THE CHARGE.
Great military autocrat as he is, he gave his
commands, and expected that they would be
obeyed.
The prospects Of a night in..prison were good

hope that in his new enterprise he will meet with
that success to which he is entitled by his talents
his industry, and his attention to business. We
wish him every prosperity.
