TIIE MASSACRE OF ENGLISH SAILORS
UNDER A FLAG OF TRUCE.

Yesterday the government received from Admiral
Saunders bundas a despatch to the following effect :
" A short time ago her Majesty's ship Cossack took
and destroyed some coasting vessels near Hango, and
three persons—the captain of one of the vessels, his
son, and another Finnish sailor—were taken pri-
soners. Admiral Donde'', anxious not unnecessarily
to injure the trade of the country, directed the Cos-
sack to bear up to Hango, in order to put on shore
,he persons who had been so captured, who
had requested to be put on shore there, and
tour other persons, who had also been taken
prisoners near St. Petersburg, and who had
also requested that they might be put on
shore there. The Cossack ventured to Haago in
order to put these persons on shore, and at some dis-
tance from the place she anchored, and sent the cutter
on shore with the seven prisoners and the ordinary
boat's crew. A flag of truce was displayed for at
I least half an hour before she reached the jetty. No-
body was perceived but one person, who ran away at
once. The boat arrived at the jetty, and landed the
prisoners and their baggage. Every man remained
in the boat. A body of Russians, who are reported to
have amounted to from 300 to 400, came down to the
jetty. Lieutenant Geneste, the officer, waved his
flag ot truce, and explained why they came on shore.
The Finnish captain also took the flag of truce, and
tried to explain, both in Finnish and Eugliph, the
reason why they came on shore. The officer in
command of the Russians not only understood Eng-
lish, but spoke it. He said, ' They did not care in
the least for a flag of truce, and they would show
how the Russians would fight,' whereupon some 100
Russian soldiers immediately fired upon the officer
and the prisoners on the jetty, and killed them all.
They then fired into the boat till every man in the
boat fell. The Russians rushed into, the boat, and
threw some of the bodies overboard, dragged one
wounded man out, threw him on the jetty, and
bayoneted him, and left five bodies for dead in the
beat. The cutter not returning later in the day, the
gier was sent in, and it was ascertained from a dis-
tance that the cutter was moored to the jetty, and
that there were some dead bodies in it. In the night, a
black man wounded with two balls through the arm
and one through his shoulder, cut the fastening, and
tried to scull the cutter from the jetty to the ship.
In the meantime the Cossack standing in in order to
ascertain what had become of the men in the cutter,
sent in a boat, and brought off the single survivor,
on whose evidence it is that the whole story rests."
