SECRET MEMORIAL TO THE
EMPEROR OF ciiiN-A.
(From the Canton Press.)
The Imperial Cammissiouer Yuskeen, Lleutenant-
Gavernor of Ke angsoo, lays this m mmorial before the
Great Emperor, praying that he will Lentos: thsreoa a
sacred glance.
Last year when the English foreigners arrived off
Teen-tsin to hand up their statement of (alleged)
grievances, their ships scarce exceeding five in num-
ber, and the place where they anchored was at Kookow
(the mouth of the Peiho) a long way off the city of
Teen•tsin ; yet Keshcn in his fright and trepidation
declared that " they were within the very precincts of
the imperial residence of Shing-king (or Muk-den)
and that it behoved us to act with the utmost cau-
tion, as the whole of the coast of Che-keang had
been taken possession of." And he also said, " that
the ships which were coming after those were without
number, and that the whole of the country north and
south would be thrown into confusion," &c. ; thus
seeking to abuse the Imperial ear, scheming thereby to
gloss over and conceal his utter want of preparation to
meet the enemy.* And moreover he sent presents
of bullocks and wine to the foreign soldiers, and ap-
pointed officers to say fine things to them. The
consequence of which was that the mandarins of Che-
keang and Shantung followed up his vicious example by
an unbroken series of banquets, until these rebellious
robbers, who had stormed and plundered one of our
walled cities, came to be viewed as guests ! So much so
that Teo-H.wuy Poo, the Lieut.-Governor of Shantung,
shuffling over the matter says, " The said foreigners
being delighted, formed a circle and made obeisance !"
Now, I find that the said English foreigners are most
stiff in the loins, and most straight in the legs, so much
so that even when they see the King of their country
they make no obeisance whatever. During the reign
of Keaking they came to Peking, and their Am-
bassador (Lord Amherst), because he could not
kneel down and make an obeisance, was driven forth
and sent home to his country. This is a circumstance
that may clearly proved at any time ; and such being
the case, how could it possibly happen that after having
stormed and plundered a city, and given a rein to their
madness and perversity, on presents being made them at
Shantung, officers and soldiers should form a circle and
perform obeisance? This disgraceful piece of busi-
ness, which has tarnished the honour of our country,
which has given rise to expressions intended to dupe
and betray the too-confiding Son of Heaven (i. e. the
Emperor), and which has made us a laughing-stock to
those without as well as those within, had all its origin
in the foolish way in which affairs were then conducted
at Teen-tsin ; and this crime of being thrown into con-
sternation and using deceit, is the FIRST charge that I
bring against Keshen.
After that the said foreigners had returned to Can-
ton, their haughtiness got more unbearable than ever,
and their greed and desire of extortion still greater
than before. Every day the matter became more ur-
gent : Keshen at that time filled the highest rank, and
ought imediately to have assembled together Tartars
and Chinese, land troops, sailors, and militia ; he ought
in his own person to have gone to the forts at the
river's mouth, to have vigilantly guarded the most
important passes, to have published a scale of rewards
for meritorious conduct, to have taken every means to
inspirit his officers and men. But unable to be foremost
to conquer them, he waited quietly till the robbers
could conquer them, and then he could do nothing but
find fault with the Brigadier, how that he was
wanting in courtesy, and how that lie made those
and those mistakes, but took not the slightest precau-
tions either for active warfare or for defence. The offi-
cers thus had no honour left them to fight for, the men
lost heart altogether, and the foreigners, seizing the op-
portunity when they were off their guard, suddenly
fired off their guns and muskets, attacked and got pos.
session of the forts, and cut our troops in pieces.
Besides from two o'clock till four o'clock, P.M., in
the space of a couple of hours, be made two dif-
ferent reports of the case, and speaking of our troops
he uses the expression, "It is impossible for a
handful of men to fight a multitude !" Now I find that
at Canton, although the guns mounted in our ships
of war may not be so fierce and strong as those of
the foreigners, yet as regards our land troops, there is
the (Tartar) garrison of the provincial city, there are
soldiers of the Viceroy's standard, those of the
Fooyuen's standard, those of the (Chinese) General's
standard and the naval militia drawn from the sea-coast,
forming a total of several tens of thousands of men,
much more than ten times the number of the robbers.
fee the whole number of the foreign robbers now at
Canton does not exceed- several thousands, and the
fireign soldiers only made use of two pointed fighting
ievil's ships (steam-boats !) which cannot carry at the
most above a few thousands !—thus Keshen might
(tinily have despatched a body of troops to cut off their
Osstieat and annihilate them, but how happens it on the
, other hand that he allowed a thousand and more of
1 thh foreign banditti to go round the bill, and then
I ift:inapt to explain it away by saying that " a handful
drMen could not fight a multitude ?" Keshen being
lit_`. to every sense of fear and shame, whenever the
laubjezt of the total want of military preparation and
'de' fence at Canton is introduced, excuses himself by
laying the blame at the door of former Viceroys. I
should like him to reflect for a moment, for upwards of
asyear and more before he arrived to fill the office (of
,Viceroy of Canton) those very soldiers of Canton pro-
vince had repeatedly slaughtered these same foreigners
and gained a succession of victories over them ;t they
Irad burned many of their ships and driven the rest far
°netts the ocean, where they dared no longer to come
prying
and spying about the coast ; all these (heroic)
deeds were done without requiring to draw troops from the
other provinces, and yet we never heard of such a thing
as the army losing heart or their valour being blunted!
This crime, then, of being absent from the post of
danger, of making no preparation to resist the enemy,
and thereby tarnishing the honour of the country, is
the SECOND charge that I have to bring against Keshen.
Although we had unfortunately lost the forts of Tai-
kok and Sha-kok, still there remained to us no less than
eight fortified places in and about the Bocce Tigris.
Of these, the Wei yuen fort (Lower Annung-hoy ?) the
Kung koo fort (Upper Annung-hyy ?) and the Yung
gan fort (Wangtong ?) stand tripod fashion on the sides
of three hills, and are secured by strong iron chains
thrown across. The difficulty of skipping or flying over
these was as great as heaven itself! that was the mo-
ment-when he ought promptly to have stationed valiant
marine soldiers there to make a stout defence, he him-
self ought to have galloped to the spot to take the
command, and give orders for the disposition of the
troops, thereby to set men's minds at rest and infuse
ardour into his soldiers ; while he did all this on the
spot, he ought at the same time to have sent a commu-
nication to seize the golden opportunity of putting the.
invaders to the sword and getting back our own terri-
tory, in this way rendering the head and tail (i. e. the
Canton division and the Tinghae division) of the ban-
ditti incapable of rendering each other's support or as-
sist ince. At that time there were only some 20 odd
ships at Tinghae, and the half of those were merchant-
men ; besides, neither Elliot nor Bremer had returned
to Chekeang, and the whole affairs there were left
under the charge of a single footseang or brigadier.:
Moreover, after that Elliot had captured the forts he
left his ship and went on shore. What a glorious op-
portunity that was to have seized him ; but the very
reverse is the case, for we find that in all the documents
he has sent up to Court he does not say a syllable about
the plans he is laying to exterminate the English, or
the measures he is taking for defence, but again and
again urgently begs that the troops may be delayed,
and words to that effect, and makes use of dangerous
expressions (threats?) wherewith to back Isis memo-
rials to your Majesty. And, further, he writes up to
E le poo, at Chekeang, in the most importunate man-
ner, desiring that he will not advance with his troops, and
immediately follows this up by the gift of Hong Kong,
and an arrangement by which the English are at once per-
mitted to re-open their trade at Canton city. Thus, not
only does lie act in the very teeth of the recorded will
of the late Emperor Kaou tsung-shun (i. e. Keen-lung)
but ho does not even wait until Tinghae had been re-
stored, when he ought humbly to have begged the ma.
nifestation of the Imperial pleasure to see whether
3 our Gracious Majesty consented to the terms or not.
By this arrangement, the foreigners first got a port
secured to them, and afterwards they restired Ting-
hae—thus, as it were, trucking one portion of our terri-
tory against another, and methinks:thereby the Celestial
dynasty obtained a great accession of dignity ! In
another point of view, he first permitted the English
to re-open their trade, and gave them their territory,
and afterwards informed your Majesty of the transac-
tion ; thus putting those acquisitions on some other
footing than a manifestation of Imperial goodness!
In fine, these said rebels, having seized by force one
of our walled cities, having slaughtered our soldiers
and civilians, and having spread their poison among
our common people, their crimes could not be greater—
their cup of iniquity was filled to the brim ; and yet,
to put all this on one side, as if it were nothing to
act madly and perversely to the degree he has done,
involves Keshen in the crime of undue assumption of
your Majesty's power ; and this is the THIRD charge
that I have to bring against him.

GLOBE.---The late Government demonstr Led that
taxation had reached its utmost limit of production, er'
that, to endeavour to raise the reverem by aiding to th,
imposts already existing, would be to increase th
burd2ns of the people, and to diminish, instead of en-
hancing the national income. 'fence they proposed an en-
tire revision of the import duties, with a view to theh
equalization. This, they eoatendtel, would give an impetie
to our paralyzed trade and commerce—provide employ-
ment for the thousands of our operative manufacturers
deprived of employment, and consequently of the means
or adequate subsistence—and thus meet the exigencies
.of the State in the only way in which they can be met,
without greatly increasing the distresses and inflaming
the (discontents of the people. In this course, in which
prudence enforced the dictates of patriotism, the late
Ministers were opposed and defeated by the combined
forces of the monopolists. The -interests 'of the com-
munity were sacrificed at the shrine of selfishness ; and
thousands of families doomed to privation, and many
more to want verging. on starvation, that the class-in-
terests might maintain a doubtful advantage. The tables
before us confirm the views taken by the late Govern-
• went ; and, notwithstanding the clumsy and ill-timed
I•gratulations of the Post, will go far to convince the
country that it is approaching a gulph which can only
be avoided by interposing measures similar to those
proposed by the late Government—measures which a
considerable portion of Sir Robert Peers Government
have expressly denounced, but for which the Premier is
evidently reserving himself. To the Cabinet the an-
nouncement of such intentions will be fatal.
STANDARD.—Where was Elliot ? This is a ques-
tion which, a few weeks ago, would have received an-
swers from every place in which profitable patronage
could be dispensed, as numerous as tlipse that replied to
the call " Mr. Smith is wanted," in tte pit at Drury-
lane. At present our question is more definite, " where
was 3811iot ?" we mean the Elliot—the man who sold the
honour of the British name and the fruit of British gal-
lantry and skill for certain bags of dollars—the man placed,
as it appears, by the late Ministry, in the chief command
of the naval and- military forces in the Chinese seas
—where was he on the 24th of May, a day by the way,
doubly auspicious, as the birth-day of our Queen, and as
the commencement of a series of victories glorious to her
arms? Where was Elliot on the 24th of May, and on
the three following days? As yet we believe no one is
able to answer the question. All we know is, that he was
he-, been if he was to exercise,
as unhappily he did exercise, the command of the expe-
dition. He was not with Sir H. Gough, he
Sir H. Senhouse, he was not with the army or the fleet
that he commanded. He was at some place so distant
that a naval officer had to ride hard a whole night
to carry his communications to the military and
naval commanders. The gentleman in question, it is
true, mistook his road ; hut a man used to move by
the compass could not have mistaken it for a whole
night unless he had been under the guidance of some
mischievous " Tony Lumphin," which is not pre-
tended. Looking to the event, one is sorry, not
that he missed his way, but that he found it
so soon. But three quarters of an hour later, and
the British flag—the glorious red crosswould have
waved over Canton—not, as the Globe tenderly sug-
gests, at the expense of • hewing through solid columns
of human flesh. We wonder where were our con-
temporary's fine feelings when the explosion at
Acre was announced—not at the expense of hewing
through solid columns of human flesh—the columns
would have found themselves feet soon enough—but with
the advantage of disarming and dispersing some scores
of thousands of enemies that have been permitted to re-
tiro with their arms, and in perfect organization, in order
to take up a more favourable position—with the greater
advantage, too, of dictating terms from Canton—terms
which dictated from that place must, have been accepted,
and must have put an end to the war. But we repeat
cur question, "where was Elliot ?" Why was he not
with the expedition that he commanded?
COURIER.—The more remarkable feature in these
revolutionary developments in Spain consists in the cir-
enmstance, which would now seem to be decisively esta-
blished, of the league and united co-operation of the
Carlists with the Christinos. Ilerein is the special peril
for Espartero, for of herself it may truly be said that in
Spain the partisans of Maria Christina are neither
numerous nor powerful of themselves. There is no
principle which they represent, and consequently no com-
mon bond of action. They consist for the most part of
men whose selfish and ambitions views have been dis-
appointed, or whose envy and hatred have been stimu-
lated by the extraordinary advancement and aggrandise-
ment of Espartero, the fortunate soldier, so lately their
equal only, or their inferior in station, and now supreme
Dictator of Spain and the Indies. These, with the in-
termixture of a few adherents to the ex-Regent from
mettiveS of personal regard, and few. they are,,for her
conduct of late years was not calculated• to increase the
nem-her or retain even all those before attached, con-
stitute the whole of the so-called Christino party. The
Mederado party, as wretchedly represented by men of
tainted character and broken fortunes, or of an ambition
as unprincipled as they are destitute of capacity, such
RS the Isturizes-and Torenosi can bring no accession
of strength to whatever .party-they espouse, but on the
reverse must be an element_ of weakness and- discou-
ragement, so odious have they rendered them-
selves in the eyes of the_ whole nation by their i
former-career of corrupt 'misgovernment, or. scandalous
betrayal of principle. The case is widely different with
the Carlists and the ClergY, embodied privately.. and.
publicly as a united compact mass all over the kingdom,
imbued with the' sarrie convictions, animated fin. contest
by the same passions, prejudices, and interests, with
wrongs to revenge, rout to retrieve, and former ascend-
ancy to regain_ How this most powerful of all Spanish
parties may have been beguiled into strict alliance with
former deadly foes, it is hardly necessary to inquire, for,
in truth, it is no uncommon event in the history of con-
tending parties and civil warfare to, find ancient foes
combining to sink mutual jealousies and disputes, and
making joint-head against the one irresistible power by
which both had been vanquished, and were forcibly held
in subjection. It is, however, impossible not to suspect
the existence of French agency and intrigue in the work
of this singular combination, the• quid pro quo of whiCh '
may consist in a pre-concerted match -between one of '
the sons of Louis Philippe and the younequeen Isabella,
by which the favourite saying of Louis XIV. that
it n-y a plus de Pyrennees, might more truly be rendered
a reality than even in the days of the Grand Konarque ;
or, it may be, that the disputed rights of succession are
to be merged and amalgamated in the marriage of the
eldest son of Don Carlos with the little Queen. This,
it is known, was always the favourite project of Zeaßer-
mudez, who, we see, is spoken of in the Paris Press as
one of the advisers of Maria Christina.

Mr. DENIsoN, in returning thanks on " the Health
of the Members for the County" being drunk, said it
was most gratifying that men of all political opinions
could meet together in support of such associations as
this, and whether they were desponding Whigs or tri-
umphant Tories, in that room all differences subsided,
and they united in one common object to improve the
condition of the labouring population, and to benefit the
community at large.
Mr. TROTTER next addressed the meeting, and, al-
luding to the recent return of the population, said that
the increase that had taken place in the last ten years
was only equal to one-half of the increase of the pre-
ceding ten years. Between the years 1821 and 1831
the population increased 15 per cent., whereas by the
last return an increase of 71 per cent. only was shown.
Although, however, the increase was only 71 per cent.,
yet he found, upon a calculation he had made, that,
reckoning three-quarters of wheat to an acre, which was
rather a greater average than perhaps ought to be cal-
culated upon, it would require the produce of 38,000
additional acres of land to supply the wants of that in-
creased amount of population. He therefore begged of
all who heard him, whether landlords or tenants, never
to forget the importance of increasing the produce of
the soil, and to recollect that if they wished to aboid
the importation of foreign corn, they must provide suf-
ficient food for the population of the country, and if they
effected this, they had a right to ask for protection for ,
the skill and science they employed ; but they were
bound as landholders, farmers, or labourers, to show
that nothing had been neglected to effect the important
object he had alluded to.
The CHAIRMAN then gave " Prosperity to the Royal
Agricultural Society of England," and he said he felt
convinced that this Association would be the means, by
its example to all the other associations of the kingdom,
of rendering the greatest advantages to the whole of
the community.
Colonel CHALLENOR, as Chairman of the Finance
Committee of the Association, returned thanks, and
congratulated the meeting on the flourishing state of.
that Society. He said, that in travelling to attend the
last meeting at Liverpool, he was struck with the bad-
farming he observed throughout the county of Lan-
caster, but it showed how anxious the farmers of the.
county wore to effect improvements, when it appeared
that the greater portion of the improved agricultural
implements which were exhibited on that occasion were
purchased by farmers of the county.of Lancaster. Co-
lonel Challenor then went on to express his opinion that;
the increase in the produce of the soil' was cnti.sequAg,
upon the improvements that had been -effected is the
science of agriculture, and almost, if not quite, kept.
pace with the increase of population ; and he said that.
a farmer of his acquaintance had recently shown-him by
his books that his farm produced at the present time
one-fourth more than it did seven years ago ; and if an
equal increase had taken place generally, there would
be an abundant supply of food produced for even a
much greater population than they had at present to
provide for.
Sir W. FREMANTLE also addressed the meeting, and
said that the Crown of England had been the patron
and sincere friend of agriculture, and he alluded to their
Majesties George 111., George IV., and his late Ma-
jesty, who, he said, was a true British farmer, and took
a pride and delight in ever} thing relating to agriculture.
He had great pleasure in informing the meeting that
Prince Albert had recently taken upon himself the ma-
nagement of three large farms is the occupation of the
Crown, and the intelligence and talent of that illustrious
Prince were sure guarantees of the manner in which
those farms would be conducted, and of the improve-
ments that would be effected, and the encouragement
that would be afforded to agriculture, by the example
that was thus afforded to the country. Sir William
concluded by stating that her Majesty's name also stood
prominently forward as a subscriber in support of an
association of the present description, and she had ex-
pressed her readiness to continue her support to it.
Prizes having been awarded to the successful plough-
men and deserving agricultural servants, the meeting
separated.

In 1790, by a Convention between England and
Spain for the peaceful settlement of a dispute caused
by the seizure of British vessels at Nootka Sound, it
was agreed that " their respective subjects should not
be disturbed or molested, either in navigating or carry-
ing on their fisheries in the Pacific Ocean or the
South Seas, or in landing on the coasts of those
seas in places not alrea.dy occupied, for the purpose
of carrying on their commerce with the natives of
the country, or of making settlements." This article
clearly established the right of joint occupancy. The
claim to exclusive sovereignty, as against the United
States, has been founded upon the discoveries and pur-
chases of British subjects on the north-west coast, espe-
cially the discovery of the Columbia by an officer of the
British navy, and the first establishment of posts on
that river and its tribUtaries by our fur companies.
On the part .of the United States it has been
pleaded that the Convention of 1790 was nullified by
the outbreak of hostilities between Spain and Great
Britain in 1796, and that its provisions have not
been recognised by any subsequent treaty ; that all
the titles of Spain were transferred to the United
States by the treaty of 1819 ; that the discovery of
the Colombia river, and the earliest exploration of
the country it traverses, were accomplished by Ame-
ricans ; - that the justice of the American claim was
virtually acknowledged by the British Government
in -its restitution of Astoria ;.and that, by reason of
contiguity, the right of, the United States to the Ore-
gOn territory, was more potential than than of any other
nation.

The Siecle says :—‘, The examination in the
Council of Ministers of the Budget of the Navy, to see
whether it can be reduced, has led to a thorough schism
in the Council. On one side are Messrs. Guizot, Duchatel,
and Martin ; on the other are Marshal Soult, Admiral
Duperre, M. Teste, and M. Cunin Gridaine. The two
parties stand aloof alike from M. Trumann, who, they
say, has spoiled everything by the unskilfulness of his
financial combinations. The proposition of relieving the
Budget of the Navy, which is of •125 millions, to the ex-
tent of:.6A- millions, was made by M. Guizot. The Mi-
nister of Finances having stated that, in order to esta-
blish an equilibrium between the receipts and the expen-
diture in 1843, a reduction of 90 millions must be made
in the army and navy, Marshal Soult declared that he
could not consent to retrench more than 25 millions
on the budget of his department. M. Guizot then ob-
served,,that England was governed by a Ministry friendly
to Fiance that the Convention of July 13 removed all
dange.r,of a conflict in the Mediterranean, and that the
fleet,eciald be of no use in maintaining order in the in-
terier,..„He concluded, therefore, by proposing that the
rejueltima should fall principally upon the navy. Ad-_
intral,tluperre threatened to withdraw if this proposition
ihong.fie acted upon, and.in this state the question re':
inaold,iiir some days. In the interval previous to the
iliedct cpunch a resolution was adopted to reduce the nave

.Tif g EDITOR'S STRATAGEM.—We believe it is
not true,. as has been stated, that Mr. Hook was the editor
de- the John Bull from its commencement. He was, in
conjunction with Mr. Croker, of .the Admiralty, one of
its earliest contributors, but it was not until some time
afterlvards that its sole management was intrusted to his
~...-
care. , Ile in some measuro.changed its character, greatly
retrenching its personalities, and was more anxious to
reiider #,, remarkable for quiet and inoffensive humour
than iofinstain its reputation for keen satire and scanda-
lous stories. With all his circumspection, however; he
was sometimes involved in awkward positions by the re-'
sponsibilittes of editorship, by which he contrived to
escape with his accustomed tact, often making the mode
of his deliverance serve an admirable jest. On one
occasion a thin-skinned gentleman, who conceived his
conduct had been commented on with too much freedom,
called at the Bull office, and inquired for the editor.
The publisher, guessing his errand from the fierceness
of his demeanor, and the stout horsewhip he held in his
hand, informed the choleric gentleman that the editor
was not then at the office, but might probably be seen at
twelve o'clock the next day. Punctually at the ap-
pointed hour, the gentleman, horsewhip in hand, arrived,
and was shown up stairs into an empty room. After
waiting sonic minutes in anxious suspense, the door
slowly opened, and a fine young fellow, of Herculean
proportions, entered the room in his shirt sleeves. The
courage of the visitor at once sank below zero at such
an unexpected apparition, and lie civilly inquired of the
young giant before him if he was the editor? " Bedad,
I ate the edithur," was the reply in a strong Irish accent,
"at your service." " Impossible!" said the gentleman,
trembling in every limb as he saw the fellow coolly tuck
up his shirt sleeves, display arms that would have felled
an ox without difficulty, and then spit in his hands as he
clenched them, and placed himself in a fighting attitude,
" Impossible! you can't be the editor." But the reply
was still the same, "Faith! I am the edithur, at your
service," the last word being delivered very significantly.
'rule visitor, utterly panic-struck, retreated towards the
door as the " edithur" advanced, then abandoned his
horsewhip, and rushed precipitately out of the house,
leaving Hook, who had been a witness to the scene, in a
closet of the room, half suffocated with laughter at the
success of his stratagem.
The Droit says, that the object of: the search
at the office of the Journal du Peuple was the seizure of
the reform petitions and other papers belonging to the
Reform Committee. The subjoined particulars of the
search are from the France :—" At 5 yesterday morning
a commissary of police, accompanied by a number of
assistants, entered the dwelling of M. Dupoty, responsible
editor of the Journal du Peuple. A warrant issued by
Baron Pasquier; dated the 6th, was shown to M. Dupoty,
and signified that he was called upon to answer certain
inculpations alleged against hire. M. Dupoty was im-
mediately taken to the offices and press of the journal.
M. Boulloche, the examining magistrate, accompanied by
another commissary of police, proceeded to a long and
minute search ; 150 petitions for electoral reform, and a
great many pamphlets, among which were several copies of
the trial of the France, the 'Biographic Militaire de Louis
Philippe,' and the speech of M. Ledru-Rollin, were seized.
This operation lasted till two in the afternoon. A search
was afterwards made at the residence of M. Dupoty, and
at four the editor of the Journal du Potpie was commit-
ted to the Concier°erie. Baron Pasquier came imme-
diately, and put some summary questions to M. Dupoty.
Two other editors of the Journal, who had been present
throughout these proceedings, asked the Chancellor
whether M. Dupoty might continue to sign the journal.
The answer was dryly negative, because M. Dupoty was
to be put into close confinement. In answer to an ob-
servation that the existence of the Journal would
thereby
,bo endangered, Baron Pasquier said there
were much greater misfortunes than the arrest of a Jour-
nalist and the ruin of a journal ; but, at the same time
affairs of commerce did not come within his province."
The Siecle, in its account of these proceedings, says :
" The police agents, after having searched every place,
seized 200 petitions for electoral reform, and five or six
pamphlets on reform which have never been incrimi-
nated. They examined for a long time, and with great
care, a petition to the Chambers against the detached
forts, but these were not
seized. M. Dupoty, we are
informed, was arrested on an accusation of being impli-
cated in Quenisset's attempt,
although he affirmed that
lie never had any acquaintance with that assassin, and
never belonged to any secret society."' The Courrier
Francais states that General Heymes, aide-dc-camp to
the King, carried to the Queen Dowager of Spain the
intelligence of the insurrection in her favour in Navarre.

HARVEST.—We have been in the north of
Somerset during the 'past week, and have seen a great
quantity of corn still in the fields there, and rotting.
Wheat, barley, and oats are alike exposed to this flooding
weather, and the farmers tell us that the potatoes in the
low lands are drowned and would not get dry again if
the weather should clear immediately, but of this there
seems no probability.—somerset Gazette.

From days of old until now these outside foreigners
have only known to dread our majesty, they never
knew what it was to harbour in their bosoms any prin-
ciple of good ; therefore, in governing the barbariansT
you must first make a fearful example by mas-
sacring a part, in order that you may be able
afterwards to rule the rest. From the time of the
Sung dynasty till the time of the Ming dynasty, our
frontiers were at different epochs subjected to their
cruel inroads; those of us who wished to vindicate the
honour of their country by force of arms were the faith-
ful and wise statesmen; those who wished to compro-
mise and regarded not the national dignity, were the
traitors and parasites ; those who viewed matters as re-
lated to posterity were the clear-headed and valiant of
our warriors ; while those who were content to sacrifice
everything for temporary repose, numbered none save the
timid and the base ! The fame of the might and majesty
of our great, pure dynasty for the last 200 years has
caused all distant lands to tremble, and the barbarians
of the four quarters have been awe-struck and dismayed
From times of the most remote antiquity we never
heard anything of the " English barbarians !" these
are nothing more than a gang of rascally merchants
linked together. by illegal ties,—...a banditti leagued for
the express purpose of selling opium ; arid what then
must we think of Keshen, who so often praises these
outside barbarians, and puffs off their " superior attain -
ments" as a means to coerce and constrain the Govern-
ment of the Central land ? _ _ _

The efforts of the negotiators, to effect a permanent
arrangement between Great Britain and the United
States having proved unsuccessful, the limits of their
respective territories west of the Lake of the Woods
were left undetermined by the treaty of Ghent. The
third article of a convention signed at London on the
20th of October, 1818, stipulated that- all territories
claimed by either Power between the Rocky Moun-
tains and the Pacific Ocean should, with their har-
bours, bays, and rivers, be free and open for ten years
to the vessels, subjects, or citizens of both, with the
understanding that this agreement was net to lea con-
strued to prejudice the claims of either nation, or of
any other, to any portion of the territories in question.
These stipulations were renewed by a convention
signed August 6, 1827, which embraced a supple-
mentary provision, empowering either of the contract-
ing parties to annul and abrogate the arrangement at
any time after the 20th of October, 1828, on giving
twelve months' notice. This arrangement, 'has con-
tinued in force up to the present time. "''
The uneasy, interest which the question' of the north-
western boundary has excited in the United States is
in striking contrast with the apathy that has prevailed
respecting it in this country. While it is a constantly
recurring theme of discussion and inquiry in the Fede-
r ral Legislature, and of eager comment in the American
papers, it is almost unnoticed by the Parliament and
press of England ; and probably the knowledge of its
merits hardly extends beyond the offices of Downing
street, or the premises of the Hudson's Bay Corpora-
tion. A work now before us exemplifies the sleepless-
ness of American vigilance when the end in view is
territorial aggrandizement.
In accordance with the instructions of the Secretary
for Fereien Affair, issued at the instance of a spe-
cial committee of the Senate of the United States
Congress, the librarian to the olepai tment has com-
piled, from official documents, a Memoir, Historical
and Political, of the North-West Coast of North
Au:mica, and the adjacent territories, which memoir,
we are told, demonstrates that " the titles of the
United States to the possession of the regions
drained by the Columbia river, derived from priority
of discovery and priority of occupation, are as yet
stronger and more consistent with the principles of
national right than those of any other Power, from
whatsoever source derived." The sentence which di-
rectly follows this announcement, and forms the con-
elusion of an exposition elaborately partial, warrants the
inference that, with or without title, the Republican
eagle is destined to fix its talons in the disputed terri-
tory, awl annex it to the Union.
4. That those regions must be eventually possessed
by the people of the United States only, any one ac-
quainted with the progress of settlement in the valley
of the Mississippi during the last fifteen years will be
inclined to questicn ; but that Groat Brithin will, by
every means in her power, evade the establishment of
an American population on the shores of the Pacific
may be confidently expected, from the dispositions
evinced by her Government in all its recent discussions
with the United States."
Proceeding from an official source, this anticipation
of future events is marvellously cool. It does not,
however, follow that in resisting the pretensions of the
United States the British Government should be ad-
verse to the settlement of an Anglo-American popula-
tion on the shores of the Atlantic. There, as every-
where else, the growth of our commerce must be co-
extensive with the advances of civilisation. That the
igtshueeievstitideyeanlatthd,
time has arrived for the adoption of some decisive course

fashion. The Memoir alleges that, in 1832, settle-
ments were made from the United States on the coun-
ties of' the Colombia, " without any commercial views;"
that three years afterwards a colony of Americans was
established on the Wallamet, and that since that period
the number of American citizens permanently residing
beyond the Rocky Mountains has been much increased."
4, With regard to the condition of these settlements,
no information has been recently obtained. In 1837
they were all prospericg ; and it may be supposed that
they are continuing to do well, inasmuch as a large
number of emigrants sailed for the Columbia from New
York, in the autumn of last }ear (1839), under the
superintendence of one of the founders of the Wallamet
colony, and other persons are said to be now in that
city preparing for a similar expedition."
It is significantly intimated that for migratory Ame-
ricans there is a much reidier way than the circuitous
route by Cape Horn to countries on the Pacific. •
" It is not by means of such long and dangerous
voyages that citizens of the United States are to effect
'
settlements in North-West America, and it will, doubt-
less, be the care of their Government to render
smoother and more secure the routes across the conti-
nent to those countries lying entirely within the undis-
puted limits of the republic. In the possession of these
routes the Americans have infinite advantages over the
British and all other nations for occupying the regions
in question."
And we may add, will not be particularly scru-
pulous in availing themselves of the facilities for
appropriation. According to the Memoir, " nothing
more is required than the establishment of a few
military posts, at con; eoient distances, on. a line be-

I, your Majesty's Minister, have partaken largely of
Imperial goodness ; I dare not look with kindness or
compassion on what my heart resents with disgust and
indignation, which might lead otherwise to rendering of
no avail our important plans for the defence of the
frontier ; therefore it is that with the utmost sincerity
I have poured out my heart in this secret memorial on
which I pray your Imperial Majesty to cast one sacred
glance.
And further I have heard that when foreigners
arrive at Canton they must employ our Chine;e people
b act as compradores. These compradores are, in
fact, so many native traitors ; it is they who first teach
the monkey to climb the tree (i. e. point out to
foreigners the path of mischief). Formerly when Tang-
ting-ching was Viceroy of Canton, he reported to your
Majesty that the rascally foreign merchant Dent, whom
he had driven out, had a compradore called Panu-tsung,
who was the most wicked villain among the whole of the
depraved Motherhood. The vagabnd, having the
officers of justice at h:s heels, fled to Shan-tung, from
which place he proceeded to Pih-chilee, where he changed
his name to Paou-pung. He there foregathered
with Keshen, who took him with him to Canton, and
made him his bosom friend and confidant, and made
use of him as a go-between when he had any business
to consult with Elliot, which circumstances are in the
highest degree strange and suspicious ! When Keshen
writes, " the said (English) foreigners say, we must
fight with you first, and then we can trade with you
afterwards !" it is hard to believe that it was not this
traitor who spied for him and brought him this report,
after that he had instructed (the English) to say so.
I, your Majesty's Minister, am certainly of opinion,
that unless this Paou-tsung be put to death, the affairs
of the foreigners must remain unsettled ; and therefore
I now beg of your Majesty to send secret instructions
to the imperially appointed rebel-quelling General
Yih-
shan and his subordinate colleagues Lung-wan and
Yang-tang, that they examine every hole and corner about
Keahen's dwelling if there be such a person as Paou-
pung ; and if he be indeed the very compradore Peon-
taung, let him be secretly arrested and sternly inter-
rogated (by torture) as to the nature of his traitorous
communication ;—let him then be beheaded and his
head exposed on the sea shore, as a warning to others,
which may cut off the evil of illicit intercourse between
those within and those without.

" A few days ago," says the Journal de Cher,
"a warrant was issued against a young man belonging
to a respectable family at Bourges, upon a charge of
having-threatened the lives of several members of his
family. When the Commissary arrived to execute the
warrant, the young man, who was in bed, refused to
obey it, and some gendarmes were sent for, but on their
arrival, the young man had barricaded himself in his
room, and threatened to kill any person who should
attempt to arrest him. To prevent bloodshed the gen-
darmes withdrew, but kept a watch on the house. Shortly
afterwards, however, a crowd collected, and the young
man presented himself at an open window, with a pistol
in his hand, threatening to blow out the brains of the
first person who should enter his room. The Com-
missary- of Police, after having; in vain exhorted the
young man to surrender himself, quietly ordered the
gendarmes to do their duty, and they accordingly broke
open the doors and entered. The Commandant of the
vremlarmerie, who preceded his men, five in
number, urged the infuriated youth to give himself
up, promising that he should not be ill-treated, but, the
latter, address:lT, one of the gendarmes, who had his
rmisket pointed at him, said, ' I will not surrender—
fi The gendarme said he would not fire first, upon
-which the young man discharged his fowling-piece,
which was loaded with- slugs and small shot. One of
the slugs struck the Commandant on the hip, but without
inffictieg a serious wound, and another hit one of the
gendarmes under. the right eye. The gendarme who
had first pointed his musket now fired it, and the ball
"
struck the, arm of the young men, and came out at his
shoulder. It was at first thought that he was killed,
nasal one of the g,endarmee went up to him. At this
momoot, however, he drew nut a .pistol, and was about
to fire, when he was disarmed and made prisoner. Three
ether loaded pistols was found upon him. The wounded
rendaeme was taken to the hospital, where the ball that
he had received was extracted,. and it was not expected
that any thing 'serious would ensue. The wound of the
young man is serious, but not mortal."

special purpose along with my other, hoping that your

that its prayer be duly put into effect. A most re-

Our copy has no date, but we presume that it was
written shortly after Keshen's treaty of peace with Cap;
taro Elliot was known at Peking-, say between the 15th
February and Ist March, 1811.

non-arrival of the Dart steamer, due on Thursday morne

accidenfs having lately happened to her machinery-0
She has at length succeeded in crossing the Channel.
It appears that she left Dieppe about three o'clock.
on Wednesdat morning, having the mail bags
on: board, ant about forty' passengers. After beat-
ing about in a tremendous gale for upwards of twelve
hours she was compelled to put back. The weather
having moderated Captain Cheeseman again put to sea
yesterday morning-between two and three o'clock, and
had a very rough
t assage. On arriving off New-
haven the Captain too a pilot on board, and fearing
ha should not have tide enough to reach Brighton
was running into Newhaven harbour, when bhe struck
against the . East Pier, carrying away her paddle box
and the cook-house, and shaking the machinery so much
that she was completely disabled. The life-boat, manned
by a brave crow, put off to their assistance, and with
other help succeeded in towing, her into the harbour,
where the whole of the passengers were landed in safety.
