Upon tide convention being presented to the Governor &Chi.
awl Rcidti,o, we learn that under pretext that the third article
did not afford the troops of the get-rison that just satisfaction to
in his opinion they ate entitled, and on the ground of
avoiding the disagreetible circutostanees which might arise front
'the intercourse or the respective, troops, he wrote on the 7th to
I )or: Claim O'Donnell, proposing to substitute for the addition
to the third ratiele, that his Excellency would raise his camp,
owl retire, to the ilistante of at least day's march from the
tiotteos. The Captain-General replied on the tonne day, " that
he maid ant, and ought .not to accede to the proposition of
rikarvioning the ground on which he had arrived, when his force
ill infantry was much inferior tethaf of the garrison ; that being
• luadruply reinfortied, be was not in a eittlatiot to tio that
• vrt,;eit heliefore tool not thought fit to .submit, and. which
would tic throwlng discredit on the aims of the King whom he
11Ad the 'honour to serve." With regard, to the apprehensiens
which the Governor entertained of unpleasant circumstances
'amain; from the intercourse of the troops, the Captain-Gene-
ral'rephed, " that he had no such fear on account of his sol-
diers, who were accustomed to subordination, and knew that
they could not with impunity disobey any particular orders
winch he might give them."
