A Stunning" Proclamation.

In our late Chinese exchanges we
find the following proclamation from
Yeh, Governor of Canton, to the faith.
full subjects of the Empire. calling upon
them to enter upona general scheme Of
determination against the English. 1t
is no doubt a splendid specimen of the
Chinese vernacular:
Yeh Ming Ching, Governor General
of the two Kwang, Member of the I'm
perial Cabinet, Baron of the Empire,
&C., issues the following for the informa-
ton of all: The operations of an army
can only be efficient when union firmly
exists. 1t is the attitude of multitude
nous assemblage of organized men, that
diffuses terror throughout regions; even
the wild clans on the borders, both north
and south, are stricken with awe, and
the favor of the Emperor is sought af-
ter with respectful earnestness.
Now, these English arbarians-these
kindred of dogs and boars-unmanner-
ly, devoid of all knowledge of propriety
in human ntercourse-wolves and jack
alls in their greed-lustful, incestuous,
bestial-wandering hither and thither,
reckless and regardless of all right, hu-
man and divine, like focks of carrion
crows to the carcass, have come from
their hell-nests; treat our Celestial dy-
nasty with contempt, and, in moment
when our troops are unprepared for
them. take possession of our fortresses,
burn houses and shops of the industrious,
and carry to the top of their bent their
internal wickednes
The gods are angry men are furious;
nor earth nor heaven can longer endure
their presence. They must be extermi-
mated, root and branch; not a sprout
must remain. Arm, then, you people of
the Celestial Empire, in firm purpose
unite, and with vigor proceed to action.
Meet, soldiers and gentry; exhibit your
loyalty; and, joining your forces of
braves in every district, swear that, as
the furious hurricane, you will proceed
to vengeance, until the country's honor
be redeemed. Reverently obey the
Imperial decree, and the memorial of
your goodness viii be seen in the pla-
ces of record. Then great will be the
glory of the State. Surprising the days
of Shun, the elements will continue to
bring back the happiness of the golden
days Tau; the land, cleared of all bane-
full influences, will produce in plenty !;
and peace and happiness be the lot of
all
These English must be exterminated,
so that their fate be warning to other
nations from the west. AS for traitor.
Gus natives in the service of these Eng
llsh imps, they must be sought out, and,
on apprehension, suffer condign punish
ment. The graves of the ancestors of
the greater villains must be broken UP !;
the families of the lesser scum destroy
ed both small and great. Twenty days
are allowed the servants of foreigners
to return to their homes; those who, in
the hope of devilish gain, linger over
this limit, will obtain no mercy, and
their families at once be proceeded a.
gainst.
