1 Sir George Rumbold's house, near Altona, was surrounded by a company of eighty soldiers (part of a detachment of 250) at one o'clock in the morning; the doors were forced open, and his person and papers seized. On the instant, he was hurried into a carriage, taken to the banks of the Elbe, and thence conveyed to Harbourg, and to Hanover, and subsequently by land, escorted by a squadron of dragoons, to Paris, where, immediately on his arrival, he was lodged in the Temple. The British government appealed in strong terms to the corps diplomatique against this outrage, and the different sovereigns of Europe were invoked to resent it. However, after an examination of his papers (in which nothing was found to implicate him in a supposed conspiracy), and an imprisonment of three days, he was released, and removed, still strongly guarded, first to Boulogne, and then to Cherbourg. At this latter place he was embarked for England in a fishing-smack, which, meeting in the channel the British frigate Niobe, she received him on board, and landed him at Portsmouth. This affair produced a great sensation at every court.
