The Attack on Dr. Greig

The Rey. James Carson, of the Irish

Presbyterian Mission, Newchwang, which Dr, Greig belonged, sends us from Ku ce a translation of a prockan tion issued some time ago by the Tartai of Kirin, giving the result of his investigation of the charge brought against Dr. Greig Mr, Carson writes that the proclamation had only just reached him, although posted up in Kirin note than a' mouth, and the agent of the Mission had considerable ditticulty in procuring a copy. It is interesting as giving the Chinese version of the affair, und corroborates in all important particulars the account of the outrage which already appeared. Ni course it is consider ably modified and toned down, Dr. Greig has been ordered home by the doctors whom he consulted ju Shanghai and in Chefoo, they being all of opinion that it will take a year at home to restore hits to health.
