translation, we have understood its meaning.
R" On our arrival at the place called Aire el

gents, not originally from this place, but from
Balbee, and from the part inhabited by Mutewoaouns:
who had come since the insurrection of this m
tain, which has since submitted ; they, therefore,
knowing themselves guilty, and feeling
of punishment., in order to stir up the inhabitants,
let fire to the different villages, saying, Why
have you submitted and have given up your arms?'
`We therefore choose to serve you in this manner, and
' to which One Christians of the mountains can attest and
affirm.' The above-mentioned insurgents being at a
Place called Mulay, opposite the camp, some Albanians
.were sent against them, r.nd drove them away after a
"Iglu. when, on pursuing them, the aforesaid insurgents,
itileinntalog to their promise, burnt the villages which
ofeY met with in their flight, and so gained the heights
