 The Liberatng General, taking into consideration the unavoidable ealanii- ties which would be brought upon.the country.by an assault upon the capital. and that it would inevitably have to -ur- render, determined to march against the Minotaur. vho was coming to rein- force the garrison ofthe capital, in order to defeat him before his approach to the city, and also 10 induce the garrison to come out and sustain him, (Bustain ente.)

He failed and ieil victim to the iaws---lle was execn. ted as traitor, in sight of fhe armies which ne had so oflen led to victor, and glory.
