TP.MPT S'URPRIZE HIS FAMILY AND PALACE.

• - IMPERIAL NOTICE.
" An afterinit at revolulion has been made, for
which 1 I)l;tnre nry-self... 1, whose virtues are of
an infer;or class, received with much veneration
Mlle Empire ft out my Imperial Father, eighteen
wars ago. I have not dared to indulge myself
in sloth: When I ascended the throne, the sect
of the Pullen (I) shrew into rebellion four pro-
vinces, and the people suffered what I cannot bear
to t:press. I ordered'my Generals to go against
tirem, and after eight years conflict, reduced them.
to subjection: I hoped that henceforward I
Lbould have enjoyed perpetual pleasure and peace
with my children the people. Unexpectedly, on
the Gth of the f Bth Moon, the sect of Tun-lu
(i e. Celestial) reason-illunainate), a banditti of
vagabonds, created disturbances, and caused
much injury front the district of Chang-ynen, in
the province of Pa cite lie, to the district of Isaw,
in Shang-tung.. I hastened to order Wan, the
Viceroy of Pekin, !() send forth an army to ex-
terminate them. This affair was yet at the dis-
tance of 1000 Le' (a Le' is I-sth of an English
mile), but suddenly, on the sth of the 9th Moon
(IS years), rebellion arose under my own arm
- (2), the misery had arisen in my Own house (3),
a banditti of 71) persons and more, of the sect of
Teen-le, violated the prohibited Gate, and entered
withinside. They wounded,the guards, and en-
tered the inner palace.
Four rebels (robbers) were seized and bound,
three others ascended the wall with a flag ;. my
Imperial second S3n seized a musket, and shot
two of the rebels ; my Nephew, killed the third.
After this they retired, and the palace was restored
to tranquillity. For this I ant indebted to the
energies of my Imperial second Son. The Prince
and the Chief Officers of the Tong,tzung Gate
led forth the troops, anti after two day's and one
night's utmost exertion, completely routed the
rebels. The family of Ta-t zing has- continued to
rule the Empire' 170 years. My Gramfrather and
Italierial Father in the most affectionate manner
loved the people as children ; 1. ant unable to ex-
press their virtues and benevolence. Though I
cannot pretend to have equalled 'their good go-
vernment and love of the people, yet I nave not
oppressed nor ill-used my people ; this sudden
change lam unable to accomit for. It must arise '
front the low state of may virtues, and my accu-
mAated imperfections. I can only reproach my-
self. Though this rebellion has burst forth in a
moment, the seeds have been long collecting.—
Four words, ca'relessrtesS, indulgence, sloth, and
contempt (4),
_express- the . source whence this
great crime has arisen. Hence, within Side and
withoutside (5) are is the S'olle state. Though
I have again and 3 third shoe given warning', till
my tongue is blunted and my lips parched (with
frequent 'repetition), yet none of my Ministers
Lave been able to comprehend it. They have
verneil carelessly, and caused the present occur-
rence. Nothing like it occurred during the dy-
nasty of Hain Tang, of Sung, or of Ming. The
attempt of the assasintition in the close of the
dynasty, Ming, does not equal the present by
more than ten degrees.
" When I think of it I cannot bear to mention
it. I. would examine myself, restrain and rectify
my heart to correspond to the gracious conduct
of Heaven above me, to do-away with the resent-
ments of my people, who are placed beloW ate
All my Ministry (6) who would be honestly faith-:
ful to the Dynasty of Ta-tzing, must exert them-
selves for the benefit •of their country, and do
their utmost to make amends for my defects, so as
to reform the manners -of the people.
Those who can be contented tolte- mean may
bang their caps (7) against the wall, and go home
and end their days, and not sit as inactive or dead
bodies in their places to secure their incomes, and
thereby increase my crimes. • The tears fall as my
pencil writes. I dispatch this to inform the whole

Lord HowE, whilst Admiral of the Channel
Fleet, was at oue time so unpopular in the Navy,
from his supposed shyness,- that the Officers of his
o‘rn shipdeclined to drink his health at their mess.
This was a source of mortification to the Chaplain,
a protegee of his Lordship's, who took the inge-
nious mode of doing it in the following way :-

On rrferring to the Book, it was discovered that
the words were " Lord ! How." After the gin-
ri,ous first of June, the above was the favourite
toast throughout the Navy. • ,
