There has been no inconsiderable excitement at
Hankow, owing to an attack made by certain villa
gers upon the French Consul, the commandant OF
the French gunboat Bretron and a French merchant.
These gentlemen had, 1t appears, gone out shooting,
and, In Knocking over a hare, one OF them managed
to lodge few small shot in the leg Of peasant
working In held Although they managed to qui ct
the party shot, number OF villagers raised a dis
turbance, mobbed the Frenchmen and took from
them their guns, adding few brickbats, &c., by
way OF parting civili,y. The Frenchmen, as well
they might, retreated, upon regaining the gun
boat party 0. forty men were despatched to the
scene OF the optrage the rngleaders were captured,
and the house OF the leader was pulled down as
warning TO future rioters. Much comment was ex.
cited by the matter In the local journals, but there
seems to be pretty general belief that the French
commandant was right in taking speedy action In
the matter, instead Of waiting the tardy measures OF
the Chinese magistrates, who would most infalibly
have been bribed to silence.
The irrepressible rebels form, as usual, an mex.
haustIble matter for newsmongcrs First OF all
shortly after the departure OF the China news was
received Of general mutiny OF imperial troops at
Fan-tseng, some sour hundred miles beyond llankow
Nothing has ranspired as to the result but 1t is pre-.
