The sensation it produced hardly survived TWEEN yfou
hours The general conclusion arrived at appears TO bt
that the disclosures they make are not very important
and little jury if any, is likely to ensu2 10 the Con

On TWO points, with refer to the matter there IS
one unanimous sentiment. First Eha, DR. Benz amin :

were author zed by him Or not Second. That the In

could it happen II is the general custom to take pre-
cautions to prevent The enemy from getting important
papers a. t'ansits< upon he seassuch precautions,
indeed, certain. How, then, were they SEIZED
How was it that the simple means u u2ily employed
were not resorted to to prevent this? This 10 MATER
