o. The Great Western bro ught the |
particulars of the troubles which occur
red ct Canton in China, in March and
April last, and which Gil several col
umns Of the New York papers. Their
history is interesting, They originated
in determination of the Government TO
break up the practice of Smuggling OPT
um into the Celestial Empire. For
some years past, il had been found that
the improper use Of the drug was in
creasing among the people, notwithstan-
ding all the penalties that could be de-
nounced against it by the law, and it had
lisen to such an alarming hcight-pro-
ducIng. as is said, 81, alter ravages on
the health, morals property and lives Of
the inhabitants. than ardent spirits ever
have done in this country or in Eng land
that the Emperor determined 20 pro-
hibit its introduction into the country
altogether. Ii was the effort to enforce
this regulation, and suppress the practice
of smuggling TO which it had given
rise, that led to the extreme measures
that we have heretofore had some ac-
coun; Oft was found that many of the
foreign merchants resident at Canton, as
well as native merchants, were engaged
in system Of smuggling, which bailled
all the efforts of the Government to &C =
complish the desired reform; and so
deep rooted and insidious had the ira
fc become, that the Emperor saw he
must either abandon the country to all
the horrors Of the deplorable vice, OF
take some more strong aid summary
measures. Accordingly he determined
TO suspend the whole foreign trade. and
seize the merchants, foreign residents as
well as natives. and hold them in custo
dy, until all the opium in their posses
sion, or on board the vessels in port
should be gwen up. AS proof of The
wisdom and policy OF the measure, not

so come in for a share. The merchants
were still held in custody at the last
dates, and the Emperor seemed deter
mined TO make thorough work while he
was about it. He certainly deserves
| great credit. and there car be but little
sympathy for those who are made to
suffer from his measures. 1t is hardly
probable that he will find it necessary
to adopt the same expedient very soon
