reach the ear of the enemy and
provoke a sortie before he was prepared
to meet it.he gave orders that tne jjypsy
should be detained in camp under the
strictest surveillance ; but that at the
same time she should be treated with
the utmost kindness and courtesy. (
That she was a dancing girl ecemed
obvious, not only from her costume,
but from the colored slippers she wore
and the golden bands that to ;ircled
ber auklas. She could not, however,
le induced to exhibit her skill, and
noticed, with apparent satisfaction, that
that whenever she was urged to do so in
the presence of a certain young lieuten
ant named Randolph that officer became
greatly uioved and iovariably begged
that his friends would desist from
troubling the fair captive or the Seffora
Isabella, as he soon learned to call tier.
Her look of gratitude and 'the thanks
that becjied in the spleudor of her
large dark eyes on such occasion i were
not lost upon her handsome champion,
and as he spoke Spanisbiassably well,
and French excellently, the youthful
pair became speedily attracted towards
each other until, in a few days, and
just as the batteries were about to open
file upon the castle, it was acknowl
edged in camp that llandolph
was over head and ears iu love with
the gypsy girl.

defend the place to the last, his heart
often failed him when he l jjk:d upn

creature of twenty and h"n only child,
and thought of the terrible cauulties of
war, and the possibilty of her filling

Scarcely h;'d the first gun of the be-

Lieutenant lt iudolph was fcverely !

castle that struck him inffcie side.
When the trttelligcnco was borne to j

through all his pain, an expression of
the nii)st extreme happiness overspread
Jiis palb;d features. That such ineffa

so fearless an outwafM expression
was a matter of surprise second only to

Randolph's wounds, under her skillful
bauds he was able to move slowly
about tho camp within three days alter
ho had received the inj.iry. This was
attributed by many to the gypsy's kiiowj
edgd of herbs, which she wa stid to
have found in the vicinity of the
trenches and which she applied to
hurt. There was low, it was thought,
7
but little occasion to keep very strict
eye upon her, as it was believed that
she had become a willing captive, and
as she evinced, besides, such interest
in the wounded, to whom she was
ever ready to minister, her presence iu
the camp was deemed the great of
blessings.
Ou the seventh or eigth day of the
siege, toward evening, and in the midst
of a tremendous storm of rain and
thunder, a Mexican peasant was discov
ered lurking in the vicinity of one of
the outposts, and was captured. He
was a man of great personal strength
and activity, and gave his nrne as
Jose Melandez. He averred that he
had known nothing of the siege or the
presence of the American army until
wethin reach of the guns of
the latter and that he was on

absconded with
Melandez. For
liiouieut his senses were completely
paralyzed, and ho gazed at his friend
' as if he had lost all control of his
j tongue arid reason, until, gra ping the
the full extent of his disaster, he
staggered buck into his tent once mure
and threw hiiuselt on its floor in an
ao n3 of anguish and despair. In
vain did his fricud assure him that the
1 I,sy was totally unworthy of such
i
affection, and that being a deceiver he
was well rid of her. He only thought
of her beautiful face and form, and of
the love he fancied she bore for him.
Hut could it be true that she had left
him forever without a single token or
word of farewell ? It could not be eo.
There was some mystery in it that
would be explained in time. He would
not doubt her truth ! Stic had been
spirited away against her will, or, in
some manner beyond her control,
Calming the tempest whose devasta
ting power had swept his bosom with
such terrible effect, he stepped forth,
accompanied by his frieud, who com
mended the firmness he now assumed,
ana entered the deserted tent. There
lay her tambourine upon her couch,
which had not been slept on the pre-,
vtous night, he took up the instrument
as if to press it to his heart, when his
eye caught some character traced upon
the vellum. Ho linked them together
eagerly until he form 2d the sentence:
"Jieloved we shall maet agiin Boon,
when all be explain d by your own
Isabella."
A' sudden frenzy ol joy seizs 1 him, as
pifiable almost to look npon as the
jj-rief that had shaken him so dread
fully a few moments previously. He
kissed the instrument 'again and asrain
and bore it off to his quarters, where
ho hung it within reach of his cot
Soon, however, his trstacy passed away,
as the possibility of their never meeting
again obtru led itself upon him. Still
there was some hope and this bouyed
him up, although over a gulf of the
darkest despair.
The city was now begining to sufler
severely both from tho fl?et and thodand
force and one more grand sortie was to
he made, which, should it prove in
effectual, would be the lat, as the idea
of capitulation would then be entertained
This frlri hope wis led by the Gov
ernor if the castle, but liko its prede
ers.sors, and nt withstanding his skill
and curagc it fuilel. Thn glory and
triumph of tha Ani"ricin fiig once
thoronglhy srenred, no heedless humil
aiion was thurst upon the Mexicans,
ind the Governor of the castle was not
mly landed for his courage and his
noble defense of tho city, but became
an object of great admiration among
the con juerers. General Seott, when
the castie had surrendered into hi
land five thousand prisoners and five
inndred pieces of artillery, begged that
lhe Governor aud his family should
retain their office apartments. This
ed to an invitation to dino with the
iovcrnor within the walls of the
anions fortress, on the day named for
1 corral's visit, as they were manned
by Americans only.
In tho mjauUtnc poor llandolph
although fast recovering from one
wound was suffering deeply from
auothcr. lie was, however, sufficiently
himself to ac?pt an invitation to uccom
pany the General, with whom he was
a "reat favorite, to the castle. Ho had
Iipp.ii iuikinir nvrv inmiirv vntt ih
fa'l ot the city in relation to his lost gyp
sy but to no purpose; and he was begin

When the hour for repairing to the
ca&tlc arrived, he joined the General

scarcely kinw where he was until he
was treading the corridors of tho
fortress toward the grand reception hall
where his Excellency and tho Lady

The reception hall, which was a uiag
