UNPARALLELED ATRoCITY.--lt is stated


in an English paper, the Stamford Mercury,
on the authority Of letter from private,


John Lum, dated the 9Th Of March, giving
some account of the battles last December,
on the banks Of Sutlej, that on the morn
ing succeeding the battle. Of the Goth, the
British soldiers commenced hanging all
the prisoners, which dreadful work occu-
pied nearly the whole day! This unparallel-
ed attrocity, excelling far the shocking bar
barity Of the French in Algiers, and if true
must stamp with indelible iniamy the names
Of those who authorised it, 1t is not the
only outrage upon humanity committed dur
ing the Seik war. Every reader will re-
member the cool barbarity with which it
was announced that the British artillery
posted itself upon the banks Of the river
which the routed Seks in their flight had
TO cross, and there shot them down in thou
sands as they attempted to swim the stream
whose waters became red with the blood
Of the victims so inhumanly slaughtered
The conduct Of our own troops in the bat
ties on the Rio Grande will contrast proud
ly for its humanity and forbearance towards
an unfortunate foe, with these accounts OF
the British troops, given in their own Jour-
nails. Yetthe English journals calls us bu /
half civilized.
