China Of the 9Th Of July. four Frenehmen
landed from one Of the Ca,inat's beats for
the purchase Of provisions. When near the
sonth gate, and IN the new city. they were
hemmed in BY braves. Three cut their way
through; the fourth was captured. and his
head and hands cut Of in almost less tune
than il takes Us to write this sequel--a specl-
men Of the cause Of panic. The French ma
val commander on the river landed party 81
men, marched 10 the street where the mar.
der was committed, measured Oft one hun

that tried 10 escape. A similar party barred
the other end. Then came the revenge,

The relations in which the English and Chi.
nese stand to each other are ut the same
character. In the same number Of the Friend
OF China in which the above incident is mar
rated we read a. follows:
The cook Of the 10Th Bengal Native In
fantry's officers mess had just reached a
small avenue leading up to the Temple in
which their officers have their mess-r0om
when he was stabbed from behind, and, fall
ing down, was headless in moment. Two
Sepoys were close by. and in such haste to
get away were the assassins that the knife
was left 10 the victims back. Brigadier Cor
field. in charge at the time. agreed with the
suggestion that an example of some kind
should be made. The whole street was lev
elled with the ground. House destruction
in fact is the business Of the day. Saturday
night some rockets were flung into the COM
Dissariat stores from houses adjacent. The
whole n-ighborhood will come down in order
that il shall not be repeated. Last Wednes-
day Captain Whiting. 10Th Bengal Native
Infantry. in charge Of the East Gate. was sit
ting in the upper room Of the harrack. when
two shots passed cio.e over his head anil
through the roof. Looking around to see
where they could come from. snake was OBJ
served issuing from loop-holes in honse in
the Strait Street Of Benevolence and Love
below. Action was prompt. A howitzer
stood loaded; il was frrd through the gable
end of the building, and carried destruction
TO all within il. Now the Military Train
, coolies are busy moving the houses in the vi
. cinlty Of all the gates.
Tales like these indicate that the foreign
soldery and the great body Of the natives oi
the Southern province are animated to each
other by a spirit Of inveteratp hostility. One
outrage is avenged BY another, and reci-
. proclty OF cruelty engenders reciprocity oil
lasting hatred. Il is equally apparent thai
organized bands of Chinese are still wagns
war against their invaders in the vicinity ol
Canton. A short time before the event.
above recorded. occurred a party composed o
men from the Actaon aud Tribune. which
had made hostile excursion into Honan. and
was returning with some prisoners. was fired
upon by gingai battery with such efeci
that Captain jenkins aud a number Of hi,

A letter irom T,en.Tsine, at the mouth %
the Grand Canal. where the French aud Eng.
lIsh are resting. dated June l., says:
!, The Chinese here have in a great mea

that aspect Of dociliiy and submission which

of suIlen aud sometimes active hostility.

On arriving at the city gates, however, they
were found barred, and 90 reconnaissance
