· (From the Chinese Repository, for November.) Toleration of Roman Catholicism, by a special letter from their excellencies. Kiying governor-general of Kwangtung and. Kuangsi, and Wang Ngan tung governor of Kwängtung.
During this month we have received two com. munications from Shanghai, one from the Rt. Rev. Bishop Boone, and the other from the Rev. Dr. Medhurst, both having reference to public docu. ments touching the subject of toleranton. The for.. mer is dated on the first instant: the bishop says, "A few days since a paper came into my hands which defines the religion of the Lord of heaven, to be the religion of those who soorship God, and who venerate and make offerings to the cross, pictures and images; and these are the persons, and these only, Kiying now says, are the ones tolerated by the former decree. Consequently Protestants are excluded." On good authority we have heard i declared, as coming directly from his excellency the French commissioner, M. de Lagrend, that the decree for toleration was designed to be un- iversal, at least so far as to include Protestants as well as Roman Catholics. The authenticity of the decree having been denied, the editor of the Chi. nese Repository addressed a note to H. E. Mi de Lagrene, on the eve of his departure for the north, requesting that it might be made public by the proper authorities To that note no answer has as yet been received. The request was made on the supposition that the toleration was universal, in- cluding both Catholica and Protestants. At whose instance "the public letter from Kiying was ob tained, we know not, nor have we seen the original, the Chinese text, of the intendant's proclamation. Had we it, we would gladly publish the words we bave marked by italis. We did believe, and we will still suppose,-until we know to the contrary, -that the French commissioners intended the act of toleration should be universal, so da to include Christians of every name.
Dr. Medhurst's letter, under date of Nov. 12th, 1845, and addressed to the editor of the Chinese Repository, here follows,
Dear Sir,-The subjoined proclamation has been posted up on the walls of Shanghai; I have thought proper, therefore, to translate it for your pages. The former proclamation of the imperial com- missioner Kiying has not, it appears, been thought

which 1. the imperial commissioner, respectfully recorded it, and communicated the information to the various officers under my control, that they night all reverently comply, as is on recond. Now it appears to me that the riligion of the Lord of heaven mainly consists in exhorting to virtue.and departing from vice, and thus those who profess this religion should: make this their main concern; but on the former occasion we have not been suf- ficiently explicit, and it is to be feared that obstruc- tions would arise in the management of the affair throughout the various provinces, and therefore we now explain, that the religion of the Lord of heaven consists in periodically assembling fie uni- tedly worshiping the Lord of heaven, in respecting and venerating the cross, with pictures and images, as well as in reading aloud the works of the snirk religion; these are customs of the said religion," ÜTL re-practices not in accordance with these cannot be
