Downfall of Prince Kuwj—Uh Acre anion to the Regency In ISO! Public Tribute to hit Merit —Sudden Overthrow—Supposed Ommt— Res toration to Sundry Office*—Power of the Two J-juprtssts—lll Omen of Stability. [Correspondence of the New York Times.J Pkiuk, Tuesday, April 18,I8fir,. A revolution has just Imeu consummated in the court of Pekin, which, though defi cient in tragic interest, is worth recordin'' as illustrating some characteristics of this peo ple and their government. Four years ago your readers will recollect the Prince of Kuug obtained the reins of power by what was dignified as a c mg, d'etat. His nephew, a child ot six or seven years ha«l succeeded the late Emperor under the title oi Kesiong; and several ambitious princes, who had possession of his person, were supposed to be building schemes of self ajjgrnudizeineut on the weakness of a mi nority reign. The Prince of Rung stood in their why, and it was alleged that they were already plotting his destruction; when prompted by bis father-in-law, the sagacious old Kweiiiang, he seized the chiet coaspira tois aud put two of them to an iguomioious death. Anew regency was formed, in which the power was nominally vested iu Hie two Empresses, but really exercised by the Prince of Kuug. The two ladies, who, contrary to the salic usages of Chino, were thus made representa tives of Imperial Majesty, are the mother of the young Emperor, ana the principal wife of his late Majesty, liieufung. And it is re markable that up to the present hour, so far as the outside world is informed, they have continued to exercise their joint sovereignly without tlie slightest indications of jealousy or dissension. Perhaps their harmony was due to the fact that hitherto their first sover eignty has been but a shadow. Os the Prince, it is not too much to say that, though a man of very moderate abili ties, lie has discharged his responsible office with exemplary fidelity. No thought of set ting aside his imperial protege , seems even to have entered his mind, and by the judicious employment of wise counsellors, his admin istration lims brought the empire safely, through a period of great peril. Indeed, the public sense of his eminent services was strongly expressed in an edict from the throne, which was issued shortly after the recovery of Nanking. “The Prince ot Kung,” says His Majesty, instructed by the two dowagers, “has now held tlie regency for three years. And dur ing a period when affairs have been in a most critical state, he has evinced masterly talent —in tlie navy he has conducted the adminis tration, in employing men of ability to carry on military operations, in providing for the wants of-the army, aud in every other way.” The decree concludes with a list of honors to he conferred on the EKuee and his de scendants. While all this was fresh in the memory of all readers of the Peking (Jazette, what was our surprise to see, in the Gazette of the 3d inst., another decree, of whicli the following is a translation: ‘We (the Young Emperor) issue our com mand for the instruction ot the Princes and great officers of the Inner Palace. The two Empresses inform us that one Tsaisheuke, a censor, has accused tlie Prinee-of-Kung of partiality, avarice, pride, and the usurpation of authority, and all these to such a degree as to render himself an object of public cen sure. Now, how can one who is guilty of such grave oftences be longer allowed to take the lead in publie affairs '( For though the evidence adduced is not clear, there is ob viously some foundation for the charges, and the Prince has gone to an inconceivable length in his blind career. At the outset, when deoorated with the title of Regent, he was diligent and active. But subsequently be became, indolent and haughty ; and rely ing on his high position, ventured to make light of the imperial dignity. Taking ad vantage of onr tender age, he has assumed a dictatorial tone, and attempted to sow dis sension in the Imperial family—a charge which we cannot investigate at present.— Moreover, when obeying our summons, he daily came to tlie presence of the throne, he wore a swaggering, disrespectful air, and constantly-indulged in fraudulent representa tions. Now, should We take no notice of these of fences, we should find ourselves in a strait, as to th<j_agents to be employed, when we come to take the reins ot government into our own bands. We accordingly ordain that the Prince of Rung shall no longer preside in the Grand Council; that lie be stripped of every official function, and participate in no way in public affairs. This we ordain out of a lenient regard lor his own welfare.” Scarcely more startling or unexpected was a decree which appeared just nine days after. The little Emperor is again the speaker, and, as on the former occasion, like a puppet he was made to utter the- shr ill treble of his mother s offended pride, so now he expresses her (or their) relenting wrath “We,” says His Majesty, “have just re ceived a communication-from the Two Do im agers, of whom one wears the title of Ten derness and Peace, and the other that of Tenderness and Joy. Its purport is as fol lows : Certain princes and high officials, having beep ordered to report on the con duct of the Prince of Krx'f- expressed the opinion that, though pot free froip guilt, he Is still Worthy of a place on the list of public servants. This opinion was referred to a larger committee for rpature consideration, 'jhat committe has now brought in a joint report confirmatory of it, in which they beg that, as the Prince of Rung is of imperial blood and high position, we will grant him an opportunity for reformation.” And one of their number, a censor, presents a seper ate memorial, in which he says, “that the discussal of the Prince would prove a source of distrust in the bosom of the Imperial family, and that dissepsions lyin" so near the root of the empire, would spread consterna tion from China to foreign lauds,” while it would only aggravate the troubles of the hour. These are mighty words, though it is evident that the censor has not understood the spirit by which tbo throne is animated in this transaction. The Emperor then reads the Prince a lecture, and proceeds to restore him to a portion of his of wlfieh the most important is the chief management of Foreign Affairs. Other memorials have been published ex tolling the merits of Prince Rung ; and one from "the Prince's elder brother goes so far as to assert that “merits are conspicuous in the eyes of the whole empive, while the faults are remote from aud the in dictment unsnstalned by evidence.” • The storm is over, and we are left to spec ulate as to its orign. Prince Rung has bent before jt as a reed before the windT By this pliancy he has escaped destruction, and even regained a portion of his honors. Bpt what ever titles may hereafter lie restored, he can never be what lie once was. Il}s regency is at an epd. The real power is now in the hands of the Empresses, as they have learn ed by tlii* occurrence. Indeed, admitting that the immediate provocative, of fbojr ire was some want of doffence on bis part, it is still prabable that the main object of the whole transaction was to subject the ques tion of authority to the test ot experiment. Though no blood has been shed, the augu ry is not good for the peace of the empire. The jealousy which found an object in Prince lyupg may yet find a higher mark, aud the two Empresses engage In a conflict for In fluence over the mind ot the young monarch- Their tenure of power only continues during his minority, aud it can hardly be expected they will both be content to retire quietly Into the obscurity of the seraglio. Vpder the auspices of Prince Rung, the minority reign has hitherto - beep stable nnc| regular. The government has enjoyed, in an increasing degree, the confidence est- For eign Powers, ami appeared to be slowly emerging from the sea of domestic troubles. Lndcr the new regime will It continue to maintain its credit, and fulfill the promise of returning prosperity; or will the morning of the new reign be overcast with court cabals and domestic feuds ?
