exalted and misguided men who have found safe
and hosptable asylum in England, should abuse
The hospitality granted to them, and take upon
themselves the right of avenging their political
saua bibles by pistols or swords The unfortunate
deceased was an intimate friend from the Republic
of Ledru Rolln; au honor also claimed by two of
the partisans now in custody, Etienne Barronnett
and Edmund Allan. The two other parties in
uel Bartholemy, claim to be friends of Louis
Blanc. We do not know if these two repuLl ican
chiefs are not the friends Of the unfortunate
men who infringed the laws of the country that
found them shelter" rl i.s.llissN li .lis
