number of these guns have been issued Il

armament for operations on land, the M

full complement of tho new Remington

on footing superior to that enjoyed bJ

can throw ashore from his united squadron
between six and eight hundred splcndidl,

be remembered that the American bark,

three or four years ago, and the crew prob.

them. As he had . comparatively small
force at his disposal. he did no, venture to
chastisc them for their crimes against hu.
msnity, or for their insolcnce, but sailed
away to await better occasion to give the
pirates s,lutary lesson. Other nations

allied sailors and marines. Five thousand
or more men will be landed, and one or two
pitched battles will doubtless bring the Co.

cities In Corea, and one or two of these will
