China. On Dec. 5, six English gentlemen, Messrs. W. Rutter, Small, Bellamy, Brown, Baikwill, and M�Carte, after church went up the river at Canton, about three miles, and landed to take a walk, and shortly after they found themselves attacked by a body of Chinese, and cut off from their boat. In this attack one or two of the party fell; the others attempted to escape, but were taken at one of the villages, and confined, and by the evidence of the Chinese, on the coroner�s inquest, it appeared that up to the morning of the 7th they were alive, when they were cruelly put to death. Sir J. Davis demanded redress, and after much negociation with Keying four Chinese were beheaded on the 21st inst., and 11 were put under trial. Men of war are ordered down from the coast, to act if necessary. |
