MASSACRE AT JAP;.•.I, Bi." iI9Y.II3.IRTE.

Much has been said and written respecting this
trausaction, and while some admit, in the fullest
reasiud, the assertioes of Sir Robert Wilson, others
contend that these assertions have no valid founda-
tion. Vie subject, cs it effect§ no ordinary charac-
ter, deserves every consideratiou ; arid we are happy
in an opportunity of la.)isig before our Readers the
following, ate we conceive, satisfactory explanation,
from ese Feeend par, ef Dr. Clarke's 'Tr-steels, just
psi dished :
" Jeffa," saes he, " appeared to be almost in as
forlorn a state as Rana ; the air itself was still in-
fected with rSe smell of unbuiied bodies. We went
to 'les house of tie English Consul, whose grey hairs
had to exempted Islet from French extortion. fie
had juts Teetered to hoist again the British flag upon
the roof his dwelling ; and he told us, with tears in
his eyes, that it was the only proof of welcome he
tesuld offer to us, as the French Officers, under Bo-
naperte, had stripverl him of every thing he pos-
sesses!. however, in the midst of all his complaints
against the french, not a single syllable ever es-
caped his lips respecting the enormities supposed to
be committed by means of Bonaparte's orders or
connivanc...., in the town and neighbourhood of Jaffa.
As there are so really living witnesses to attest the
truth of this representation, and the character of no
erlinary individual is soenuch implicated in its re-
sult, the utmost attention will be here paid to every I
particular likely to illustrate the fact; and for this
especial reason, because that individual is our enein,y.
At the time WP wets in Jolla, so soon after the sup-
posed transactions are said to have occurred, the in-
dignation of our Consul, and of the inhabitants in
general, against the French, were of so deep a ne-
tore, that there is nothing they would not have said,
to vilify Bonaparte or Iris Officeis ; but this accusa-
tion they never even hinted. Nur is this all ; upon
the evening of our arrival at Jaffa, walki4 with
Captain Culveihouse along the shere to the south of
the toms, iti order to join some of our party v.:ie
were gone in search of plants and shells, a powerful
and most offensive sme:l, as from dead odies, which
we had before experienced more than once, in ap-
proaching the town, caused us to hesitate whether
we should proceed or return. At this moment the
author observed the resietios of bodies in the sand, and
Captain Culverhouse tieing in doubt whether they
belonged to human !ladies or those of cattle, removed
a part of the sand with his sword, and uncovered
part of a hand. and arm. Upon this, calling to our
friends, we told them e hat we had diseavered ; and
returning to the Consul's house, asked him the canoe
of the revolting spectacle we had witnessed. He
told us that these were the remains of bodies carried
thither durilig.the late plague, for isitertuent, but
that this sea, frequently removing the sand which co-
vered these, caused them to be thus exposed ; and
he cautioned us in future against walking that way,
re 4 the infeution might possibly be retained., not only
I.y tl‘ose bodies, but by the clothes and'other things
there deposited."

The point of etiquette, howeier, is, to put on:the

in that way round. the room for some time. The.

confusion. The King (Geostoe perceiving it,
went up to Lard i(4,lsAtx, Mid, with great good hu-
mour, observed to hi*, that he cettainly had a right
