all on board armed. The crew were, it is said, sud-

buildings. They at first defended themselves, but
were forced to surrender to superior numbers. Five

sailors caged, of whom four were wounded. The boat

THE MASSACRE AT HANGO.

WE published yesterday, in a second edition, the
official account of the brutal and cowardly massacre
oil= English boat's-crew, at Hugo, by the Itrunians.,
We did not trust ourselves to commast es tint
outrage before we received the official Seiteent.
Prom the commencement of the Oriental difficulties
we proclaimed the necessity of driving back Ind
kinibling Russia upon broad general principles, sad
we did not need to have our unmitigated hostility to
Nat Power envenomed by an isolated act of barbarity.
We wish England to execute justice upon Russia net
under the impulse of pertonal exasperation, but in a
spirit of stern but calm end passiooless equity. Be-
siden--barbuous though we know many of the hordes
that have been armed against us by the Curt to be,
and ruthlessly unscrupulous though many of his
generals are—we were determined to wait till it
should appear whether the massacre might not haws
been perpetrated under extenuating circumstances.
There had bees a silly story, boastfully put in circu-
lation by some English journals, about the cleverness
er some steamer, which was said, under the pretext
et restoring the coach of the Governor of Hertch, to
have taken soundings of the Straits. It seemed pos-
sible that this story might have reached Russia, and
led to the issue of orders that no Englislr flag of truce
should be received, and that some rash neglect of
form on the part of the English boat's-crew might
have provoked the enemy to fire upon them. It is
now, however, apparent that the butchers have had
no such palliation for their act; that it has been at
owe a gross violation of the positive law of nations
and of the dictates of common humanity.
The facts of the case are as follows :—The boat
was despatched to set on shore some Finnish sailors
—Russian subjects—who had been captured, but
ordered to be set at liberty. The Cossack—the
wee' from which the boat was despatched—kept
standing off and on at about two miles and a half
from the landing-place. Midway between the ship
and the shore a flag of truce was hoist. d on board the
boat. It was is the option of the &miens to have
refused to allow the flag of truce to approach the
shore, and to have warned the boat off in the usual
manner recognised by the laws of war. Instead et
doing this they placed their troops in ambuscade far
the purpose of luring the kat'a-crew into
their power. The arms of the Englishmen
were kept in the bottom of the boat, un-
loaded. The officers landed unarmed, aloes
with the prisoners they were to liberate. These and
not till then, an overwhelming force of Russian sot.l
diers broke forth from their place of concealment:
The person who acted as their commander had not
only seen the flag of truce as the boat approached the
shore, and after the officers and their prisoner a hurtled.;
but he understood and replied to the ex planet ions gives
him in English and Finnish. Yet by his orders hie
numerous soldiery deliberately shot down the English
