IMO A rusricupus PROCLAMATION.

"It appears that of late years the Clnton Ilong trier-
chants have repeatedly shut up and stopped, and now there
scarcely remains seven houses:
"Yen, the late Heppo, reported this to the emperor, and
his Majesty's pleasure was received, saying, If there be
men of substantial property who are willing to become
merchants, it is permitted that they make the experiment.'
" I, the Governor, acting also as Hoppo, have already
twice commanded the Hong merchant* to select substantial
men, that their bonds might be received. The whole of
the customary &es were to be remitted, 'and the servants
would not be allowed to extort a ctndereen. I likewise
ordered that hereafter, when new merchants became by
degrees numerous, and there was no impediment to public
affairs, then if a merchant were already inadequate he
might be allowed to petition, with a request to retire.
" Supposing that the merchants are not all to be fully
acquainted with this, or will net come forward from en
apprehension that it will be necessary to expend large
sums of money, and that after they had become merchants
they would be unable to retire, I therefore issue these
commands to the merchants, people, &e., for their full in-
formation.

" If there be men of substantial property who are wil-
ling to become !long merchants, let them forthwith re.
pair to my gateway with their petitions, and I will imme-
diately order an investigation into the real parts, and grant
permission for them to become merchants. The whole of
the fees at the Iloppo's office shall be altogether remitted,
and on becoming a merchant it will not be necessary to
upend so much as even a thread or a hair, which will be
a great benefit to their capital. After they become mer-,
chants, if they are really unable to manage their business,
are of no benefit to • the public affairs, and if the Officers
of the Government all dislike them, they may retire' of
their own accord, without requesting leave to retire.
" I, the Governor, from a desire to reinstate the af-

Girl of the Hong merchants, do not dee►n it a trouble to
inculcate this impressively by a perspicuous proclamation.
" You, merchants and people, must be careful not to
cherish suspicious doubts, and look about, without coming
forward.

" Do not oppose..
" A special Proclamation.
Taou Kwang, 9th year, 11th month, 6th day."

By' way of the Cape we have this , morning ac-
manta from the Swan River Settlement. A census
had been taken, and the number 'dem& in the eolorw
was found to be 1,500. This included the cimil and
military establishments, and the crews of the ship-
ping in the harbour. The situation of the eolony
,for commercial intercourse, is allowed to be unri-
valled; Several ships' had touched on their Way to
and from India, and Cockhuin Mettler waSconsi-,
dered by ell naval men as Avery secure harbour; the
entrance' was, however, narrow. Gage's Roads were
considered'unsafe when the wind blew from N. W.
The natives, it was agreed by all who had traversed •
the country, were few in number, endironternptible
as to their means of annoyance. They were very
familiar withthe settlers when they met them, even
when single. They were nearly naked; were much ,
alarmed at approaching the dogs, . horses, and
horned cattle; very averse to .having•their females
seen, and are great and expert thieve.. The town
of Freemautle consists for the most PM of
tents, but contains several good wooden houses.
Perth bad several houses and public offices,
neatly built of wood, and a temporary chureh
had been erected, at which Archdeacon Score,
who had landed there on his- way to India, pdp.
formed divine service twice every' Sunday, The
Colonial Chaplain had, arrived out.:
_There was not
a single beast of prey except the native dog, a very
cowardly
anion's], only dangerous. to sheep and
poultry, and very ieldom seen. The only quadrupeds
of chase were three or four kinds of kangaroo and
the kangaroo. rat. Two or three varieties of poison.
owl maces and scorpions were also reported to have
heerYseert. The musquitos were eery troublesome just
after sunset, and ants were numerous in some places.
