Clolownin, startled at this intimation, asked how long it might require. and was answered about a fortnight. lie does' said he must commit with his officers on boars( the ship, but that none of his people could be left a. hostages. The Goseritor now suddenly altered hin tone— spoke loud sod with warmth—n►eutionrd the mimes of liesaieoff and Chwootoff, and struck several times on hie sabre. Golownin inquired what he had been saying. "He says," replied she ter rified A kiwi. " that if he lets a single one of us oat of the castle his own buweln will be ropt up." On this the Russians Itpratig forward, and ran fur it. The Japanese did not venture to close upon then►, but set up a loud cry, threw billets of wood after them, and ported them to the •beach. Here the Russians perceived with horror that the title had ebbed, and left their boat dry on the strand. The Japanese seeing this. and that the :iiissiaris were unarmed, became more confident, mid ourronsided them. " I cast a look upon the boat," say. Goias.. " and said to myself, our list refuge Is lost ; our fate is unavoidable—and I surrendered." They were now conveyed back to the castle. thrown on their knees. and hound with thick cords; lest these should not be sofficieut, smaller woes were srlded and drawn painfully tight. so that their elbows nearly touched, and their hoods were firmly boom, together. Their legs were also tied together above the knee. and above the MI kir. ; froth the fastenings behind proceeded the raid of a curd, by which, on the slightest attempt to escape, the elbows could he drawn in con•act, suit the noose about the neck tightened to such a degree as to produce strangulation. The rope's rod pro ceeding from the neck was then thrown over a beam used drawn so tight that it was impossible for skein to move. In this position their buckets were searched, and every thing taken out or them ; after which the Japan e s e sat down coolly to smoke their pipes. The Lieutenant-Governor, however, very loudly pointed to his mouth, "to intimate, per haps (says Golosenin), that it was intended 40 feed, not to slaughter UP." They remained on hour iu this state of susprissims both of body and • I,' out knowing whether it might not be the good plea sure of the Japanese to hang them outright v * a reislirgnu for ellerostistrs conduct ; but they de river), the Captain Chr4sTars4 'Ape CIPP•q• !lotion irons faurying that if such was to be their fate, the execution would take place on the beads in sight of their caugheruett on hoard the Musa, " which would augment the desire of vengeance, and bring down the wrath of Alexander un the heads of the whole Japanese nation !" At length they were lOosened from the beam ; and with all the fastenings kept tight, except those of the legs. were led out of the castle and through a wood. each having a conductor holding the end of the cord, acid an armed soldier by Isis side. " On ascending a MI1," says Golowoin, " we sew our ship under sail. This sight lacerated my heart.

These sounds served to add to their misery, as, if any accident should befal her, their fate would remain unknown in Russia. In the midst of these melancholy boding... their bodily sufferings were so far forgotten that they were ouly recalled to a sense of them by Golownin being actually choked with the tightness of the cord about his neck ; his face war swollen and discolour ed ; he was nearly blind, and could scarcely utter a word. lie made signs to the conductors; but the cannonade had so frightened them that they only urged on their prisoners the faster, looking coritinually behind them, towards the quarter whence the noise proceeded. At length Golownin fell senseless to the -ground, and on recovering found the Japanese sprinkling him with water, and the blood gushing from his mouth and nose ; on slackening the cords lie recovered. In the evening they arrived at a small village. sod being carried into an empty ambulant, were 411lereek - mieue baited ricer they were then stretched on the floor, sod the ropes, by which they bad been led, attached to iron hooks drivers into the wall. Their cooductors then sat down to regale themselves with tea and tobacco. Ira this situation they remained all night. The seameu now began to reproach the Captain for waist of prudence, but were reprimanded by Moor and Chlebnikoff, who did all iu their power to console their unfortunate commautter, whose bodily suffering was aggravated by *apish of mind. which induced him to pray for death as the greatest of blesaings. At day-light a plank was brought into the room. laving rope" attached to the Isar corners, the cods of which were tied together above it. On this Golownin was placed. bound as he was, aiiil car ried away on the shoulders of two men, he knew not whither. after taking • last farewell, as he thought. of his oafs:tomato companions. lo a short time. hearreets. he found himself io a beet, aide which all the rest were brought one by one in the setae smuttier. with ea armed soldier betweeu each of them.

They over, that reel poet of the neat was thickly strewed with bead. . Inge; et every third et North vend were parolees . , . . silloopis o . is etch extensive &hones appeared to be carried OP. Th..gh the Japanese paid no intention: to the sufferings of their priloners from the tight lipmenno, they were most attentive to their wants in all other respects; they fed them with rice and broiled fish, putting the meat with little Kielce into their usouths ; and constantly flapping away the goats mid flies which annoyed them. Oil their arrival at a village, a venerehle old man brought them some siechi, and stood by while they were eating it, with evident marks of pity in his face. Nor was this the only instance in which they experienced humane and kindly attentions from individuals ; on the cone trary, in the course of their long confinement they met with so much sympathy from the highest to the lowest, that Captain Galownin left Japes with the must favourable impression of the benemeleuce and generosity of the people. The boats, which were thirty feet long and eight feet bruad, were new dragged through some thickets, and up a steep lull, on the otheir tilde of which they • were launched into • sort of canal ; •t the termina tion of this they entered a large lake, which they "cussed. In this way, sometimes by land and some. times by water, but always firmly bound, arid, when on shore at night, hung up by the cords to hook. in the wall, they were conducted the? knew not whither. The party escorting them amounted to nearly 200 men; yet it was not till the Moth day that they ventured ter loosen the cords sg the writes, lat as to allow them to make ore of their hoods. The prisoners now learned, for the first time, that all this apparent inhumanity was intended es an act IX kindness. It, prevent then', in the degreased •It nation of their minds, from committing.suicide. The extraordinary conduct of the Japanese in other respects was also ex t olained ; and the Russians could now understood why every evening they were careful to -wash their feet with warm water; why they would not allow them to eat strawberries and raspberries ; why they would not suffer their feet to be wet, but carried them over every splash ur streamlet they tart with ; why, when they marched along the banks of a lake or river, a Jo patiese invariably placed himself between each Russian mod the water ; and finally why, after their hands had been unbound, the Japanese always took care to held their pipes for them while they smoked : —it was done, as they now informed them, that they might not convert the pipe into au in strument of death ; on this point, however, they came to a sort of compromise—that the Russiaus should fasten to the mouth-pieces of the pipe, a wooden ball, of the size of a lien's egg, which was supposed to he toe large to swallow. The act of suicide, not being considered either by the Chinese or .I.nranese as a crime, is very frequent in both countries; and, as in both, the officers of govern ment are responsible for the health and safety of those delivered into their custody, their °Semis, attentions go near to verify our own adage of " kil. ling with kindness." Ott approaching Cbakodade they were met by three officers who had been sent is, conduct them thither. These new guides evidently wished to render their situation us little distressing as pos. eibleond, with the exception of loosing their bands, inceie,lrd iu making them mote comfortable : they took great pains to assure them that, alien th-y reached Chakudade, they would inhabit a fine house prepared for their reception, and enjoy the society of the most distinguished inhabitants of the place. As the ropes seemed to weaken the effect of all these fine promises, the guards end red to console them even on this point, by vehemently ' , miming that the greatest officers of state, when accused, were bound just se they were. It was a whole month after leaving Ku...shier before they reached Chakodade. lotto this city they were marched with great pomp ; the sides of the road were crowded with spectator., nuri, wo men, and children, who behaved with the utmost olecofent. " I particularly marked their cougar anuices," says Gulownin, and never once observ ed a malicious look, or any signs of hatred towards us, and nous showed the least de.poosittosi to insult us by mockery mood derision." They were eOll - into a large wooden huildoug fenerd round with prlisadues.
