LATEST FROM CHINA.
PROVIDENCE, (R. ID June 10;

CHINESE CeRRESPoNDENcE.
In our Gazette of the 27th uit we gave an
account of the British expedition from Ben
gal and Penang, under admiral Drury, to
Macao, Portuguese settlement in the vi
cinity of Canton, but which is held under
the Chinese government.-By the arrival
of a friend from that remote section of the
globe, we have been favored with part
of the correspondence which took place
on that occasion, and which we insert for
the amusement of our readers. 1t may al
so afford some information relative to the
ideas entertained of the British by that
singular and very numerous people. The
Americans are by the Chinese sometimes
called second ehoh EHgliShmen, but Eu
ropeahS and Americans are generally Clas-
sed together, and called FAMOUS" or
"wHITE DEVILS" The viceroy of Can
ton is commonly distinguished by the name
of John Tuck, which is by some supposed
to correspond with his title. He is consi-
dered as very great man, and is as mac
cessible as the grand seignior, insomuch
that admiral Drury could not be permit
ted in his presence.

II memorial Of The Viceroy Of Canton, to the
commanders and agents Of Merchants at
Whamfoa.
I, the InContoe, direct this chop to let you
know that you belong to an Island i'm the mid
die of the sea. Your substance depends OIL
your manufacturers From the goodness of
our emperor, you are permitted to come to
Canton TO trade. This is favor of the high
est importance and most extensive kind -
But your admiral has disoheyed the laws, by
introducing soldiers into Macoa without per-
mission and your chief has joined with him
in creating disturbances. l have informed
the emperor, and he has issued his decree
in return. have directed the Mandarins
to make you informed of the same, & to i'm
press on you, with the utmost force the mean
ing of it. If the troops still persist in re-
naming here. / shall be obliged to send
great many soldiers, to destroy them all -
and this they will owe to the admiral, and
the chief; but as to you, hold you all blame
less. You must all remain peaceable, and
continue to pay respect to the laws.
When the troops shall be removed, then
shall direct a memorial to the Emperor,
begging him to have the kindness to restore
the trade to you as formerly--buti if you have
the audacity to give ear to the admiral and
the English chief, and unite with them in
creating disturbances. then shall send nu-
merous forces. IN order to entirely destroy
you--and which they will do, if you are as
hard as rocks or jasper--and when 1t must be
so, shall se able to shew you no indulgence
Obedience to the law is the first thing neces.
sary--this is the chief object and meaning
of this address.
