THE EXPRESS, THURSDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 2, 1858.

surrounded by all kinds of embarrassments and in-
conveniences. But, if the change of system had
been more abrupt, and the change of agency
more complete, we shudder to think of the chaotic
mass of confusion which would have signalised the
first days of Her Manten's direct government of
her Indian Empire. The very objection so fre-
quently urged against the new Government—
namely, that it is so much like the old—is, we re-
peat, our solace and our safeguard. A new system
and a new set of men must have broken down under
the deed weight of ignorance and incompetence.
But now we believe that, in the course of a few
weeks, the old Compan)'s men will lick the new
system into something like shape, and set it fairly
on its legs. It will then go on smoothly enough until
the re-assembling of Parliament There is nothing
indeed but Parliament to prevent it from going on
smoothly. There is • world of frightful signifi-
cance, however, in that qualifying monosyllable.
Our language is not that of idle conjecture or vague
prophecy. Already we know that by more than
one influential party in the two Houses the plan of
attack, both upon the measure and the Minister, is
now being considered—nay, is well-nigh instinct
The new Government of India is that of the " &ere-
" tary of State for India in Council." It is composed,
therefore, of materials partly evanescent and partly
permanent. The Secretary of State,whilat Parliament
is sitting, may be here to-day and gone to-morrow—
he may be snuffed out in a night. Our trust, there-
fore, is in the Council, which is independent of Par-
liamentary whippers-in. Let the Council, then, be
true to itself. We do not disguise that it has a diffi-
cult part to play. The relations of the Secretary of
State to the Council will be very different from those
of the President of the Beard of Control to the Court
of Directors. Resistance to the Minister will be
more difficult and more emberreaeing. But in
almost every ow of such resistance, it will not really
be the Minister but Parliament that is to be re-
listed ; and one of the shier duties and the
chief uses of the Council is the resistance of
Parliamentary encroachments. The interest of the
Council lies in the same direction es its duty. As
soon as it follows the Minister's lead of concession,
it infallibly signs its death-warrant. The perma-
nence of the Council is involved in its independence;
and we scarcely exaggerate when we say that on the
permanence of the Council depends the permanence
of our Indian Empire. " How to amend the Dino-
" tion," wrote Sir Jour; MALCOLM, " and to give
" it a better character for its altered duties, with-
" out weakening that mound which stands be-
" tween India and the corrupt r.tronage of Eng-
" land, Ido not know. . . . Bat I may ex-
" press my opinion (and it is that of a man
" who has received nothing but favours from the
" Throne and neglect from the India-House) that if
ever there shall cease to be an intermediate body
" between the Crown and India of sufficient strength
" to shield the latter from encroachment, we shall
" soon cease to have any trouble in governing this
" vast empire." Let then, we say, the new Council
of India be true to itself. If it shrink from resisting
Parliamentsry encroachment, it will soon be swept
into the Limbo of Vanities, as a costly and unprofit-
able sham.

EXPRESS FROM PARII3.

(11MI °VII OWN cloaitirrosmarr.)
PARIS, WZDNISDAT EVENING.

The Emperor and Empress left St. Cloud between
six and seven o'clock this mottling for Biarritz.
Their Majesties took the railway round Paris, which
puma by one of the park gates of St. Cloud, and
proceeded to the Orleans station, where they were
received by the chairman of the company, Baron
Paid de Richemont, who was to accompany them to
Bordeaux. Sixty horses and thirty-four carriagee
have been seat on for their Majesties' use. lam not
able to say whether the Prince Imperial is of the
party. The Pays says that he has accompanied his
parents, while the Petrie announces that he re-
mains at St. Cloud. So far authority is equally
balanced. But Galignani says :—" The intention of
the august travellers is, should the young prince not
be too fatigued, to proceed on without any break in
their journey, and to arrive at Biarritz at about ten
o'clock at night." I incline to think, however, that
the interesting child remains with his nurses at St.
Cloud.

It is stated that the Emperor has ordered his
aide-de-camp, General Niel, to prepare a report on
the military situation of France. There is a want
of precision in this announcement which will doubt-
less be remedied shortly, supposing the news to be
true.

The Council-General of the Herault, taking notice
of the accredited rumour that Prince Napoleon will
!shortly pay a visit to Algeria, uses the privilege
of expressing a wish which the constitution allows,
by recording a hope that his imperial highness will
stop on his way at Cette, the " true entrepOt of the
products of France destined for Algeria."
The Pays is moved, no doubt by irresistible
pressure, to deprecate the cry of the Patric for more
liberty. It considers the discussion as "exhausted,"
and lUNIIIIIIIN an attitude of surprise at the request as
striking as that of the muter of the workhouse
when Oliver Twist asked for more porridge. It
dutifully suggests that "if" there is to be any
change in the laws which regulate the press, the
government alone is the proper judge of the time
when, and the extent to which it should be made.
With these views it declines to associate itself with
attempts to obtain a relaxation, " winch in their
pressing and objurgatory form, do not seem to us
calculated to hasten a solution."

The rise at the Bourse goes on. The Rents closed
at 71fr. 500. for cash and 71fr. 70c. for account,
with a further improvement of 25c. and 30c.
Mobilisr rose 60fr. The Orleans railway rose 15fr. ;

The Courier dr Bee-Rhin &gumless the death
of M. Emile Dollfus, President of the Industrial
Society of Mulhouse, formerly deputy of the town,
and one of the principal representatives of the
manufacturing interests of the country. He died
suddenly at Baden on the 27th ult., from the rup-
ture of an aneurism. He was one of the mast influ-
ential free traders in France, and his death may be
considered as a national loss.

The handsome casino and bathing establishment
of Fecamp was completely destroyed by fire on
Monday evening. An English friend, who bad gone
to pus the autumn there with his family, writes to
me that scarcely a stick of furniture is saved. The
fire broke oat in the kitchen, and is supposed to have
been occasioned by some burning coal falling upon
the deal flooring. The whole place was in flames in a
few momenta. Happily there was no loss of life.
Almost all the inmates were assembled in the draw-
ing-room, where there was an evening concert, and
easily made their escape when the alarm was given.
A paralytic lady, who was in her bed-room, was
saved. This catastrophe is a terrible blow to Fe-
camp, which has been making praiseworthy efforts
to become an attractive watering place. The casino
was only completed on the let of Jane last, and the
cost of building it was not less than 700,000 fr. It
was capable of accommodating 400 visitors. The
arrangements were very much like those of Fres-
eati's at Havre. It is understood that insurances to
the extent of 600,000 fr. were effected with vicious
ampanies. We may therefore hope that the public
will not long be deprived of suitable accommodation

at this very pretty point of the French coast. The
cliffs and downs of Fecatop may bear comparison in
some respects with those of Etretat; and when, u
often happens, Etretat and Dieppe are overflowing,
FEcamp is a precious harbour of refuge for sea-
bathers. It has the advantage of being cheaper than
either of the above watering places, but the town is
frightfully ugly, and the casino, now destroyed, was
the only agreeable residence in the place.
A rabbit-skin merchant, named Michel Liandier,
WAS sentenced on Monday, at the assize court of the
Bailie, to eight years' imprisonment, as a fraudu-
lent bankrupt. This man, &though he maid
neither read nor write, carried on bu&nees on a
very large scale, and in one year turned over as
much as four millions of francs (160,0001.). Having
many branch establishments in the provinces for the
purchase of rabbit-skins, hie mercantile correspond-
ence was very voluminous, but he carried it all on
through a public writer (ecrirain pesblie), a man
who sits in a little but, scarcely big enough to hold
two people, and whose ordinary occupation consists
is writing servant-girls' love letters. This man not
only wrote Liandier's letters, but posted up his books
at his dictation. For some years Liandier was pros-
perous, but when the crisis of 18.57 came he bought
rabbit-skins at high prices on credit, and sold them
at one* at low prices for cash, and showed as much
skill in dictating false entries as if ha had been able
to write them himself. His mancruvree were, how-
ever, detected—not without difficulty—by an &c-
-onstant, and hem* his disgrace.
Count de Persigny arrived in Paris on Monday,
and was received in the coarse of the day by the
Emperor and paid a visit to Lord Palmerston. He
afterwards left for St. Etienne.

Prins* Jerome gave on Sunday last, after the re.
gatta of Havre, a grand dinner at Frucati's, at which
the prefect of the department, the general com-
manding the division, and the principal functionaries
of Rouen and Havre, were present. The prince after
dinner entered into a long conversation with the
Mayor of Havre, and informed him that he had
transmitted to the Emperor the Memorial which had
been delivered toihim for that purpose by the muni-
eipality of Havre. Later accounts from Havre state
that on the following morning Prince Jerome sent
for the mayor and informed him that he had just
received despatches from the Emperor authorising
him to acquaint the Municipal Council of Havre that
immediately on the return of the Moister of
Finance to Parig, the question relative to the build-
ings on the site of the old fortifications should be
solved, and that measures would be taken for the
commencement next year of the works in the port.

of Ammer, la the Indepredaeatlge, says —" Since the

INDIA AND CHINA.

INDIA.

We have received by special express, in anticipa-
tion of the Overland Mail, our advice. from Calcutta
of the 17th. Together with these have reached us
Bombay papers to July 24, forwarded, as is rendered
probable by accounts in the Indian journals, by an
after mail which wu to be sent by the Hon. Com-
paay's steamer Assays, in the hope that it would
arrive at Aden in time to meet the Calcutta steamer
on her way to Baez. By this mail our intelligence
from the western side of the Indian peninsula is
brought down five days lat2r than the date of the
letters last received from Bombay. The news of
the Jeddah musacre had just reached Bombay, and
it was believed in that city that the Assaye was
leaving in order to carry her long guns to the sap-
port of British rights there.

Oar lut detailed news from India left General
Roberts in pursuit of the Owallor fugitives, who
attacked Tonk, a town in Rajpootana, on the road
from Delhi to Mhow, and nearly 300 miles north of
the latter place. The town was plundered by ths
rebels, with whom Nabob's troops appear to
have fraternised. The Nabob himself held oat; and
while the insurgents were attacking his stronghold,
they heard of the advance of Holmes's Brigade, and
suddenly made off fur Numpcor Moonshor.
The following aeries of telegraphic service mes-
sages, communicated by the government to the Cal-

eutts press, exhibit the course of proceedings in
this direction :

" Allahabad, July 11,10.30 p.m.

"General Roberts on the 6th July was at Sher-
doss, on the 7th at Ourhousa, and on the Bth at
Gloolousee. Captain Eden accompanies the force.
The rebels had moved south; on the 6th they were
in the neighbourhood of Jellanee, and on the morn-
ing of the 7th were marching towards Took, and
were on that day between Jallanee and Bursoonee.
General Roberta about to send on detachments in
pursuit ahead of his main force."
" Allah bad, July 12, 10.40 p.m.

" The following has been received from Agra,
dated the 11th July, 9 p.m. Captain Eden writes
by express from near Dotighar, that on the 9th inst.
the rebels had taken possession of Took, and stir-
wended Bhoomghur, in which the Nawab resides.
They have plundered the town and got three brass
guns and a little ammunition. Firing wu heard in
the camp from the Bhoomghur, in which the Nawab
is holding out. None of his men, it is said, have
sided with the rebels. General Roberts would reach
Tonk on the 11th."

" Allshabad, July 15, 11.10 p.m.

" Capt-4n Eden writes from Touk on the 11th.
The rebels were reported to have reached Rampore,
and to have opened Sre on that place ; the result not
known. If they succeeded in taking it they
would have obtained 12 guns, with ammunition.
Brigade left for Bukkor the evening before, and were
16 males from Rumpore. Sir R. Hamilton reports
from Owalior that Abhoojan, a relation of the Banda
Nawab, and Abniedullah, Rilladar of Muswara in
the Shabad territory, were arrested on the 12th of
July." . - .

Albland, July 15, 12.10 p.m.

" The following information dated 13th July, hu
been received from Agra. Captain Eden writes from
Bhoggree on the 10th instant :—The rebels who hid
Wicked Bhoomghur in Took suddenly desisted, hear-
ing of Belmes's advance with cavalry and horse sir,
tillery. They fled on the 9th instant, without
stopping, to Buneta, and are supposed to
have reached Rampoor a Oongara on the fol-
lowing day. Holmes's Brigade should be at Buneta
on the 11th, and General Roberta with the main body
would reach Took on the same day. The general
hu sent an express for Colonel Smith's Brigade, at
Sepree. Many of the Toot Nawab's troops have
sided and gone with the rebels. The Sepoy caught
at Japes states that the leaders are Tantea Topee,
Nawab of Bands, Rahimally Khan, and the Handily
Nawab. The rebels' horse, which came to the
Blairtpore frontier, have fled into Dhooj (?) between
Dholepore and Kurrowlee. The Bohai rebels who
came back from °weber to Madhopore, in the
Jeypore territory, have gone back to Sheopore in
O walior."

The Bombay Telegraph of July 24 says:—" We
hear that the rebels, after plundering Took, did
not go to Bampoora, u MIS expected, but went to
Borwans, by way of Kunderee, proceeding thence
to Kustulls. Colonel Holmes was waiting for
farther information before moving on."
The Bombay Standard says in its overland isrue:
"We have intelligence from Brigadier Roberts's
ofTee, then at Tonk, up to the 13th. They had
arrived at this place the preceding day. On the
9th, finding themselves unable to overtake the
enemy while they kept together, a light detachment
was told off to pursue with the utmost speed. It
consisted of 160 men of the lith Hussars, 120 of the
Bombay Lancers, 220 of her Majesty's 72nd, a troop
of horse artillery, and four companies of the 12th
Native Infantry, the whole commanded by Lieut.-Col,
Holmes, of the latter corps. The European infantry
were to be mounted on camels for the sake of speed.
On the 11th heavy firing was heard ahead of the
main force, and it was hoped that Holmes might
(*me up with the enemy. It turned out to have
been an attack of the latter on the town of Tonk.
It seemed to have sustained no harm at their hands.
On our entering it three days afterwards we found
the shops open and the tradespeople all at work, as
if in the midst of the most profound tranquillity ;
meanwhile considerable apprehensions of an attack
on Nusseerabad were experienced. The ladies had
all been ordered to Ajmere, and this latter place was
being fortified. Twenty-five Europeans have died
of sunstroke between the 26th, when the force left
Nuaseerabad, and the 12th, when they reached
Took."

The Herkares of July 17 gives currency, in a
postaeript, to the following statement: —" A rumour
has just come that a very large force of rebels
(12,000) is entrenched close to Allahabad. We have
had no time to test the statement, and we give it
Piet as we have received it—from a respectable
queer."

The Commissioner at Patna telegraphed on the
11th of July : " Rebels have retired rather further
from Arrah, bat are still within ten miles. Bazar
road still elated." And again, sa the evening of the
same day: "Behar now appears to be entirely clear
of rebels, and is perfectly quiet. This is the cue
also with Patna and Chumali. There are still about
3,000 rebels in Shahabed, of whom 1,000 or 1,200
may be armed Bepoys. They principally occupy
the yeeitioe of the district around the Jegdespore
jungle. We have conaiderable bodies of troops
at Amok and on the trunk road. Brigadier Doug-
lu is about to establish a chain of posts round the
enemy's position. They have no gnus, and have
proved themselves a very contemptible foe, and their
expulsion is merely retarded by the state of the
weather and the road."

The following axtracedinszy statement is given in
the Bombay Telegraph:—"lt is stated in a letter
from Banda, that General Whitlock's column have

made a large' haul' from the rebels. A company of
the Madras 43rd Native Infantry, attached to the
column, found 140 cartloads of gold bricks and
nuggets, and 40 lace of rupees ; and more was ex-
pected to be discovered. Besides this large amount
of treuure, an immense quantity of jewels
have also been found. These are supposed
to have been the jewels belonging to the Peishwa's
family, which fifty years ago mysteriously disap-
peared from Poona, and were supposed to be in pos-
@anion of Scindia or Holkar. It is believed they
were stolen by Bajee Row's brother, the adoptive
father of the present Narrein Row, who is now a
prisoner. The treasure and jewellery found are said
to be of the value of nine crorea of rupees, or nine
millions sterling."

The rebel Rajah of Shahagunge has given him-
self up to Mr. Thornton, at Moororar.

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)

BOMBAY, JOLT 24.

A steamer, the Hon. East India Company's steam
ship Aasaye, being on the eve of starting for Jeddah,
the scene of a massacre of which yon will doubtless
have had the particulars, I hasten to write a few
lines, merely for the purpose of informing you that
very little change has occurred in the state of affairs
her. Tantia Topee having taken and plundered
Tonk, and vainly endeavoured to gain the fort held
by the Nawab,General Roberta's force left the neigh.
bourhood of Jeypore, where he had been for some
days, and marched to Tonk, which he entered on
the 12th instant. On the 9th • light detach-
ment of 150 Bth Hussars, 120 Bombay Lancers,
220 her Majesty's 72nd, four companies of the 12th
Native Infantry, the whole under Lient.-Colonel
Holmes, of the latter corps, was told off to pursue
the rebels. The infantry, mounted on camels, and
the force accompanied by a troop of Horse Artillery,
started in the direction of Tonk, heard the guns of
the rebels as they were taking the town, but failed
Ito meet them, as Tantia had retired on Colonel
Holmes's approach. Fear are still entertained lest
the enemy should have been able to turn
towards Ajmeer. The ladies at Nusseerabad
have been ordered into Ajmeer. There is no
farther change noticeable in any other part of India.
Lucknow, up to the 15th instant, was as usual quiet,
though surrounded by enemies. Owalior equally
peaceful on the 17th.

Smithe's brigade hu spin left Seepree in the
direction Of Jeypore ; and the 95th has been ordered
from Owalior to Seepree.
The Bangor and Gwalior territories have been
foamed respectively into divisions by Brigadier
Whitlock and Napier.

The news from Beher are still bad. Arrah has
again been attacked, and bungalows have been
burnt there ; but no lives have been lost.

The Buckree Eed Mahomedan Festival pared off
here in perfect quietness, and without any display
of force on the part of the authorities. The gay
world of Bombay hu migrated to Poona, where the
Governor now resides.

CHINA.

THE NEW TREATY.

We have received by special express, in anticipa-
tion of the Overland Mail via Marseilles, &chime
from Hoeg Kong of July 8, with particular, of the
progress of negotiations in the north of China, so far
us they were known in the colony at that date. Ac-
cording to information current in Hong Kong, the
allied ambassadors, on receiving from the Ch,nese
commissioners& letter promising conoeaions, thought
best to test its value by suggesting that the Russians
and Americans should make their terms at once, the
bases of such treaties, with " most favoured nation
clauses," forming a ready index to the extent of
Chinese concession. The Russian treaty had been
concluded, and reaches Europe by this mail, in
charge of Captain Chicacoff, its terms however
were not known outside the official pale. The
'heads of the American treaty will be found below.
It will be noticed that our cousins have stipulated
for their " good offices" in oases of difficulty with
other powers. Article 5, conceding the privilege ofl
an ambassadorial visit once a year to Peking, is the
only novelty worth speaking of.
When his Imperial Majesty's ship Ph legeton,wbich
brought to Bhanghse the news now told, left the
Peiho, the allied ambassadors were busy with the
details of their treaties also ; and the mail packet
was detained twenty hours at Hong Kong in the
hope that it might carry home the desired docu-
ment, a hope that does not appear to have been ful-
filled. It is said that Ki-yiog, the imperial com-
missioner who concluded the treaty of Nanking
with Sir Henry Pottinger in 1842, and was degraded
in 1850 for his reports in favour of the English, was
emaciated with the present commissioners. This
was at filet considered an indication of a favoo'able
disposition on the part of the Chinese government.
It was, however, soon discovered on his arrival at
Tien-Tsin, that the object was to retrieve his position
and rank, by a line of policy diametrically opposed
to that which lost it to him, and that he was exer-
cising a most injurious influence upon his colleagues,
who had shown an anxious desire to terminate, at
great sacrifices, existing difficulties. Fortunately a
memorial which he bad addressed to the Emperor
at the conclusion of the last war, couched in a very
different sense from the communications he was ad-
dressing to the British authorities at the same time,
was produced and read to his colleagues. This so
completely humbled the wily Ki-ying that he re-
turned
to Peking a day or two after, much to the
satisfaction of the allies.

The following, according to the Friend of CAissa,
are the ptisoipal provisions of the American treaty,
signed on the 18th of Jane, at Tien-Tsin, by Mr.
Reed on the one part, and by Kweiliang and Hwa-
shams on the other :

The treaty comprises twenty-Woe articles, some of which

UNSETTLED STATE OF CANTON.

Great complaints are made at Canton of the nn.
pleasant aspect of affairs there. The new Chinese
Commissioner, Hwang-tenng-oan, is pursuing a
course calculated to encourage resistance to the
allies, as will be gathered from the following sums.
sire official notifications published by our Acting.
Consul at Canton :
CIECTLAH.—TO THE BRITISH NIE4ANTILI COMMON=

AT RONAN. -
The undersigned has this morning received from the
senior naval offiosr an official oommunicaUon of import so
wei6ty, that, in aooordance with the wish therein impressed,
he humus to make public the consideration which it
embraces.

The community most be aware that, for some time pad,
the attitude of the population in the neighbourhood of Can-
ton has become more and more hostile. The recent procla-
mation of Hwang, Governor-General of the Two swang,
and an imperial commissioner for the arrangement of the
differences with foreign nations, replaces the relations of the
provincial government with the allied poen in nearly the
same position as they were antecedent to tho capture of the
city. Its tone is 60 Inimical, anti Its calls for a warlike
organisation, with the view of effecting the surrender of the
city, are so energetic, and it has bcen ao widely and simulta-
neously circulated, that it most be considered es Invested, if
not with the character of an express declaration of hostilities,
with that of a warlike manlfroto.

-I.Tader tii;eci7rttmetences, it will at once occur to the
community, that the primary objects of the care of the senior
officers in command of the silted naval forces, namely, the
maintenance of the military position in the city, and the pre-
servation of the ships under their command, may demand
the adoption of meseuree which will control or restrict the
native traffic in the river passages in the neighbourhood of
Canton.

The community will elm consider carat Effect intelligence
from other quarters—specie° or otherwise—may exert on the
existing state of affairs in this locality.
The senior naval officer is desirous that I should wan the
community to omit no precautions likely to secure them-
selves against the treacherous and stealthy attacks so conso-
nant to the ides' of the Chinese, end that I should point out
the imprudence of aoctuuulating on shore large and valuable
stocks of goods and other property, or of entering into specu-
lations which the possible occurrenm of. crisis may seriously
interruny he senior pt or impede.
Lu, t naval officer has requested the issue cd
thin notification, with the hope that a timely forethought will
enable the mercantile community to make the arrangements
most suited to their own and their constituents' interests,
without hurry or panto.

British Collations, Canton, 22nd June, 1858.
The following is the second circular :

The senior na;al officer ham been good enough to nom•
munitate to the un the substance of a communica-
tion rectived from the Imperial Commissioner Hwang this
weals& la which so far from dimpproving of the proceed-
ings of the braves, he declines to interfere to repress then,
and urges the evacuation of this city. He affects through-
out entire igooranot of tho existent* of negotiations to the
northward, and its general tone gives no room to expect any-
thing but the moat determined hostility.
The community are probably se well informed as the pa-
dersigeed of daily rumour, and occurrencee, and as con"
potent to judge of the probabilities of a genera{ attack on the
city. Keeping this in view, the undersigned advisees*
longer to delay any preparations for • sudden depart^
which may be required ; it being evident that the- Mind
forces in the occupation of the city and river cannot well be
considered otherwise than in • state of war with the peo-
vincial government.

On the same subject the Frietod of China, in its
issue of July 6, says:
. .

In our issue of Wednesday last we gave a short retansi of
of
at Canton, prefacing it with the remark that "daffy
our news from that quarter got worse and worse." We bare
to repeat this. Such gnarl and bewilderment we could hardly
hare oonosived, had we not, on a short visit last week, bed
ocular demonstration of it. Three weeks ago people lived
in hope on Honan. Even the garrison ontha hill were cheerful.
It might hare been mutate for an European to travel in a
chair from the landing plane to the Commissioners' l'amua,
but certainly the danger did not appear so peat as to deter
altogether. How different now I Honan is deserted, end
the Mumma are that next mail will carry home mire
the destruction of what, at a huge expense, bee been con-
verted into a foreign courtier. An embargo being laid on eff
native boats, vegetables, poultry, mutton and other Mirka*
ables hitherto finding their way to the offioers' mama bare
stepped altogether. Chinese meas-men vanishing—in some
awe with credit on the wrong side —Onkel now bars le
Snags far themselves. We had an opportunity of L.:employ-
ing • party ft search of a few neowesaries on Saturdaysttr
noon lest, and traversed tho Straight Street of Benevolence
of Love from the Commissioners Yemen to the Hart Gds.

Needy every shop was closed, and those with the doors cpm
had very Stale to sell. At stalls by the way-side, only, coal
a few cattle' of rtes to procured. Ten pounds of toe from
one store left about 20Ibe. more in small bozo. Sager
peered to be hidden in some secret mum, and a eagle of
small pullets were the sole remain, of a dozen poultry table.
Even the gates of that retort of gamblers sad radians of all
descriptions—the City Temple—are closed. Such a *Alt
oldeeolation was really painful to witness.
But what has been the immediate canoe of this P some sal
ask. The answer Is short. Repelling all attempt awls-
bility, the Chinese meet oar advances with cruelty. Weer,
en Instance of what occurred on Saturday last, almost mkt
our own eyes. Four Frenchmen landed from one ettloCer
fleet's boats for the purpose of purchasing provisions. Who
neer the south gate, and in the new city, they ware lama
hi by Br►ves. Three out their way through—the fourth wt.
captured, and lots head and hands cut off in sleet lean films
than it takes us to write this sequel—a apecimen of the tams
of panic.
The French naval commander on the river Landed *FM?

talked, sessenred off one handled peas, sad at cos Of
placed a detachment, with directions to shoot every male that
tried to escape. A similar party barred the ether eel•
Then came the revenge. Every adult male is the WWI

and then left to swelter in the sun as a warning to the add'
bourhood.
Forty- ix bodies, about cue to tech yard, made a ONO
