Emperor Lay has given rise the serious sus

made Tor him, but the application unheeded-and

would be heard OF all in good time 1t seems positive
fact that he has been shipped for Cayenne together with
~ and Madame Aubn OF the Passage Choscul who were
taken from their home the evening of Monday week
and have not been heard OF since Imagine not these
things TO be exaggeraon. They and known to
all the Foreigners alone would hesitate 20 b.I;svc
them.
