ferred on an able Perton, aud this becaufe he

rz.-The Hyperion officers of The lecretary's
Office of Rate were all appointed at the will of
Ho-xen. He placed them ar pIeafu.e sdng
il this inltance with an unnatural arrogance.
l3-Aud now Gnce Ho ken has been under
a tate Of conflcation il is obf.;ved thar he had
in his palace many apartments built Of wood
called NAmEn, \ material defined foley fo-
the royal habiialiyns and more than this he
conaiuded new apartments and ga'd-ns ex
a9ly 10 imitation Of the country honle Of the
Emperor, IN ! in the fame lfyle and architecture.
It's not eaiy to conceive what Were bis views

All that is above rela'ei Is not faally ths

tanned, had there been any Pc lon who had &C
cvfed him 70 my deceAied Father, laying open
20 him his in qlities, at fight Of which there Is
much without doubt which would have been

than the Emperor himfelf, Of the truth Of which

that the wicked actions Of this per6dious man
arriving at the highea fummit have appeared
publicity without dilguiie, and it is clearly
known their numbers exceed the hairs OF bis
head, nor can eloquence depid them as they
deferve, how ihal appsar TO anlwer for It to the

therefore command that the Regulo and
Mandarines and great officers Of my COURT of
Pekin examine attentively this cauf- and ad
judge il; and farther that they difpatch wi h.
out lois of time the moh ara orders to the
Viceroys and Intendant General Of all the pro-

articles of this acculation, they may pafs fen
tence on the faid Ho Ken, and further may
make the mot exact enquiries into his palt
errors and conduct, and give me information
Of the whole with the greAtef expedition.
