81 Yesterday attended the funeral OF the English
Consul General, who was shot on his way from
Callao TO Lima, by Patriot sentinel. He was pas
sing by The guard in the night, IN his carriage,
attended by his daughler-he was hailed ny the
sentinel and Immediately got out oil his carriage.
and Jumped upon his servants horse. The dress
oil the Consul so much resembles that oil Spanish
General, that the sentinel, without waiting for HIM
10 speak, Immediately shot him. The ball passed
through his horses neck, through his arm. and
then through his body-he survived three days
1t is evident that the mistake was mutual between
the Consul General and the sentinel. From hi,
quitting his carriage and jumping on his servant 5
horse, without answering the challenge it IS plain
he was not aware OF lis being a regular mlliiar,
post, and therefore conceiving probably that the
challenge came from bahditti, was thus preparing to
protect his daughter.-Ths, and his dress naturally
enough might awaken the suspicious OF the senti
mel, and hence the issue SO much to be be lamened.

Of habits which have nsidiously crept into The ser
