THE TROUBLE IN CANTON.

Our readers will recollecl that the frs,
ro,o between the Americans and Chinese
al Canton, was caused by umbrage being
taken by the Celes,ials al an aTo,o hav-
ing been placed OIL the flag staff for a yane.
The cause of this indignant feeling Of The
Chinese, and why they construed it into
an insult, is explained in the following
extract of letter, dated May II, recei-
we'd at Boston. II also appears by This
letter that the Chinese felt exceeding hos
lille TO the Americans. Another fracas
was expected, which according to. the
intelligence by The Acadia, actually took
place. Advices from Canton will now be
looked for with anxiety.
I'VE had little row here few days
since, just Kill the monolony Of the place,
and two or three of The Chinese were shot
by the foreigners. 1t originated in flag
staff. (queer pIace,) or rather the weather
vane on the said staff. The hrandywine
bought out a very fine staff for this Con-
sulate, with wealher-vane, cardinal points
&c. Well this weather vaue was a large
gilt arrow; and with the Chinese the ar
row was first put up, some of the Chinese
protected against it, bu, little notice was
taken Of their remarks. But, unfortunate
ly, this season has proved very dry good
part Of the rice crop is ruined, great deal
of distress exists among the lower, classes
owing to the high price Of rice, and Cot,
ton and vicinity is extremely sickly, So
the Chinese said The arrow caused the
whole Of this, aud like all wise people,
they knew il would be so. Al last notices
were poasred up, saying that if the arrow
was not removed the flag staff would be
destroyed Mr.. Forbes. the American
Consul, thought best to send them down
the topmasl and take the arrow off, some
seamen from Wampoa came up for The
purpose. when large crowd OF Chinese
who had COLLECTED made rush forthe ar
row, cut the halyard which held the iop-
mast, and down it came by the run, but
they did mol succeed in getting the arrow.
The Americans then mustered with their
muskels, aud were assaied with showers
of fsones, but succeeded in driving some
thousands Of them from the American
square. Several shots were fred at the
Chinese, and have no doubt some Chi
Dese were killed, though the Chinese only
report three wounded by bullets. The
flag s,afiwas put up all right again (Mi
nus the arrow some soldiers came from
the city To protect The facturies, and all
has been quiet since. But we sxpect
another row soon, as they now want The
cardinal points gold ball. and tn. spear
taken off, and that the flag saff should be
no higher than the forlne-one. Tiis will
not be conceded to them aud the e'ent Of
their attempting to arrange it themselves,
their Gods mnst protect them, B there
will be no firing ouer their heads again; and
we muster fifty Yankees, all well armed,
and willing ,ofsht the whole mdbin Can
ton, aud furthermore, have The Nsndarins
on our side. Another row will be very
serious affair. Boston Post.
