"A curious affair has occurred here, and has created
some sensation Four persons wearing masks, but
whose appearance indicated that they belonged to the
higher classes, waited two days ago on Mr. Colquhoun,
the English consul. On being introduced into his office
they carefully closed the door. He at first thought
they were Carnival maskers ; but they produced a
number of papers and presented them to him. Amongst
them there was a complaint, drawn up in strong terms,
against the administration of Prince Stirbey. Mr.
Colquhoun begged of them to take off their masks, but
they refused. When they left he examined the papers
and found that they contained some very curious
details."
