This decree we issued in hope of removing the old feud between our people and the native Christians. Extreme kindness was shown to the strangers from afar, but these people knew no gratitude, and increased their encroachments.
" A despatch was yesterday sent by them call- ing upon us to deliver up the Taku forts into their keeping. Otherwise they would be taken by force. These threats are a sample of their ag- gressive disposition in all matters relating to international intercourse. We have ne...ver been wanting in courtesy, but they, while styling them- selves civilized states, have acted without regard for right, relying solely on their military prowess.
We have now reigned nearly thirty years, and have treated the people as our children, while the people have honored us as their deity. In the midst of our reign we have been the recipient of the gracious favor of the Empress Dowager.
Furthermore, our ancestors have come to our aid.
The gods have answered our call, and never has there been so universal a manifestation of loyalty and patriotism.
