CHINA.

The following is the chop, or official docu-
ment, by which the trade is re-established on its
former footing :

" UANG, the late Panyu-Heen, and CHUNG, the Tung-
Kuang Magistrate, hereby issue an order to the Hong Mer-
chants.

" 'We have now respectfully received a reply from his Ex-
cellency the Governor of Kuang-Tung and Kuang-se in the
following words :
" The Treasurer and the Judge have stated in an authenti-
cated form what HUANG, the late Panyu-Heen, had stated to
them, the substance of which was contained in a Chinese do-
cument delivered to him by the Hong Merchants from the
English Chief Un.sisTox and the others, and was founded on
circumstances stated by the Hong Merchants in behalf of the
Chief and the others. It appears that the man of war has al-
ready taken away in her the foreign murderers, and has run
away back to her own country ; and the Chief at this time in-
deed appears not to have any means of ordering the delivering
up of those murderers. But it is authenticated, that the Chief
and the others have presented an official document, saying that
they will take all the circumstances of this affair, from first to
last, and write home that it may be examined into and ma-
naged.
" Further, the said Treasurer, Judge, and others, have,
founded on certain circumstances, requested and entreated that
the trade might be opened, and that indulgence might be shown,
and, as in former edicts, permission be given to all the ships to
open their hatches and carry on commerce.
" Uniting these circumstances, I, the Governor, hereby
direct the Treasurer and Judge forthwith to act in obedience
to the tenour of this, and transmit an order to the Kwang-
Chow-Too, and to the officers deputed to arrange this affair,
to issue an edict to the Hong Merchants, that they may
promulge it to the Chief, URINISTON, and the others, to re-
turn immediately to the foreign factories, and transact busi-
ness ; that all the merchant ships, without exception, are per-
m tted to open their hatches and take goods on board, to enable
them to avail themselves of the proper season, and set sail to re-
turn home. This is an extraordinary favour, arising from tender
regard to foreigners in me, the Governor, and they ought uni-
versally to feel grateful. •
" 'f hus the Governor's will has come before us the Treasurer
and Judge, and we direct that this Edict be communicated to
the Hong Merchants, that they enjoin it upon the Chief Wit-
misToN), and the others, to yield obedience thereto. Do not
oppose. • " (A Special Edict.)
Tavu Kwang, 2d year, Ist moon, 29th day."

CITY, THURSDAY EVENING.

The Courier this afternoon asserts, that there are no grounds
for disbelieving the sincerity of Turkey ; and that the Provin-
ces have been evacuated. The latest advices in the City are at
variance with this information ; and it is not improbable, that,
before a few days pass, the Courier may take credit to it-
self for communicating intelligence of a very different na-
ture. In England the Greeks have no enemies, excepting
a few Gentlemen who have become so from private interest.
—These Gentlemen, ever ready to dwell on any of the faults
of the Greeks, do not reflect that Turkish barbarity, the
sway of tyrants, and the vitiating qualities of misrule, have
reduced the sons of heroes and of philosophers to the deplora-
ble condition in which modern Greece now exists;—they do
not consider that the followers of the doctrines of Mahomet arc
sensualists from principle, and compelled to remain ignorant
from their system of religion ; they do not calculate on the rapid
progress which civilization would make in the highest gifted
portion of the earth, under the benign influence of freedom of
opinion. They do not bring into their calculations the fact,
that during nearly five hundred years Europe has been cursed
with the presence of the Ottomans, and has not received from
them one solitary improvement. They do not recal to their
memories that cruelty, barbarism, and crime have attended
their victories, and blasted the cultivated fields over which
they passed, and still less do they permit their minds to antici-
pate the immense advantages which would result to human
nature were liberty successfully to raise her hcad in European
Turkey, and civilization and knowledge to extend them-
selves amongst her inhabitants. British subjects would not
in this event tremble for their safety at Constantinople, inno-
cent hostages would not be basely murdered, the arts would
again revive, and commerce, the great friend of man, would ex-
tend her blessed influence amongst the human race. Many
Gentlemen in the city think that Turkish ignorance and pride
will yet produce that crisis in the affairs of man which must be
followed by extended happiness and comfort to the civilized
portion of the Universe.
The Consols for the July account opened this morning at 81i,
and continued dull but steady. At one time they fell to 81i,
but afterwards regained the opening price. Before the market
closed, however, the price was only 81a 1.
In Foreign Securities, the scarcity of money has created a
great flatness, and scarcely a transaction has been effected in
them. The French Rentes are noted at 91. 50. ; Prussian Bonds
are 87; old Columbian, 1004 ; and New Sixes, 83 ; Scrip, 83i,
84 ; Spanish, Old Fives, 61i ; and the New, 61A ; Danish,
874 ; Neapolitan, 724 ; Russian Metallic Fives, 77k. In Mr.
ROTHSCHILD'S New Loan scarcely any thing has 'been done,
even at lower prices. American Bank Shares are 22 ; and the
Sixes of 1815, 99 ; Chili, 804, 791, 80i.—(Morning Chronicle.)
