smile, the natural urbanity of his manner—to which, how-

consistent with his proper dignity—and the richness of
his dress, pleased the multitude and the army ; although
self-reputed sages laughed at this last display, and pro-

There cauld be little doubt of the intention of the shot.
This circumstance made mademoiselle think that in their
fury the royalists might attack Neuilly, and carry off the
family. Accordingly, the duke, accompanied only by his
faithful adherent Oudard, left his retreat, and crossed the
country on foot to Rainey, another of his seats, situated
near Bondy. This was on the 29th July ; the duke was
dressed very simply, and wore a grey hat with a tri-
coloured cockade. As soon as the canon-shot was fired
from Courbevoye, mademoiselle said to the duchess, " My
dear, we cannot stand by those people any longer ; they
massacre the mob, and fire at us ' • we must take a decided
part." Hastening to her wardrobe, she tore up several
silk dresses, white, blue, and red, made them into cock-
ades, and distributed them to the household.—Appert's

stopped at Canton in consequence of a sailor, on board an
American ship, having as was alleged dropped a pot over-

board, by which a Chinese woman was ac.iidentaily killed.
Captain Copeland refused to surrender his seaman to the
Chinese authorities, unless Howqua, the celebrated Hong
merchant, would pledge his word that the sailor would be
returned as soon as he had gone through the indispensable
ceremony of "looking at the Chinese judge," i.e., the
Chinese judge looking at him. The Pon-ue (judge), and
came on board the Emily, and demanded
nan should be placed in irons ; this re-

his interpret
that the se

quest was firmly refused, and at last dispensed with. Pac-
qua, the security merchant of the Emily, and Cowqua,
the linguist, being called, fell on their hands and knees,
to hear the demands of the Pon-ne, of which the Ameri-
cans could get no interpretation. Captain Copeland was
next called, and required to produce_ the prisoner, Terra-

nova, who approached the table at which the Pon-eu sat ;
the fatal jar with which he was accused of having struck
the woman, was placed before him on the deck, tegether
with the hat she wore at the time. Being questioned, he
replied with perfect composure and firmness, that it was
the same jar which he had handed the woman, and gave
her a mace to pay for the fruit she was to place in it ;
showing by signs the manner in which he handed it into
the boat. The_Pon-ue exhibited great irritation at any

'twin'. co, explanation ; anti tiowqua and the linguist,
slthough repeatedly urged, did not translate the one-half
A his defence ; and whenever they attempted, they were
;topped by the judge. All efforts failed to have other
witnesses for the defence heard, and the Chinese witnesses
3eing called, the Americans withdrew, (this is the, custom

in Chinese
would be hi

:rials), but not withoutan:assurance that they
ard. A woman and two children were the
_es produced, and when required to point out

the supposed guilty party, the woman seemed unable, un-
til the linguist placed his hand on Terranovo, although
there was no other seaman present. This circumstance
was strongly objected to on behalf of the. prisoner, and
the linguist was requested to make known the objection to
the judge but be refused to do so. A translation of this
woman's'evidence was then commenced; but as she spoke
rood English, it was urged thatishe ought to be allowed

evidenceawn for the satisfaction of the Ame-

ricaris. This was refused, and on her commencing Eng-
lish, she was instantly stopped. It was now urged that
this same woman, a few days previous, had stated to
Captain Copeland, in the presence of four other captains,
a totally different statement, viz.: that she was inside of
her boat when it occurred, but saw the husband of the de-
ceased pick up the hat and jar, and forcibly make a hole'
in the former with the jar. All this Howqua interpreted
to the judge, but without making any impression on him,
One of the children gave some evidence, but there was no
translation of it made. Evidence was tended on hehalf of
the accused, to prove that the children were on shore at
the time of the fatal occurrence. At last it was admitted
that the judge was aware that the woman had told a dif-
ferent story, but he declared that now she had told the
truth. The instruments of torture were brought forward,
but not
.made use of. Captain Copeland became most
earnest 117. protesting against this mockery of justice, but
was deprived of the aid of the Rev. Mr. Morrison, by the
Chinese, on the ground of his being a British subject,
At length the judge, seeing the determination of the Ame-
ricans, again took his seat. He sat a few minutes, but
only heard a few words of the rebutting testimony, when
he silenced the linguist, and rising from the chair, said it
was Heaven's business; if he had judged wrong, God
would punish him for_ it hereafter ; he knew in his own
heart the man was gully ; he must be delivered up. With
this he quitted the kimly, leaving upwards of 1000 Chinese
on board, and the ship surrounded with. war boats. Ter-
ranova, in a few days afterwards, ,willingly surrended
himself, which was a good proof of . his innocence. He
was conveyed to Canton, and it is. supposed a similar
mockery of justice gone through before the viceroy, and
on the third day he was strangled outside the city wall
