taels of silver on many other officers; and has, made some
regulations, founded on the Report of the Cabinet, on
the allowance of. rice to the families of -the solders, of
the white, yellow, and blue banners. The Cabinet, re-
commended that the allowance be henceforth fixed at
60,000 shih (of about 901 b. each); , but the Emperor says
if this quantity is found to be superabundant it is to be
reduced one-half. The' manner of its distribution is to
be reported. Respect this.
PROCLAMATION BY THE THREE IMPERIAL
COMMISSIONERS,

OFFERING REWARDS FOR THE BODIES, DEAD OR ALIVE,
OF HER MAJESTY'S PLENIPOTENTIARY, BREMER, MOR-
RISON, DENT, THOM, KEA HEAPS (?)
By the Rebellion-quelling. Generalissimo Yih, and the
selected assistant great Ministers, Yang and Lung, a per-
spicuous
proclamation, to be circulatdeverywhere, con-
cerning a universal conferment of rewards.
As to the first reward, he who obtains it shall obtain
favour and honour in the eyes of his countrymen, be-
coming the most eminent of worthies ; his merit will be
extraordinary.
In crooked and difficult emergencies, then is the time
to use all men of superior talent.
The English rebels' since the past year, when they
threw in the apple of discord at Tinghae, until now have
been rebelling against Heaven, and perversely opposed
to reason ; domineering and avaricious, depending upon
their numbers, they attacked and laid in ruins the fron-
tiers, and from the profligacy of their dispositions, aban-
doned themselves to lewdness and robbery ; dug up the
graves. But what crimes had the decayed bones com-
mitted ? Burnt and laid in ruins the fields and huts ;
and the people's fat is altogether exhausted ; they
have peeled the flesh and drunk the marrow ; and the
crow of the cock and the bark of the dog are sounds that
have been cut off from myriads of families ; and chil-
dren of three cubits in height have not escaped a loss of
chastity and defilement of their persons ; and now they
have come to Canton, and with more false pretexts seek
for reconciliation, taking advantage of our being unpre-
pared, and with fox-like cunning (implying we are foxes
changed into men) they seduce both those abroad and at
home to become traitors, and with rat-like irresolution
their furtive glances are the curse of China ; this is
what causes the hearts of men both far and near to
grieve, and the middle and outside nations to gnash
their teeth.
We have received the imperial order's to apply our-
selves to one purpose only—that of subjugation, and to
lead on the troops to extermination, and rescue the people
on the frontiers out of the water and fire, and seize the
rebellious seed as the King-e* fish, devour its flesh, and
sleep in its skin.

-‘re early exhort the people to strengthen their reso-
lution, and to clap the King-e on its back and grasp its
horn; let all strenuously unite their minds and strength.
Ye civil and military officers, country gentlemen and
scholars of Canton are generally said to love righteous-
ness, and hitherto have cultivated the principles of reason,
and your whole province teems with plenty and happiness;
your resources are illimitable ; the winds and clouds
now collecting in harmony, your whole dependence is now
on excellent stratagems, and all are gratefully incited by
the desire of the Holy Lord to save his people ; you all
have Heaven's warrant for the merit of destroying all
your enemies (i. e. if you conquer the English you will
never have another equal), and to build up prosperity and
happiness in your several neighbourhoods, and again
have your names engraved for meritorious loyalty on
bamboo and silk ! and have the official patents hanging
down with pendant seals; and we, the great officers,
summons those who possess the knowledge of right prin-
ciples ; then plenty and national happiness will visit us;
and the people will enjoy the blessings of peace.
We, the Generals, hold by our oaths as water, and
grasp the laws as a mountain ; when issuing orders, we
act up to them, and will not postpone our rewards ; we
again, therefore, issue these commands, and distinctly
arrange the scale of rewards.

Repay (them) for having involved you in calamit y
and revenge those who sacrificed their lives for their
country ; when we can on the morning report your merits
to the Emperor, you will in the evening be proclaimed on
the list of the meritorious. Ye, soldiers and people, take
care not to commit yourselves as the Chusamites ; then,
perhaps, you will be as firm as the rocks, in the pearly
sea ; let each obey this implicitly ; slight it not. A
special proclamation.
The lbllowing is the scale of rewards.
Any one, either of the military or the people, who
seizes and delivers up Elliot, shall be rewarded with
100,000 dollars, and reported for promotion to the 4th
degree of rank.

Those who seize and deliver up Elliot's subordinates,
Bremer, Morrison, Dent, Thom, Kea Heape (?) shall be
rewarded with 50,000 dollars, and be reported for pro-
motion to the sth degree of rank.
Those who concoct a plan for burning the English
barbarians' ships of war, with reference to the number
of their masts—at the rate of 1,000 dols for one mast ;
fora schooner 3,000 dols.

Those who seize alive any head thieves (captains, &c.,
of Majesty's ships ?) besides the settled scale of rewards,
if there are any goods on board the ships they shall be
divided among the captors ; the rest of the nations which
continue respectful and obedient are allowed to continue
their trade as usual ; and the military and people must
not seek causes of quarrel with their ships, in order to
manifest a distinction (between the obedient and dis-
obedient.)
_ _

If any 'dare obstinately to oppose, they shall be heavily
punished, without any remission.
Those who seize a steam-vessel shall be rewarded
with 6,000 dollars, and her cargo shall be divided
amongst them, and their services shall be esteemed as of
high military merit.
Merchants of any foreign nation who seize and deliver
up Elliot, and aid China in the meritorious work of ex.
terminating the English, shall be rewarded as follows,
under the season's regulations ; they shall be reported to
be released from half the usua duties, in order to rouse
them to exertion :

Those who are thoroughly acquainted with the dispo-
sitions of the barbarians, and can outwit by stratagems
their adherents, or cut off their race, or make fire uten-
sils and vessels to destroy the lives of the barbarians,
will be all allowed great merit ; if they wish to become
public officers, they shall be reported for that purpose ;
if they do not wish to become public officers, they shall
be rewarded with 20,000 dollars.

Those who seize alive a native born Englishman shall
be rewarded with 200 dols.; those who cut off an
Englishman's head shall receive 100 dols.; for a live
native of India, 50 dols.; and for his head 30 dols. will
be given.

Various rewards and remissions of punishments for
crimes committed are then promised to various natives
for seizing and killing Englishmen, and also punish-
ments for those who use our goods or supply us with
necessaries; but want of time obliges us to defer their
translation until the next publication of the Register.

PROCLAMATION BY IHE LADS OF THIRTY-SIX VILLAGES
ROUND CANTON, TO THE ENGLISH BARBARIANS.

The inhabitants of the provincial city of Canton and
of each of the villages and hamlets clearly proclaim to
the English barbarians as follows:
This proclamation is issued because you have opposed
the troops of the celestial dynasty, entered and attacked
places in the inner waters ; this proves your utter disre-
gard of the laws ; and it is also well know!). that Elliot
and his colleagues are stupid people, who wish to change
our manners by new-fangled and exotic doctrines ; and
although we are but small country people, we are still
les en fans of the Emperor, who are regardful of our-
selves and of our families, and also of our native country
and possess hearts that to the last cherish our fathers
and mothers. The defence of our native place and of
ourselves and families was first committed to the care of
stout and valourous soldiers ; but now, being excited and
united by one feeling of indignation, why should we
trouble the public officers to grasp their spears, for at one
war-cry numberless excited bands (men), will gather
together---
Whose swords are a thousand, whose bosoms are one;
who of themselves will be equal to the slaughter of your
hated species.
We are true to the last of our blood and our breath.
And like reapers descend to the harvest of death.
Then welcome—
But woe to your kindred and woe to your cause,
When China her weapon indignantly draws.
At this moment ye are e
secretly practisinc, diabolical
arts; and, unnaturally profligate as the the bird, ye have
usurped possession of Hong Kong, and have hoped to
seize the taxes of Government. It is authenticate d that
when ye were at Tinghae, ye debauched men's wives and

King-e—a fabulous fish ; used figuratively for a devouring
conqueror of
men.—Morrison's Diet•• 2 057 •

daughters; and all your proceedings have been lawless.
The measure of your crimes and wickedness is full, and
how can we, the people of the province, sit still and wit-
ness the seizure (of the 5,000,000 of dollars). Hitherto
we have hidden ourselves, and have not raised our heads;
all being on the verge of terror and not in will and deter-
mination together united; but henceforth, we have all
bound ourselves by a solemn oath; yet being impeded by
the peaceful measures of the public officers, we did for a
short time retire to our different villages, not presuming
to join battle.
Hitherto we have practised the sacred precepts that
have been handed down to us ; and we are perfectly well
versed in the great principles of righteousness ; and in the
vague and unpractised duty of defending ourselves and
families, although we are not much more than a set of
blockheads, yet is the will and determination of the mul-
titude in the city—from beginning to end—on all points,
without difference or change.
How can it be, think ye, that we have asssembled and
united merely because ye have arranged your battalia ?
Now, after the publication of this proclamation, if you
still continue morally unawakened, and adhere to your
stupidity, and again tread in your old footsteps, we
will forthwith prepare our lances and tri-forked
spears, and forming ourselves into an army of right-
eousness, with our strata„oists to form plans, and the
whole united and exerted strength of our stout and
valiant youths—then, when we but once uplift our
hands, will the pearly Canton River be tranquillised ; for
if we form our plans of ambush, then even the very
devils themselves will not be able to fathom them ; as it
is our imperative duty to expel, sweep out, and purify
(our land of the English), and thus prevent a shred of
your sails from returning to your country ; and thus
shall we illustrate to the whole world the great princi-
ples of righteousness, and further, the black-haired
people will be again restored to their original occu-
pations.
Ye, in your depraved, licentious nooks of places, we
certainly apprehend, have not yet attained to a thorough
knowledge—of our oath and our intentions ;it is right,
therefore, with speed to disseminate the 'same to all of
your race. Ye are all ordered to obey implicitly and not
involve yourselves in a too late repentance.—A Special
Proclamation, 4th Moon, 13th day (June 2.)
