On the 27th the members of council applied to Mr. Davis,

of an attack by the Chinese, the Americaa! ships of war,

kin; under any circumstance we feel soured that he will
sot tura a deaf ear to the voice of humanity, nor permit the
slaughter of the inhabitants by infuriated Chinese, should
they take reesseion of the city.
It is aid that a considerable number of Chinese have re-
turned to Memo, exprceing a desire to place themselves
under P cargoes* protection. If true, this is suspicious;
at present sot a single stranger should be permitted to enter
the city. la war the Chinese tactics are cunning and deceit ;
ems introduce a large body cf armed men, and they could
take the town at any time. The Monte and other forts might
bold eat, but eventually they wculd be st-rved into submis-
sion. The whole military form is about 450 men; they
would all be requited to man the font, and the Chinese,
once is pomegion of the town, could commit any amount of
rim Ity unopposed.

To andentend the matter clearly, we require shortly to
review the polity pursued by the Governor Amaral. The
Chin a- t nvernment since the earliest days of the settlement
claimed jurisdiction over its own subjecis; a resident man
darn 444 judicial limeys, sad another mandarin
leered taxes upon the trade cf es port. To
Porting was conceded the privilege of controlling her own
enhjects, a'd levying such tams as were required for tie
/apron of the local government. • wrens number of Por-
tuguese ships ware permitted to enter the inner harbour, but
they eau d nation, headd • new slip, a h-uot, or even a
eho-ch, without a 1 ceace from the Matitarin at Casa
Branca. With the ext. ptOn of having tics for protection
noted foreign Ingtossor, their position was little better
than that of foreigners at Bhaeghai or Amoy, in some rO.•
owls not so good. Tar small penii•ula projecting from
the lane iiand of iliangeltha is about 8 miles in circum-
!Wenn, • banter wall reusing atom the isthmus at its ear
sewn point. Within this well the Porturuess were allowed
to tales putties, but they could cot build dwelling homes
outride the city. The apses between the city well and the
bonier, teem as the campo, Las always beset
occupied by Chinese, who cultivate pert of it as
Market gardens, but much the larger portion was used
es a burying grouted. Fur the land upon which the city is
bath, P.'etsgal paid to China as annual rest of 600 teals
lariat 1251 The Canoes ocempaate of the camps were
wont to pay the mandarin a small rent for their garden
ground. Governor Pinto having bees superseded Ia 1844
was appointed commissioner on behalf of the (ante of Por-
tugal to treat impacting the rights and privileges of Macao,
its relative position towards China being greatly altered sines
the treaty of Neikirk. Keying granted erne additiosal pri•
viler+ to the settlement, permitting the inhabitants to build
sew houses, churches, and ships without a Het use : the an-
chorage of the Typa was also included within its jurisdic-
tion, but an application respective g the non-payment of the
annual ground-rent was ..Wediy refused. "To have
granted this wc lid have been to give up their lien use the
place, for the Chinni have always riguded Memo as a part
of the empire, and maintained jurisdiction over their own
subjects residing them, while they permit the P negates to
nuke
e regulations end exercise suck authority over their own
people and other foreigners as they chores.'
•
Such was the poems Macs° held with regard to China
when Governor Amaral arrived three or four years ago.
The new Roomer had evidently determined to assert the
independence of the widener. His first step in advance
was the impceitlos of a tax upon all the Chinese shipping.
The ti ,gitmea refused to pay the tax; they landed in Wee
numbers either with a view to remonstrate or intimidate,
ce both. Tney were attacked by the soldiers, and a good
many of them killed and wounded. The forts opened upon
their hosts, and about 20 of a large size were burned or
rank. About the same time a small custom hoses station
on the Prays Grande' in the *emporian of an altar em-
ployed in collecting taste from the boat people on the
Mar derinte account, wee palled down by order of the governor.
Fu lowing upon this, ends were cut through the earn" in
making which hundreds of graves were disturbed. The Chi-
nese hold the graves of their ancestors sacred, and view them
with tedium of reverential awe which footmen can neither
understand nor appreciate. The Tiller/re of the camp
were further compelled to pay rent to the Meesogovernssent,
and accept a title to the land or a lease from that govern-
ment those who refuted to comply with these terms had
their lands and houses taken from them. Fina'lly the Chi-
nese custom house was shut up, and the officers deported.
_ - - -

We need not go further into details, enough has been
given to show that Governor Amaral gave moral offence to
the Chinese govemmeat, and forfeited the respect of the
Chinese people. Hie police was that of a bold, unscrupu-
lous man, carat= of the inters, and determined to gratify
-the whim of the day. Usfortuaatily too many foreigners
applauded his bald mosenres, and he was held up to public
admiration se a man, who, with only 450 soldiers at his
command, dosed the whole empire of China. A little consi-
deration would have convinced those ardent admiren that he
was precipitating the ruin of Macao, though they could not
foresee the fearful penalty he has paid for his imprudence.
It was not consistent with Seu'e tortuous policy to declare
war against Macao, or attack it openly with the regular
army. He would not have it known that a few obscure tn.
butanes bad eat the empire at defiance, and that it was aloes.
am to OMNI them bp a military fore % The airsameense
of requiring force to aid him in controlling the labials= a
Kano would operate unfavourably upon Lis Natal= at
Pekin, end this partially explains the comparative impunity
with which Ganser Amaral was allowed to insult the em-
pire, and treat its subjects with injustice. Bea had also the
English on his hands, and the city rite question to attic;
moreover, bodies of banditti were in passed= of the
mountain passes at no great distance from Canton, threat-
ening the proeintial city itself it their numbers continued to
inerease. But the Chinese can " bide their time," and we
have no doubt that in fien's mind the fate of Meese, was de-

Aided ut.on four or Ave months ago.
The combination amongst the Guilds in co. operation with
the potty and literati—sanctioned and approved by Soa
waa instrumental in stopping the foreign trade of Cantos
Wt spring, and in breaking the engagement to open the
city pan on the 6th of April. It is well lune that the
same parties held public mating, at which the 031111111114
the governor of Macao we. dismissed, and that la NOM
pliant' with the determination mu to by the guilds, gentry,
and literati, a large run of money woe raked by voluntary
sontributiqn to defray the expense of hostile measune re•
solved upon, bat not made public. It has been currently
nPorted by the Chimes for the last three months, that
the p%triots had offend a considerable rum for the head of
Governor Amin!, and that a strong whimsy force was is
the immediate vicinity of Memo. To most of our local
maiden this rumour mut be familiar. Governor Amaral wee
not unacquainted with it sad at times, In convenation with
friends spoke of the intestine of amemnating him. It is
well known that in 1939 a large nu was offend for Captain
Elliot', head, and from strong einametantial evidence, it is
=it that a nice was lately pat open the heed of',
Amara/. About the time the swings wen hell I

Chine** Inhabitants of {spading dangers, and advised them
to leave the doomed city. The more respectable class left in
large numbers-56ms cent. to Hong Kona, others settled at
Wnampoa, and not • few went to Canton. Thu emi-
gration has been going on daring the summer
end at this present moment fry rupectable Chinese
are to be found in Hugo. Governor Amaral wee
sot altogether unaware of the storm that was brewing ; the
chimes were enrolled is a militia e.s the kits repaired,
trees at deers whisk could afford shelter to a toe near the
walls, sad s gaud established in the tempo close to the
bonier wall. The murder of the governor was probably
dammed essential to any 'ahem of operations, whether la
opts warfare, or by Ares and the onslaughts of
Ladroem, which, if frequent repeated, most ultimately
second. We have not the slightest doubt that it was by •
preeoncerted arrangement that the murder was committed.
It was well know. that their victim redoes far as the barrier
nearly every durmast ; and the murderers selected the
steady neck of land near the barrier in order that they

That the crime was imaged In Canton scarcely admits of
a doubt. The ill-used 'ilium of the campo ware too poor
to pay assassins who were above taking away gold watches ;
and had the deed been committed by themeslves, the watch
would not have been left babied, nor ye: the head taken
away. It Is pretty certain that 2t hours after the murder,
the proofs were in possession of the Canton patriots, and
gl.sted over even be Sea himself.
