CHINESE EDICT.

We have received, by way of Singapore, a Comtatescis
Edict, issued at Canton, of some importance, of which the
following is a. copy :
Fa, Hoppo of Canton, ke. kc. to the Hong Merchants:
In the resort of the foreigners of various nations to Canton. for
the purpose of trade, Whatever hustles* must be managed by the
.5514 issaispiaes.ias pesos scallawag' to.4osilanovankiffitibftas
the foreign factories. They are pasha( tWiale op Milt-NNW in
the same factories, and there to remain amid the business isms.
eluded, and the ships have taken their departure, when they are
required immediately to petition for a pass to proceed to Maato
and should their accounts not be wound up, they may still remain
at Alacao. They are not permitted to loiter about tet Canton.
These have already been strict mandates issued on tblli subject.
which are on record. With the esceptiors. of the inglish (the
Cotnpany's) factory, who by proceeding up to helots when the
ships arrive, and requesting a pass for lilacs° as soon as eve, the
business was concluded, have conformed to the regulations, and
concerning whom it is therefore unnecessary (*rooks say observa-
tions; the country or A nglo-lndtan, the American, and other fo-
reigners, have continued to sojourn at Canton after their bailors
was concluded. When the ships of those tuitions bed already
sailed and left the port, they asserted that there were still other
ships to come after them, thus persisting in loitering about within
the foreign factories. It is also understood, that there are foreigners
who publicly set up shops for foreign goods within the ketones.
and carry on clandestine dealings with the natives; not only is tem
be feared that smuggling may be the result of this practice, but din.
turbance and trouble may also arise from Audi intercourse as above.
It would therefore be great unkindness to foreigners were it not
severely restrained, as well as a neglect in the peaceful governments
of the district.
It is right to issue this mandate to the Hong merchants, that
they may instantly transmit it to the foreigners of all nations, re.
quiring their obedience thereto.
If they have no trading business actually in hand. he them im.
mediately embark and return home. If their accounts are yet un-
settled, let them go and wait at Alamo. They must not loiter about
under borrowed pretexts.
Should they dare to be obstinate and to oppose, let an address
sent up for their immediate expulsion. Ler inquiries be also made
concerning those foreigners who have set up shops within the fee.
tories, and who carry on clandestine dealings with the natives, what.
nation they belong to, and why the merchants have not reported
'hem. Let inquiries be immediately made on the receipt of this,
and an answer returned, that the business may be arranged. Make
no excuse for delay, for which offence punishment will be incurred.
Hasten, hasten, a special Edict.

TAOW KWING.

ANDREW WHITSON, THE KING 01, THE BEGGARS.—
An Mimes' was held on Friday last, on the hotly of this well..
known charecter, when the Jury returned a verdict, that the
ceased died of •` Apoplexy." A medical man, who was present,
on learning that none of the deceased's relatives appeared anemia
to be at the expense of burying him, Foliated the body for the Col.
lege of Surgeons, who, he said, fur the benefit of science, would con.
Bider it a great favour. The Coroner, however; put his negative
upon this proposition ; and the day afier the inquest the bear Tog
conveyed to Sr. Saviour's burial-ground, and interred in a entre
dug 14 feet in depth from the surface, over which were placed
three whet cotbns, in order to secure it effectually against the resur-
rection men.
CoatouS COINEIDENCE.—OH Monday night last, as
appears from hills circulated in various parts of the kiligdoin, a
gentleman was robbed of a pocket-book, containing eight niche.
quer bills of 1001. each, whilst sitting in the pit of Astle7's
dm-
phitheatre; for the recovery of which a reward of MIL has hero
offered. On Tuesday night last, a person came to the Angel !mi.
In this city, and went into the coach-room, where he left an tint-
' brella ; he afterwards went into the coffee-room, and took tea. and
slept at the inn that night. Just before the hoese was leeked up
fur the night, the waiter went into the coach.room, and found that
a pair of silver sugar-tongs and a silver tea-poop weir missing.
He saw the umbrella, but knew not to whom it belonged, yei,
thinking it might be a drawback on the loss of his master, he took
it to him; and on opening it several papers dropped tlivetrom,
which on examination proved to be Exchequer bills to the amount
of NW.: These Mr. Gillet locked up in his bureau. In themurn.
ing the person who slept there asked for his umbrella. which was
given to him. He opened it, and immediately said, "1 miss papas
of great value." He described these papers, which were re-aoreu
to him. in consequence of a bill being exhibited in the window of
Mr. Slatter, the bookseller, which was seen by Mr. I illett's servant,
the suspicions of Mr. Gillett were excited, and he communicated
them to Mr. Slatter, who, by inquiry, learned that a person ant*er.
ing the description of the man with tht umbrella, had left this
city by the Magnet coach. 31r. Slitter instatitly despatched Lucas,
a very active constable. in a poet-chaise, to follow him, for the pur-
pose of overtaking the coach, if poSsible ; but the coaelrirrviog
start of three hours, he did not arrive until an bour after it had
reached the Belle Savage; where he learned ti at the man had paid
his fare and abruptly left tIW place. Mr. Gillett's waiter scow.
ponied Lucas, and from the information given teethe police. relative
to the man who had The hills in his possession, the: e is but little
doubt he will be apprehended.—arihrd 11Maki.

nutes before twelve, s man, named Jeremiah lancli, erNderod on
