Casserta protested against the theft of
what he called his prsnsH. Conducted
into the presencesef the Dey, he haugh.

Naples. He was answered that every
thing would be restored to him, both
money and freedom, ifhe should be sue.

and that he aad his associates were, as
tthey asserted his faithful subjects of the
king OF the two Sicilies. ~ EoY. Cour.
