Say down TO the 27h of March. The fret article tina,
struck US on opening Of the papers was an adver
tsement by Gen Kesrney offering certain lands for sale
a, public suction and this reminded of the oen-tod

thereof on bis worshipius him-the Derii AinstV not
os,aias ono acre Of pe land so literally Prcf1td.

be respected even though country changes its form Of
government or even is transferred 10 new and for
elm authority Or have We. 4" the most enlightened
nation under the sun gone back to days OF an Anticipated
bArbarsmg For this and for other acts OF this stro
cious war there will be day of retributop.
