The Viceroy at Canton says that three Years ago there was a rising of the Yao aborigines, who inhabit the north-west corner of his province, where it touches upon Hunan and Kuangsi. Officers were sent to quell the disturbance, and two bodies of troops were raised by them, one of one hundred, the other of five hundred men. At the end of the year, when order had been re-established, the first body and half of the second were disbanded, two hundred and fifty men being retained as a permanent force. During the four mouths that the whole turco was in existence, Ts. 12,000 were spent in pay and food for it. An expenditure of Tls. 4,100 was also incurred in building offices and guard houses at seven points. The Viceroy requests that these accounts may be passed.—Approved.
