Zemaun Shaw is in Ihe prime of life , of a bold and enterprizing genius , of uncommon abilities as a soldier and a statesman ; he is cruel and sanguinary in the extreme . He is attended by a Frenchman , who some years since was sent by the Convention as Ambassador to Constantinople . His army consists of about 100 , 000 fighting men .
