Mr. Med- hurst was interested, I think, in an experience which he would have considered it necessary to forbid if our purpose had been too distinctly announced ; and expressed his conviction that, before a fort- night was over, the Yangchow literati would have adopted another tone. His assurance was verified. With the British squadron anchored off Nanking, the Viceroy conceded his demands, appointing two officials of rank to accompany him to Yangchow and hold an inquiry into the case. The resul...t may be summed up in the following proclamation, which TERMS OF SETTLEMENT. 207 was issued by the Commissioners at the close of their labours : — Whereas we have received the instructions of their excel- lencies, the High Ministers for Foreign trade. Ma and Tseng, to adjust matters at Yangchow, we find that on August 22nd, 1868, evil-disposed persons excited the people of Yangchow to enter the house rented by the British subjects, Taylor and others, and violently assault and plunder the inmates, so as to lead to their eventual ejection from the premises, some of them in a seriously wounded condition ; and whereas the local authorities were clearly guilty of having neglected to avert the evil in the first instance, — it, therefore, became the duty of the high authorities, after clear examination into the circumstances, to order the degradation of the city ofiicials, the condign punishment of the ringleaders, the grant of due compensation to the sufferers, the repair of the house, and the restoration of its former inmates.
