There remained, then, only Elepoo who could be made useful in this emergency ; for he had obtained a very great name for probity, even amongst foreigners. As he had not yet reached his place of exile, he was recalled by Taou-kwang, and forthwith commenced his ourney, to make proposals for peace. He, THE BRITISH FLEET IN THE RIVER. 185 however, not having plenipotentiar} r powers, it was in vain that he asked for a cessation of hostilities, and pleaded the expediency of a compromise, by sending ...back the British prisoners.
The British fleet having- finally entered the Yang-tse-kiang, it was thought that Woo- sung, which had been fortified the whole length of the shore, would prove a barrier to the encroaching barbarians. The governor- general was himself present, and to stimulate the courage of his soldiers, distributed small pieces of paper, calling upon the warriors to fight to the last. The general response was, " Wan-suy-yuy, " — long live the Emperor, — and the shouts of the multitudes of fighting- men rent the air.
