Frederick F. Low to P. S.—Since writing the above we have received from Rev. G. E. Moule a copy of the order of arrest which is herewith inclosed. It will be seen that there are ten names included instead of eight. Those marked 0 have already been arrested; the others are said to be absent from, the city or in concealment. Mr. Moule states that the list includes the former owners of all the property now held by foreigners in the hsien (district) in which he lives, embracing the property held by the American Baptist Mission, American Presbyterian Mission, (North,) and the English Church Mission. We beg leave to inclose with this a note from Mr. Moule , which he has requested might be forwarded with this. Note .—The copy of the order of arrest, being little more than the names of the accused, is not sent to the Department. F. F. L, October 23, 1872
