Poor Dibard, the captain of the Cultivateur, was one of the first victims. Almost all the French who resided at Manilla were slain, and their houses pillaged and destroyed. The carnage only ceased when there were no longer any victims. One eye-witness escaped this butchery, namely, M. Gautrin, a captain of the merchant service, who, at the moment I am writing, happens to be residing in Paris.
For three weeks I lived with the Indian family without receiving any news from Manilla, when one morning, a letter came from the first mate who, on the death of the unfortunate Dibard, had taken the command of the Cultivateur telling me he was about to sail, and that I must go on board at once if I wished to leave a country which had been so fatal to all of us.
