house Of some of his neighboTs but not one OF them
would receive him and be set out for the abode OF tne
Fmir. On bis way thither he was met by party OF
rebels who fred upon him, to whom he threw. hauds-
ul Of money to divert their attention from bis person
while he turned aside into the street leadog to BAD
Tuna 81 the extremity of which was guard OF regu-

of rebels who fired upon him, and to whom as before
he threw money, and took third road. While pro-
ding his way he suddenly came upon party OF

Government, aud six of them arrested. ) me OF them

sIrategem and threw down money, by which meaus
he then escaped without injury, although he was twice
fired at from a distance Of about three yards oil But
snbse queLtly he was wou5d'd By Ratchet on the
head by club over the eye by saber the right

the body.
When the English Consul requested guard to pro-
ect the house, he told that it had been done,
no guard had been sent.
