A a I said at the 'resuming of my letter, we are in

•lure with truth, nadir the lanctioa of, sad eves
• inder Goateed to, the French governmeat. Hitherto
there has been a shadow of legality about it, as the
men were boaght—i. e., a certain rum was paid to
them down, sad a contract to pay them wages at •
certain rate. They were, I understood, for Nada-
loupe or Demo et the French West India bias&

treat hie interference to step the trade. He bellied
the elleiale, declared his determination not to toter•
bre, ;sad it is openly said he made large sums him-
self from the transaction.

Lately, however, they hare sot been able to pt
the men : either their offers were not high alosib,
or the coolies are not satisfied with what they heard
about them, sad did not choose to go. Well,* short
base same a Preach ship arrived to fulfil a coatrast
to ship oe 1100 of these fellows, but ending they
could not do it by fair means they actually romertsd
to kidnappleg•
For some little time men have from time to time
disappeared, whither nobody knows. llt takes a
long time to rouse the Shanghai coolies, but at the
hut this has become too much for them to stand, and
there has been a regular eisseu&s. I have no doubt
myself that our dissaten in the north hare contra•
buted at any rate in giving them pluck.
Accordingly, the day before yesterday there was
a regular strike ; knots of oodles were gathered to-
_

tether in different parts of the settlement ; and in
one street, consisting of Chinese bees" when there
were said to be some Friuli mikes lying hid for the
purpose of capturing the amine, they attacked
every au bearing the appears's* of a sailor, killed
two at three, sad very severely wouaded others.
Still we thought little of it, se they showed no die-
pomities to attack or molest the residents. On Friday
afteinsaso, 'torture, happened the sad part of the af-
fair, which, seen if the whole thing pus off quietly
now, which I thick myself it may, we shall, I fear,
hairs reason lug to regret. The coolies in the even-
ing, abut due, were attacking—in fact murdering
—a Frew& sailor on the road I mentioned, when
Dlr. Lay and oar puma, Mr. Hobson, pared.
Of tonne they euld not help interfering, and
the latter, who speaks the Shanghai dialect,
harangued the curies, trying to persuade them to
desist. At first they seemed inclined to do so, bat
some of the more turbulent, rushing is, Amok Hs&
eon on the lead, cad in the welts pees Lay was twice
&trimly 'tabbed, 1 her seertally. He has a meet
dangerous wound in the stareash, and to this hot
weather ittEanienatioa may est la at say memeat.
We all hope for .11111 best, however; for besides
that lay is generally well lilted, he is a man we can
ill spare—in fact, the man of all others whom we
scold jest at this'll& least sffoed to lose.
Of coons en this the whole settlement was is a
fermeet, and seversLeaptures and kidnappings of
eagies are said actually to have taken place in the
midst of all this,row. This I think doubtful ;at the
same time then believe themselves, and are of,
cosine in a Mateo( great excitement.
Intelligence war theta brought, or, at aay rate, the
Deport spre►d that the settlement was to be attacked

and that the only lemon that we were net attacked
last sight was that their measures were mot cea-
carted, and that they had not time to prepare,
but that tonight we 'hall have them down

ships close to the house, with a captain we
can depend upon, and he has his wife and
daughter on board, so at the first symptom of a
row we shall send off Mr. M— and the baby, and
our valuables, and then we will give the celestial
gentlemen a doge, if they do come. Our home is
almost the first they come to, and being a large sad
prominent one, it is jut possible we may have some

JULY 31.—After a rather excitlag Mght, sad
being deprived of our fair share el sleep, re me
"as we were." We anticipated no row till about
tem in the morning, which, I believe, is the Miss-
men's favourite time. However, soon efter dimmer,
about ten or half-past, the most Worml din mar
aroweed—beeting of gouge, shouting, yelling, and the
usual earempaniment of a Chime* attack. The
signal agreed oa with our ship wee that we were
to seed of a blue light, and that the skipper would
then mad two boats off, well armed, sad take the
" mieiree and the little eni• and oar books sad valu-
ables. However, the 11.11•1111 t be heard the row

with the essh-box and tills sad things'
pour Mrs. K. and the baby sans down, and
we shipped them off. Meanwhile a body of sloe
hundreds of these coolies either sallied out, or at say
outs owe to the outskirts of the sabots. Bea a

row did they make that I certaialy thought they
were right among as, and that we alsoahl have to
eat ear way to the jetty. However, they wore fir
enough off, and the French, who formed Ger ad-
naiad guard, sallied oat. I believe (bat am net
sure) they never met ; however, they retired tato the
city again, and there they have been all night,mskiag
the most awful shindy, and some large thee were
visible ; but whether they were burning hewer or
making bonfires as a demonstration, we dna% yet

chiefly, have no sympathy witk the Shanghai Salk—
tell ye that the disturbance h a heel one,
that there is not the least inanities new of
attacking us, bat that the Shanghai men
have takes advantage of this disturbance to saga
some old morn of long standing with the Tesatai,

who, with some of the other ;Scuds, is vary un-
popular. Others may that the Chinehew MU who
have come op in thousands of junks are going
to take the city. I don't exactly know why,
bat I suppose on the part of the rebels. At
any rats they may, "No fear bobbery that
foreign man jut now. That Shanghai maa
ney well, no belong that Englishman, asakey
steak= that 000 lie." However, is this plies,
sarreanded as we are by t►oaeands of these
fellows, with an available force of, I suppose at the
reside, 600 men, it makes us a little anxious. I
need hardly say we did not get a very long sleep
last sight. I foamy all will be quiet to-night, bat
we tut be reedy.
