dergoing severalsevere Courses of saliratiOn, and twice dis-
charged front the Hospital with little irelief, wetlld appear to

and coniequentl3t not to :goVern tint country but
according .to the compkis ; to impose no VeVe

harshest militavy executions; and by unheard of
corporeal punishments and fines,•• by which the
