The following is from the Orerland Friend of
Chitsa, of July 23 :
His Excellency Buen, the Literary Chancellor of
Kwangse, has mode the following report to the
Emperor relative to the bad management of affairs
and seizure of territory by the rebels in that pro-
vince. The report runs as follows:
That in the 27th year of Tams-kwang (1847) Lny-tsae-
how made a disturhance i n Kwang-se, on which occasion
many of his followers escaped punishment, and afterwards
by the carelessness of the district officers, many good men
were led to join the insurrection. The anger of his Imperial
Majesty being then roused, be thought not of the expense
but sent the great General Sae-shang-ah, to cut off the
ribs* thiokiog by a single arrow (i.e., by the slightest
movement of the army) to establish his authority. Bat on
arriving in Kwang-se, Sae-shang-th could not continue a
single scheme to overpower the rebels; undentandinp only
how to deceive the court—one day he would report a victory,
widen the next the rest merit ermine officer--411 of which was
false. Yung pen-chow, in sizes mere ball, was encompassed
by the rebels for several months, although above 100,000 sol-
diers were collected from all quarters to overpower them,
yet, Instead of exterminating the rebels, they suffered them
to march quietly away to Kwei lin too, which they imme-
diately attacked. The writer therefore humbly prays that
the said great general for having deceived 11. 1. Majesty
and involved the people in calamity by his mismanagement be
dealt with according to law. On the arrival of the Lieut.
G eeeee or Tsowminghoo, ho also proved utterly useless, for
he kept his troops in encampment, and, listening to the
words of the Censor Choceke, dui nothing but drill the troops
in their camps, and so wasted the money of his county in vain.
On the 16th day of the 2nd moon, the rebels marched
from Yunggan, without any hindrance from the imperial
troops. On the 26th day of the unto month they came to
Yangu, and Pihsha, on the 27th they reached Luhtang, on
the 28th Leangfung, and on the 29th they got to the pro-
vincial city Kweilinfoo, which they attacked for several
days. Had it not been for the email of the commander-
in-chief, to the protection of all the gate', the provincial
city would certainly have been taken possession of by the
rebels.—The writer has been obliged to refer all this, pray-
ing that your Imperial Majesty will examine the affair.

113PESIAL 31HICHIPT IN REPLY TO THE *BOTH.
In reference to the report of Lion, the Literary Chancel-
lor of Kwengse, on acoount of the gram mismanagement on
the part of Sae-shantpali, and the loss of some territory
through the carelessness of the Lieutenant-Governor Tsow-
ming-heo, I ought certainly to deal with them according to
law. Chooke, the Censor, for advising such careless ma
augment of the army, is ordered to be dismissed from his
office ; and all those officers who have been meritoriously
reported by Bee ehang-ah shall not be promoted for the
present, but will be duly rewarded after the complete
destruction of the rebels.

The extermination of the rebels shall in future be under
the direction of Chung„the governor of Haman and Boo-
pib, and Choi), the Commander in Chief of Roman. As
for the great General Sae.Shang-ah, and the Lieutenant-
Governor Tsow-ming-heo, they will be placed in the re-
spective camp., to try what they can do ; and if they will
not exert their utmost strength to cut off the rebels they
shall really be punished as they deserve, aad then it will
be useless (or them to say they have not been duly warned.
