see that it is quite impassible for me to answer such a ques-
tion as be has put tome. He mks whether I hays "reason
to think" that the instructions given to General Mouravieff

ment does not communicate to us the instructions rt give.
to Na spats, and if I were to state merely what I think. I
sboald only be misleading my bon. friend and the home.

port. The father replied that his tontine were wily_ its. •

mother thee stated that the boy was a Roman catholic, and
lereincht up in that faith, but the father was a protestant
Mr. Corm thereupon observed that his religion had not
