I have mentioned the arrival of another vessel from the Elbe.

He descried her early one morning as he was passing along the skirt of the river.

She was easily recognized, being the ship in which he had performed his first voyage to Germany.
He immediately went on board, but found no letters directed to him.
This omission was, in some degree, compensated by meeting with an old acquaintance among the passengers, who had till lately been a resident in Leipsig.

This person put an end to all suspense respecting the fate of Theresa, by relating the particulars of her death and funeral.
Thus was the truth of the former intimation attested.

No longer devoured by suspense, the grief of Pleyel was not long in yielding to the influence of society.
