The NEsToRIANs-The massacre OF a great
number Of the HISTORIANS, as reported by former
arrival, is unhapply confirmed. This interesting
people, who have attery been VISITED and instruct.

to have retained the religion of the Bible in
great degree of purity, although surrounded by
Mahometan tribes. Some particulars of this mas
sacre will be found in the following:
