Your kinsman!' cried Peter Wissant.
.Ah! exclaimed Sir Walter Mauny,
bursting into tears, why was not a
citizen of Calais?'"
The sixth victim was still wanting,
but was quickly supplied by lot, from
numbers who were now emulous Of 30
ennobling an example.
The keys OF the city were then de-
liyered to Sir Walter. He took the
six prisoners into his custody. He
ordered the gates, to be opened, and
gave charge to his attendants to con-
i duct the remaining citizens. with their
families, through the camp Of the
English.
Before they departed. however, they
desired permission to take their last
adieu Of their deliverers. What q
partingI what a scene! They crowded
with their wives and children about
St Pierre and his fellow-prisoners
They embraced, they clung around,
they fell PROSTATE before them. They
groaned; they wept aloud; and the
| joint clamor Of their mournings passed
the gates Of the city. and was heard
Throughout the camp.
AT length st. Pierre and his fellow
victims appeared, under the conduct
Of Sir Walter and his guard. All the
tents of the English were instantly
emptied. The soldiers poured from
all parts, and arranged themselves on
each side to behold. to contemplate,
to admire, this. little band OF patriots
as they passed. They murmured their
applause Of that virtue which they
could not but revere even In their
enemies; and they regarded those
ropes, which they had voluntarily
assumed about their necks, as ensigns
of greater dignity than that Of the
British garter. y ~
