anying the Abyssinian expedition writes follows
ON Antao: q asked yesterday one of our inter-
refers, gentleman who resided for a considerable

IL He said, first they disbeeve that you are
ona fde Christians; they saw You certainly pre-
End to be SO, but you never conc to churches
2pt to look at them then, you do not kneel down or
ISIS the ground. You drink coffee, you eat the I'M s
can hare and even the pig How they discovered [
lis last item don't know, as | have seen no tame
vine to eat in Abyssina. The same gentleman told t
lie that there two bonds of sympathy connecting
lie Inhabitants with us-doars and hatred to Tbeo- t
ore and that it to the last he attributed the fact
our transport being so little plundered When The
dore is conquered he considered our small parties
us look out the wealth they carry with them may
len be an Irresistible temptation to the Abyssinans.
