Having been ordered by imperial decree to repair to Tientsin and inquire thoroughly tnto the events vof the 2ist of June, | have, up to the present time, “arrived at-the following conclusions regarding these fad occarrences:— The first cause of the disturbances lay in the cir- cumstance that missionaries were a ed of being implicated in the kidnappings perpetrated by bad men. To this must be added the various rumors about eyes dug out and hegrts torn out; au being pretended that a certain medicine was «prepared frem these ingredients. And these ru- mors old not only spread from one to the other among the simple and silly people, but even among the gentry and literati there were many who brought forward the same accusations with one voice, From these accumulated eye openly expressed dissatisfaction arose, and amid the consequent ex- -citement the great disaster Wappened. It is, there- fore, necessary in the first place, to discriminate between truth and fabrication, in order to separate right from wrong and innocence from gulit, 80 that we may clearly show that @ just settlement of the matter is our only aim. And we must spectally keep in mind that wild rumors of this Kiud have been circuiated pot tn Tientsin alone, but that Tormerly in Human and Kiangsi, in Yang- chow and Tien-men, and even in the rovince of Chihii, in the districts of Taming- a aud Kwang-ping anonymous and inflam- matory placards were posted about, in which it was malntained either that the missionaries stole ohil- dven, or that they dug out the eyes and tore out the hearts of men, or that women and girls were se- duced and polluted by them. And although the disturpances excited py those accusations @t the above mentioned places have been weverally settied, still it bas never been thor- ougbiy imvestiguted and clearly shown how far the imputations -contained in these anonymous placards were well founded or not, and therefore athas been my principal care siuce my arrival at Tientsin to elucidate these points singly by careful examination and inquiry, First—As to kidnapping being practised by Chinese Christians, it is true that Wong-san j connected with the Americans,” then shown over the entire premises, after which they went away. A large number of people followed them to the place, and # crowd had collected while they were there. They went away without any effort to disperse the crowd. There was much excitement before the departure of the officers, which increased. Some tried to press inw the yards; brickbats were thrown over the wall and at the windows; one or two people were seized for throwing them, when the eutire crowd espoused their cause, ‘The French Consul now rushed off to Chunghow’s Yamen, near by.

The guard was sent.) On the 26th (June 24) the Chihsien issued a proclamation saying that the Tien-chu-chien @nd Yesu-chten were not the same, and that any one injuring members of the latter would be punished. On the 1st of sixth moon (June 20) I received tue Chi-hsien’s card, inviting me to accompany him on a visit to Uhifoo. He received me respectfully, opening the middle door for me to enter, He asked:—‘‘Is your sect and the Tien-chu-chien the same?” ‘No, I am is Jesus a Wes- tern sage?’ “The ignorant say so; but He is the Creator of all things, Ruler of all, and the Father of all men.” “Do you get more pay as a preacher, than formerly as an official?” “This doctrine exborts tovcast out covetousne3ss—I only get enough to live on.” He, the Chifoo, then sald:—“I hear that I am accused; an it is claimed by some that I incited those who destroyed the chapels. I was un- willing to, and did ‘not receive the umbrella and taviet sent me; the people only are responsible for what has been done. I sent ior you because I de- sired to tell you this.” (Mr. Ya cousiders that the Chifoo was the prime instigator of the movement at Ticatsin, assisted by made a contession of this kind, but even he denies on the one day what he had confessed on ‘the other, and his statements are not in accordance with those of his comrades.

Second—With rey to the tearmg put of eyes and hearts, this @ mere invention ‘Without the slightest 1oundation in reality.

And the gates of the mission premises Bong closed the whole year excited suspicion by iis mysteriousness, and because the people could «mot expiain to themselves What was going on inside, & sense of fearful curiosity took possession of them. an this way evil reports spreaa to all the four quar- 4ers of the earth, and ten thousand cries of uni- form accusation went forth against the mission- aries. But it would be vain to seek for any founda- tion of facts on which these spectre accusations have been based—it would be like trying to catch with the hands the passing breeze, or to seize & shadow. When, some days ago, I arrived at Tientsin the people crowded around and stopped my chair, and numberless petitions were presented to me. But when I had made the most careful inquiry to find out What the truth was as to the tearing out of eyes and hearta, there was not one who could wdduce a ‘single proof that such things had hap) at all And when 1 inguirea within and ‘without the city I found that very few ohildren bad been swlen at all, and these cases had almost ali been duiy investigated by the courts. But frora what source ail these false rumors origi- nated I have not been able to ascertain, I have the intention now, together with his Exce:lency Chui How, vo draw up 4 meworialto the throne, in whic! we will give a genera! outline of the state of affuirs, #0.a8 to bring to an cnd all these various discus- sions. Indeed, to murder cuildren and to inutilate thetr dead bodies in order to prepare medicine from then isa deed so horrible that even uncivilized ‘wild tribes would be loath todoit, England and France are large countries beyond the seas: how «could we suppose them capable of such iuhuman crimes? Reason forbids us to think of any such ting even as possible. It maynot be denied that among the Chinese converts there be bad men who kidnap chilcren and do other bad things, cover- ing themselves with the name of missionaries as with 2 talisman; but this can only impose on us the duty to punish those converts who are found guilty of lawlessness; and must not lead us to lay these po to the charge of the missionary establish- ments generally. it # the aim of the Catholic religion to teach men to be virtuous, and the Emperor Kang- bi long ago gave permission to spread this doctrine in his dominions. And the hospitals of the sisters of Mercy may be fairly compared with our own foundling hospitals, &c. The desire of the Sisters is to found asylums for the miserable and poor. Uharity and mercy are their device; if, there- fore, they are accused of abominable deeds foreign- a be justly prompted to resentment and wi Jt is my wish, therefore, that the Emperor should promulgate an edict in ail the provinces of the empire, openly declaring that the misdeeds laid to the charge of the missionaries in those anony- mous placards are nothing but calumnies; go that the wrong done to foreigners by these slanders may Dbeexpiated and the doubts of the Chinese people and literati may be dissolved, and that every man in the empire inay learn and know tue true state of things. Jo this way it is hoped that the distrust ex- ting at present between Chinese and foreigners may be terminated and that the hatred and fll will between our people aud Christians may gradually disappear. AMERICAN STATEMENT OF FACTS. ‘The following is a copy of evidence given to the Rev. C. A.

I mentuoned im @ previous letter that the site of the burnt consulate and mission premises had been selected for their cemetery. Notice had been pre- viously given that the French gnnboas Aspic, which flew Admiral Dupre’s flag, would convey the official visitors to the spot; 80 these met on boara soon afier sunrise and steamed up the river to tne spot, preceded by the Scorpion, which also carried a number of visitors. The coffins had all been lowered into the graves on the previous day, so that it remained only to perform the funeral cere- mony, Which was impressively conducted by Mgr. Thierry, the pro-vicar of Chibli, aided by two other missionary priests. After it had ended and holy water had been sprinkled in the grave, orations were delivered by several of the oficlals present in relation to the event. Count de Rochechouart, his Impe- tial Majesty’s Chargé d’ Affaires, Oh reg first. History, he said, might be search In vain for events so detestable as the massacre ol the 21st of June. Seventeen French subjects, of whom twelve were women, had been massacred, cut to pieces by a fanatical mob, which, not content with killing and destroying, had wished to increase the enormity of its crime en s'acharnant sus les cadavres, He could not trust himself to relate the horrors which had been committed; but neither could he pass in siience the sublime conduct of the Sister Superioress, who, when the bloodthirsty mob had surrounded the building and was breaking in the doors, advanced alone towards them, and ofered herself and her sisters as victims to their rage, beg- ging that they would spare the Chinese who sur- rounded and learned to rely on them. M. de Rochechouart went on toexpress the warm sympathy which all must feel tor these noble, devoted women, and, after thauking the foreigners present for the manifestation of sympathy which they had shown, reterred briefly to the presence of the Chinese offi- cials, a8 a guarantee, he hoped, of the govd faith of their government. Prince Kung had promised that the guilty should be punished, and could not forget nis words, For limself, despite sad presentuments, he wished to believe in tem Jor the interest aud the honor of the Chinese government. Admiral Dupré spoke in the strongest terms of indignation and horror of the massacre and of the crime of its instigators. Like M. de Rochechouart, he wished to believe in the good inientions of the Chinese government. He could not believe it could be suflicientiy ill-advised or ill-Inspired to refuse to punish those who, before God and mau, were responsible tor the bloodshed, aud to wilfully draw upon its subjects the force of foreign armies, which it had already tatally felt. Butif the duty of chastisement were imposed on hum by Fraace he and his companions would be able to accomplish it with all the energy which such a horrible crime demauus. M. Thierry spoke vriefy, but well, in a tone be- coming his profession. The death of the victims had been to tuem a gain; come to China with a hope of martyrdom they had obtained the accomplisa- ment of their most siucere wish, to give their lives for Christ. Mr. Wade, her Britannic Majesty’s Cnargé d’At- faires, then came forward, at te tnvitation of Count Rochechouart, and spoke a few words of warm sympathy tor the fate of ‘fellow Christ! and tm Parilcular for the igte of the unfortunate Sisters of Charity, one of whom was his country woman, * * Beyond the nece: ry punisbment of the offenders he would not speak of vengeance. He could but add that he believed and crusted, as he could not doubt did every Christian present, that out of this great calamity g 20d would be produced.’? Among those present, besides the French Charaé @Atfatres aud Admiral and several members of the French paval and diplomatic service, were her Britannic Majesty's Chargé d’Affaires, Admiral Sir Henry Kellett, Mr. Lay, Her Britannic Jesty’s Consul aod now acting consul tor France; the Russian Consul Gene the Consuls for the United States and tor Denmark, &c.; Uhung-now, the Chinese Commissioner for Trade at the three north- ern ports, an oMcial against whom strong indigna- Won has been expressed for bis apathy while the French mission premises were being buraed down within & quatter of a mile of his palace; the com- mandant of the city, the new Preiect and several minor officials. ‘iseng-Kwo-Fan was the only nota- bie official who was not present, and he pleaded ili- ness, as Ke has so often done since the occurrence Of the massacre, as au excuse for his absence.

Serfdom Abolished. {From the Japan (Yoxohama) Mali, Sept. 8.) A short ume ago we gave our readers an aceount of the manner in which the Mikado’s government have dealt with the large body ef feudal nobility, which it found in possession of nine-tenths of the soil of the realm and in the enjoyment of what was virtually sovereign authority over a tke proportion of the Mikado’s subjects, But there was another task bequeathed by the Shogunate to its successors in the administration of the empire, which though inferior in magnitude and importance to the great Daimio question was one of no inconsiderable dim. culty. ‘This was the disposal of the numerous body of vassals and dependents, oMcial and personal, who formed tne immediate follewing of the houxe of Tokugawa. ‘These cou) the two large sections of the military caste known as the Hatamoto and the Gokenin, ‘The Hatamoto were, it is well known, the class next in rank and influence to the Daimios, the only distinction between the two being one, of income, No one could be a Daimio unless he had nominally atleast a yearly revenue of 10, oku; no Hata- moto’s income reached that amount, In many in- stances, indeed, Hatamoto were branches of the war Western nations settle their differences when nego- tations fail, 1t turns eut otherwise. The old terri- torial princes are not themselves going, but their high officers, and these will accompany a mia or prince of the tmperial house, a youtn of about twenty years of age, who stands in the relationship of uncle to the Emperor. The war in Euro) suite put a stop to business in the yreat staples of silk and silkworms’ therefore, becomes the only article of staple export in wh.ch the Japanese can deal with foreigners, Im- ports are consequently much depressed, Weare glad, says the Yokohama Gazette of the 224 of September, to be able to announce to our readers the of the telegraph between Kobe and Osaka. This seiporsans: event took place on Thursday last, in Japanese have dis- tributed over the two ports, and the natives have already commenced to make use of this to them novel ineans of communication. Twenty messages were forwarded on the firat pay. We learn from Niigata that the rice crop of the province of manige. promises extremely well this year, anththat high hopes are fornied of the benetit thas fs likely to accrue therefrom, both to the foreign and native Interests of that port, The prosperity of Nhgata aepends upon its rice trade, and the plains of oligo, of which it forms that outlet, are the richest and most extensive rice lands of Japan. “Wind,” says the Japanese Encyclopcdia, ‘is the breath of heaven,” and ‘Foreigners,’ say, the oldest and most iustrious families in the empire; but as “‘Shomio” (smail names) or K) they ere always necessa: ror Tah to the “Daumio?? ns. ‘They were, nevert ly o! th Cousideration s portance thi bout the whole lod of the usur- Pation of the ins. It was by them that almost every office in the executive government, whether civil or military, was Milled. With the single exception of the Gonojiu, or Council of State, there was no post in the administration for which they were not eilgible. They were gov- ernors of cities, generals of armies and the represen- tatives of Japan in deallags with foreign Powers. It was by Hatamotos that ali the 8 treaties with cd vations, including Lord Eigin’s, were negotiated and concluded, and the chiefs of the Em- bassy sent to the European courts in 1866 were of the game class. When it ig added that the lowest estimate places their number at eighty thousand, that the estates held by them were distributeed throughou. nearly every province in the empire, and that each of them was the feaual superior again of @ number of retainers varying {rom throe to thirty, some idea may be formed of the importance of their position tn the State under the old régime. ‘The Gokenin, though superior in numbers, were & much inferior body to the Hatamoto, both in rank and income. They were identical in position and almost identical in name, for Kenin is simply a synonymous terin tor Keral with the ordinary Dai- mios’ retainers. [he income of a Gokeuin seldom reached a hundred kokus; but the broad line of de- marcation between them and the Hatamoto was not one of income, but of rank, and consisted in the possession by tae latter of the privilege of the O-me- Malye, or admission to the presence of their lord, of looking on and being looked upon by the Shogun. The Gokenin Were subdivided into several classes according to the duties they performed, such as Yo- riki, the mounted militia; Doshin, the travelling at- tendants in the train of the palanquin, &c., but these distinctions were not of much importance. ‘These two large bodies of the military class, form- ing the hereditary personal following of the Sheguns, and numbering, with their families and dependents, certainly not iess than half @ millioa souls, were supported from generation to generation by the sn- comes assigned them, in lands or in rice, out of the more than princely revenue at the disposal of their lord. When, therefore, in the spring of the year before last, the Shogun was declared a traitor and an imperial enemy, and his dignities and revenues forfelted, his depeudents were involved in the same ruin and their source of livelihood cut of. How did the Mikado’s government deal with tue host of ita enemies who had thus fallen into its power, and whom it could, had it so pleased, have reduced to instant beggary’ We venture to reply—in a manner at once so liberal and statesmaniike that it has sel- dom been paralleled in history, In the first piace. it allowed the Shogun, after bis unconditional submission, to retire to Lis aucestral estates in Sumpu, taking with him as many o! his retainers as he chose, except, of course, those rin; leaders of the rebellion who had too deeply com- mitted themselves by their determined enmity to the Emperor. At the outbreak of hostilities a con- siderabie fraction of the Hatamotos, amounting to porieee a tenth of the whole, either foreseeing the jasue of the inane or from @ genuine feeling of allegiance to the righttul sovereign, embraced the Mikado's cause, and were rewarded for their loyalty by being allowed to retain their former holdings. jut besides these two bands of those who adhered to their chief his fallen fortunes and those who from the first espoused the Mikado’s cause, there remained a large number, the great rity of the body, in fact. who temporized tothe last moment, and who therefore had no claims on the gratitude of either of the parties to the struggle. These were for the most part allowed to continue in the enjoyment of their incomes for the present, uniil matters of greater urgency and im- portance should be settled. ‘heir Qay of reckoning came after the government had satisfactorily worked out the great problem of the position of the Datmios in the manner of which our readers are aware, It should be mentioned that one of the first acts of the new government had been to abolish the designation of Hatamoto and substitute the term Tatfu (a person of consideration) instead, thereby acknowledging their high social poston but ignor- ing their feudal relation toward the usurping power that had just been overthrown, | The subsequent behavior df the government toward the body cannot be better descrived than in the words of the proclamation making known the arrangement they have finally determined on:— Some time axo, says this document, the Han, in order to correct the confusion that had come’ to prevail between name and right, and atimulated by observing the condition of the countries beyond the seas, restored to the Emperor the lands which they held in fee. His Majesty thereupon sub- mitted the matter freely to public discussion; and fnasmuch as {t is his supreme desire to establish a uniform ayatemn of administration for the Fu, Han and Ken alike, and thus in conjunction with his people to extend the warp and woof of good government, the oilice of Chihanj! was created. As a | consequence of tiis measure, regulations will be made fixing | the incomes of the retainers, and the adminiat 1m i Han will be amnended in accordance with the principles of the reformed imperial government. In connection with and / as tollowing out these changes the appellatior Ka-taifu. aud.
