would arrive there in season to take measures
for their apprehension. Mr. Raymond arrived
in Liverpool few hours after the packet ship

the Hague and make known all the information
of which she was possessed. No such lenity
was shown to Ruumage: his liberty was restrain

ported to Holland, to be dealt with, with no ordina-
