been received, and involving an amount Of blood
shed that is calculated 10 strike terror into the
hardest heart, and with any other people than
Chinese would induce reaction and cry OF
vengeance of the authors Of such fearful ontrages
as those now enacting at Annoy and in its neigh
borhood The imperialists have reiaken the place.
and have marked their success by staying in cold
blood nearly one thousand persons most Of whom
took no part in the late movement except on CON-
pulson. The streets and wharves OF Annoy have

the bravery Of the enactors
A letter from Annoy, dated November 90 recev-
ed but few hours ago, states that up 10 that Pc
riod all was quiet, and matters wore much the
same appearance, as far as foreigners were con-
cerned, as under the insurgent rulers. Execu-
tions were of daily occurrence. The nlandarins,
to mark their success, were revelling in human
gore, putting to death all who fall into their hands
indiscrminately.
The original mover of the rebellion had been
given up to the mandarins; the unfortunate
wretch was executed on the nth of November,
together with his son, both bodies being quarter
ed, and their heads placed on the principal city
gates. The villages around Annoy were made 10
contribute to the monster executions. Whole
villages were threatened with death, unless they
gave up all who took part in or syMpathized with
the rebels; and, as consequences of this brutal
demand, the poor, weak, inohensive, and defence
satiate the mandarins' thirst for blood.
