General order issued by The Adiutant General
from Head Quarters, AT Geors that the
guiit OF the accused WAS fully established

was taken by the government, and the night
Tor which the apprehension existed passed off
IN unusual tranquility. The most satisfacto-
ny accounts had been received from different
parts of the colony, of the tranquility of the

s'onary abors are extremely anxious to hear
some authentic particulars of the causes of
