-The new Imperial Board at Peking has been charged with an examination leto all the loans recently negotiated on the part of the Provincial Offices, as well as taking cognisance of all to be lained in the future. Under it the authority in- tended to be granted to Sir Robert Hart has been rescinded, and the new office will take charge so far of all Imperial Revenues. Considerable delay took place in the organisation of the Board in connection with the question of loans abroad, and the project was sincerely discussed of send- ing two Imperial Commissioners to Europe to enquire into the question of pubile loans, and to make arrangements. This would doubtless have been profitable for the Commissioners but was not likely to prove of any utility in China. It is likely that the loan will be negotiated on the spot, as the Government is understood to have. received favourable proposals from more than:
one quarter.

"Slace peace was suddenly and unexpectedly broken last year, the utmost exertion was out forth to raise troops and collect way funds. But our commanders were not of the best selection, and our soldiers, who were without proper training and enlisted Indiscrimlostely without the slightest system, were no better than a mere rabble. Consequently not a single battle was who either on land or at sex. The recent slañón 16 Llastung was most critical." And adranco in. Liao-yang and an attack on vur | metropolitan province were not unlikely events.
Considering that the ancestral tombs are by Liao-yung, and that Peking, being the capital of the Empire, is the real fundation of war dynasty; considering that if the tranquil enjoyment of Her Majesty the Empress Dowager, which bas ever been observed with the highest dignity and reverence, be once disturbed, my camclence could never be at ease; and considering that it bas pleased heaven to give us warning, for great 161 waves have washed away many of our troops ported along the court, rendering both offen- sive and defensive operations more dificult: Having, therefore, deliberated over the situation day and night, even weeping on My throus, and pondered over the disadvantages of peace with those of war, I have at last come to My final decision. The officials of the departments have ever once alluded in their memorials to the dificulties above mentioned, to which every subject of the Empire ought to give full cousie duration. I therefore, ratify the Treaty, and make it public, so that every one may see My reasons for taking such a step,
