"The feat of the present disturbances answers now as a rendezvous for European adventures--therefore, the monarch will be never at a loss for white chieftains of some denomination. They have lately unshed in a new Principal at the head of their renowned tribe of horse, by birth an Irishman--a substitute for one Thompson, an Englishman, who once headed this detachment, and we believe not undeservedly the the favorite of the rising genius, except in the case of being suspected of an atrocious crime, that of adultery with one of their squws of the first consequence, which reduced him to the necessity of decamping and leaving his property, or else lose his life. The present is a man further advanced in years, has been much longer in the country and of good military talents. Different accounts confirm him a perfect tyrant, unwed by compassion, continually embruing his hands in the blood of the innocent, for the ill-gotten plunder."
