than TO give support to the cvi authorizes o. Una,
,lcment.-one Of whose Magistrates, Francis Rice
ESQ has been grossly insultcd, threatened with per
sona violence and obsruc;ed in the discharge OF his
dpes by persons protesting themselves to be citizens
of the State OF Name, and another, James McLaugh.

arrested and sent Augusta, IN the event OF his per-
seyerinp in the performance of the duties imposed up

tended to do the like The latter upon grounds which,
if no, less substantial, certainly afford reasonable
pretencc that any military force necessary, much
less force in addition TO the two hundred troops al

agree, and trus, that your Exce!lency's suggestion
to the Gov. General touching lis withdrawal will not
be without effect.
In relation to the facts alleged, am unable to say
whether your Excellency has been msnfomed or not,

that you but do justice, in refusing to believe that
