Tho i device was approved, and it was fa’vorcd' by the i lime, for Agrinplim was in tho habit of attend- , jJ)S l ho festival of the Quinquatrun at Bairo.— io that place Nero lured his mother, often do- i daring ** that sons ought to bear with We angry ! passions of- their parents, and try to pacify . them, In order that ho might givo rise to re- . ports of » reconciliation, and'Wat Acrinnirm J k * f or women are easily §isnoscd 1 to credit anything that pleases them.

The rowers advised-that the vessel should be thrown on one Side and thus sunk. But neither could tho rowers promptly come to an agreement about such a measure at the moment, -aiid' the rest by resisting it allowed Agrippina and her attendant to fall more gently into tho sea.— 1 While Acerronio, who lost her picsenccof mind,; I was calling out that she was Agrippina, and imploring help for the emperor’s mother, she; 'was-dcapatched with boat-poles and 'bars, and 1 other naval implements which chanced lo be in tho way.- Agrippina kept silent, and.waa con sequently not so well recognized, but yet she received onc.wodnd un her shoulder. Sho swam ,ti!l sho fcll in tvilh some buals, by which she was conveyed into thoLuorine Lake, and thenco I ,to her own villa. There turning over in : her I .mind the various circumstances—that it was! expressly for this purpose that-she liad ;been in-1 vilcd by treacherous letters, and treated with 1 particular. distinction ; that it was near tho shore, without being driven by tho winds or (dashed against -rocks, that the upper part of ■the had fallen in, just as any construc tion on land might have done: considering too the dealhof Acerronia, and casting her eycqon her Own wound ; reflecting ihat tho only pro lection against treachery was to affect ‘ not to see it—she sent for. freedman, Agcrinus, to 101 l her son that, by tho blessing of the gods and her own good fortune, she had escaped a griev ous-accident; she entreated ,• him, howevei* alarmed ho might.be at his mother’s danger, to defer tho trouble of paying her a visit. In the mean time, assuming on appearance of being perfectly at case,'she dressed her wound, and used warm applications to her body. She or dered tho testament of Acerronia to be sought fori and her goods to be scaled : in Ur's alorio there was no simulation., ,Nero, who Vds waiting for tho news of the' completion of his crime, received intelligence that Agrippina had escaped with no farthcrin jury than a slight she had -just been in danger enough to leave no doubt m her mind who.had planned it Half-dead with terror, and crying out that his .mother might bo expected every moment, eager for revenge; that she would either arm tho slaves or inflame the soldiers, or make her way to the senate and people, and urge against him the wreck pf tho vessel, her wound, nod the death of her friends; wh’at protection had he against her, if Seneca and Bamia could not .devise something ? and ho.immcdiatcly sent for them.

Scueca at last.sdjfar took tho lead as to look to Burrus, and askrWiother the soldiers should receive orders'to'klfl Agrippina. Burrus replied that the Prarotoriaps were de voted to all the family of tho Cmsars; that they cherished tho memory of Gcrmanicus, -and they would not venture on any extreme mea sures against his children : Anicetus, ho said, should perform hia promise: - '' Without'any heistation Anicetus ashed to be allowed to com plete his crime. Upon hearing these words, Nero declared that on that day the empire was really conferred on him, and to,a frccdmnn ho owed the gift i lie bade him go quick, and take with him the readiest men to execute his com manda. Nero- himS6lf, hearing that Agerinus had oomc Ip him with a message from Agrippi na, adopted (; a theatrical dcmtrivftnce to make him’look like a-crimlnal: white Agerinus wad delivering bis message, l ho threw down a 'dogger at his feeti; lie- then commanded him to be put In .chnlmd, a’tf if ho had been delected in on a'SSossination, iri ordcr that he might Invent' o’ false Story of his mother having plotted the de struction of the Emperor,'and then, through Shame at Her crime b'eing delected,'hovlngcora mtttcd.suicide';. >, ' • • . y-r. ~ In thb tocnniimc,' the danger of : Agrippina noised abroad, but' Only as an Accident the people, as they heard of it, hurried to theshoro. Some got upon the mole, others in to fho nearest boats ; s6mo waded into tho sea 1 is faros they could: and some stretched out thfclr hands: tho Wholo'coast wa'g filled With' the prayers,- lUb flhouU of people asking Questions or giving uncertain answers. ’ A great tnuhitudo crowded thith’er with llghttf, and, when it was generally known that Agrip- , pinn Was saf6, th'tiy Were preparing to'giVo her i theft 4 , congratulations, vriicn they lyerb dispersed - by the threats of a body of arrtud men'. I Apicclus posted men* about AgrlppinaV vil la, and, healing tho door, ho seized the. slavys, whom ho fnCt before hO reached the door of thq chamber. A fmv slaves Were static ding,there; the rest had been frightened nway by the soldiers breaking in. In (ho chamber there was a feeble light and a single female slavo. Agrippina was growing more and more uneasy that no messenger came from her son ; that even Agerinus did not return. The face of tho shore was now changed; there'were soli tude and sudden noises, and the Indications of some extreme calamity. As her slavo was go ing away, Agrippina cried out, “Do you too hS V iV h 0 ?, ami bcc * n ß, Anlcctus, accompanied Kna * U CUa ’ , a ?°P tai n of a trireme, and Olor- K 3, c * ™!‘ ur J on , in ll J° »1>« said, "if he Had coma (o see her, ho rnwit tell Nero that ! lf h ° 1 ’»'1 lo odmn iU crime, 6ho Would not believe that hffi™ Jinvy lu it : howould not command thcmuric? of lus iliotjur.

As tlio ccnlulion was drawing, liis sword to kill In*, slio presented her womb, and said "Strike hero;" and sho was despatched with many wounds, So far all agree. As la Nero coming to see tlio body ol his mother, nnd praising tlio beauty of tier person, there ore some authorities that have so stated, and there arc some that de ny it. Sho was burnt tho same night, on a banquoting couch, and with tho meanest cere monial ; nor, sojlong as Nero was in possession of power, was the earth piled up, or covered over. By tho caro of her domestics a slight tumu lus was afterwards raised on tho place, near tho road to Misenura ond tho villa of tho Dicta tor Ccosar, which stands on tho highest spot of ground, and commands a prospect of tlio bay below*. When tho funeral pile was lighted, a freedman of Agrippina, named Mnester, stabb ed himself; It is doubtful whether through af fection to his mistress, or through fear of being put to death. Many years before Agrippina had believed that this would 1 bo her end, and sho braved It. For, whoa oho was consulting ,i .
