To talk of an omnibus Bottlement by which the abrogation of the Clayton-Bulwer Tresty *shall balancé doucessions to be made by the United States is absurd, and shows complete ignorance of the American, character and the conditions now prevailing. The majority of Americans believe that England will accept any kind of treatment from their country without resenting it, which is the reason the Unitedly States treat England so contemptuously.

The conderaned man went on foot, in tho midst of the decort of the German prison-guard; behind the procession three large Chinese coffins were carried. We had no sympathy with the criminals, but we could not withhold a cortain respect for the stoical indifference with which they went to their death. They went quietly with the soldiers to the places of execution. The Fantai and the 83 year old Tartar General were ashy pale in their faces and walked on more or less mechanically; the cavalry Colonel, however, a large stout man, walked to the place of execution very erect, as if in wild defauce. 1820
