From henceforth then you ought to resume the customs of former days and endeavour to prevent the foreign commerce of China from getting into a state of confusion and violence, If you cause the Tea-whips to sail it must be in the 9th and 10th months when the wimis and weather are favourable, and the Chinese mer- chants will all manage the Tea business according to the former regulations, arriving at Canton in the 9th and 10th months. Thus will we prevent all strife for being first, and fears of being last, with the forcing up and enhancement of cost, in the ge neral competition and we have reason to hope that boh natives and foreigners will alike reap advan tage, and parties be happy and fortunate.

In the olden times, foreign- them desist from their longing expectations.

The laws will have sway, abuses and countrymen to scrawl their filthy blackguardism evils will be at an end, and mutual harmony and on the walls of an European residence, peace will lastingly endure.

The native merchant Poshing died on the 27th ultimo. He had been ill for some time, but refused the advice of an English Doctor his faith in quackery was great, and it has cost him his life.

Hereby issue their clear commands. We have received, as is on record, a communi- cation from the High authorities (Governor &e) to the following effect. It is well known that the dwellings in the thirteen Hongs are for the resi dence of the Foreign merchants, and that of late years, fires and robberies have repeatedly occurred, attended with murder and such serious crimes, This is all because of natives and foreigners com- ing into contact in the public thorough fares, when going about, and on the least manifestation of dis- agreement or ill will, neither party being willing to yield to the other. Native vagrants improving the opportunity collect in crowds, and gradually create cause for disturbance, waiting until their quarrelsome and revengeful desires are completed. The civil and military officers have commenced taking forward troops and police for the purpose of repressing such disorders, but not only is this a mattor difficult to manage of oversee, it is likewise contrary to what has been the custom hitherto
