the most spontaneous and patriotic devotion
ever exhibited in any country or by any
people. To be- released from The pressure
ofthis dcspolism, a number of European
Ftenchmen, who had distinguished them

the French Consul for protection, which
having been granted them in consequence
of an arrangement 10 that effect made al
