wearied attention to their wants, given much
satisfaction to the English at Boulogne, 'has offered a
reward for the recovery of the bilies of Captain
Tucker and Mr. John Green, third :nate. The burial
of those whose bodies have been reoriered took place
in the cemetery of Boulogne, any was conducted
in a manner that reflected much crelit on the Consul,
under whose directions the arrangetrents were made.
A valuable case of watches belonng to Mr. GrOln,
fourth mate, has been lost in de Reliance. Zr.
Griffin was a person of good property, and took them
out for the Chinese market, but was unable to dispose
of them. Captain Tucker, immediately before the
Reliance sailed from St. Helena, is sated to have been
desirous to come home in another merchant vessel,
lying there, and that he was
prevented taking his pas-
sage in her only by finding there wis no accommoda-
tion for him. It is mentioned as spmewhat remark-
able that the vessel alluded to was deeply laden, that
her berths were much inferior to these of the Reliance,
and that she was considered to be t, bad sailer. The
commander represented this to Captain Tucker, but
the latter continued to press his wish to take a pas-
sage in her, till assured that it was impossible to make
room for him.

A slight inaccuracy has been made in a previous

He was said to be upwards of 60, whereas he was
scarcely 50.
The survivors, who are in Englind, with the ex-
ception of O'Neill, continue to be comfortably pro-

they will remain for the present.

CHINA.

(From the Friend of China, Sept. 10.)
The following literal English version of a procla-
mation in Chinese, issued by her Majesty's Plenipo-
tentiary on the sth of July, and also a circular to her
Majesty's subjects in China, under date the 24th of
July, are published for general information.
A. R. JOHNSTON, Deputy Superintendent,
Charged with the Government of Hong-Kong.
Government House, Hong-Kong, Sept. 9.
" Pottinger, her Britannic Majesty's Plenipoten-
tiary, &c., makes
.this clear exposition for the infor-
illation of all the people of the country.
"Under the canopy of Heaven, and within the cir-
cumference of earth, many are the different countries ;
of the multitude of these not one is there that is not
ruled by the supreme Heavenly Father, nor are there
any that are not brethren of one family. Being then of
one family, very plain is it that they should hold
friendly and brotherly intercourse together, and not
boast themselves one above, another. But England,
coming from the utmost west, has held intercourse
with China, in this utmost east, for more than two
centuries past ; and during this time the English have
suffered ill-treatment from the Chinese officers, who,
regarding themselves as powerful and us as weak, have
thus dared to commit injustice. The English, unwil-
ling to enter into contest with them, had borne such
treatment for many years, till, in the year 1839, the
Emperor of China, having determined to prohibit ef-
fectually the importation of opium, sent a special com-
missioner, Lin Tsesen, to conduct the arrangements for
that purpose ; and that officer, finding himself unable to
seize the actual offenders of each nation, in place of
consulting and concerting measures with the several
national officers residing in China (as it was his pro-
per duty to have done), had the audacity forcibly to
confine in Canton the English officer and people, at
the same time threatening them with death. His ob-
ject was, by extorting from them what opium there
that year might be in China, to gain favour with his
Emperor; and the English officer at Canton, seeing
this position of things, commanded the English mer-
chants, in the name of their Sovereign, that they
in
should deliver up, for the ransom of themselves from
this position of extreme danger, whatever opium they
might have in the Chinese waters. Here is one great
offence committed by the Chinese officer* against the
Ensh.
‘g• Sovereign of Great Britain, consequence
of this and numerous subsequent acts of injustice, ap.
pointed as her envoys, the Admiral Elliot, and Elliot,
the Superintendent at Canton, to whom jointly full
powers were given for the settlement of affairs with
Chi 6. And having in consideration the nuTy past
acts of injustice of the Chinese officers, her Majesty
directed the Admiral to take command of a com-
bined naval and land force, and to quarter it at
one of the islands on the Chinese coast; her in-
structions being, that if the Chinese Government
were willing to admit its errors and afford re-
dress, a peaceful arrangement of affairs should be con-
cluded ; but otherwise, if justice and recompense were
refused, that the standard of justice should be raised
and its claims enforced by
war. The Admiral, &c.
hereupon proceeded to the Peiho, and there presented
a letter from the Minister of Great Britain, which
the Minister and Governor Keshen transmitted for the
consideration of all the Ministers to Pekin after this
Keshen wrote to the Admiral stating that affairs which
concerned Canton, it was difficult to arrange so far
off, and if the Admiral, &c., would proceed to Can-
ton, it would not need long to arrange affairs there.
The high English officers, still desiring peace, con-
sented to this, and proceeded to Canton ; there they
met Keshen, and had frequent communications with
him, both written and personal. Arrangements were
not yet concluded, when the Ministers at Pekin, men
without truth or good faith, induced the Emperor to
recal Keshen, and send instead a General Yihshan,
to fight and war with the English, so that the Eng-
lish were actually compelled by these proceedings to
take the Bocca Tigris, and the line of defences from
sub-
mission, and to take from it a ransom for the punish-

deceitfully and falsely reported the cases to the Em-
peror, or published lying proclamations to the people,

wherein they have invented tales of lengthened con-
test and seizures of vessels in battle with slaughter of
many people. Thus falsely did Yukien declare last
year the circumstances of the English occupation of
Chusan—thus did the General Yishan pretend that he
had destroyed many vessels; the Governor Yen Petao,
that he had, by force of arms, recovered Amoy ; the
Taotai, on Formosa, when shipwreck had cast men on
that island, he had gained a victory over them in bat-
tle; and the General Yihking, in May last, that he
had destroyed many vessels and killed a multitude of
men at Chusan, when not one vessel was injured, nor
a single man killed. These multiplied false state-
ments, misleading the Emperor and people, and hin-
dering peaceful arrangements, are a third great cause
of offence against the English.
" With reference to trade, the English merchants
used to carry their goods to many places, and buy
from and sell to the people, wholly a benefit, and in
no sense hurtful. But the officers at Canton, seeking
to confine the profits to themselves, induced the Em-
peror, by false statements, to restrict trade to Canton
alone, and permit 13 Hong merchants to conduct it,
not even allowing intercourse with any but them, and
the linguists appointed by the Government. Thus
did these officers gain the power of meddling in every
matter, extorting as they pleased, and disguising
everything under false statements to the Emperor.
This is a fourth great cause of offence.
" There are besides many minor grievances that
excite indignation and wrath, but that need not here
be enumerated.
" Because of these grievances the Plenipotentiary,
&c., has been sent out by command of his Sovereign
to demand redress and satisfaction. When these are
obtained, peaceful arrangements may be made andthe
former friendliness of intercourse may be renewed.
But until then, the high officers in command here of
the combined naval and land forces will continue as
commanded also by their Sovereign, to maintain the
cause of justice, and to contend with all their power
for the enforcement of such redress. When the Em-
peror shall appoint a high officer with full powers to
negotiate and conclude arrangements on his own
responsibility, and not till then, will hostile opera-
tions be stayed.
"Now three principal things are required for the
redress and satisfaction above spoken—namely, com-
pensation for losses and expenses ; a friendly and be-
coming intercourse on terms of equality between offi-
cers of the two countries • and the cession of insular
territory of commerce and for the residence of mer-
chants, and as a security and guarantee against future
renewal of offensive acts.
" If these three things be acceded to, there will be
no difficulty in the settlement of any minor points.
" That the people may know our objects, and not
be misled by the false representation of their officers,
to commit acts of hostility that would bring home to
their own persons and families the horrors of war, the
