A Yankee Belligerent in China --Capturing Cities by Contract--The Paris Journal des Debates, in the course of a letter from Shanghai, dated August 16th; states that a number of foreign adventurers have joined the Imperial troops, and in their conflicts with the Tai Ping rebels, are achieving a desperate and bloody reputation. Among these soldiers of fortune is an American named Ward, who, it appears, agrees to capture cities by job work. The correspondent writes: Ward had collected a troop of four to five thousand Tagalog, belonging to Manilla, and about a dozen sailors from different seaports of the East. He and his men were paid by the Tou-Tai, or Mayor of Shanghai, three hundred and fifty taels, or about three thousand francs a month, and he enjoyed the title of Colonel. But that was not all.

Arrived at Tseng-Pow he gave the signal of assault, and was received by a shower of balls. But Ward is brave, and he determined to prove himself worthy the confidence of the Tou-Tai. Twice repulsed, twice he returned to the charge Climbing the walls with but about fifty of his followers, he found himself face to face with the chief of the Tai-Pings; he fired at him twice, but missed.
