is some six or eiglitacres of wood and timber,

notice of the Island of Maco, the first’
place which the wanderer to Cliitia falls ill.
with. Macao is a small, rocky pl‘Ol)')ll0t‘_V:
about ‘.0 miles South ofCanton and con-'

It is an ancient Portuguese settlement and.

giiese and Chinese. The former‘ have;
three forts on the Island, and on tlienzirtli-l

C-amocns the great P0l‘l.l.lQ‘€Se Poet wrote’
his grand Epic, The Liisizid. A wooden
montimeiit and leaden image disgrace the"-
spot. On the South end are several Chi-2
nese temples fantasticttlly built and filledi
with idols, altars, and other emblems of
their religion—every tliing, the idols par.
ticularly, very pleasantly ornamented with
gold lcafand tinsel. lti China there‘ are
three sorts of reli_,r_ii0n-—-tl.at of Confticuis
for the learned and liberal classes; there-
ligion of Latidsa, (we did not catch this
name very distinctly) for the middle class,
and l.uddhisn'i for the poor. The Empe
ror is an llt‘I‘E‘(lli, ai'yl3tit’dliist, biitis also a
follower of Confucius. There is no pro-
hibition of religion in China, nor any es-
tablishcd State religion. Not even the
Christian religion would have been pro-
scribed had it not been for the quarrels a-
mong-tlie early missionaries themselves,
who a"ter tnucli bickering among them-
selves, had called in the authority of the
‘Pope to settle the matter. This interfe-
rence of a foreign potentate in the affairs
of his kingdom aroused the deepest indig-
nation of the Emperor, and its immediate
result was the prohibition of the Christian
‘ religion under pain of death, thronglioi.it'
his vast empire. Mr. ‘-V. then proceeded;
to institute a comparison between the,
Catholic religionand the Buddliism oftliel
lower orders of the Chinese. , Botli liad_
cdthem. He made a comparative calcula-
tion and estimate by which he proved the
capacity of China proper Sllbslst 240,000,-
000-while Chinese Tartary had probably
ti population of 70,00U,00t')-——thtis ov: ri un-
nitig the Ceiticse estimate, which is 300,-
000,000 for the whole. In regard to the
subject ofsmall feet, Mr. V\"'ebstcr saitl
that tltc Chinese iiianifested as much as
lOlll.~‘.llt!lClll. at the small waists of the A-
merican womati. asthese, in their small
feet—-warited to know if sticli waists were
not very paiiifttl and distressing. They
have a good tnany beggars in Catiton but
not more in proportion than in European
countries. lihe Government piirsties a
rigid course oftionititerfereiice in the af-
fairs of this favored class. They are
entitled by law;to visit any man's dwelling
or shop teey please and make all the noise
they can with lll€ll'—l1(£fzll'lOllS itistruments
of music, until they get two cash out of
him. If he is obstinate, they are patient ;
if he is all endurance they are all perse-
verance; aiid it becomes a most ltidicrous
contest between the most active and per-
severing annoyance oti the one side,'and
an appearance at least of the most stolid
indiffererice on the other. The Govern-
ment of China is patriarchal-—a pure, tin-
alloyed despotism. The Czar of Russia,
does not exercise powers near so axten-
sive or so complete as the Emperor of the
Chinese. He is not only the owner of all
the soil and wealth in the Empire the ab-
solute arbiter of the lives and fortunes of
his subjects—tlie or ginator and enibodi-
ment of all law and justice—but the me-
diator between Earth and Heaven—the
direct interpreter of God himself. The
Empire is divided into provinces, each of
which has a Governor appointed by the
iilinperor atid directly responsible to him
for the good order, tranquility and virttire
of his Province. These Provinces are,
si_ibd{;x.itled into Districts, Towns and Hun-5

seldom escape, every body being respon-
sible for every body else. Though the in-
nocent may suffer for the guilty, for nearly
every crime, some one is puiiislied,-———the
proportion between crime and punishment
seems well settled, as the atnoutit of rain is
proportioned to evaporation;-—atid, like
the rain, punishment falls upon thejust and
the unjust.
The Code of Laws is exceedingly vol-
tiiiiitiotts. There are laws atid regulations
for every thing that is dotie or sui‘l'ered.-
All the minutitz of social custotiis and
tnantiers, modes of salutatioti, costume,
change ofdtess to suit the diflereiit seasons,
are prescribed by law. Wlien the l\’Itinda-'
riti puts on his winter cap, others put on
tlieirs,—-atid it is winter at least where he
governs.
(Mr. \Vebster here gave some account
of the present emperor, of Tartar descent,
who is said to owe his present etiiinence
to his gallant defence of his father, who
reigned during Lord ;\iacartney’s visit to
China. I is said that much treasure has
been accumulated in one of the Tartar
cities by the present dytiasty, under the
impression that they may lose their power
and be compelled to retire to thr-ir ancient
home. The dreadful ravages which atten-
ded the Tartar invasion were tiientiotied,
and the desolation of whole provinces, as
stated by the Dutch Ambassador then in
the Empire. Few changes were introduc-
ed except the tnode of wearing the hair,
the present mode being of Tartar origin,
and ord..-rel at once by the Tartar mon-
arch, that no dillerettces might continue
between the conquering and vanqi.-islied
race. This Tartar mode of wearing the

istic of the Chinese Government, and
which pervades all its raniific-ations,is that
each member of every family, every indi-
vidual is made directly responsible for the
good conduct of every one else. If a
crime is committed, the whole town, dis-
trict or province is held accountable, and
the magistrates and officers are especial
objects.of punishment. If one member of
a family commits a theft, the whole family
——father, mother, sons atid daughters——
are hamboed until the guilty one confesses
their idols and their, images, worship and;
prayer to saints, gifts, &c. ; both btirn in-'
(sense; the priests shave their heads,‘ &,c.’
The Chinese, however, are constanly ask-t
ing their gods and saints for the tnost triv-
ial things, anl do not pretend to do any
act of the least importance without invo-
king their aid and protection. ln every
house is an image oftlic God ofLongevity

versed with one of the lower classes, or
Btiddliists, who had never before heard of
such a thing as a future state ofexistence.
The personal appearance of the Chinese
is just such as we see them pictured; and
when a stranger sees tht-iii for the first
time strutting and waddling about with
tlxeirlong fail or que dangling from the
center of their shining polls, his first and
almost irresi.-table impulse is to catch hold
of these tails and pull their owners over.

The Emperor acts on the principle that,.
inasmuch as he maintains the Government
and exercises all the functions of legisla-
tion and execution, the. people whom l]0_
thus condescends to honor ought to make.‘
any sacrifice in .Ol'(l€l' to aid him. If the
authoritiesare vigilant and impartial, no
crimes can take place—if parents do their
pnty faitfully, children will be virtuous;
this is the imparial dogma, and one wliich
is very literally acted upon. A very stri-
king illustration of this was given in the
case of art American who lost his watch,
while making his way through a mob at
night. Witliout much expectation of re-
covering his property, he stated his (the
wattlh) case to a magistrate, who promised
him that his watch should be restorel in
three days. The first step was to collect
all the police oflicers in the place (abotit
100 pr Q00) together and throw them into
prison. One of tlie_ leading ones was then
talten by the l\lagistrates and to d that
he must find ‘that watch,’ and that all
his companions should remain imprisoned

higliest ofiicial rank.
Various Boards of Commissioners arel
occupied with the several bratiches ofpub-l
lic affairs and Dependant States. '1 his;
Board is said to have been that concerned;
in fortning the recent treaty with Great’
Britain; and it seetiis a sotnewhat cu-'
rioits fact, that on one side of the world,
the Anglo-Saxon race, in the person of the
English, should be ran‘..e<l as tributaries by
a Tartar Sovereign, while on the other
side, the Indians of that Soverei-gu’s race
should seek protection from their Gr. at

United States.
(The lecturer described very niinutely
the ceremonies of the great dinner given
by Keying to our Anil.-zissador itntiicttiate-
ly after the signing of the Treaty, which
began with fruits and ended with meats,

converse in avery loud voice; and to-

vated as their voices. After about two
hours spent in such intellectual inter-
change of civilities ,the august; bearers of

that the Chinese. are the very reverse of
us in everything, and that the moral inte-

are about-equal. The voyage from Macao

Mr. \Vebs*ter’s second Lecture.
Mr. VVebster observed that on the pre-
vious evening he had discontinued his re-
marks while on the subject of the Cliiiiese
police. But if the police was vigilant, the
theiifcs were most skillful and daring.-
VVbe'n about to enter it liottse for theft,they
oil their bodies, and fix short knives in
their hair, to cut the hands of those who
would_seize hold of it. They never go in-
to aldark room, btit choose to have ight
around them. Nor is it strange that their
theitlvs should‘ differ from ours, since the,
Chiilese as a people, are the yeverse of us
in eiterything. While a foreigner was a-
sleep in his room with a light,_ the window
being partly open, these theives slipped
softly in, one seizing the sword and gun of
the gentleman and watching his slumbers,
while the room was stripped of every ar-
ticlel in it.

"and of many arts and inventions, such as

and gunpowder, long known to them be-

A filial regard for the government is
‘planted in the tniiids of the people, and
among all sentiments that of respect for
‘parents and superiors is cherished as one
'of highest duty. Children are not enabled-
for the virtues of their parents, bu‘; parents
are rewarded for the virtues of their chil-
dren. Sotne will interpose and ask that
they may receive the punishment due to
their parents. Nor is this unusual. The
father is dectned to have a higher claim
upon his son than even a wife and chil-
dren. The son lik-e Eneas ofold would
hear his aged parent on his shoulders and
leave his wife and children to follow.—
Tombs and monuments are build in honor
or parents by the wealthy.
