notice, received at Leetakoo information somewhat 
differing from the above. The catastrophe, he was

They were at first well received ; but that treach-

ornament. The difference of place and circum-

through which the reports passed ; and no doubt 
can unhappily remain of the deplorable issue which 
attended this expedition. 
In the years 1808-6, Dr Henry Lichtenstein vi-
