CAUSE.-THE Friend of China of the oath says !:
In our last overland paper it was stated that some
seventeen criminals had been handed over to the
Chinese government, convicted at conrt held on
board the United States steamship SusQuehanna,
of having been principals in the murder of Capt.
Bryson and Others, and in the pirntical capture OF
the American ship Robert Browne. The principal
evidence against these men was that OF the Amer,
lean seamen but this the Canton judges would
take no note Of, consequently, on the second trial
only sufficient Chinese evidence could be obtained
to bring the crime home to one, who has received
sentence of decapitation accordingly. The rest,
it is said will be sent back to Token and released.
Whether the United States government will be dis
posed to sit quietly under this mode Of dealing with
violent outrage the persons and property OF its
citizens, remains to be seen. II
