Gently beeh revived under State patronage

originally endowed; and become enabled
to view matters in the light Of sobernesl
and truth. @ z7'
His arrest created intense excitement
and deep indignation with his sympathiser:
in the city, who threatened summary ven

revolvers. This evening they seem quite
resigned snd tranquil = p i a -

breasts or halters around their necks.-
They abuse all confidence and subver

accomplishment TO the basest designs.
