THE CHINESE INSUBRECTION AND I'IUROPI<JAN I’0\\'EIlS. SHANGIIAE, Oct. 2|, I651.

The relations between the V\'estern Pow- ers and China are now in a critical state, and we are ﬁlled with anxiety as to the re- sult of Sir John Bow:-ing’s iiegoizitions at the Peilio, where he is now absent with the American Minister, and, if possible, they will press on to Poking. The Frciich .\lin- ister has been, for the present, prevented from accompanying them, through it misun- derstanding with tlic French Admiral. It is apparent to every thoughtful person here, that an unholy alliance between Liberalism and Romanism in our public men, is about to work most disastrous effects to Protestant ‘ missions in China. The French Minister, having no interests to watch but the ascend- ency ofthe Papacy in the East, is swayed by Jesuit admirers, who accompany him on every diplomatic mission; while Protestant missionaries have been systematically dis- couraged and hindered from visiting N ankin on board any English steamers. Sir John Bowring is lenguod with the French Minis- ter, and both are manifestly under the inﬂuence of Romish priests; and Jesuit counsels are likely to urge on the foreign Ministers to an armed foreign intervention ,agninst the Naultin party. Sir. John Bow- ring makes it manifest on every occasion, and threatens a violent putting down of Tue-ping-wang. He is understood to be endeavouring to extort from the Manchow Emperor the opening of the Yang-tze-keang to foreign vessels, and access into the whole of the interior. The price to be paid by foreign Powers to the Chinese Emperor for such an unprecedented boon and de-

'l'll l-1

parturc from the traditional exclusiveness ‘of_this dynasty, is not expressly stated. i It is well understood, however, that foreign ‘help against the Tae-ping insurgents is -contemplated. and that the only protection land ronicdy against so disastrous a policy l mainly consists in the ﬁrmness and contin- lued neutrality ofn Cabinet, in which it is 5 to be hoped Lord Palmerstoii’s constitution- ! nllnnddProtestant vic ilvs may be iuflueiitially

The llmperialists, already warned at various diplomatic interviews, will be on their guard, and will doubtless suffer foreign vessels to proceed unriiolcsted. But when a foreign vessel arrives off Nanltin, the serious danger begins; a danger which, in tlicinanngcinent of friendly hands, might easily be got over.

and punctilios of Chinese Court etiquette-, ~

g will probably induce the subordinate otlicials l of'l‘ac-ping-wang to claim from foreigners

in recognition of him as dc facto Emperor

E and “ Son of Heaven,” in the old phraseo-

logy ofthe Empire. In this delicate and ditiicultjuiicture, one long-headed foreign commander may embi-oil us in a collision- a collision which (I regret to say) would, in my view, be eagerly welcomed and forthwith acted upon by certain high diplo- matic persons with all the precipitate parti- zansbip of men glad to have an excuse for

i physical force sufficient to indemnify them with their respective Governments. and bout with the eager rc.-‘olvo of religious

,animosity or latitudinarian prejudice, on

lexterrniiiiiting and extinguishing the Tao-

' ping movcincnt.

The atrocious conduct nl foreign cap- tains helping the Impcrialists in their attacks upon Chin-keang-foo, and thc distrust felt by the Tat--ping Rcformers against foreign nations iuipoi-ting the pernicious opium-(Iriig, against whiclitlii.-y wage iiilcrne-cine war- fare, may account for their present unwil- lingness to enter into closer relations with European. Ifl‘rotestant missionaries, ﬂu- ently speaking their dialect, were tirst to visit them, paving the way for further general intercourse. rectifying their errors, and giving them the advantage of their counsels, there is great room for hope, that their haughty pretensions would be removed in good time, and the better counsels of moderation and humility pre- vnil.

As it is, however, they appear to get but a moderate portion ofjustice or conciliation from foreign Ministers; who, uncertain ofa lengthened tenure of office, and bent on doing something to distinguish their brief career—-evcu by a violent cutting asunder ofthe Gordian knot by the sword of armed intervention, rather than by patiently and skilfully unravelling the entanglements, the perplexities, and the ditiiculties of this criti- cal era in Chinese history—are on the brink of committing irretrievable errors, and taking most disastrous steps. The threats of an assault upon Nunkin are too

close our eye and blind our judgment to the fact, that the word of God is published and circulatcd by Tue-ping-wang himself, and that a Protestant version of the Chinese Scriptures among them may thus remedy, and repair, and correct past errors. Truth is more inﬂuential than falsehood. Yang’s missions and pretensions are no authorized foriiiulnry or exponent of the Tae-ping movement. In the last book, brought down by H. M. Rattler, from Nankin, and trans- lated in the Noi-(Ii China Herald of Sep- tember I6 last, there is much to encourage our mind. In this document, entitled the Land Regulations and political Economy if the Celestial Dynasty, the Holy Scriptures

and the decalogue are acknowledged, and

exalted as the text-book for the education of Chini.-se youth, and the test of oﬁicial merit throughout the empire. “ The holy books of the Old and Nero Testament” (sic)

are alone acknowledged as the depository of religious truth, and the base of moral in- struction. For every twenty-ﬁve families there is to be it church. The youth are to attend daily, and the adults, of both sexes,

every Sabbath. Preaching, thanksgiving

and services are to be conducted by an ap- pointed oﬂicer. The “ Ten command: if heaven” are recognized as binding upon all public oflicers, and obedience thereto is included among the pre-requisites to prefer- tncnt and a trial of popular merit.

Judging, therefore, by comparison, it is easily perceived how far greater are the hopes for Protestant missions, from a Bible- hououring and Bible-distributing dynasty, above the cruel and corrupt Tartar dynasty,

conspicuous in the tone and temper of foreign otlicials, for us to remain in any reasonable doubt as to their intentions. But will the British Cabinet sanction, or the Christian Legislature of England tamely look on and permit such an outrage and wrong? To prop up the Manchow dynasty by such means is merely to uphold ti semi- barbarous and Pagan powcr—oppressivc, illibernl, and exclusive towards foreigners ——violcnt, cruel, and unjust in their doincs-, tic gove-rnmcnt—nn epitome, inoilcl, and i type, of all the vices, crimes, and t'lI)tl.‘?eS: which I)laCl(CIt the historical page of Orien- ' ital dcspotisms, and the perscvering adu-r-I, lsnry of all civili'/.atiou from without, OI‘ ofg limprovement from within.

can save the Manchuians. trust that with

such men as Lords Shattesbury, Herr-owby,

and Chichester, in one House of Parliament,

and with Lords Palmerston and John Rus-

sell in the other, the British Legislature

will not suffer a policy so destructive of the interests of Protestant missions, and of the best hopes of China, to be carried into exe- cution, througli the joint machinations of the Romanist party, hating the iconoclast demolisliers alike ofBuddliistic and Romish idols, and ofa Latitudinnrian and Laodicean Plenipotentiary, who employed liberty and democracy as the ladder on which he climb- cd to oﬂicc, and then kicked aside, on the first occasion, the convenient instrument of his own ambition. It is not the ﬁrst time when Liberalism and Romanism have con- spii-cd together against the liberties ofman- kind and the religious emancipation of the world.

But we do not despair. God will honour,

and is honouring the faithful proclamation of his truth in this land.
