The government house, at which he resides, is about two miles from town.

The road leading to it is a delightful one, lined with cane fields, and pasture grounds, all verdant with the luxuriance of midsummer.

It passes by the cathedral, the king's house, the noble residence of the Archdeacon, and many other fine mansions.

The government house is situated in a pleasant eminence, and surrounded with a large garden, park, and entrance yard.

At the large outer gate, which gives admittance to the avenue leading to the house, stood a _black_ sentinel in his military dress, and with a gun on his shoulder, pacing to and fro.
