landed TO protect the hospital, and body

Consulate.

shows TINT many houses which yesterday
were intact are today in aslies.-Among
them the British Consulate.
Eye witnesses relate that soldiers and
others. after plunderiug houses, heaped up
bedding saturated with petroleum, and
then set the pile on fire. 10
To-day there were no fresh fires. but
ruins arc tumbling and encumbering the

spective ships OF war, act as police in diff.
ferent districts, while the British occupy
the forts and bastions, and are stationed at
the gates. French and Italians have thus
far refused to land.

observations Of each shot, and state that the
result establishes the fact that ina quie, sea
