have to return the HERiID my very sn.ere thanks
for the prompt attention It kind enough TO bestov,
for the sake of humao,.y the OF the unfortu
nate Americans murdered at TambAingA some months
Snce.
In the absence OF any out official information
ing to he Il is not very clear as to Who was
to blame in the affair; 1t to me, no xever that
when the party had taken out their passports ,reo
they were tally entitled free and unmolested passage
down the river, and that the Governor of Tambainga
ought have adoped smother than that Of ssnd
ing armed boat tn ints cep the progress OF the cit
Of friendly Power. Ninetynne men on. Of hun.
dred met With by armed party of men, either

to protect their persons and property. do
think that the authorities at Tambstnga, under these
circumstances, had any right Whatever to send party
soldiers after hose men, and 81 the frat sight OF their
boat give intimaticn Of their intention to kill them ALL
How much moro prudent and consistent with coa,m, N
usage would II have been TO endeavor first to arrest
and after wards il found guilty, give them nstu-
raj punishment
Another question Ar to whether the Gov ,rnor OF
rsmberga had any right to the powers o. his
thoiity to .uch length, fer crime alleged By verbal
information, to have mmited in the territory of
foreign government.
