Property, it is true, is that on which the subsistence of the people depend*. Yet a deficiency of it may be supplied, and an im- poverished people improved ; whereas it is beyond the power of any artificial means to save a people enervated by luxury . In the history of Formosa we find the following passage : " Opium was first produced in Kaoutsinne, which by some is said to be the same as Kalapa (or Batavia). The natives of this place were at the first sprightly and active, and, being good sol-... diers, were always successful in battle. But the people called Hung-maou (Red-haired), came thither, and hav- ing manufactured opium, seduced some of the natives into the habit of smoking it. From these the mania for it rapidly spread throughout the whole nation ; so that, in process of time, the natives became feeble and enervated, submitted to the foreign rule, and ultimately were completely subjugated^' Now the English ARE OF THE RACE OF FOREIGNERS CALLED HuNG- MAOU. In INTRODUCING OPIUM INTO THIS COUNTRY, THEIR PURPOSE HAS BEEN TO WEAKEN AND ENFEEBLE the Central Empire.
