DR. PARKER OF THE CHINA MISSION, in a letter recently received, says, that a report came to his ears that a native Chinese had memorialized the Emperor in relation to Christianity, forwarding at the same time specimens of Tracts, & c., and that the Emperor had returned an answer in which he said that the publication of such Tracts was calculated to promote virtue and happiness, and ought to be encouraged. Dr. Parker wrote to the governor to ascertain whether this was indeed the fact. The governor in a very curious reply, confirms the report, and added that the Emperor had concluded to excuse those who embraced the Christian religion, and believed in such Tracts, from the punishment usually inflicted.
