Undoubtedly some evil disposed people did try to stir up the populace north of our boundary, but this was done by them when under the impression that British troops would invade their territory: this fear no longer exists & consequently the attempt has failed. The rioters will have to be settled with somehow & the ringleaders will be taught a salutary lesson not to be again "hoist with their own petard."
I see that Mr. Schaub states that the missionaries expect help from the British Govt whenever they may be in real danger: I had not heard that such a promise had been made & should be glad to be furnished with instructions in case Mr. Schaub would write to me.
Perhaps some measures might be taken to suppress the inflammatory zeal of the Graduate.
