my point, when an entittiary from- the Greek ,, Corsril
arrived, demanding tbefjrelease of 'aeferarkthei of
the prisoners, Thishadtmarly,thwartecl all my hoPes
and rendered my exertions fruitiest. ; There was, no
.doubt as to the guilt of )host of the prisoneri,: l and
was plain; therefore, thit'they ought not' to; be ro
leased ; arid how,the could, consistent with ire
dignity v not to' say the il i claiips of justice, free one
prisoner at the request tif a private-individual, and
refitse to release otherl at the . .solleitoti?n • of the
Greek Consul, was, to 14 the leak., a yexatious' and
deileotetpiestiont - IC wits evident .that unless- sonic/
compromise could be efiteted, my s eause.was ruinrad.7
At this• point all spectamm 'were escluded," and :the
eaejlis wentinto secret 4ssion: We ceased' snakipg.
loud speeches, and the 4seisssion-was carried - on ' in
whispers; I soon petteiired that the firmness With
which the dragonian andimyeelrield our position;
had procured for us a decided adalantage, .." We
honor you," add the tnerhhers of the. mejlis 'to me,
" bdcause yeu are a moralist peace and *uprightness,
and if we could, we would be Filling to release this
11
man, for yoursake, evert though , h e were guilty."
