OF their colleagues, are Sauvaile, the In

of his arrest is not known. Sauvalle is
charged by Galvez with treachery to the
Junta, and with having altered and
falsifed the communications of Vice
Admiral Yelverton to the Junta. It
seems that in tho beginning of the affair
with the British commander, Sauyalle
was named by the Jnn!a to carry on the
negotiations on their behalf
