oft otherwise they are unable to continue
an attack for any length of time, or to bear up long
against one, especially if made in order, and with VI
gour. The Emperor himself (Cam-Hy, a great ia
vourite by the way, with the missionaries) gave this
short character of them THEY are good soldiers
,rhen opposed TO bad ones, but bad ,rhen opposed 10
good ones - an eulogium with which, We presume,
the faithful warriors of his Celestial Majesty were, as
in duty bound, considerably fatlcred.
The rations of troops in garrison, consist of meat,
fish, rice, pear, and straw, according to every ones
rank, and which are served out TO them daily, besides
their constant pay, which they regularly receive. In
pcrkin, the military magazines Of reserve arc kept
constantly stored with rice sufficient for three years
consumption. This rice, it appears, will keep a great
while ifit be well famed and mixed and though it is
neither in appearance nor state comparable to new
rice, yet it is much moro wholesome and nourishing.
The few additional details respecting the numbers
and discipline of the Chinese army furnished by more
modern travellers would lead to the conclusion that
the Chinese army at the present day consists of about
l,000,0 900 infantry, and $1,000 cavalry, a statement
pretty nearly agreeing with that brought to Europe by
the gentleman who accompanied the frst English
Embassy to China under Lord Mccartney. These
numbers are inclusive of the Tartar banners. From
the observation made by the embassy in their travels
through the empire, there seemed nothing improbable
in the calculation of the infantry, but they observed
few cavalry. The pay of the Chinese foot soldier
amounts to about 2 lid. English money and n meas
urc of rice per day, though some of them have double
pay. The pay of a horse soldier is double that of a
soldier the Emperor furnishes a horse and the horse
man receives two measures of small beans for its daily
subsistoncc.-The arrears of the army are punctualy
paid up every three months. A horseman's arms
consist of a helmet, a cutass, lance, and sabrc-the
foot soldier is armed with a pike and sabre-some,
indeed, have fusecs, or fre-locks, of a rude and in
different construction, whilst others have bows and
arrows. All these arms are carefully inspected at
every review, and if found in the least rusted, or in
bad condition, the inattentve soldier is instantly pu-
nished-ifa Chinese with thirty or forty blows with a
stick if a Tartar, with as many lashes.
As to the naval force of the Chinese, it would appear
from the most modern accounts that it has undergone
no change whatever during the last 200 years. a late
writer has declared that a single British man-of war
would suffice to destroy the entire naval force Of
China

The subscriber having for nine years past received

by use Of the hose water be forced over any part Of
