on to the ground upon a charger (hired), in the character of a warrior, with a solemnity of countenance befitting the scene and his country, and accompanied by Jones (also mounted), but in the costume of an ordinary individual of the period. Brown preferred going on foot. That is Robinson in the centre. Just at the time when he ought to be riding up the line, inspecting the troops with the Grand Duke and his staff—his horse (a “disgusting brute,” as Robinson afterwards described him, “who could not have been in the habit of carrying gentlemen”) suddenly stood on his hind legs, in the very middle of the field, so that his rider was forced to cling on to him in an absurd manner, in full view of the army, the people, and the court.

R. at that moment earnestly desired that the earth might open and swallow him.

BADEN.

A SCENE AT BADEN.

THE RIGHT OF SEARCH.

I.

JONES’S DOG HAVING COME UPON A SENTINEL, AND STRUCK, PERHAPS, BY HIS SMALL SIZE COMPARED WITH THE SENTINELS HE IS USED TO, COMMENCES TO SAY, “BOW!—WOW!—WOW!—WEW—U—U!”

THE SOLDIER, OFFENDED BY THESE REMARKS, PRESENTS FOR THE ANIMAL’S CONSIDERATION, THE POINT OF HIS BAYONET.

II. JONES EXPOSTULATES, WITH THAT FREEDOM OF SPEECH WHICH IS THE BIRTHRIGHT OF EVERY ENGLISHMAN.	III. BUT OBTAINING NO SATISFACTION, CALLS ON THE MISERABLE FOREIGNER TO “COME ON.”

IV. FIRST (AND LAST) ROUND. —THE SOLDIER DID “COME ON,” FROWNING. JONES RECEIVED HIM, SMILING. —THE SOLDIER MADE PLAY WITH HIS MUSKET: JONES PUT IN HIS LEFT. THEY CLOSED, AND A TERRIFIC STRUGGLE ENSUED, IN THE COURSE OF WHICH JONES GOT HIS ADVERSARY’S “NOB” INTO “CHANCERY.”	V. THE SOLDIER, AT THIS POINT, UNABLE TO USE HIS ARMS, TOOK TO HIS LEGS, AND ADMINISTERED A SERIES OF KICKS UPON THE SHINS OF JONES, WHO IN RETURN SEIZED HIM, LIFTED HIM IN THE AIR, AND THREW HIM.

VI. THEN, CONSIDERING THAT JUSTICE AND THE HONOUR OF HIS COUNTRY WERE ALIKE SATISFIED, HE RETIRED, LEAVING THE BODY OF HIS ANTAGONIST ON THE FIELD.	VII. SHOWS THE “BODY,” ON DISCOVERING THAT LIFE WAS NOT EXTINCT, ATTEMPTING TO RISE. P.S. —HE WAS LAST SEEN MAKING FRANTIC EFFORTS TO REGAIN HIS FEET, AND SEEMINGLY PREVENTED FROM DOING SO BY THE WEIGHT OF HIS KNAPSACK, AND OTHER ACCOUTREMENTS.

VIII.

JONES WAS LATE AT BREAKFAST; HE FOUND ROBINSON READING “GALIGNANI,” AND BROWN LOOKING OUT OF WINDOW, AND AFTER GIVING THEM AN AMUSING ACCOUNT OF THE FUN HE HAD HAD, WAS JUST SITTING DOWN TO THE TABLE, WHEN BROWN SHOUTED OUT, “BY JOVE, THERE IS A REGIMENT OF SOLDIERS COMING DOWN THE STREET!”

IX.

AT FIRST JONES WAS INCREDULOUS; BUT PRESENTLY BROWN, HIS HAIR STANDING ON END, RUSHED TOWARDS HIM, AND IN A VOICE OF AGONY, CRIED, “AS SURE AS WE ARE ALIVE THEY HAVE STOPPED IN FRONT OF THE HOUSE, AND THE OFFICER IS COMING IN!”

X.

IT WAS TOO TRUE. THE SOLDIERS HAD COME TO LOOK AFTER THE ENGLISHMAN WHO HAD ATTACKED AND BEATEN THEIR COMRADE.

XI.

AFTER A FEW MOMENTS OF BREATHLESS SUSPENSE, THE OFFICER ENTERS—JONES STANDS LIKE A MAN ABOUT TO STRUGGLE WITH ADVERSITY.

XII.

NEVERTHELESS HE IS ARRESTED AND MARCHED OFF.

XIII.

ROBINSON, IN AGONY, CALLS FOR HIS COAT AND HAT, “FOR,” AS HE CRIED OUT TO BROWN, “NOT A MOMENT IS TO BE LOST IN ENDEAVOURING TO SEE THE BRITISH MINISTER.”
