doclared, graciously commending and rewarding them, reporting fully to Up the decision come Colony of Hong kong, -
the General, Intendant, and all other persons who exorted themselves in the several affairs.
But afterwards the foreigners, after their pacifi- cation, presonted a document stating that Tabunga || and others had treacherously massacred some shipwrecked foreigners, and, that framing a story. of having taken themon arms as prisoners of war, they had thus falsely represented it to Us; and this statement of the foreigners having been by ELIANG and KEYING successively reported to Us; Our commands were then given to ELIANG, to pass over to Formosa, and examine into and adjudicate the matter.
It now appears from his report, upon examina- tion and enquiry among the officers and common people, that, of the two foreign vessels destroyed, one went to pieces from the bad weather encoun- tered, and the other was driven ashore by stress of weather; that in neither case was there any meeting in battle, or enticing into danger. On being exa- mined too, Tahunga and Yaou-Yung themselves have confessed, that their report was a pre-arran- ged and made up one, and that their crime is wholly undeniable, and have presented to ELZANG their own depositions requesting him to report clearly to Us that they may meet due punishment. This affair having originally happened previously
let all the officers and others who wore ro- commended as having exerted themselves at Tuowan, Kelung, and Taan (excluding only the Militia and other private individuals,) and all the civil and military functionaries who have been promoted and commended for their diligence, be deprived of all the honors they have thus obtained.
In cherishing Chinese and Foreigners, we look upon each with the same equal benevolence. And, the General and Intendant aforesaid, having become amenable by their crime to punishment, we will not allow, that because the representation came from outside foreigners, it should be carelessly cast aside, without investigation. Our own sub- jects and Foreigners, Ministers and People, should all alike understand, that it is Our High desire to act with even-landed, and perfect justice. Respect

But thus to deceive and falsify, in order to obtain merit, is conduct excecilingly hate-ceived for coinage, at the Bombay mint, ful to Us: In the one case they stated that they had met in battle, and in the other, that they had enticed in, the enemy. Not until ELIANG had passed over to Formosa, and examined into the matter, did they at all present their true personal statements and confess their guilt. Thus flagrantly have they shown ingratitude for Our Gracious Favors, and involved themselves in the bitter consequences of crime.
