The principal sufferers (amongst foreigners) through the blockade of Manlia are British subjects, and next In importance come the Germans, to whom the blockade is believed to be exceedingly distaste- fl.

On Monday and Tuesday, the 2nd and 3rd Instant, the Banks were closed and so were all the basiness houses throughout the city, the bombardment being expected to com- mence at any moment.

It is, of course, not surprising that during a crisis such ss we are pisilag through the Banks should decline to accept deposits of treasure of any kind. They have probably already me than they came to hold, and it is well known that no special protection will be afforded them when the climax comes and the town le given up to pillage and bloodshed.
