oceffeffneet The Mandarin who was to sit in aw-
ful judgment, required. thatthe Chjet of 41e Com •
party, the Captain of the Lien, aild the griotemodore
of the Company's ships, should not be permitted to
sit in his presence during the trial. Tbis was not
acceded to, and threats were uttered on the part of
the British. The Mandarin was equally obstinate,
and the business assumed a very serious aspeifl. As
the Mandarin could not come himself, or send one
of high order, he sent one whn:wel willing that the
British should sit at their ease in tcepd.elbow chairs.
Thus arranged, about the 6th instant, the trial
commenced, and of 52 sailors, 11 were seleiled as
the most guilty, and laid over for further proof.—
On the 9th the eleven were again brought up for
trial, and two were seleaed as the guilty persons,
who were again laid over for further investigation.
On the eleventh the two were again brought for-
ward, one of them adjudged guilty, and ordered to
be kept in possession of the Company until the
pleasure of the Emperor shall be known. 'fhe Bri-
tish ships are now loading, and will sail in about a
ttatnight. 'What fate tawaits the sailor retained is
one-train ; but it is probable that the Mandarins
would rather touch a few of the Security Mer-
e:tants' dollars. and keep the affair from the Empe-
ror, than retaliate the outrage against their coon-
ti man, In this case, not less than one hundred
tironurnd dollars will be necessary to patch up the
affair."

WAR Wl'llll SWEDLN.

During the last fortni;rht great apprehensions had
been entertained for the safety of Mr. Ps Tut t 7o: s r,
our Minister at Stockholm, his Secretaries, suite,
and two Messengers who accompanied lii.n,
amounting in the w tole to IQ persons. Goverc-
rnent Fad received *deices, that they had sailed in
a large sloop from Stralsund, and it was siipposod,
that they carte lost in the late storm. The.e appre-
hensions, we are happy to state. were unfounded.
Mr. TIERIAPOIt•T arrived nn Monday morning in
Leith Roads, and irnmeshately, on landing, set out
for London. He sailed from liehinghtng 12 days
ago i the intelligence he brings has not transpired,
though it i: 'urn oared that a Rondntion has taken
place in Sweden. He received a salute of t 5 guns
from tithe Admiral% ship in Leith Roads. D-..is ac-
count is extraaed from 7ke Erliglwgb Courant, re-
ceived in town yesterday. If any revolution has
taken place, it has, no doubt, been fomented
and effetsled by Fre ich intrigue. and French parti-
sans. The agents of MIS AreatTiAave been lung
labouring to bring abortt a revolts:inn in that coun-
try. To this end the writings in the Afiviitear have
been uniformly diieCted. It has never ceased to
urg ', that the lintiCAS of the people are at variance
w.th the pursu is of their Sovereign, and that their
welfare has been sacrificed to the misguided policy
of a weak and romantic Prince. The efre& of these
praetices has been long evident. Ii• shewrd itsell

occasion a large purlieu of the inhabit:alit; betrayed

fear, therefore, that the retool of a revolution to
Sweden is wrll-fousided. A' all events, war with
Sweden is certain. Were the K ion able to main.
