properties. It has been adopted by the Paris Academy of
Medicine after more than a thousand trials in Paris and the

St. Bartholomew's, under the care of Messrs. Lloyd, Poland,

ho
distant from Shanghai. I have now to
detail the particulars
of the operation.
" On the day after the capture of Tsing-poo the force
proceeded in small country boats to Na-jow, where it ar-
rived on the 16th inst. This town was found to be strongly
entrenched and stockaded, about two miles in circumfer-
ence, with an outwork commanding it, and a creek which
ran into the town. I decided upon shelling the defenders
out of the outwork and establishing a breaching battery on
its reverse. Two French naval 30-pounders, six Arm-
strong guns, and four mortars were accordingly got into
position, and opened fire at five o'clock on the evening of
the 17th inst., and in an hour, the outwork having been
rendered untenable, a storming party, composed of 250
men of the 31st regiment, and the same number of French
Chasseurs and Marines, advancing to take possession,
dashed through it under a brisk fire of matchlocks and and, finding a pathway through the stakes and planks
over the ditches right up to the wall, took advantage thereof,
and got into the place by climbing through the embrasures
or over the stockades.
"It was during this advance that the French Naval
Commander-in- Chief, Admiral Protet, whose death I have
already reported, wan killed.
" As it was of irepOrtance that this place should be held
.until the Chinese authorities should place a garrison in it,
200 British and 120 French troops were left there.
" A return of casualties is appended, marked A.
" On the 18th inst. the force marched for Cho-lin, six
miles from Na-jow, the guns, provisions, and baggage be-
ing conveyed in country boats, it being found impracticable
to make arrangements for the transport by land, owing to
the numerous canals and very narrow bridges which inter-
sected the line of march.
" Cho-lin is a walled town, three miles in circumference,
surrounded by a wet ditch, and situated about one mile
from the sea.
On the morning of the 19th inst. the garrison was ob-
served to be engaged in destroying some houses, distant
about 80 yards from the walls, and close to a small en-,
trenchment which was placed between those houses and the
walls. As these buildings were of value to me for cover, I
directed that they should at once be taken possession of;
which was done by a company of the 67th Regiment, under
cover of the fire of two British naval 32-pounders from the
front, and an enfilading fire of two Armstrong guns, from
the right.
" A creek running directly into the ditch under the walls
afforled means of passing boats along, and so establishing
a bridge for the passage of the assaulting parties.
" During the night of the 19th two British naval 32-
pounders, two French naval 30-pounders, six Armstrong
guns, and five field-pieces, were placed in position, The
Arnistrongs on the right, to enfilade the wall, and the other
guns in front of our position for breaching purposes.
"At daylight, on the 20th, the guns opened fire, and at
6 a.m. two breaches having been made, a bridge was estab-
lished, and the troops entered the place without opposition.
"I forward a list of casualties, marked B.
"On the evening of this day, and as we were preparing
to advance on the next rebel town, news reached me from
Shanghai that the Imperialist troops in the neighbourhood
of Xading had advanced beyond that place, and been com-
pletely cut up or taken prisoners by the rebels ; that Kading
itself, garrisoned temporarily by the allies, was invested;
that the town of Woo-sung was threatened, and that the
Chinese authorities had declared themselves unable to meet
their engagement to place garrisons in the towns we might
capture.
"Under these circumstances, I decided upon returning
to Shanghai, to reopen communication with Kading, where
provisions and ammunition were running short.
" On the 24th inst. 1 left Shanghai with the force detailed
in the accompanying statement marked C, and arrived at
Nai-zain, six miles from Reding, the same day. All the
guns, ammunition, and provisions, owing to the impossi-
bility of carrying them across narrow bridges over innume-
rable canals, being conveyed in boats in charge of the Royal
Navy. The day succeeding our arrival at Nai-zain, and
while the boats were, in consequence of the lowness of the
tide, unable to reach us, the rebels, who appeared in very
great force, attacked in the town in front and flanks con-
tinually during the day, and eventually in the evening made
a movement round to our rear towards the boats. In all
these attacks they were driven back with loss, the casualties
on our side being but few—namely, one sepoy, 22d Punjab
Native Infantry, killed, and four Eepoys of the same corps
wounded.

" The night following these attacks, one side of a street
in Nai-zain (in which were housed a few gunners R.A.,
and the Chinese Gun Lascars Company) fell down, killing
19 and injuring 75 of the Chinese, and three men of the
Royal Artillery. This accident is attributed to the coolies
having made use of some of the timbers of the houses for
firewood.

" It now appearing that the difficulties of transport were
very great, that the boats (our sole means for conveyance)
were constantly grounding in the shallow creeks, while the
enemy continued to hover round us, rendering a lengthened
line of boats most dangerous and difficult to protect, and
taking into consideration the harassing nature of the ser-
vice for the troops at the present season, together with the
fact that the Chinese authorities had declared themselves
unable to garrison the captured town as they had engaged
to do, and seeing that the occupation of Kading alone did
not prevent the rebels from ravaging the country between it
and Shanghai, I resolved upon withdrawing the garrison
from that place, and accordingly sent a column of 500 men
and four mountain guns, under Lieut.-Colonel Stanley, sth
Bombay Native Infantry, to 'lading, with instructions to
bring the garrison out, and return to Nai.zain ; this opera-
tion was performed without a casualty, the rebels retreating
before the column as it advanced.
" On the 28th inst. the force returned to Shanghai.
" The accompanying copy of a letter (marked D) I have
addressed to her Majesty's Minister at Pekin will show you
that the Chinese authorities are scarcely able to make any
effort whatever for their own defence, and that with the
force at my command I feel, under present circumstances,
unable to do more than protect the city of Shanghai itself.
" The rebels are now in force, investing Tsingpoo and
Soong-Kong, and have marauding parties ten miles from
Shanghai, driving in the country people and burning their
houses in every direction. I apprehend, therefore, that the
crops will remain ungathered, and that famine must be the
consequence.
"As Shanghai, if attacked, will, I consider, require all
Part of the country for its de-
the available troops in this
fence, I shall retain the whole of the troops leaving Tien-
tsin until I receive your instructions.
" I have, &c.,

Her Britannic Majesty's Troops in China.
