CHINA.

(Translated from a Pekin Gazette.)
It has been stated to his MAJESTY, that a
foreign tribe of shepherdt on the north-west
corner of China, included in the province of
Kansuh, has suffered severely from a fall of snow.
The people in light houses have perished by, it
and the whole of their cattle. Ninety-two fami-
lies yet remain, and on these the Emperor corn,
mantis that there shall be no dutiAs levied for
three years to come.
IMPERIAL MANDATE.
The following mandate from the EMPEROR has been re.
ceived :
" The manners of the Mungkoo Tartars were heretofore
plain and correct, since the laws in existence among them
were lenient. But of late ears many Chinese have passed into
Mungkoo Tartary, and crimes have been more frequent.
I " t is, therefore, hereby ordered, that when any Chinese of
Mungkoo Tartar ;hall be convicted of crimes they shall be
punished according to the Chinese laws."
(From another Gazette.)
BANDITTI PARDONED.—About a hundered families in the
neighbourhood of the capital have been proved to be attached
to a particular association. They have, however, come fora
ward to declare their recantation, and have been pardoned. A
list of their names, however, is taken, in order that if again de'
tected they may,bernoreseverely punishedthan they would have
been without a previous klardon. Chag,n the Judge of Shantung
and Conductor of the English Embassy when in the province
of Chin-le, has been degraded to a verylow rank, accomPanted
by some very severe animadversions from the Emperor for his
incapacity and bad government. The Emperor himself has
attended to the examination of the higher departments of the
literati this year, and has heard them read on various classical
authors. As might be anticipated, some have been promoted

quite unable to write verses. The Emperor remembers well
that his august father, the late Emperor, examined him .when he
