From the 10:h to the 211th inst. we were in continual
alarm : on the latter day the troops of the garrison recog-
nised the Constitution by oath. The tilst was the day
s;ipointed by our authorities for the publication of the
Constitution. We were in the mean time agreeably sur-
prist.d at seeing arrive In the tov.ti a newly appointed
Governor, with troops eStreused fur the excellence of
their discipline, and well known by their having been a
long time previously stationed in our garrison.

We have had three days of continued rejoicings, with
illuminations every evening. To remove every fear from
the minds of the people,tieneral Ferras would not allow
any soldiers to appear in the streets. We know not
which to admire most, the confidence of the General, or
the good conduct of the people.—There remain about
70 persons in the hospital. The number at first
amounted to 514).
