It is also being said by everyone here that in a few days time a man will be here who is to come at the orders of the Turk with the title of Viceroy to govern this place, to stay here, and all the others who are here now are to be under his orders. They call him the Cadi. I declare, Sir, they may all go to the devil, however many of them there may be.
