| Abstract: | [Excerpt] In the United Service Journal for the month of March, 1836, and under the head of "Recollections of the British Army in the early campaign of the Revolutionary War," page 322, it is stated by the writer, that-" The Maltese having established an intercourse with the inhabitants of Citta Vecchia, a party of these peasants scaled the walls in the night, penetrated without alarm to the barrack, and there murdered in cold blood the whole party, consisting of two officers, two sergeants, and sixty men ; and after this, to them, glorious exploit, they practised atrocities on the dead bodies that cannot be with decency related.'' This is entirely false. |
