THE END OF THE PAHANG RISING,

RARMAN AND OTHER REBELS SURRENDER. Pekan, January 61B.

The European situation is still disquieting. The press of France and Russia teems with allusions to the state of the defences of those countries, and the necessity of constant vigl. lance to guard agalust weaknesses.

His Excellency goes on to say that having received the copfes referred to he had fraued circular orders to those concerned and further directed a proclamation to be drawn up in the sense indicated.

The following is a copy of the memorial accompanying the instructions:-

"It is stated in the original memorial that the restrictions as to emigration beyond the seas were first imposed during the first years of the present dynasty and that they owed their origin to the trouble caused by the Taiwan bandits.

"Thereafter, when order was restored in Tal- wan and the people on that island lived at peace with one another, his Imperial Majesty in the 56th year of Kang Hat (1718), by act of special grace, allowed all who had crossed the seas to return to their homes. In the 6th year of Yung Cheng (1739) au edict appeared pointing out that although emigrants had returned to some extent, yet there were a number of thems, who, of their own free will, had decided to expatriate themselves and remain abroad, and others who in spite of legal restrictiona secretly left the country. To all such, permission to return was istused. In the summer of the M. Clemenceau, the well-known politician, who was rejected at the late general election to 14th year of Klen Lang (1750) a case is recorded in which his Majesty severely punished one the French Chamber of Deputies has caused Chen L-lao and confiscated his merchandise for much excitement by the publication of an attack on the naval policy of the Government. He muggling himself away to the East Indian islands and filling the position of 'headman' specially instances Toulon which, notwithstand (Ka-pi-tan) there. From this it would appear ing the boasted strength of its defences, be that in those days, when rules to govern aeigis declares to be wholly unfit for war. He stigma-bourly intercourse had not been decided on, the tises the torpedoes as antiquated, useless, and restrictions as to emigration were very stringent, positively dangerous to the port liself,

"The passing at such a measure wil afford yet another listance of year Majesty's all. embracing tender care for your Majesty's subjects and will enable those who are longing to revisit the homes of their fathers to gratify the supreme desire of their beasts.

"I have further received a despatch from the provincial Judge at Soochow in this sense, and have to obterve that as all raw-abiding Chinese subjects who have crossed the seas are still children of the Emperor, and as permission bas been granted to such to return home under pass and live at peace in their own country, they must on their return be treated in exactly the sams way as the other residents. I sccordingly Issue this proclamation and call upon all classes to render Implicit obedience to the same. Here- after all persons who interfere with or in any way molest returned emigrants from abroad will ba severely paulabed.

"As regards the returned emigrants them- selves they must endeavour to conduct them- selves in a pesceable and law-abiding manner ; they must not represent themselves to be of foreign nationality in order to evade revenue laws, as by so doing they render themselves liable to punishment. "
