The Tartar General at Hangchow reports the holding of the usual autumn inspection of the troops under his command armed with foreign rifles. He refers to an Imperial decree issued in the 4th year of the present reign which states that should the troops in question after the lapse of several years show signs of having been well drilled application may be made to reward one or two of the officers, In memorialist's opinion the resulte displayed at this last inspection justify him in making such application and would ask that the Colonel of the one battalion be granted the brevet rank of Brigadier General and that to the other be awarded a button of the second class.—Let the Board of War consider and report.
