THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 8, 1862,

THE REVOLUTION IN GREECE.

(From the Times' Special arresponclent.)
ATHENS, Nov. 24.

In no other country I know do " coming events
cast their shadows" so long before them as in this
land of the sun and of ardent imaginations. For
days and days before the late revolution broke out
it was known and predicted. To-morrow was the
day fixed, until people had no more faith in that
deceitful " to-morrow" than in that " last day" of
clever tradesmen, who clear off their stock at "a
tremendous sacrifice" for weeks and months. Still
one fine autumn evening the revolution came off.
Not so long in coming, but not less frequently pre-
dicted, the crisis in the Alfred fever, as you know
by telegraph, has likewise broken out. Ever since
the people of Syra, about a fortnight ago, first gave
voice to that latent instinct which carried Greece in
that direction, the sound was caught up by scattered
voices all over the country. It was like the tuning
of the instruments which precedes the symphony, a
second signal, and every one knew it would begin.
It seemed as if Athens, which had yielded the
initiative in the revolution to the provinces, would
this time vindicate its rights as the capital of Greece.
On Sunday, the 16th, so said the voice of the Demos
of Athens—it was the day fixed for the organisation
of the first battalions of the National Guard and
the choice of their officers—the popular force was
to meet on the plateau in front of the Temple of
Theseus, and, after having finished the task for
which it had been convoked, to march in procession
through the town and proclaim Prince Alfred as the
future King of Greece. The Sunday afternoon came,
and a fine afternoon it was, but the review of the
National Guard did not come off; the battalion of
the students alone met at the University, and not
able to come to an understanding, the Peloponesian
portion of the students congregated before the
Temple of Theseus, while the others chose some place
in the town to debate the choice of their officers.
It had been a false alarm, and, as in the revolu-
tion, the Athenians in the movement for Prince
Alfred likewise missed the chance of taking the ini-
tiative. It was no fault of theirs ; it was in the na-
ture of things that it should be so. Shut out, as
the provinces are, in a great measure, from the outer
world, they are slower in receiving new ideas ; but
having seized hold of an idea, they act upon it
much more promptly than the capital, following the
promptings of their unsophisticated nature, and in-
accessible to all those considerations and influences
which are calculated to check the impulse at Athens.
While the politician of the capital, who " goes in"
for high politics, was pondering which would be the
best way of agitating the cause of Prince Alfred—
whether it would be better to wait for the Assembly,
or whether it was more to the purpose to agitate the
question now, and thus make the proposition of an
English Prince the rallying flag for the election,—
while this same Athenian politician was calculating
what would be the advantages and disadvantages of
each course of action, how it would affect his own
prospects, the position of the provisional Govern-
ment, the sentiments of the guaranteeing Powers,
and the fate of every one and everything else, the
inhabitant of the provinces, only anxious to find a
way out of the uncertainty of the moment, and to
avert the dangers of the future, threw himself at
once into the movement which promised thespeediest
and most satisfactory solution of his difficulties. He
knew nothing, or if he did he cared little for the
first information of Lord Russell about the impos-
sibility of Prince Alfred's election, or for the pains
the French Minister here was taking to confirm
these first impressions, or for the anxiety of the
Provisional Government to keep well with every,
body, and, above all, to avoid all cause for popular
emotions.

However, the news of the expected arrival of
Prince Alfred at Corfu, embroidered as it was by
lonian imaginations, was too much even for Athens.
All considerations and hesitations sank into the
background before it. The news arrived on Thursday
last, and already on Friday it was decided to have a
grand demonstration on Sunday, Who decided it
would be difficult to say, for the Athenians have
shown their good sense by not aping the revolu-
tionary traditions of France with all their clubs
and committees, and they are thus happily deprived
of those questionable engines for getting up rows or
demonstrations. The decision about the demonstra-
tion was therefore nobody's in particular. Every-
body was in it—politicians with or without a name,
tradespeople, students, officers, and soldiers—the
Demos, in one word. How thoroughly this was the
case you will be able to judge from the circumstance
that while everybody was preparing for the demon-
stration on Sunday, a demonstration quite as large
and unanimous was improvised to everybody's sur-
prise on Saturday.
It was the result of popular impatience at the
news that Athens had again been distanced by the
provinces, and the defeat this time was even more
humiliating, for it was neither one of those situated
on the Gulf of Corinth whieh had first received the
news of the speedy arrival of Prince Alfred, nor was
it one of those which had grown rich by commerce
with England, and which might therefore have been
supposed to be the first to see the advantages of a
connection with England. It was the Phthiotis,
the north-easterly border province towards Thes-
saly, which took the lead—a province comprising
the richest agricultural province in Greece in the
fertile valley of the Spercheius, and the most turbu-
lent Klephts in the wilds of Mount Othrys. More-
over, things had been done as thoroughly and
systematically by the people of this Ultima Thule of
Greece as if they had made a special study of the
principle of the sovereignty of peoples, and of the
best ways of applying it according to the most
approved models in Europe.
At 6 p.m. on Saturday last the telegraph informed
us that Lamia, the capital of the Phthiotis, the

before the Government House and informed the
authorities of their resolution, the Municipal Coun-
cil endorsed this resolution, and a salute of 101
guns from the Acropolis announced the will of the
people of Lamia all over the province. It was at
the same time decided to open registers in town and
country, and collect the signatures of all those who
I were for Prince Alfred.

past 8 p.m. my attention was aroused by

past
cheers which followed each other at shorter and
longer intervals. Having had some opportunities
of studying the different keys of the popular voice
elsewhere, I was not long in making out the mean-
ing of the shouts. There could be no mistake they
were cheers of joy, three or four in quick succession,
and then again a pause of a minute or so; they
sounded like a call to arouse the town and invite it
to join. Down I went, therefore, into the street to
see the proceedings.
An unusual glare, rather an event in this badly
lighted town, directed my attention towards the
northern outskirts of the town, on the road to
Patissia, where a large cafe forms, as it were, the
boundary of town and country. It is situated at
the corner of the broad boulevard which, running
down in a straight line from the palaee, passes by
the University, crosses the Patissia road, and ends
in what was formerly the Place Othon, and what
has been now re-christened the Place Omonia.
Cafes are institutions in countries where people pass
their life out of doors ; they are nct merely places
of recreation, idleness, and gossip, but they are the
centre of every kind of activitY—political, social,

passes his morning in the Bella Grecia, in the
centre of the town, and adjourns in the afternoon
or evening to the Cafe Hafta, on the Patissia road,
where he can see fashion, walking or driving, or
hear the military band when it plays in the Place
Omonia.

This latter was therefore the natural starting point I '
for a demonstration. IV hen I arrived it was in an
embryo state, and so small seemed its beginnings
that your first impulse was to hide yourself in a
dark corner, so as to avoid all participation in what
promised to become a ridiculous failure. Two hack-
ney coaches, each with half a dozen people upon
them, holding up torches and candles before a litho-
graphic picture, the subject of which was mysteri-
ously hidden under a flower wreath, but which the
zetos proclaimed to be that of Prince Alfred ; around
the hackney coaches perhaps 50 or 60 people look-
ing at what was doing, or lighting other torches
and candles and joining in the periodical cheers ;
while in the distance an infantry and cavalry patrol
was watching the whole proceeding. It was as
humble a beginning as I ever saw on such occasions,
and nothing proved better how spontaneous the ,
movement for an English Prince is than the man-
ner in which this humble beginning swelled out
into grand proportions. Already the shouts and
lights were beginning to attract attention. Although
the scene took place on the outskirts of the town,
every minute brought fresh arrivals from all sides ;
the houses along the long street which extends from
that point in a straight line to the Tower of the
Winds became animated, the inmates appearing on
the balconies or else coming out and evidently pre-
paring for the arrival of the cortege. After not more
than ten minutes the crowd and lights had increased
tenfold and the shouts more than in double that
proportion, for with every new arrival the confi-
dence in success was strengthened, the throats be-
came clearer, and the lungs expanded. About 9 p.m.
the signal for starting being given, the patrol of in-
fantry taking the lead and the cavalry closing the
rear, the crowd began to move. Wishing to have a
view of the procession, I hastened my step and
took up a position lower down in the main street,
where the cortege was to pass. The place was only a
few hundred yards lower down, but by the time
the procession passed the crowd had doubled. This
was effected in the simplest manner. As it ap-
proached, the people, who had come out of their
houses, lighted their candles or torches and fell in;
while the by-streets, now thoroughly awake, sent
their contingent. The grocers' shops on the passage
carried on a lively trade in wax and tallow, for
there were numbers who had not prepared their
lights, and had to content themselves with the
usual wax tapers which are burnt in the churches.
While the male portion of the population went
down to swell the crowd, the female portion ap-
proved the proceedings by coming out on the bal-
conies, bringing out lights, waving handkerchiefs,
and joining in the zetos. It was my first oppor-
tunity of witnessing the performances of the popu-
lar throat of Athens, and I must say it was very
creditable. Of course the occasion did not admit
of those mad bursts of enthusiasm which greeted
the liberators of Lombardy at Milan, or those
hysteric cries which Palermo raised at the depar-
ture of the last Neapolitan soldier, but I don't re-
member to have heard a more sustained and equal
energy in cheering. If the Greeks show the same
tenacity in political action which they evinced in
shouting it will augur well for a people which
cherishes such ambitious designs.
In order to avoid placing the British Minister
in an embarrassing position a tacit agreement ex-
isted not to bring the crowd before the Legation,
but was it to be expected that a crowd improvised
as it had been at this occasion was likely to ab-
stain from bringing, as it were, the demonstration
to a point P Yet tho first cross street which leads
to the Legation was passed, and the procession con-
tinued its way along the main street. It was only to
gather strength and enlist new recruits on its pas-
sage through the town. Half an hour afterwards
the crowd debouched from behind the Ministry of
Finance, which occupies one side of the square in
which the Legation lies. It had more than doubled
since I had seen it last, and formed a dense mass of
2,000 or 3,000 people of all classes which spread
all over the open space which divides the Legation
from the garden in the centre of the square.
Other carriages had joined, and officers on horse-
back. The sight, too, of the object of their pil-
grimage seemed to impart new energy to the crowd
—the pace quickened until it was nearly a rush, as
if the intention was to carry the Legation by storm.
The boldest pressed up the very steps of the build-
ing, while the others (zetoed) with an energy
which showed a determination not to go away so
soon, and without being heard and answered. In
the meantime, there seemed little disposition on the
part of the Legation to take any notice
of the pro-
ceedings. The Venetian blinds were hermetically
closed and but faint lights visible; but the crowd
was evidently not inclined to be put off so easily,
and continued to cheer energetically.
To come out on the balcony or not to come out
was really a question, but it could be so only for a
moment. It would have been not diplomatic re-
serve, but positive rudeness, to ignore and reject that
spontaneous ebullition of popular feeling which ma-
nifested itself unasked. Mr. Scarlett is too thorough
a gentleman to be guilty of such rudeness, and,
being conscious of not havin in
any way encou-
raged the demonstration, he was above any ill-
natured insinuations and gossip, which besides, were
sure to be made in any ease. Seeing, therefore, the
crowd in earnest, he had the doors opened and came
out on the balcony,
accompanied by several gentle-
men, who happened to spend the evening there.
His appearance was the signal for an outburst,
torches were raised, blue and red lights burnt, while
the crowd, shouting and vociferating, pointed to the
-picture representing Prince Alfred. The most elo-
quent harangue would have been less touching and
impressive than this instinctive childish way of the
crowd to bring home its wishes. But neither would
the crowd have been a Greek crowd had it been
content with the mere apparition of the British
Minister without hearing something from him ; so
soon the shouting was hushed, and nothing remained
but to address it. Fortunately, Mr. Bondouris, an
ex-deputy of the late Opposition, happened to be pre-
sent, and he undertook to tell the crowd that Mr.
Scarlett "thanked them for the sympathy they
showed for the nation he had the honour to represent."
After these few words the Minister retired and the
crowd began to move, as every one thought, home-
ward. But nothing was further from its intention.
The words which had been spoken contained no
answer to the demand which brought them there,
and they were resolved to hear something more, so
they went off to fetch one of the military bands, and
recruiting the strength of the cortege all the way,
returned half an hour afterwards more numerous
and better prepared than ever. After shouting
long enough to bring out again Mr. Scarlett, silence
was restored and the spokesman, an officer of
artillery, explained in a few words that they had
come there to express the desire of the people to
have Prince Alfred as future King of Greece. Mr.
Scarlett answered that " he was not authorised to
offer an opinion on the subject to which they
could find al-
luded, but that he could assure them that England
wished Greece all happiness and prosperity." Not

darkness, the distant shouts indicated that the thing

was still kept up.
As for the behaviour of the crowd, it was above
all praise. Athens must always an advantage
on have
on such occasions, as it has no mob, in our sense
of the word, and every Athenian, however poor, is
penetrated with the idea of hie own dignityas a

free citizen. Besides, in the present instance, the
great majority of the crowd consisted of the well-to-
do clasFes. Still it was a curious sight to see Greeks
who are individually,
perhaps the most quarrelsome
and " touchy" people on the face of the globe, ex-
hibit such harmony when assembled in a large body.
They were evidently too much absorbed by the idea
which brought them together to think or care much
for anything else ; even the sly insinuations against
the object of the demonstration which were dropped
here and there by persons to whose taste the demon-
stration was not fell to the ground almost without
being noticed. The Provisional Government did
all it could from the beginning to discourage demon-
strations. Weak as it is, it must actually be averse to
whatever could rouse popular emotions which it is
not sure of being able to control. The leaders of
the demonstration projected for Sunday were asked
to stop it ; but, as this was impossible even in that
case, it was much more so with the demonstrations
which was improvised the evening before. The
fears and apprehensions were ill founded, and the
military patrols served only to swell the crowd and
otherwise had_

Will there be another demonstration to-day was
probably the first thought which occurred to every
Athenian when he awoke on Sunday morning. Will
those who had projected and prepared the demon-
stration on that day allow themselves to be outdone,
or will they persist in this original project ? They
would not have been Greeks had they given up so
easily a pet idea which they had nourished so long.
Besides, the improvised demonstration had been
too successful, and the weather was too fine to think
of such a thing. All these were only circumstances
to make greater exertions and surpass those who
had deprived them of the honour of the initiative.
If it was impossible to repeat that unprepared po-
pular outburst of the evening before it was not diffi-
cult to give a more complete and regular character
to the proceedings. Popular impatience cared very
little about diplomatic etiquette and niceties; not
so the projectors of the demonstration on Sunday.
They were therefore busy in the morning to get
portraits of the three guaranteeing Sovereigns. Be-
sides, in a place rather given to early hours for men
and beasts, there could be no great display of car-
riages, while such a display was in the nature of
things on a fine Sunday afternoon. The same was
the case with horses and horsemen. Then great
nicety of costume could not be expected on a sudden
emergency like the demonstration on Saturday,
while on Sunday, in broad daylight, every one was
sure to wear his best clothes.

All this taken together gave to the demonstration
of Sunday an entirely new character. If you could
say so in this distressingly democratic country, it
was the aristocratic demonstration, while that of
the evening before was popular in the widest sense
of the word. The demonstration on Sunday being
fixed for the early part of the afternoon, before people
adjourn to the Cafe Hafts, on the Patissia road, it
could start only from the Bella Grecia, in the centre
of the town, and so it did between 2 and 3 p.m. A
party of officers on horseback led the way ; after it
came the carriage with the portrait, and behind it,
carried by gentlemen on foot, those of Queen Vic-
toria, of the Emperor Napoleon, and of the Emperor
Alexander. Then followed a string of carriages
with flags inscribed with devices ; the whole enve-
loped and intersected by a motley crowd, quite as
arge, if not larger, than the evening before. Al-
though it swelled on its way, having been large at
the start, the increase was not so striking as the
evening before, nor was there the uncertainty which
prevailed then, for, after a short turn about the
town, the popular mass appeared bofore the Lega-
tion, and, having induced Mr. Scarlett to come out
again, the speaker of the crowd addressed the Mi-
nister in a set speech, to which the answer was,—
" Athenians,—l am flattered by this manifestation you
show me in favour of Prince Alfred and the English nation.
" With regard to the choice of Prince Alfred I must main-
tain the reserve I have hitherto done. That point depends
upon higher considerations which I am unable now to de-
termine.

" Whatever happens, you may be sure of the deep inte-
rest England feels in Greece.
" I recommend you to calmness and moderation in your
proceedings, and to await the meeting of your Assembly."

This concluded, as it were, the official part of the
proceedings, and soon after the demonstration re-
sumed more and more the Baahi-Bazouk character
of the first. The portraits of the three Sovereigns,
together with that of the Prince, were put on the
top of one of the large omnibuses which run to the
Piraeus, and carried about the town among shouts
and cheers till evening. The crowd ebbed and
swelled according as it passed through the more or
less crowded parts of the town, and changed charac-
ter every moment. But, wherever it went and
however it was composed, it was equally well be-
haved amid all the excitement, so that the whole
thing was a complete success from beginning to end.
At the time that this was passing at Athens a
demonstration was taking place at the Pirraus.
While here it was addressed to the Legation, there
the Consulate became the point of attraction. Mr.
Neale, who knows Greek thoroughly, had to an-
swer, and he did so in a rather humorous speech,
which, however, was not more compromising or less
appropriate than Mr. Scarlett's words, and I have
no hesitation in saying that nothing could be more
gentlemanly and in better taste than the behaviour
of this latter in these trying and delicate circum-
stances.

NOVEMBER 29.

The Alfred fever is raging all over the country.
Not a day has passed since the beginning of the
week without bringing news of one or more pro-
vinces having been attacked by it. There is nothing
surprising in this, for the disease had been long
latent, and the efforts which were undoubtedly
made to check it contributed only to make it break
forth more violently. In most places it would have
come to a crisis immediately after the first demon-
stration at Syra, and it was only put off by the ex-
ertions of those who advised waiting for the move-
ments of the capital. Nevertheless, last Sunday
seems to have been the decisive moment almost
everywhere down to Cape Matapan and Cape Gallo.
One would be almost inclined to believe in a secret
sympathetic fluid which ran this time through the
provinces so antagonistic in most other cases, for on
Sunday the news of the demonstration at Athens
could scarcely have reached places to which there
is no telegraphic communication.

The first news arrived from the islands of Hydra
and Spezzia and Nauplia. These places had heard
of the doings at Athens and Lamia on Saturday,
the steamer which leaves for those places on Sun-
day morning having brought the news. At Hydra
and Spezzia, where the news arrived first, the de-
monstration was most complete, and I can give you
some details of the doings at the former place
from the accounts of an eye-witness. The place,
as most others in Greece, has its Montagues and
Capulets, who have their respective head-quarters
in the two "casinos" or clubs, which are situate
on the opposite sides of the piazza. At about
3 p.m.„—that is, just about the time the second
demonstration was taking place at Athens, the
partisans of the two rival factions repaired to
their respective head-quarters, while in the centre
of the piazza a group of men carried in trophy
Prince Alfred's likeness, cut from out the London

truth of the fact that garrotting is prevalent. The
cases in the police courts are evidence sufficient,

there are, on the other hand, many cases known of
privately which have not been published.

THE El\l7 HRONISATION OF 2HE ARCH-
BISHOP OF CANTERBURY:

The ceremony of enthroning the new Archbishop
and Primate of all England will take place on the
12th inst. The deanery will have its visitors, as
well as the various residences of the canons and
prebends attached to the Cathedral. The arrange-
ments, as far as we can learn, are under the care
of the dean, Dr. Alford, who has endeavoured to
give as large a number of visitors as possible a view
of the proceedings, For thiPi purpose seats will be
Placed
in the north transept, looking on to the
Archbishop's throne, the curtains of the gate of the
screen of the choir being drawn aside. The south
transept, where now stands the fine -old chef! of St.
Augustine, will be fitted with seatssoarranges
to give a clear space for the procession to pass ta
the chair. On the former occasion
thechair
throne was placed in front of the
r 8
altar, on the lower
flight of steps, but by the present arrangement and
courtesy of the dean, a great number will be
enabled to see the ceremony that takes place in this
portioti of the building. The procession will pass
along the nave, entering by the western end, two
and two, proceeding as far as the first flight of
steps below the Rood-screen, filing off right and
left as it advances—so as to line the nave—and as
the Archbishop proceeds towards the choir, again
falling into line and following in order. There
will be four inductions during the ceremony, viz—
into the dean's seat, the throne, the chair of St.
Augustine, and the Chapter-house.
The following programme of the ceremonial pro-
ceedings has been published :—The careagesnf all
persons having tickets for the choir, presbytery,
north transept, or organ gallery, will enter by the
Green Court, and set down at the north door of the
Cathedral, near Archdeacon Croft's house. They
will then drive round the court, and out by the
Mint-yard gates. The carriages of persons having
tickets for the south transept will enter by the
Christ Church-gate, and set down at the small south
door opposite Canon Robertson's house. All per-
sons are requested to observe the directions as to
entrance printed on their tickets. The time of
entrance will be from 10 to 11. At eleven, or as
soon after as possible, the doors of the Cathedral
and precincts will be closed.
The members of the Cathedral body will assemble
in the cloisters at eleven precisely, entering through
the Dark Entry. They will there form a proces-
sion in the following order :—Schoolm asters, King's
scholars, grammar master of choristers, choristers,
lay clerks, minor canons, auditor, and surveyor. At
the same hour of eleven, the dean and canons, and
six preachers, will meet in the audit room, where
will be produced a mandate for the enthronisation
of the archbishop. The mandate will be read, on
which the Archdeacon of Canterbury, or his deputy,
will decree to proceed forthwith.
The archbishop and attendant bishops will then
be conducted from the deanery by the dean and
canons, and six preachers, to the cloisters, where
they will join on to the procession, the six preachers
preceding the canons, the attendant bishops follow-
ing them, the archdeacon, or his deputy, going im-
mediately before the archbishop, and the dean and
vice-dean, and the archbishop's chaplains and
officers, attending his grace, the dean and vice-
dean being respectively on his right and left
hand.

The clergy having, according to the directions
printed on their tickets, assembled in the Chapter-
house, will then head the procession, two and
two, the first pair advancing through the west
door of the church, up the nave and the steps,
to the choir doors, where they will file of to the
right and left, each pair doing the same succes-
sively, and forming a lane down the nave. The
same will be done by the others in the proces-
sion, allowing the archbishop to pass up the
middle. The archbishop and attendant bishops
will then be conducted by the archdeacon or his
deputy, the dean and vice-dean, to the space
within the altar rails, where chairs will be set
for them. The whole procession will have fol-
lowed in reverse order, each person following in
from the left and right in turn. All persons will
take their places as they enter the choir ; the
clergy passing on to the altar steps, which will
be seated for them. As soon as the choristers
reach the west door of the church they will be-
gin chanting the 101st and 102 d psalms, and
continue repeating them, if necessary, till they
enter the choir. The Hallelujah Chorus will then
be sung.
When all have taken their places the dean, vice-
dean, and archdeacon, or his deputy, will proceed
to the stalls, and the service will begin. At the end
of the first lesson the archdeacon, or his deputy,
will go down from his stall and conduct the arch-
bishop, attended by the dean and vice-dean, to the
throne, in which he will cause him to sit, when the
vicar-general will present to the archdeacon,-or his
deputy, the mandate of enthronisation, and request
him to proceed.
The mandate is then read by the auditor, after
which the archdeacon, or his deputy, reads the form
of induction.

The archbishop remaining in his throne, and the
dean, vice-dean, and archdeacon, or his deputy,
having returned to their stalls, the service will pro-
ceed with the Benedicite, to the conclusion of the
Morning Service. The archdeacon, or his deputy,
will then precede the archbishop, attended by the
dean and vice-dean, to the marble chair ; where
the archbishop being seated, the archdeacon, or his
deputy, will repeat the same order to the dean's
stall, in which the
.stchbishop will be formally
seated.

The archbishop will remain in the dean's stall,
and the archdeacon and his deputy, returning to his
stall, the " Te Deum" will be sung.
That done,
the dean will read the suffrages, the
choir chanting the answers; and after the suffrages
he will read a prayer.
The archbishop will then pronounce the blessing
from the dean's stall.
The service ended, the choristers, lay clerks,
minor canons, King's scholars, schoolmasters, six
preachers, auditor, &c., will leave the choir by the
north aisle and Mart) rdom to the Chapter house.
The archdeacon, or his deputy-,will proceed to the
dean's stall, and conduct the archbishop, attended
by the dean and vice-dean, the procession going
before him, into the Chapter-house, where he will
place him in the chief seat.

The archdeacon, or his deputy, will then ad-
minister the oath.
_.

Then the archdeacon will promise canonical obedi-
ence to his grace.
Then the dean, the canons, the six preachers, the
schoolmasters, the auditor, minor canons, the gram-
mar master of choristers, the surveyor, the organist,
and lay clerks, will, in like manner; romise canoni-
cal obedience.
An act of the proceedings will then be produced
and signed, in the presence of, and attested by, a
and the assembly
notary public, will be dismissed
by the dean.
