Herald sent a reporter to Dover to fully in-
Vcstigate the Coulter matter. He finally went,
and we publis h to-day his full report. The
Coulters are prominent people, though Mrs.

objected to being interviewed, said: Ser
tainly not.'' Her story follows:
about Il years ago we decided to take up
our abode in Dover and everything went
along smoothly for several years, business
progressed and being of saving tempera-
ment we accumulated quite an amount
Our family increased as the years rolled by
and we now have children living, the old

way into our household, and doctors bills
flooded upon Us, until we have nothing left
but our home, and these sweet children.
Everything else went to satisfy the claims
of physicians.

FRENCH BARBARITY AT JAFFA.
Thousands of Prisoners Shot Down After
the Surrender.
No French victory was ever marked
by such unbridled license as that which

But what followed was worse; for the
prisoners of war were too numerous
for the ordinary usage. For some days
they were treated according to the
terms of quarter they had exacted. On
the 18th council of war unanimously
voted that the old rule under which no
quarter is given to defenders in an as
sault should be applied to them. For
three days Bonaparte hesitated, but
on the Goth his decision was taken. A
few Egyptians were sent home, and
the remainder of the prisoners, to-
gether with the eight hundred militia
from FL Arish, were marched to the
beach, and shot. In the report to the
Directory the number was put at
twelve hundred. Two eve witnesses
estimated it-one at three thousand,
the other at four thousand.
II have been severe with those of
your troops who violated the laws of
war" wrote the author of the deed to
Jezzar. No mention of the fact or ex-
cuse for it was made in any of his other
correspondence at the time. All winter
long he has been dealing as an Orient
al with Orientals, and this was but a
piece of the same conduct. The code
of Christian morality was far from his
mind. IN January, for instance, he
had ordered Murat to kill all the pris,
oners of hostile tribe in the desert,
whom he could not bring away; AID
in the same month identical orders
were issued to Berthier concerning an
other existing horde
The plea which is made by the eulo-
gists of Napoleon, ard by some recent
military writer's, for this wholesale ex-
eeution, is that among these slaugh-
tered men the garrison of FL Arish,
which had surrendered, had been
found again with arms in their hands;
that they were deserving of death ac-
cording to all the laws of war; and
that, as to the rest, there were no
French prisoners for whom to exchange
them, and no provisions to support
them, consequently their presence
with the army would jeopardize its
success, and it was therefore justifia BILE
to diminish the enemy's resisting
power by their execution. Those who
believe that war, whether just or un-
just, justifies any barbarity which will
lead to speedy victory will agree with
that opinion. Prof w. NJ. Sloane, in
