Meet, Tue Cnlnese government had sent
a boat load Of poisoned Tea packed in |
small parcels, to be sold to the sailors
this nelarious attemptit is reported was
thus discovered: The boat was captur-
ed by pirates, who sold her cargo to
their fellow countrymen many deaths
followed the use of the poisoned tea /;
so many, indeed, that il is said the at
tention Of the district magistrates was
drawn TO the circumstances.
Thus, then, 1910 years after the
christian era, the Caucasian and Tun-
GUSTAV races are on the eve of being
broug ht into hostile contact the Tun-
GUSTAV race tracing its paternal form of
government, on which principles the
people and their families are governed
at the present day, TO more than two
thousand years before that epoch !?
Surely this is great event in the an
nails of the world! Two great nations
wide as the poles asunder, after com
mercial connection of more than two
hundred years, are, now about to rush
into mortal conflict. Jacta est selea-
the die is cast, and it is useless for us
now to dilate upon the causes of the
disruption of two vast empires, even il
we had not on mpny occasions in ma
ny numbers of the Register, discussed
fully, as we think, the most moving
incidents which have caused the pre-
sent hostile position of England anG
China but we express our deliberate
opinion, that the motto of England
Dieu ct mon droit-can be most Justly
made the war cry Of her sons on TIT
shores Of the celestial empire, shoulc
its government happily ontinue OBJ
stinate in It's. ignorance, and con6den
in the enchantment with which it ha
enthralled so large portion of the hu
man race for centuries for it is not a.
: unfair conclusion that the numbers q
: the population of the Chinese empir
has had nearly relative proportion c
! the rest of mankind as far back as lib
2 third century B. C.-when Tsin-
the burner of the books, the destroye
of the literati, and the builder of tn
great wall-conquered the contendin
!. states and consolidated the variou
f principahties into one empire as at tn
, present day.
