BANGKOK BEFORE THE FRENCH ASSAULT
Bangkok, July 6th,
(FROM OUR SP CIAL CORRESPONDENT.)
The latest subja for discussion is H.M.S. Piery, now anchored just Inside the har at Paknam. The presence of three British war veils--thew in part; the Pallas outside; and the Pigmy down the river, has greatly reassured everybody and, even the fact that a few bloe-jickets patrol the main thoroughfare in In the nighhouthood of the Legation is not without its effect. The precation was not taken much too soon. Already one or two Chinese zice-mills have closed for want of paddy, and a considerable number of coniles x10 thereby thrown out of employment, with nothing to do but hatch plots for gang-robberies, Other mills will probably close down very shortly, from the same cause. The rush of steamers seems to be over; there was only one vessel in port this morning -athing almost without precedent at this season. The Lutin people have kept very quiet since they aired their machine-guns the other day fancy they rather regret having made such an Indefensible attempt at coer los. Fricce Deva- the Foreign Minister, took the Boll wongse, stores in a thoroughly determined ways he askerd M. Pavie point-blank what the demonstration meant ? Ok f nothing-simply have dared to send practice." "Would those guns up in European port ?" demanded the Prince. I don't know what M. Pavlo had to say to that but the guns dims down next day, The Consul-General for the Netherlands has telegraphed to Java ter a Dutch gunboat to be kept in readiness to come here and protect the four or five hundred ! etberlands subjects, and the Americans are very indignant beciuse their temporary representative bis not doce like wisc.

person, aiming the yatlings, and directing the steering simultaneously. A shell struck her amidships, wrecking the deck machinery and the steering gear, and killing a couple of sailors; whilst the boats, masts, fornel, skylights, &, were perforated in a hundred places by the enemy's machine-guns. The other vertels suffered also, in a smaller degree.
The two ships passed on at full speed in the dusk, and opened a sharp fusillade on the Paknam foils, their metinite stells dropping all over, bat, fortunately for the defenders, mostly at the extreme rear.
The fire was returned with more
or less vigour as soon as it was certain that the vessels were French, but in a few minates they had passed, and were out of range. They then proceeded cautiously tight up to the towe, anchoring a little below the French Legation, Their loss bad been only two mer, with several cart:lies. The bedies were interred in the grounds of the Legation during the night.
Great excitement revailed in the town whilst the fting was heard, and when the two bosts moored off the Oriental Hotel it became intense, In the City thousands of soldiers were mustered; nobles hurried about in all directions, and about midnight his Majesty went the sounds in person, carried to his semi-State chair.
When day dawned great crowds of natives fined the shore, gazing at the newcomers, who had obliterated all marks of the conflict during the night, and dressed ship to honour of the “14th " at eight o'clock. This, naturally, was regarded as a sign of rejoicing at the victory, and was the subject of interminable gossip, which redoubled when the Bitch, Dutch, and even the few remaining Siamese vesseis followed salt.
But a rather different "dressing ship" was taking place down at the bar. The 7. B. Soy, as I have said, had been put ashore, In order that her shot-holes might be stopped. That was done satisfactorily, and she lay at anchor quietly, when a Siamese force from the fort boarded her, seized her captain, mate, and native crew, ran up the "whlie elephant," and then, re-opening the shot-holes, sank her with all her freight and official dispatches! The men were brought up as prisoners to the Naval Yard during the night, but liberated later, The French Minister is reported to be furious about it, and doubtless heavy compensation will be demanded.
All sorts of rameurs fy about, few of which can be credited. The local press are absolutely misleading. Wednesday's paper-tic official organ-stated that "the political si cation is still unchanged " Friday's Siam Fra Pran assured "everybody that the French ships would certainly not come up. And they bad then bren here twelve beurs.

Those who have watched Consular casez between foreigners and the Chinese authorities Nagasa will have observed that as to the ultimate results, they may be divided into three classes. First, those in which the Consul finds that the complainant has a just cause, and obtains redress for him. Second, those in which the Consul finds the complainant has a just cause, but notwithstanding his best efforts, falls to obtain redress, and admits it. Third, those in which the Corsal at the beginning finds that the cause is just, but seeing later on that there is to be no redress, discovers the complainant was entirely in the wrer g, and thus justifies his not being able to do anything for him. The two first are good Contal, and the last-we won't say what it is, nor to which category Consul Bock belong. It was the privilege
your correspondent to be present at two interviews with him, one on his arrival and one before be left. I will relate his remarks at both of these interviews. They were of the private conversation kind, and not specially intended for the public ear, but the public interest in this case is sufficiently deep to justify the step. Consciously I ball misrepresent naught, and naught set down in malice.
"Yes, gentlemen," said Consul Bock, on bis arrival, "I have already given the case a goed deal of thought, and made up my mind as to the course of aciloo to take. I shall inalat on going 10 Sungpu, and have the case tried in my pre- sence. I may not be able to walt the executions, but I will appoint a representative to ste last they are properly carried through.
