In reply to q question from Captain Duns-
combe, in the British House OF Commons On the
4 18th ult., Sire. Wood, First hord of the Admi-
ralty, gives the following official version of this
disastrous occurrence:
Sir @. Wood regretted that the report wss
only too true, He had to-day received dis
patches from Admiral Dundas, the substance Of
| which he would state, giving an account Of the
transaction. Some time before her Majesty g
ship Cossack took and destroyed some Russian
vessels near Hango, and some persons were
| taken prisoners-the captain of one of the YES.
, sells, his son and sailor Admiral Dundas
anxious not to use any unnecessary severity
toward the trade of the country 80 long as the
supplies for the Russian forces we're interrupted
directed the Cossack to return to Hango in or.
E der to put ashore the persons SO captured, who
had also requested to be put ashore at that
| place; four other Russians, who had also beer
taken prisoners, also requested to be landed
There. The Cossaek thereupon went to Hango
and, anchoring some little distance from tn,
place, sent theship's cutter with seven Russian
prisoners, and the ordinary boats crew. The
I boat approa6hed the shore under flag of truce
3 | which she displayed for half an hour before she
i reached the jetty. The officers and the priso
: ners landed with their baggage upon the jetty
E with the exception of the officers, every man re
' manned in the boat. A body of Russian sol
! diers, between three and four hundred, al
) armed, came down to the jstty. The Englisl
| officer waved his flag of truce. and explaine
: why the prisoners were put ashore. The Fin
- nish captain then took the flag of truce from th
: Lieutenant, and tried to explain both in Finnis
: and in English the purport of the visit.
!, The officer in command of the russians spok
a not only Finnish but English also, and said b
did not care for the flag Of truce, and that b
: would show the party how the Russians eoul
!. fight. Some hundred of the Russian soldiel
Immediately fired upon the British officers an
tho Finnish prisoners upon the jetty, and kille

i boat and killed every man but one. They tn,
/, rushed into the boat, threw some bodies ov

j him, but they left i've bodies for dead in Il
