GREAT DEFENSIVE PREPARATIONS OF TUE CnI-
NEsE.-The Chinese, tits said, are at present
making formidable military preparations, which
are not to be despised. Since the attack on Cam
ton, the Chinese have executed enormous works
on tho Peiho, river which falls intothe Yellow
Sea, and by which n communication is main-
tainetl with PcSn. That river is now barred in
% different places by dams built of stone, which
completely intercept the navigation. These
works arc regarded as a curiosity. Moreover,
the three branches OF the Pciho cauaZed by
the Emperor Kia-Kang in 1917 are cut, and the
course Of one Of them, the Hu no, has boon
turnrd off into the luke of KOlIo-tchi. When
an army invades the Chinese Empire, the prin.,
cipal means of dcfcnco is to let the waters o.
this lake overflow the country. This system o.
defence, eiiicacinus against an enemy, but most
disastrous for the country, was uscd'against the
insurgents in 1852. The city Of PeEiHiS con-
seqnently perfectly safe from an attack either
by land or sea, and the Emperor will in any
desperate circumstance be prOtectedby the ia
naIicism of the people, who will stop ut no
means to destroy the foreigners circum-
stance has lately demonstrated the truth OF this
fact. The British ships proceeding to Canton
have been in the habit of taking fresh water at
WhanpOa from small river which falls into
the Tclukiang. 1t was remarked that the sail
ors using this water lately have been attacked
with collie, aud after a careful investigation it
was discovered that the water had been poison.
ed by the Chinese. They employed for this
purpose tho Trunks of certain trees, which, af-
ter being prepared for the occasion, imparr n
deadly poison to the water The Chinese are
naturally malignant, and their wickedneSs is
increased by their fanatcism, which is beyond
