The late war with England, limited as it was in extent and duration, shook the Tartar Government to its foundation; and the protraction of hostilities for a brief period, and the occupation of Nankit, might perhaps have ended in its overthrow, or the abandonment of Pekin for
a retreat in Mantelouria.
The appearance of a fleet of sixty anil of British vessels off Nankin, (for whieh Admiral Sir W. Parker deserves the highest credit,) inspired such alarm at Pekin, that Her Majesty's Plenipotentiary had nothing to do but dictate the terms on which peace would be granted. These terms were too hastily settled: several important points were over- looked, and so-called concessions were obtained, which were not only valueless (as for example, permission to trade to ports and incur heavy expenses where there is no commerce), but, as in the grant of Hong Kong to the British crown, was positively iujurious and a waste of life and treasure, without the slightest compensating advantage. No right of direct correspondence with the Imperial Cabinett, or with the Lefanyeun Board, or Foreign Office, at Pekin, through which the Russian and other nations not in subjection to China, correspond, was even procured.
The obtainment, by the treaty of Nankin, of the payment of twenty-one million dollars, has been viewed as a great gaiu to England,
foreigners any just cause of complaint-advised peace on any conditions, and hog- ged the Emperor to make every sacrifice to conciliate the English. War was, how ever, already decided upon in the imperial cabinet. Before our attack on the farts at Chuenpes, an order was issued by the Emperor to send the whole of the English troops to Pekin is cages, and not a shred of any of our ships was to be left un destroyed! I was proposed to burn as oat of Tinghae, and incendiaries were seat there (as they are now to Hong Kong) for the purpose of setting äre to our residences, at
at different times and places.
The Emperor orderd three line-of-battle ships to be built, of the same size, and with similar equipments and guns to those of the English. The official who roceived these orders had not materials to build three war junks, and knowing his Cute at Pekin, committed suicide. But the approach of our fleet to Nankin, totally changed the Tartar feelings. The Emperor prepared for flight into fartary; and so great was the confusion at Pekin, that silver to the enormous amount of nine millions sterling is stated in the official papers to have been abstracted from the treasury 25 Per
Pekin. Any proposition t for the continuance of the war was now viewed ashigli treason: the conamissioners sent from Pekin to make posce with Sir H. at Nankin, received instructions that "all demands were to be yielded reserve or contradiction, and a peace concluded." These instructions were frora the Emperor haraself, and had their origin in the strong conviction that calesa

Dr. Gutzlaff, in his official extracts from Chinese state papers, No. 4. (Elepoo) dated 16th June, 1845, adverts to the exhausted finances of the Chinese Govern rat, at the very commencement of the war with us; to the "miserable fortifica. tions that were thrown up; t
the half-starred soldiers; the wretched mateblocks the useless powder; the honey-combed guns; the miserable display of the whole imperial army." He adverts also to the venality and greediness of the mandarins to awallow up the public money, which rendered alt efforts to take up a kolá posi

The annexed abstract of the various dynasties that ruled Clins previous to the Tartar usurpation in 1644, shows there has been almost a constant scene of conquest, tyranny, and repine, in China.
