he also ordered the Lieutenant Colonel Kingshun,
who was professionally in charge Of the force sta
toned at Lin-tsiDg, to march out Of the city and
mest the enemy, when he killed several hundreds of
the rebels, and captured large quantity of flags,
military weapons, gunpowdcr, and scaling ladders,
Asr this the rebels took possession of the southern
pass. 1t appears also ION the report Of Shen-lah,
that on his arrival Of Lin tsing, he found that the
rebels were encamped ct the village OF le- van,
the head off body of horse, to advance nom Lintsing
southwards in order to harass the enemy whilst

on the enemy, has obtained some 81 cesses; but
Che rebelioss thieves having separated themselves
into two bands, stealthily crossed the grand canal

be both degraded from rank, but retained at their
posts. It appears, also, that Sbing-pa has gone
forward at the head Of force to stop the progress
Of the enemy. We command the aboven named great
officer to place himself at the head of all the disp0
sable troops, and extermnate utterly this rebeous
banditti. Let there be no delay. Respect this.
The GaSene of the 9th of April contains re-
Of Shan-tuDg, stating that he has obtaineda vic
tory over the rebelious thieves. He says that
they had penetrated to the suburbs Of Lin-tsing,
when shen-luh and Tsung-gnan headed body Of
troops to intercept their progress, and killed
shout 700 or 500 Of the enemy. After this Shing.
paou arrived at the city in question and immedi

IT. number Of those who were killed and burn

through the fire, trampled upon each other in tn
confusion. Several tens Of their tents were p
