Account cy" (/1: trial and jiitc of the S0110?‘ beloizgu
ing to the ./Imericari 8/Ii]l Js'm:'_ly, cxcctttcd by the
Cliifzcse in Canton , »
Oti Saturday. 6th of October, 1821, the day
appointed for the trial of I"i‘anc'is 'l‘err-anova, a
scaman on board the ship Emily, of Baltimore, on
a charge of murder on the person of a Chinese
woman, were assembled on board said ship near-
ly all the American residents at Canton, the su-
pct‘-cargoes _ol' the d’i'll'eretit vessels then in port,
with their, tesjieotive captains, to witness the tri-
al of the above ‘named seaman, when the follow-
ing circuiiistnnces occurred.-
_Thc P3.l.'.-yll, or criminal judge of the district
ivi which \'Vampoa is situated, at angearly hour‘
left C-anion, and with an immense retinue pro-
ceeded to the ship on board of which the trial was
to take place. The flung merchants and lin-
.gt._iis s were also in attendance. Upon the Pan-
yu i-caching the deck of the ship, he addressed
himself to the Americans, and through the lin-
g -ist. declared that the property and the ship were
then t,inder_ his pl‘t)iCCl.i0l'|,.Eln(l any damages she
might s_u_stain.‘, he would re-imburse, upon a prop-
er _rCpI‘cScnfaliOD. VVi'h this declaration he ad-
vanced to the chair ofjndgment and took his seat.
The Hong ni_erchatit who secured the ship, and
her linguist, were then called up ; and after ma-
itig the usual protcstation, acknowledged tl;ieni-
selves in their different capacities The Pan-yu
tht‘-n ‘as—sured.us of his friendly disposition. Of his
desire to avoid rather thancreate trouble, of the
sacred duty he was about to discharge. and ‘ap-
pealed to lieaven for the judg tent of the motives
by whi‘cli himself was actuated. _. -
He then -asked what defence the Americans
were prepared to make for the prisoner. It was
replied ourevidcnce can prove that the jar, which
, is said to be the instrument that caused her death.
was safely delivered by the accused,into the hands
of the woman, and that she fell overboard at the
distance of 30 feet and upwards from the Emily;
that she was seen from on board the Hero of Mal-
own, an English vessel laying near the Emily, to
fallovcrboard uhilstgin the act of sculling lier
'boat ; and that no jar or any such instrument was
thrown at her, and caused her falling into the wa-
ter-—-that from the relative situation of the boat
with; the ship, it was impossible to strike the wo-
than on the side ofthe head, on which the wound
was inflicted ; and that the jar could never hit“?
cut the hat in the manner in which we then saw
it. \Vc declarcfd as our belief, that the woman
having been swept by the strcngtli of the ride a
distance from the ship, in her anxiety to gain her
station, had by a mis-step, fallen overboard ; and
whilst in the act, had struck her head against the
pivot ‘on which the scull moves,or-tlie sharp edge
of the boat which caused the wound upon the
head. ' . ' A
This defence we urged in a general way ; and
we stated our ability to substantiate by evidence
what we had then (lt:clai't:(l. The Pan-yu then
called for the Chinese witnesses-the husband of
the woman drowned,a woman belonging to a hop-
_po boat“alongside,‘,and two children, from 8 to 12
years ofage, who gave their etitlence on their
knees, their heads bowed to the earth. but which
the Pan-yu had never explained to us. VVe re-
quested that the woman, who appeared to be the
principal witness, should speak to us in English,
as she understood it far better than the linguist,
who from ignorance, could not explain he!‘ testi-
mony, or for fear of offending the Pan-yu, who
we-liad already discovered, had prejudged the
‘matter, and was eager for the man's conviction,
gave us incorrect statements. The request was
refused, but we were then informed that this wo-
man saw the jar thrown, and‘ihe woman fall over
in consequence of the blow. ,
We immediately attempted to convince the
Pan-yu, that from the position af the hoppo boat.
riding astern of the ship, it was impossible for this
woman to witness the transaction, and that she
had declared, before several gentlemen who were
then present, her total ignorance ofthe affalt', un-
til her attention was called to the cries of a child,
when she saw a hat ‘floating on the surface of the
water, and a man sculliiigatixiously towards it.
We urged, that as she had given‘ contradictory
statements, her evidence should be wholly dis-
pensed with. The instruments of torture. were"
then ..prodttce‘d. but not ‘applied, and the woman
interrogated by the P1111-YU, adhering to what she
had just stated, was excused by him by saying
‘she had spoken differently to gain the favor ot
the Americans, but she now spoke the truth-—il
not, he assured as Heaven would punish her.’-
We then proved that the children, produced as
witnesses, saw. nopart of the affair, as they were
brought from. shore sometime after it occurred.
To this, nor to any thing weurged. would the
Pan-yu listen, and would. invariably silence Hou-
qua and the linguist when they were explaining
our statements. He said he had seen the woman
antlthe jar liimsell‘; he believed the man guilty ;
if he had judged wrongfully it was._heaven’s bu-
siness, and in a passion rose from his chair to con-.
clude the trial... We then cornplained of his con-
duct to the f,_long-,merchan_ts, and accused them,
ofa breach of their contract, inasmuch as they
had notheard our witnesses. The Pan-yu was.
prevailed oii_ to resume his chair, and an Ameri-
can sailor was broug-ht.forw_ard, but the judge-
seemed determined not to hear him, and after
about llalf‘iil}_—.li,§Jlll‘ spentin the greatest confusion,
the Pan-"yo in a_ rage left the deck-, and repaired
on board his own boat, leaying the Hong merch-
ants and Linguists to see he was obeyed. .
Thus .conclu_de,d this mockery of justice, where
»-the Cljiiiesc had agreed to" receive foreign evi-
dence upon the same footing ‘as their own, and
equalconfidence should be reposed in them. Af-
~lei' the.Pan-yu had left the sliip,‘ the Hong~mcr-
chants, in his name, demanded the prisoner.-
VVe. expressed our dissatisfaction in the most
pointed manner, and accused-tliern of a breach
oflaith, rerriindcd them oftheir promises and en-
gagements, and expressed our conviction that the
man was prcjudgcd, and this trial was only a.
feint to obtain. possession of this person.‘ We
; notwitlistandirig. acknowledged ourselves amena-
~'ble_to thelaws of the country, and declared no

was to be the consequence. The Hong mer-
chants,h_owever,made many attempts to overreacli
us by their fair promises bf a fair trial at.Ca.nton
but experience had taught us wisdom, and we
knew what faith should be placed in their repre-
sentations. In short, we were resolute, and stri-
king the flag was the ‘ sine qua non’ of our ne-
gotiation.
When the Pan-yti discovered our resolution.
not tacitly tosubmitio his unreasonable demands,
he sent on board the ship and put Atom, the lin-
guist, in chains ; and soon after, Pacqua, the se-
curity merchant, suffered the like disgracc.—-
Sliortlyafter, in a violent passion, he left the ship
and ordered the Hong ircrch-ants to follow him to
thecity, where he would lay a statement ofthe~
case before the Viceroy of the province. ‘We
were at first greatly at a loss in accounting for the
stratit;e' and unheard of violation of every article
agreed upon‘ for the occasion;—but we have 'siiice
‘discovered, that the Hong merchants, relying;-on
the pliant and accommodating disposition of the
Americans, and their own cunning, to get posses-’
sion of the man, under almost any circumstan-
ccs, deceived the Pan-yu and us; and as the or-
gan ofcommunication between the parties, de-
livered false niessages. '
On the 7th of October, the day following the
trial, allbusiness and chopsiwith (lie Americans
were suspende(l—l’asqua and Atom were thrown
into prison, and a strong reinforcement ofsoldic-r-.
sent to*\-Vampoa, to watch more effectually llir.
movements ofthe ‘ proscribed’. Anierioans. This
state of things continued-for more than two weeks
without:"an,v communication bctwctli the parties at
issue. At length a deputation of Hong mercliztnts
waited on the committee for a further explana-
tion ofihe object of striking the flag. whiclt had
on the f'ormei- occasion prevented "them from ta-
king possession of the convict. It was repli-
ed, we believed the man innocent ; and to deliver
him to your sanguinary laws, would amount to
murder on our own part. VV_e shall therefore
surrenggr the man to nothing but force, and stri-
king the flag implies submission , besides which
it transfers the quarrel to our country,should they
feel disposed to espouse it. Vve denied our right
to deliverup any man into the hands of foreign
justice, yet readily acknowledged that the same
laws that afford pmtetztion exact proportionate re-
sponsibility. We are not. at all prepared to rc-
sist the enforcement of any law, unjust and cruel‘
as it may be-_--but though necessity makes usptlfe '
subjects‘ of your statutes, every good feeling 'fér-
bids our becoming their execut-ioners. . "
_ On Thursday, the 23d, the Americans were
apprized that onflthe following day the Chinese
would proccedin force to \Vampao, to take pos-
session ofthe convict. In consequence ofthisin-‘
formation, nearly all the supercargoes, some res-“
idents, and many captains, repaired on board the
It was clearly undettstood thatthough we rnade no
resistance,'we should look upon it nearly in_ the
same light as an act. of hostility. Early in the
‘morning of the 24th, the Hang merchants, with
their train, and a‘ la'r'ge number ‘of menbf war
boats, arrived at tlte.Emily. S0fne.l‘l0_l_Jl‘S afiel-
the Pan-yu canie aloiig-side, when some solrliers
came on board the ship, took possession of lhe
man, who made no resistance, and cotzducteclhtiii
into a man of war boat alongside the! Emily.
Thi-ir object being accomplished, they return .
ed to Canton with their pl‘lSt)nCl‘,‘ and confined
him in the‘ council house of the Coliong, where
he remained until his departure for execution.‘-—
The next day, the weather being unfavor;.ble,tlic
Mandarins performed no duty. . On the 25th his
trial commenced, with closed doors, and was con-
tinued during the day. On Saturday the Con-
chou-foo, the second man in the ‘province, with
many other m’-tndarins of (liSlillCllOl'l, attetided
for a short time, and after one hour's session this
day the trial was concluded. It is here necessa-
ry to remark, during thtf‘Wll0lC Course Of this
trial, we had noinformation oftheir proceedings.
On the 27th, (Sunday) at about 4 o'clock in the
morning, he was called up and informed that the
Viceroy required to see him; he, with many sol-
diers as attendants, proceeded as directed to the
Vicet-oy’s palace, after having partaken of some
refreshment, and thence was carried in a chair to
the place of execution ; the very spot that four
years, ago witnessed the execution of the mur-.
derers of the Wabash. It is believed. and upon
good grounds, that the unfortunate mun was ig-
norant of the fate that awaited him,"until his ar-
rival at the fatal place, where he was fastened to
across, and there strangled.
The next day his body was ,dclivercd to the
Americans, and taken to Wampoa, where it was
interred with all‘ ‘proper ceremony, and-tlie em-
bargo on the trade was at the same time repealed.
In conclusion, I shall only say‘that~"'t'fie execu-
tion of this man is in direct opposition to their
‘own laws, which expressly state, that ‘ no man
can be executed without the order of the Empe-
ror ;’ yet the Chinese evade that by saying-it was
not them, it was the rope that killed him» Their
condo ct. throughout speaks for itself without need-.
ing any comment. ’

r ‘ We have accounts from Palermo w'lii‘ch state
that onvthe‘ 9th inst. a very alarming conspiracy
was discovered in that city. It is said the revo-
lutionists intended to make a prisoner first of the
Austrian general‘ commanding in that_ place 4,. the
citadel was then to have been summoned to sur-
render ; after which an indiscriniinate massacre-
was to havetakcn place; the island to have been
declared indepcndent—divided into several dis-
tricts, and Palermo to have been the seat of gov-
ernment. The plot,’which wacto have been put
into execution on the lfltli inst. was discovered
by the pet-fidy of a priest, who is a member of
the Carbonari. 'We are as far as possible kept
ignorant of these transactions. Many wellinlor-‘
med men. herc,are of opinion that the intended
plot is a mere finesse of the heads of government
at Naples, to exercise acts of cruelty-upon a num-
ber of persons at Palermo w ho are known to be
unfriendly to the present order ofthings. Amid
the various rumors of the day, it may be relied on r
as fact, that in consequence oftliis pretend-td or
