ARTICLE II.

His Majesty the Emperor of China agrees, that British subjects, with their families and establishments, shall be allowed to reside, for the purpose of carrying on their mercantile pursuits, without molestation or restraint, at the cities and towns of Canton, Amoy, Foochow foo, Ningpo, and Shanghai; and Her Majesty the Queen of Great Britain, &c., will appoint Superintendents, or Consular Officers, to reside at each of the above-named cities or towns, to be the medium of communication between the Chinese authorities and the said merchants, and to see that the just duties and other dues of the Chinese Government, as hereafter provided for, are duly discharged by Her Britannick Majesty's subjects.

ARTICLE III.

It being obviously necessary and desirable that British subjects should have some port whereat they may careen and refit their ships when required, and keep stores for that purpose, His Majesty the Emperor of China cedes to Her Majesty the Queen of Great Britain, &c., the Island of Hong-Kong, to be possessed in perpetuity by Her Britannick Majesty, her Heirs and Successors, and to be governed by such laws and regulations as Her Majesty the Queen of Great Britain, &c., shall see fit to direct.

ARTICLE IV.

The Emperor of China agrees to pay the sum of six millions of dollars, as the value of the opium which was delivered up at Canton in the month of March, 1839, as a ransom for the lives of Her Britannick Majesty's Superintendent and subjects, who had been imprisoned and threatened with death by the Chinese High Officers.

ARTICLE V.

The Government of China having compelled the British merchants trading at Canton to deal exclusively with certain Chinese merchants, called Hong Merchants (or Co-Hong), who had been licensed by the Chinese Government for that purpose, the Emperor of China agrees to abolish that practice in future at all ports where British merchants may reside, and to permit them to carry on their mercantile transactions with whatever persons they please; and His Imperial Majesty further agrees to pay to the British Government the sum of three millions of dollars, on account of debts due to British subjects by some of the said Hong Merchants, or Co-Hong, who have become insolvent, and who owe very large sums of money to subjects of Her Britannick Majesty.

ARTICLE VI.

The Government of Her Britannick Majesty having been obliged to send out an expedition to demand and obtain redress for the violent and unjust proceedings of the Chinese High Authorities towards Her Britan- nick Majesty's Officer and subjects, the Emperor of China agrees to pay the sum of twelve millions of dollars, on account of the expences incurred; and Her Britannick Majesty's Plenipotentiary voluntarily agrees, on behalf of Her Majesty, to deduct from the said amount of twelve millions of dollars, any sums which may have been received by Her Majesty's combined forces, as ransom for cities and towns in China, subsequent to the 1st day of August, 1841.

The military post at Chinhai will also be withdrawn; but the Islands of Koolangsoo, and that of Chusan, will continue to be held by Her Majesty's forces until the money payments, and the arrangements for opening the ports to British merchants, be completed.

ARTICLE XIII.

The Ratification of this Treaty by Her Majesty the Queen of Great Britain, &c., and His Majesty the Emperor of China, shall be exchanged as soon as the great distance which separates England from China will admit; but in the meantime, counterpart copies of it, signed and sealed by the Plenipotentiaries on behalf of their respective Sovereigns, shall be mutually delivered, and all its provisions and arrangements shall take effect.

IV. Commercial Dealings

It having been stipulated whatever native merchants t fraudulently abscond or incur Chinese authorities, upon co do their utmost to bring the distinctly understood, that if dead, or bankrupt, and there merchants may not appeal to paying for one another, and made good to them.

GENERAL REGULATIONS, under which the British Trade is to be conducted at the Five Ports of Canton, Amoy, Foochowfoo, Ningpo, and Shanghai.

I. Pilots.

WHENEVER a British merchantman shall arrive off any of the five ports opened to trade, viz., Canton, Foochowfoo, Amoy, Ningpo, or Shanghai, pilots shall be allowed to take her immediately into port; and, in like manner, when such British ship shall have settled all legal duties and charges, and is about to return home, pilots shall be immediately granted to take her out to sea, without any stoppage or delay.

Regarding the remuneration to be given these pilots, that will be equitably settled by the British Consul appointed to each particular port, who will determine it with due reference to the distance gone over, the risk run, &c.

II. Custom-house Guards.

The Chinese Superintendent of Customs at each port will adopt the means that he may judge most proper to prevent the revenue suffering by fraud or smuggling. Whenever the pilot shall have brought any British merchantman into port, the Superintendent of Customs will depute one or two trusty Custom-house officers, whose duty it will be to watch against frauds on the revenue. These will either live in a boat of their own, or stay on board the English ship, as may best suit their convenience. Their food and expenses will be supplied them from day to day from the Custom-house, and they may not exact any fees whatever from either the Commander or Consignee. Should they violate this regulation, they shall be punished porportionately to the amount so exacted.

III. Masters of Ships reporting themselves on arrival.

Whenever a British vessel shall have cast anchor at any one of the above-mentioned ports, the Captain will, within four and twenty hours after arrival, proceed to the British Consulate, and deposit his ship's papers, bills of lading, manifest, &c., in the hands of the Consul; failing to do which, he will subject himself to a penalty of two hundred dollars.

For presenting a false manifest, the penalty will be five hundred dollars.

For breaking bulk and commencing to discharge, before due per- mission shall be obtained, the penalty will be five hundred dollars, and confiscation of the goods so discharged.

The Consul, having taken possession of the ship's papers, will imme- diately send a written communication to the Superintendent of Customs, specifying the register tonnage of the ship, and the particulars of the cargo she has on board; all of which being done in due form, permission will then be given to discharge, and the duties levied as provided for in the Tariff.

V.

Every English merchantn tioned five ports, shall pay t register-ton, in full of all char departure, of every description

VI. Imp

Goods, whether importe above-mentioned five ports, ar Tariff as now fixed and agr levied beyond those which are by an English merchant-vess or in the shape of tonnage-d done, the Superintendent of this being shown to the Britis! papers, and permit the vessel

or it will not be regarded. V

12

intendent of Customs will delay to insert the same in his books, thus affording an opportunity that the merits of the case may be duly tried and sifted.

VIII. Manner of Paying the Duties.

It is herein before provided, that every English vessel that enters any one of the five ports, shall pay all duties and tonnage-dues before she be permitted to depart. The Superintendent of Customs will select certain shroffs, or banking establishments, of known stability, to whom he will give licences, authorizing them to receive duties from the English mer- chants on behalf of Government, and the receipt of these shroffs for any moneys paid them shall be considered as a Government voucher.

In the paying of these duties, different kinds of foreign money may be made use of; but as foreign money is not of equal purity with sycee silver, the English Consuls appointed to the different ports will, according to time, place, and circumstances, arrange with the Superintendents of Customs at each, what coins may be taken in payment, and what per centage may be necessary to make them equal to standard or pure silver.

IX. Weights and Measures.

Sets of balance-yards for the weighing of goods, of money-weights, and of measures, prepared in exact conformity to those hitherto in use at the Custom-house of Canton, and duly stamped and sealed in proof thereof, will be kept in possession of the Superintendent of Customs, and also at the British Consulate at each of the five ports, and these shall be the standards by which all duties shall be charged, and all sums paid to Government. In case of any dispute arising between British merchants and Chinese officers of Customs, regarding the weights or measures of goods, reference shall be made to these standards, and disputes decided accordingly.

X. Lighters or Cargo Boats.

Whenever any English merchant shall have to load or discharge cargo, he may hire whatever kind of lighter or cargo-boat he pleases, and the sum to be paid for such boat can be settled between the parties them- selves, without the interference of Government. The number of these boats shall not be limited, nor shall a monopoly of them be granted to any parties. If any smuggling take place in them, the offenders will of course be punished according to law. Should any of these boat-people, while engaged in conveying goods for English merchants, fraudulently abscond with the property, the Chinese authorities will do their best to apprehend them; but, at the same time, the English merchants must take every due precaution for the safety of their goods.

XI. Transshipment of Goods.

No English merchant-ships may transship goods without special per- mission: should any urgent case happen where transshipment is necessary, the circumstances must first be submitted to the Consul, who will give a certificate to that effect, and the Superintendent of Customs will then send a special officer to be present at the transshipment. If any one presumes to transship without such permission being asked for and obtained, the whole of the goods so illicitly transshipped will be confiscated.

XII. Subordin

At any place selected for tl ships, there may be appointed as good conduct, to exercise due He must exert himself to preve and natives, this being of the ut the kind unfortunately take pla arrange it amicably.

ARTICLE IV.

After the five ports of Canton, Foochow, Amoy, Ningpo, and Shanghai, shall be thrown open, English merchants shall be allowed to trade only at those five ports. Neither shall they repair to any other ports or places, nor will the Chinese people at any other ports or places be permitted to trade with them. If English merchant-vessels shall, in contravention of this agreement, and of a Pro- clamation to the same purport, to be issued by the British Plenipotentiary, repair to other ports or places, the Chinese Government Officers shall be at liberty

any to seize and confiscate both vessels and cargoes; and should Chinese people be discovered clandestinely dealing with English merchants at any other ports or places, they shall be punished by the Chinese Government in such manner as the law may direct.

ARTICLE V.

The fourth clause of the General Regulations of Trade, on the subject of commercial dealings and debts between English and Chinese merchants, is to be clearly understood to be applicable to both parties.

ARTICLE VI.

It is agreed that English merchants and others residing at, or resorting to, the five ports to be opened, shall not go into the surrounding country beyond certain short distances to be named by the local authorities, in concert with the British Consul, and on no pretence for purposes of traffic. Seamen and persons belonging to the ships shall only be allowed to land under authority and rules which will be fixed by the Consul, in communication with the local officers; and should any persons whatever infringe the stipulations of this Article, and wander away into the country, they shall be seized and handed over to the British Consul for suitable punishment.

ARTICLE VII.

The Treaty of perpetual Peace and Friendship provides for British subjects and their families residing at the cities and towns of Canton, Foochow, Amoy, Ningpo, and Shanghai, without molestation or restraint. It is accordingly determined that ground and houses, the rent or price of which is to be fairly and equitably arranged for, according to the rates prevailing amongst the people, without exaction on either side, shall be set apart by the local officers, in commu- nication with the Consul, and the number of houses built, or rented, will be reported annually to the said local officers by the Consul, for the information of their respective Viceroys and Governors; but the number cannot be limited, seeing that it will be greater or less, according to the resort of merchants.

ARTICLE VIII.

The Emperor of China having been graciously pleased to grant to all foreign countries whose subjects or citizens have hitherto traded at Canton, the privilege of resorting for purposes of trade to the other four ports of Foochow, Amoy, Ningpo, and Shanghai, on the same terms as the English, it is further agreed, that should the Emperor hereafter, from any cause whatever, be pleased to grant additional privileges or immunities to any of the subjects or citizens of such foreign countries, the same privileges and immunities will be extended to, and enjoyed by, British subjects; but it is to be understood, that demands or requests are not on this plea to be unnecessarily brought forward.

ARTICLE XIII.

All persons, whether natives of China or otherwise, who may wish to convey goods from any one of the five ports of Canton, Foochowfoo, Amoy, Ningpo, and Shanghai, to Hong-Kong, for sale or consumption, shall be at full and perfect liberty to do so, on paying the duties on such goods, and obtaining a pass, or port clearance, from the Chinese Custom-house at one of the said ports. Should natives of China wish to repair to Hong-Kong to purchase goods, they shall have free and full permission to do so; and should they require a Chinese vessel to carry away their purchases, they must obtain a pass, or port-clearance, for her at the Custom-house of the port whence the vessel may sail for Hong-Kong. It is further settled, that in all cases these passes are to be returned to the officers of the Chinese Government, as soon as the trip for which they may be granted shall be completed.

ARTICLE XIV.

An English officer will be appointed at Hong-Kong, one part of whose duty will be to examine the registers and passes of all Chinese vessels that may repair to that port to buy or sell goods; and should such officer at any time find that any Chinese merchant-vessel has not a pass, or register, from one of the five ports, she is to be considered as an unauthorized or smuggling vessel, and is not to be allowed to trade, whilst a report of the circumstance is to be made to the Chinese Authorities. By this arrangement, it is to be hoped that piracy and illegal traffic will be effectually prevented.

ARTICLE XV.

Should natives of China who may repair to Hong-Kong to trade, incur debts there, the recovery of such debts must be arranged for by the English Courts of Justice on the spot; but if the Chinese debtor shall abscond and be known to have property, real or personal, within the Chinese territory, the rule laid down in the fourth clause of the General Regulations for Trade shall be applied to the case; and it will be the duty of the Chinese Authorities, on appli- cation by, and in concert with, the British Consuls, to do their utmost to see justice done between the parties. On the same principle, should a British merchant incur debts at any of the five ports, and fly to Hong-Kong, the British Authorities will, on receiving an application from the Chinese Govern- ment officers, accompanied by statements and full proofs of the debts, institute an investigation into the claims, and, when established, oblige the defaulter or debtor to settle them to the utmost of his means.

ARTICLE XVI.

It is agreed, that the Custom-house officers at the five ports shall make a monthly return to Canton, of the passes granted to vessels proceeding to Hong- Kong, together with the nature of their cargoes; and a copy of these returns will be embodied in one return, and communicated once a-month to the proper English officer at Hong-Kong. The said English officer will, on his part, make a similar return or communication to the Chinese Authorities at Canton, showing the names of Chinese vessels arrived at Hong-Kong, or departed from that port, with the nature of their cargoes; and the Canton Authorities will apprize the Custom-houses at the five ports, in order that, by these arrange- ments and precautions, all clandestine and illegal trade, under the cover of passes, may be averted.

Proclamation issued by Sir Henry Pottinger.

SIR HENRY POTTINGER, Bart., G.C.B., Her Britannick Majesty's Plenipotentiary, &c., &c., in China, has the gratification to announce, for the general information and guidance of all subjects of Her said Majesty, that he has concluded and sealed, with the High Commissioner appointed by His Imperial Majesty the Emperor of China to treat with him, a Commercial Treaty, stipulated for in the Definitive Treaty of Peace, signed at Nanking on the 29th day of August, 1842, and the ratifications of which Definitive Treaty of Peace have been lately exchanged under the Signs Manual and Seals of Her Majesty the Queen of Great Britain and Ireland, &c., and His Majesty the Emperor of China.

Her Britannick Majesty's Plenipotentiary, &c., now publishes the Export and Import Tariff, and the Regulations of trade, which have been, after the most searching scrutiny and examination, fixed and finally agreed upon, and which Tariff and Regulations of trade are to be promulgated in Chinese, simultaneously with this Proclamation, accompanied by a Proclamation on the part of the Imperial Commissioner, &c.

Her Britannick Majesty's Plenipotentiary, &c., trusts, that the provisions of the Commercial Treaty will be found in practice mutually advantageous, beneficial, and just, as regards the interests, the honour, and the future augmented prosperity of the Governments of the two mighty Contracting Empires, and their subjects: and his Excellency most solemnly and urgently calls upon all subjects of the British Crown, individually and collectively, by their allegiance to their Sovereign, by their duty to their country, by their own personal reputation, respect, and good name, and by the integrity and honesty which is due from them as men, to the imperial rights of the Emperor of China, not only to strictly conform and act up to the said pro- visions of the Commercial Treaty, but to spurn, decry, and make known to the world, any base, unprincipled, and traitorous overtures which they, or their agents or employés, may receive from, or which may be in any shape made to them, by any subject of China-whether officially connected with the Government, or not-towards entering into any collusion or scheme for the purpose of evading, or acting in contravention of, the said provisions of the Commercial Treaty.

Her Britannick Majesty's Plenipotentiary, &c., will not allow himself to anticipate or suppose, that the appeal which he now makes to all Her Majesty's subjects will be unheeded, or overlooked, by even a single indivi- dual; but at the same time it is his duty, in the responsible and unprece- dented situation in which he has been placed by the course of events, to distinctly intimate, that he is determined, by every means at his disposal, to see the provisions of the Commercial Treaty fulfilled by all who choose to engage in future in commerce with China; and that in any case where he may receive well-grounded representations from Her Majesty's Consuls, or from the Chinese Authorities, that such provisions of the Commercial Treaty have been evaded (or have been attempted to be so), he will adopt the most stringent and decided measures against the offending parties; and where his present powers may not fully authorize and sanction such measures as may seem to him fitting, he will respectfully trust that the Legislature of Great Britain will hold him indemnified for adopting them, in an emergency directly compromising the national honour, dignity, and good faith in the estimation of the Government of China, and in the eyes of all other nations.

With reference to the arrangements which the High Commissioner and his colleagues have made in regard to duties, every thing has been done with a single eye to a just impartiality: all merchants, then, whether of China or of foreign countries, are called upon to consider the many pains that the High Commissioner and his colleagues have taken, and by all means to abide in the quiet pursuit of their respective callings, and in the enjoyment of so auspicious a peace. From henceforward amity and goodwill shall ever con- tinue, and those from afar and those who are near shall perpetually rejoice together. Such is the fervent hope of the High Commissioner and his col- leagues; and in this hope they command implicit obedience to what is now thus specially promulgated.

Every English merchantman, on entering any one of the above-mentioned five ports, shall pay tonnage-dues at the rate of five mace per register-ton, in full of all charges. The fees formerly levied on entry and departure, of every description, are henceforth abolished.

VI. Import and Export Duties.

Goods, whether imported into, or exported from, any one of the above- charged according mentioned five ports, are henceforward to be taxed according to the Tariff as to tariff, and to be now fixed and agreed upon, and no further sums are to be levied beyond subject to no other those which are specified in the Tariff. All duties incurred by an English merchant-vessel, whether on goods imported or exported, or in the shape of tonnage-dues, must first be paid up in full; which done, the Superintendent of Customs will grant a port-clearance, and this being shown to the British Consul, he will thereupon return the ship's papers, and permit the vessel to depart.

VII. Goods to be examined by Custom-house

VII. Examination of Goods at the Custom-house.

Every English merchant, having cargo to load or discharge, must give due intimation thereof, and hand particulars of the same to the Consul, who will immediately dispatch a recognized linguist of his own establishment to officer, in presence communicate the particulars to the Superintendent of Customs, that the goods may be duly examined, and neither party subjected to loss. The English merchant must also have a properly qualified person on the spot to attend to his interests when his goods are being examined for duty; otherwise, should there be complaints, these cannot be attended to.

VIII. Duties to

shroffs.

Regarding such goods as are subject by the Tariff to an ad valorem duty; if the English merchant cannot agree with the Chinese officer in fixing a value, then each party shall call two or three merchants to look at the goods, and the highest price at which any of these merchants would be willing to purchase, shall be assumed as the value of the goods.

To fix the tare on any article, such as tea; if the English merchant cannot agree with the Custom-house officer, then each party shall choose so many chests out of every hundred, which being first weighed in gross, shall after- wards be tared, and the average tare upon these chests shall be assumed as the tare upon the whole; and upon this principle shall the tare be fixed upon all other goods in packages.

If there should still be any disputed points which cannot be settled, the English merchant may appeal to the Consul, who will communicate the par- ticulars of the case to the Superintendent of Customs, that it may be equitably arranged. But the appeal must be made on the same day, or it will not be regarded. While such points are still open, the Superintendent of Customs will delay to insert the same in his books, thus affording an opportunity that the merits of the case may be duly tried and sifted.

VIII. Manner of Paying the Duties.

It is hereinbefore provided, that every English vessel that enters any one be paid to licensed of the five ports, shall pay all duties and tonnage-dues before she be per- mitted to depart. The Superintendent of Customs will select certain shroffs, or banking establishments, of known stability, to whom he will give licences, authorizing them to receive duties from the English merchants on behalf of Government, and the receipt of these shroffs for any moneys paid them shall In the paying of these duties, be considered as a Government voucher.

If, unfortu- nately, any disputes take place of such a nature that the Consul cannot arrange them amicably, then he shall request the assistance of a Chinese officer, that they may together examine into the merits of the case, and decide it equitably.

COPY of a DESPATCH from the Right honourable the Earl of Auckland to Sir John Hobhouse.-(Received 2 July 1841.)

Sir,

Fort William, 10 May 1841.

I HAVE the honour to forward and to request that you will submit to Her Majesty's Government the accompanying copy of a despatch which I have this day addressed to Her Majesty's Plenipotentiaries on the coast of China, with reference to the intelligence of the state of affairs to the end of March last, received by the Company's steam-vessel "Queen." I append also copies of letters addressed by me to the Naval Commander-in-Chief and to Major-general Sir Hugh Gough, acknowledging their reports of the operations which terminated in the advance upon Canton, and the placing of that city at the mercy of Her Majesty's forces.

I trust that the observations which I have offered to the plenipotentiaries on the course of the proceedings of the expedition during the present year will be in accordance with the views of Her Majesty's Government.

In a despatch addressed to the Secret Committee of the Court of Directors, a full detail has been given of the measures adopted by the Government of India for complying with the requisitions of the Naval Commander-in-Chief, and of Sir Hugh Gough, for reinforcements of every description.

It has been my object, in addressing the Plenipotentiaries, to urge them to direct the employment of the expedition with the utmost possible promptitude and vigour, and I heartily hope that the measures to be adopted will be successful in their execution and satisfactory in their results; but I may in this place add, that from the lateness of the season, the limited means at disposal for land opera- tions, from the difficulty of navigation in the dangerous seas of China, and from the stubborn temper of the Chinese Court, this hope may be partially disappointed; and it will be for the authorities in England eventually to determine in what manner and upon what scale a third campaign, should a third campaign become necessary, is to be conducted.

The Government of India may be able to send some reinforcements of native troops to China, but we should not be justified in further weakening the European force now in this country. One early measure of reinforcement from England appears to be obviously expedient, namely, the sending directly to Hong Kong (touching, of course, for orders, at Singapore) the recruits necessary to fill up their complement, the 18th, the 26th and 55th regiments; I have not named the 49th, as possibly the General Commanding in Chief may have designated that corps, in consequence of their long service in India, for early return to England; and this remark might, perhaps, also be applied to the 55th, which left England in the same year as the 49th; but it is a most valuable and efficient corps, and it might, perhaps, be retained for a service so entirely under the orders of Her Majesty's Government as that of the China expedition.

Upon the condition and wants of the naval force, his Excellency the Naval Commander-in-Chief will, no doubt, have addressed the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty.

Gentlemen,

I have, &c.

The possession of such a post would give a good basis for the operations of the following year, and I cannot but think that, politically, our second appearance in this manner at Chusan would be of great advantage.

24. The difficulty of supplying the troops with provisions during the winter, with a popu- lation from whom aid is not with any certainty to be expected, leads me to name only such a force for the occupation of an island post in the upper seas as would be adequate to protect themselves against attack. This force could receive addition, with the return of the favourable season, and arrangements might then be made for the more complete control and possession of the island, if the decision of Her Majesty's Government should be in favour of that proceeding. 25. Sufficient provisions must be taken from Macao and Hong-Kong to supply the troops on the island throughout the winter, independently of local resources, and the entire fleet ought to be similarly provisioned for the probable period of its absence in the upper seas.

of

Fort William, 12 May 1841. THE express which left this on the 22d ultimo, will have conveyed to your honourable Committee the official Gazette which contained the accounts of the brilliant successes that had attended the operations of Her Majesty's naval and military forces in the Canton waters, and had terminated in placing the important provincial capital itself at the mercy Her Majesty's arms.

2. The Gazette in question was the only document which we were able to transmit by the last opportunity; and we now propose to lay before your honourable Committee a succinct narrative of our proceedings since the arrival of his Excellency Sir Gordon Bremer, and a précis of the various measures we have adopted to supply the wants of the China expedition; and we trust a perusal of these will satisfactorily evince to the home authorities the anxiety and earnestness with which this government has been striving to co-operate in aid of Her Majesty's Government, and for the furtherance of the public service.

3. Your honourable Committee are aware that the Honourable Company's steamer 'Queen" arrived here with his Excellency Sir Gordon Bremer, on the 21st ultimo, and the "Madagascar" was announced two or three days subsequently. Both these vessels were found, on an examination of their keels and copper, to have sustained very considerable in- jury, and to require very extensive repair in order to render them really efficient for the im- portant service on which they are engaged. They have accordingly been placed in dock, and every exertion is being used by the officers of the steam department to make them thoroughly fit to return to their duties without one moment's unnecessary delay. His Excellency Sir Gordon Bremer will return in the "Queen" to his head quarters, and we hope that she will leave this on the 15th instant. The "Madagascar" may be unavoidably detained for some weeks later.

4. The eminent services rendered by the Company's iron steamer "Nemesis" (which your Committee will find most fully recorded in the Gazette before alluded to), suggested to Cons.: 20th April, us the propriety of attaching also the " Phlegethon" and "Proserpine" to the China expe- dition; and the papers marginally noted will inform your Committee that we have accord- ingly addressed instructions to Singapore and Ceylon, desiring the commanders of these vessels to proceed to Canton, and place themselves under the orders of his Excellency the Naval Commander-in-Chief.

5. In his letter, dated the 4th of May, his Excellency Sir Gordon Bremer, informed us that the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty were desirous that small vessels of light draft of water should be purchased or hired for the service of the China expedition, and added, that the "Sylph" a barque of 351 tons, which had been offered to be sold for the sum of 70,000 rupees, appeared likely to prove an eligible purchase. We have requested the survey officers of our marine department to examine this vessel on her arrival in port (hourly expected), and to state whether the price is fair and reasonable. If the report of her quali- fications is favourable, we shall advance the money asked for her, and charge the same as a debit to Her Majesty's Government.

6. The Company's pitot vessel "Lady William Bentinck," being at this moment unappro- priated (her duties of survey in the Bay of Bengal having ceased), has been, at the especial request of Sir Gordon Bremer, properly armed and equipped, and placed at his disposal as a tender to the naval squadron in the China seas. When fully equipped she will be valued by the proper officers, and transferred to Her Majesty's service. The value, so fixed, will stand as an item of charge on the general account of the expedition, and at the end of it she will remain in Her Majesty's service, or to be restored to the Company's at her then proper value, as may be determined by the authorities.

resources those authorities have reason to reckon upon from England or New South Wales, as well as from India.

16. The Marine Board have been requested to furnish statements showing the quantity of coal available in China, the estimated consumption per month for the steamers named in the margin, the quantity in store at Singapore (which is believed to be large, and to have been promised at a cheap rate) and the quantity in store at Point de Galle. We have at the same time intimated to the Marine Board that a despatch from Sidney of from 200 to 400 tons monthly may be calculated on, and have communicated to Her Majesty's Plenipo- tentiaries and the Board, our opinion that a well protected depôt for coals should be esta- blished at Hong Kong, when our settlement on that island has been matured. Your Committee will perceive from the document noted in the margin, that Mr. Bonham had purchased between 700 and 800 tons at six dollars per ton, which he expected soon to despatch to China.

17. We have likewise requested the Accountant-general to forward to us a quarterly return, exhibiting a statement of the entire expense incurred on account of Her Majesty's Government for the China expedition, with a view to enable your Committee to take such measures for the progressive adjustment of the sums at the debit of Her Majesty's Govern- ment, as you may deem most proper.

18. In this statement will be entered the lists and valuations of military and ordnance stores expended and returned, the charges for extra pay of troops, the hire of the transports, and other marine charges; value of commissariat supplies provided at the cost of the Indian Government; value of coal and marine supplies, and wear and tear of steamers, &c. calculated at the rate of 10 per cent. on the block and rigging.

19. We have requested the Government of Bombay to have arrangements in readiness for the quick conveyance to his destination of any successor to Admiral Elliot, who may come overland from England.

20. Certain proposed arrangements for the better conduct of the post-office, distribution of letters in China, and the establishment of a post-office at Hong Kong, are in contem- plation.

21. The papers here cited, contain various instructions we have issued to the Board and departments concerned, calling upon them to strain every nerve to expedite the completion of the arrangements devolving upon them respectively for affording aid and despatching reinforcements to the China expedition, and pointing out the very urgent necessity on the present occasion, of more than ordinary exertion in behalf of the public service.

22. In conclusion, we beg,in an Appendix, to annex for the information of your Committee, and as affording the means of a ready reference to detail, a précis on the following points not particularised in the foregoing portion of this depatch:

1. Ordnance stores.

2. Commissariat stores.

3. Medical stores.

and military force as may be considered by the Governor-general of India suffi- cient for the service which it may be called upon to perform; but it is desirable that you should proceed to China as soon as you can, if you find, on reaching Calcutta, that such a force is already gone thither; and you should accompany that force, if it shall be despatched to China after you reach Calcutta.

The first operation which the naval and military force will have to perform, if that operation is not accomplished before your arrival in China, will be the re-occupation of the island of Chusan; and that should precede any negotiation on your part. As soon as Chusan is occupied, you should establish yourself there, either on shore or on board ship, as you may find most convenient; and you should send from thence a communication to be forwarded to the Government at Pekin, announcing your arrival, and stating that you are ready to treat with any Plenipotentiary duly commissioned and furnished with full powers by the Emperor of China for that purpose.

It is for many reasons inexpedient that you should negotiate in the neighbour- hood of Canton. The distance of that point from Pekin would furnish fair excuses for delays, which would be highly inconvenient; and the Chinese nego- tiator would, in the neighbourhood of Canton, be exposed to many influences unfavourable to such a settlement as Her Majesty's Government require.

But you might negotiate either in the neighbourhood of Chusan, or at the mouth of the Peiho River; and you will use your discretion in fixing upon the one or the other of these points, according to circumstances. It appears to Her Majesty's Government, that if the state of the season, and other considerations, should leave you at liberty to choose between those two points, there would be some advantage in negotiating at the mouth of the Peiho, because of the near- ness of that point to Pekin, and because, on account of that nearness, the nego- tiation might more easily be brought to an early conclusion, one way or the other. If you should negotiate there, it is desirable that the Admiral should accompany you thither, and that he should take with him, if the season admits of it, such a force as might give a respectable character to the mission; but this is less important now than it would have been before the Chinese had felt the force of the British arms. On the other hand, if you should negotiate in the neigh- bourhood of Chusan, the Chinese Plenipotentiary would have before his eyes greater and more manifest evidences of the power of Great Britain; but then the distance between that point and Pekin might justify and even render necessary delays which it is desirable to avoid.

*

*

But whatever arrangements you may succeed in making with the Chinese Plenipotentiary, those arrangements must be embodied in a Treaty, to be signed by yourself and by the Chinese Plenipotentiary, in the name of your respective Sovereigns; and to be afterwards ratified by each Sovereign; and you should obtain a formal announcement of the ratification of the Treaty by the Emperor of China, before you can consider the Treaty as valid, and before you send it home for the ratification of Her Majesty. The Chinese ratification will of course not be actually placed in your hands till Her Majesty's ratification shall have reached you for the purpose of its being exchanged with that of the Emperor. But the payments ought to begin, and the other arrangements should take effect, as soon as the Emperor shall have ratified the Treaty.

Copy of a DESPATCH from Viscount Palmerston to Sir Henry Pottinger, Bart.

Sir,

Foreign Office, 2 June 1841.

SINCE my instructions of the 31st ultimo were written, information has reached this country, that towards the end of February hostilities had recom- menced between the British forces in China and the Chinese Authorities, and that the forts in the Canton river had been forced and taken possession of by the British forces, and that British troops had occupied the British factory at Canton.

Her Majesty's Government have not yet received the official accounts of these transactions, but may probably do so before the messenger departs from hence on the 4th to convey the overland mails to Marseilles. If those despatches should arrive before that day, and should lead to any change in the instructions

EXTRACT of a DESPATCH from Viscount Palmerston to Sir Henry Pottinger, Bart., dated Foreign Office, 5 June 1841.

SINCE the date of my instructions Nos. 16 and 17, despatches to the 28th of March have been received from Macao, and accounts from Calcutta of the 21st of April, which render necessary an alteration in the instructions above mentioned.

When those instructions were written, Her Majesty's Government were led by the accounts which they had received from China, to imagine that a provisional arrangement had been concluded between Captain Elliot and Ke-Shen; that in and virtue of that arrangement Chusan had been evacuated by the British forces; that a considerable part of those forces, naval and military, might possibly have been sent away from the China station.

Instructions indeed were sent out by the last monthly overland mail for the re- occupation of Chusan; but it was doubtful whether those instructions would have been carried into execution at the time when you will arrive in China, or whether you would find their execution still suspended in consequence of the necessity of waiting for the return of troops and ships from India.

Under those impressions you were instructed to communicate personally with Lord Auckland in your way to China, if your going round by Calcutta for the purpose of doing so would not so much delay your arrival in China as to prevent you from reaching Hong-Kong till the season was too far advanced for you to go up to Chusan or to the Peiho River for the purpose of negotiating.

But the accounts which have now been received from China show that affairs in that quarter were taking an entirely different course from that which the pre- ceding accounts had led Her Majesty's Government to expect. The arrange- ment agreed upon by Captain Elliot and Ke-Shen had been disavowed and rejected by the Emperor of China; and Ke-Shen had been disgraced for having consented to it. Hostilities had been re-commenced between the British and Chinese forces; all the forts on the Canton River had been taken by the British ; and British ships of war were lying opposite the factories at Canton. Chusan had indeed been evacuated, but no part of the naval or military force had been sent away from the China station; and, on the contrary, the Governor-General was going to send thither reinforcements both of troops and of ships, to enable the British commanders to execute those further operations which they intended to carry on against Amoy and in the Yang-tse-Kiang.

Under these circumstances, Her Majesty's Government think, on the one hand, that it is of still greater importance than before, that you and Sir William Parker should have full communication with Lord Auckland before you proceed to China; while, on the other hand, it matters less whether you arrive in China three weeks earlier or three weeks later.

According to the view of things upon which your former instructions were unless prepared, hostile operations against the Chinese were not to commence, and until your negotiations should have failed; and as hostile operations to the northward could not well be carried on after October, it was desirable that you should reach China as soon as possible, in order that there might still be time to strike a blow, if your negotiation should fail. But it now appears that hostilities began in February, and that the British commanders had the whole southerly monsoon before them for the prosecution of their operations, and therefore the commencement and progress of those operations will in no degree depend upon the time of your arrival.

Nor would the time of your arrival be important for the purpose of preventing the conclusion of any arrangement by other persons, on conditions inconsistent

disembark on the Peiho river a body of not less than from 7,000 to 10,000 troops, which shall have the means of marching on Pekin, and be capable of defeating any army that may be opposed to it, and thus placing the fate of the capital at our disposal.

10. It will be for Her Majesty's Government most seriously to consider this impor- tant subject, and to place the government of India in possession of their instruc- tions upon it, at latest, before the 1st January next, in order that timely measures I have may be taken for the execution of such orders during the season of 1842. before said that I would make no effort to obtain privileges of settlement on the mainland, which I should regard as a pregnant source of future embarrassment and troubles. But a clear treaty with the Emperor is, no doubt, an object of high national importance, and Her Majesty's Government can alone determine whether it may be proper to incur the sacrifices required for compelling an acquiescence in such a treaty.

11. I repeat that definitive orders on these points should be received in India before the 1st of January. It may then be possible (unless, indeed, new and extraordinary necessities should arise in India) to raise in this country, in augmen- tation of the armament already sent to China, and to have assembled at Hong- Kong, by the commencement of the favourable season, a fresh body of 5,000 native troops, with a sufficient number of officers, for this special service, and to add to them another Queen's regiment from the Indian establishments; such a reinforce- ment to the force already on the coast would, we may hope (provided that every regiment now in China shall be also filled up with recruits from England to a com- plement of 1,000 men), render it effective for the complete accomplishment of the orders of the Crown. The cost of such an additional armament, with transports, commissariat, &c., would, however, certainly not be less than 500,000l. per annum, and it would swell the whole yearly cost of that part of the expedition which is provided by the Government of India to nearly 1,200,000l.

12. As the greater part of this further force, supposing it to be sanctioned, would consist of native troops, its supply of provisions would be cared for from India. But it would be necessary, under any circumstances, to send as liberal a supply of provisions, and of ammunition and materials, as may be convenient from England, for the navy and the European portion of the military force, and for the general use of the expedition. I have not the means of furnishing accurate esti- mates on these points, to which I would, however, request the careful and early attention of the proper departments at home, which may be able to form some standard for their guidance by reference to the stocks which they caused to be for- warded to China for the service of the past and of the present year.

I would, however, observe that, upon a coast service, and in seas so uncertain as are those of China, we must look for frequent accidents, and that no opportunity should be lost in sending out reinforcements, particularly in ships of light draft, and adapted to river movements; and, in the event of protracted operations, I would strongly dwell upon the advantage of our having more ships fitted out, and equipped, and officered, and manned, as are the Jupiter" and "Rattlesnake," expressly for the conveyance of troops; with two or three more of such ships, we might probably, with economy, dispense with a large number of the transports now held in pay, and for the security of naviga- tion and safety of the troops, as well as for the efficiency of the service, the measure appears to me to be most desirable.

13. You will take immediate measures for the preparation of this force, and for the hiring of transports for their conveyance. Being thus early instructed as to the amount of tonnage required, you will be enabled, we conclude, to engage a portion of it on moderate terms at Bombay, and to bring such transports round to Madras, in time to convey the reinforcements from thence to Singapore, by the middle of April. It is our earnest desire that the whole force to be sent from India and this country for service in China, during 1842, should be col- lected at Singapore by the second week in April; and we rely upon every exer- tion being made on your part to effect this essential object.

14. We are led to think that, after making ample provision for the packet- service, you will have disposable in 1842, for service in China, the following

15. We shall, on our part, take measures for despatching from this country, in December, direct for Singapore, the steamer "Memnon," of 1,100 tons and 400 horse power, and every exertion will be made to despatch, at an earlier period than February (in which month she is now expected to be ready), the steamer Acbar," of 1,100 tons, and 350 horse power. This steamer will like- Pluto," of 100 horse wise be sent direct to Singapore. The iron steamer power, is now ready at Portsmouth, and will be at your disposal for service in China in 1842. We expect, therefore, that you will have for the ensuing cam- paign eight (and, including the "Acbar," nine) wooden steamers, and four iron

steamers.

16. As the service upon which the force will be in all probability employed will bring the ships into rivers where attempts may be made to burn them, you will provide every steamer, ship-of-war and transport, with such booms as she can conveniently carry. Each boom should have at each end a stout chain and hooks, that the several booms may be firmly joined together. Each vessel should have six light kedge or stream anchors, for the purpose of holding the booms; and for each anchor should be supplied 10 or 12 fathoms of light, but suffi- ciently stout, chain. The booms will probably be most conveniently carried by each vessel under her chains. No vessel, however small, should have a less length of booms than 60 feet. Thus each vessel will be able in a river to protect herself, and the booms of several vessels joined together will form a per- fect protection for them all. You will take care that each vessel has several spare boats. If we should find, upon inquiry, that you have not, or could not easily or in good time, provide a sufficient number of such anchors as we have described, we shall send a number of them to Singapore; but you will depend, not upon us, but upon yourselves, for providing them. Spare booms and anchors, with longer chains attached to them, should be sent for the service of Her Majesty's ships, which will require them in deeper water.

17. We have ascertained that the amount of Her Majesty's naval forces to be employed in the China Seas in 1842, will be at least equal to that employed this year, and that the vessels despatched from England to relieve those now in the China station, which should come home, will be at Canton or Singapore by the middle of April. In the event of a larger force of Her Majesty's ships being required in 1842 than is employed this year, the Admiral will be authorized to detain the ships which would otherwise come home; but we do not apprehend the occurrence of this emergency. We enclose a list we have received from the Admiralty of the ships on the China station this year, and of such as will sail from hence this year in time for the commencement of the campaign of 1842.

CORRESPONDENCE RELATIVE TO

Her Majesty's Ministers consider the course originally pursued as not only irregular in point of form, but open to grave objection; as interfering with the proper responsibility of the various departments of the State, and rendering it impossible to present to Parliament a simultaneous view of the real expenditure incurred on account of the war with China.

They are of opinion, that no military operation, undertaken on behalf of the Crown, and the charge for which is to be ultimately defrayed from the revenues of this country, ought to be undertaken, except under the authority of the Secretary of State, or under an authority expressly delegated for that pur- pose, by the signification of the Royal Commands, through the Secretary of State. They are of opinion, also, that all directions which it may be necessary to give to the Board of Admiralty, the Commander-in-Chief, the Board of Ordnance, or any other public department in the service of the Crown, ought to be signified exclusively by the Secretary of State.

They are aware that, from his greater proximity to the scene of warfare, the Governor-general can superintend the course of operations, and carry on commu- nications with the officers in the military and naval command of the expedition, with far greater facility than could the Secretary of State; and for the same and other reasons, it is desirable that a large portion of the military force, of the provisions and munitions of war, should be supplied, in the first instance, from the resources of India; while it is at the same time due to the interests of India, that no demand be made upon those resources, military or financial, for the service of the Crown elsewhere; a compliance with which might place in jeopardy the security, or trench upon the revenue of that great empire, the welfare of which is confided, as his first charge, to the care of the Governor-general.

On these principles, then, I have it in command from Her Majesty to desire that your Lordship will, through the usual channels, inform the Governor-general that Her Majesty has been pleased to authorize him to exercise a general superin- tendence over the operations of the military and naval authorities on the coast of China; to communicate directly with them, and to issue, without waiting for instructions from me, such orders, from time to time, as the exigencies of the service may seem to require. Her Majesty's Government feel confident that the Governor-general's zeal for the public service will lead him to make every exertion for supplying such an amount of troops, transports, stores and munitions of war, as may from time to time be required for the purposes of the expedition : it may rather be desirable to impress upon him that he should not, under any circumstances, take upon himself to detach from India a larger portion of British troops than may have been previously authorized by instructions from the Home Government, nor, except in case of emergency (in judging which he will exercise a discretionary power), furnish from the resources of India other supplies than such as may have been previously authorized by me; and that, in the event of such emergency, he should forthwith communicate to me the steps which he has deemed it necessary to take, in order that they may be sanctioned by a covering order. That there may be no undue or inconvenient pressure upon the resources of India, it will be my duty to communicate to your Lordship the requirements of Her Majesty's service, in order that the necessary instructions may be con- veyed to the Governor-general, through the accustomed channel of the Secret Committee.

The Governor-general will continue to carry on his correspondence in the usual way; but your Lordship will have the goodness to communicate to me, in every case, without delay, the information and suggestions which you may receive from India, in order that Her Majesty's pleasure thereupon may be signified, in the regular way, through my office, to the several departments. Those departments will be directed to receive their instructions upon all matters connected with the war in China, through the department of war alone.

I have also to request that your Lordship will, at your earliest convenience, transmit to me information as to all requisitions, of whatever description, which may have been made upon any of the departments at home, in consequence of representations from the Governor-general of India; or otherwise, so far as may be within the cognizance of your department, and so far as may be practicable, of the amount of charge incurred thereby, whether in India or in England, with a view to having a record of all of them in the proper office, and of having them retrospectively sanctioned by a covering order from this department.

CORRESPONDENCE RELATIVE TO

Each of the thirty transports will, therefore, receive four of the concave plates with iron eyes, three feet of connecting chain with double hooks at each end, four small anchors, and fifteen fathoms of chain cable to each anchor, each of which cables will have a shackle bolt in the centre; that is to say, at seven and a half fathoms, to admit of its being separated or united at pleasure, according to the depth of water.

It is right to bear in mind that, in using the aforesaid spars, or booms, for pro- tection against fire-vessels in rivers, it will be desirable so to place the anchors of each end of the spar, that the latter should not ride directly across the stream (in which position it would be more likely to yield to a vessel with a slanting stern, so as to allow such vessel to pass over it), but to anchor the spars in a diagonal line with the stream, so as to turn the vessel the easier, and thereby reduce the probability of the spar sinking. If the apex be upwards

the spars should be so placed above the head of the ship so as to ensure throwing any floating body clear of each side of her; if the apex be downwards cause the floating body to be turned and ultimately stopped in the centre, if not upset by the tide pressing on its broad side.

The anchors sent are of 4 cwt. each, and the chain cable of 1⁄2 inches.

to

It will be proper to send to the Governor-general by this mail a small model of the boom and chains which I have above described.

Her Majesty's Government depend upon the Governor-general for providing the spars

for booms. Each transport should at least carry two, as before directed. With reference to the twelfth paragraph of the letter of the Governor-general to the late President of the India Board above mentioned, I have to inform your Lordship that provisions for six months for 10,000 Europeans will be sent from this country to Singapore, at the same time with the artillery and stores above mentioned.

I have likewise to inform your Lordship that the Queen's 98th regiment, 720 strong, will proceed direct to Singapore, and arrive there early in April.

This regiment may be employed during the ensuing season in operations on the coast of China; but it is to be understood that so soon as its services can be dispensed with, it is to be sent to Mauritius to relieve the 87th Foot.

The Governor-general should be directed to provide a sufficient number of followers for the 98th regiment, and send them to meet that regiment at Singa- pore; and he should not neglect to send at the same time for the use of that regiment any articles of convenience or comfort with which a regiment proceeding from India would have provided itself.

I have instructed the General Commanding-in-Chief to select an additional officer, of the rank of Major-general, to serve on the staff of the expedition.

That officer, and a company of Royal Artillery, and the 98th regiment, are to receive the usual Indian allowances.

I request that your Lordship will move the Secret Committee of the Court of Directors to instruct the Governor-general of India in Council in the terms of my present communication to your Lordship.

CORRESPONDENCE RELATIVE TO

The amount of military force must depend, in some degree, upon the state of affairs in India, and the necessity which may exist for employing a larger or a smaller force upon the Burmese frontier.

Of British troops, the strength of the regiments now serving in China has been increased by sending out the detachments stated in the margin; and an addi- tional regiment, the 98th, has been added to the force, together with a company of Royal Artillery. These reinforcements sailed from hence on the 20th instant, and may confidently be expected to be at Singapore by the middle of April. It is presumed that the Governor-general may be able to detach in aid of this force not less than four native regiments; and Her Majesty's Government hope that a somewhat larger force may, without inconvenience, be spared from India.

I enclose a list of Her Majesty's ships now in the China Seas, in addition to which those mentioned in the Return No. 2 are either now on their passage or will be immediately sent out to relieve those which are placed opposite to them in the corresponding column,

The Governor-general will perceive, by the accompanying copy of a despatch addressed by the Secretary to the Admiralty to Vice-Admiral Sir William Parker, that the Admiral is authorized to detain, for a limited period, any or all of the relieved ships, in case the exigencies of the service should appear to require it.

Your Lordship will, doubtless, cause the Governor-general to be informed of the period, as stated in your letter of this day, at which the Memnon and Acbar steamers may be expected; and as Lord Auckland has found it necessary to recall two of the Honourable Company's steamers to the coast of India, I have directed the Admiralty to replace them by Her Majesty's steam-vessels Vixen and Geyser, which are fitting out with all expedition.

The collective force thus assembled will, it

hoped, be sufficiently formidable to effect, in the course of 1842, the objects which Her Majesty's Government seek to obtain. For the reasons above stated, I forbear to enter into detail

any of the course which should be adopted. Her Majesty's Government rely, with entire confidence, upon the Governor-general for giving the directions which will be necessary, in the first instance, for the execution of the objects which I have above indicated, and, with equal confidence, upon the exercise of the discretion with which it is necessary that they should intrust him for modifying the views which they are at present led to take, should unforeseen circumstances render such an alteration of their original plans, in his judgment, necessary or desirable.

I have to request that your Lordship will have the goodness to cause this despatch, with its enclosures, to be communicated in the usual manner to the Governor-general of India.

enormous loss thereby occasioned to the Crown; but I have no doubt that the provisions from England can be delivered on much lower terms than any which may be procured from India; it is very desirable, however, that the bread should be packed in casks.

I have applied to the Governor-general for such supplies from India as will be necessary for the consumption of the squadron from the 1st May to the 30th August 1842, and which could not arrive from England in time to meet our

wants.

The heavy losses of bread and spirits provided by the commissariat, owing to much of the former being condemned as unfit, and leakage of the latter, from the badness of the casks, has somewhat straitened our present resources; but by issuing soft bread baked from the flour of which we have a good stock, and the hope of receiving an extra quantity of spirits by the "Cornwallis," and a transport expected from Macao, I trust we shall be able to furnish the necessary allowance of those articles.

It has been the wish of the Governor-general that the victualling stores for the combined force should be provided as one general stock; but, after carefully considering this proposition, I am decidedly of opinion that it will be prefer- able to keep the army and navy supplies, as heretofore, separate.

Much confusion in the accounts will thus be avoided, and the General and myself will be better enabled to regulate the victualling of our respective depart- ments with accuracy, and more effectually check an extravagant accumulation of all species.

Each service will, I am confident, be equally disposed to share their remains of stock to meet any exigency.

My Lord,

Control.

Downing-street, 3 January 1842. WITH reference to your Lordship's letter of the 6th ultimo, forwarding for my consideration letters from the Governor-general of India of the 16th Sep- tember and the 21st of October, respecting the supply of provisions for the use of Her Majesty's naval and military forces serving in China I have to observe that I infer, from the correspondence, that all necessary steps for supplying with pro- visions the native troops now serving in China have been, or will be, taken in India by the Governor-general, and that I have to consider the requisition for the supply of the Europeans engaged, or about to be engaged, in that service only; and that even as regards these, it is for supplies to be used after the commence- ment of July 1842 only, that the Governor-general requires provision to be made.

In reference to this important question, considerable difficulty has been expe- rienced in ascertaining what is the real state of the case, what the probable stock on hand, and what consequently the amount which it becomes necessary for Her Majesty's Government to forward from this country.

On a comparison of the different requisitions and calculations with the accounts of supplies already shipped from this country, or in course of preparation, and with the scale on which such supplies are reckoned by Her Majesty's Victualling Department, it appears that some confusion has existed, and that sup- plies intended for the same period have been in the course of preparation in India and in this country at the same time, but that, on the other hand, the scale on which the supplies required appear to have been calculated by the Governor- general differs materially from that in Her Majesty's Victualling Department; and further, that not only the quantities of the stores sent from India had been considerably diminished, or were likely to be so by extensive condemnations, but that the Governor-general had made his calculations on the assumption of there being only 7,500 Europeans to be provided for; whereas, as your Lordship is aware, Her Majesty's Government expect that number will, by the month of April, have been increased to 10,000.

Under these circumstances, it being obvious that a literal compliance with the requisitions of the Governor-general would not have answered the proposed object, I directed a statement to be prepared by the Victualling Board from all the different sources of information within their reach, including that received from the Governor-general, to show how far the provisions actually shipped or in course of preparation for shipment, when added to those which Lord Auckland appears to have purchased, will collectively form a stock, either equal, or inade- quate, or superior to the exigencies of the service for the year 1842.

In consequence of certain articles required for the service appearing by this statement to be still deficient, I have directed those articles which could most conveniently be procured in this country to be supplied, and notes to be appended to the statement, pointing out from whence is supposed deficiencies not pro- vided for might be made good, and I now forward to your Lordship that state- ment corrected to the present date.

I trust that the steps which have been taken will have ensured to Her Ma- jesty's Naval and Military Forces in China an adequate supply of all provisions necessary for the service which it expedient to forward from this country; and that no difficulty will be experienced in procuring those which it is thought may be more advantageously purchased in India. But with the view of preventing for the future the confusion which appears to have prevailed in the present instance on this head, I have to request that the Governor-general may be informed that after the provisions that are in course of preparation shall have been despatched from this country to China, no further supplies shall be sent until demands for specific articles and quantities shall have been regularly made upon this country for such provisions as may be required either by the Governor-general in India,

MILITARY OPER

or by the Naval Commander-in-Chie demands, regard should be had not o prepare the provisions to be despatched of the season when the ships should le in China.

The Governor-general will understa China in pursuance of the above arra myself, and in duplicate to him.

I have to request that your Lordship usual channel to the Governor-general.

CORRESPONDENCE RELATIVE TO

Before such a system, therefore, becomes apparent, I consider it most expedient for us to concentrate our force at Chinhae. As to eventually (permanently) retaining Ningpo, it would be a clog to us, even were it prudent to contemplate the measure. The question then is, what is the best course to pursue on evacuating the place? A settlement of the Chinese question can only be obtained by the Emperor's acceding to the terms proposed by the British Government; by the overthrow of the present Chinese dynasty; or by the expulsion of the British naval and military force; this latter case no Englishman can contemplate; in viewing the other two, it must be borne in mind that there is as much a pro- spective as an immediate object to be gained, and I think that the spirit of Lord Auckland's very luminous despatch of the 10th of May points out the great im- portance of encouraging a friendly feeling with a view to future commercial intercourse; his Lordship, it is true, applies this principle to the provinces of Canton and Fokien, but I feel confident that, were his Lordship in possession of facts connected with our present position, he would desire to apply it equally to this province, and possibly to the whole of China. The idea of pressing the Chinese Government through the medium of the people, has in my opinion proved fallacious; the whole system of Chinese policy shows that whatever may be the feelings of the Emperor towards his subjects, the Mandarins and all the Government officers are indifferent to their welfare, further than suits their own purposes; and I believe that you would inflict no greater annoyance upon the Chinese Government than by opening the eyes of the people to the fact, that the British character has been foully belied, and that we are not only a brave, but a just and honourable nation. It is therefore, I confess, my most anxious wish not to seize the private property, whether placed in shop, who has remained upon the spot. It must be remembered that Ningpo offered no opposition; that the inhabitants threw themselves on our protection, or pretended to do so; and that a number of Ningpo men have been taken up as traitors to their own country, merely because their townsmen held friendly intercourse with the British. I would, therefore, having now remained six weeks amongst them without the occurrence of a single act of oppression on our part, seek to leave a strong impression of our forbearance, our moderation, and our justice; and I am confident that by our alone seizing or destroying Government property, and taking a duty of 10 per cent. on all imports and exports, except from places in our own possession, that desirable object would be effected.

In this point of view, it appears to me, that the course above-mentioned would be the most judicious policy; and, considering also the importance laid on the expeditious proceeding to the Peiho next spring, I would suggest the expe- diency of husbanding the troops as well as the naval force this winter as much as possible, to prepare them for the ensuing campaign to the northward. By this time, in all probability, 800 recruits from England have arrived at Hong-Kong, and 1 would therefore beg leave to suggest that the "Jupiter" be sent down as soon as practicable, to bring up the 26th regiment from Hong-Kong and Amoy. I will instruct Major-general Burrell to retain the recruits of the 49th and 55th regiments, amounting to 520 men, to replace the wing of the 26th, and to send on the recruits of the 18th (160), with any recovered men belonging to the five companies of that corps at Amoy, to that station, to replace there the detachments of the 26th (150) under Major Johnstone; this will give us by the end of January at farthest, a reinforcement of about 600 well-drilled acclimatized men, which, with the force that I can collect during the winter at Chinhae, will enable us to proceed at the very first change of the monsoon to the entrance of the Gulph of Pechele, and take up some defensible position where the reinforcements from India could join us, on the Shou-tung promontory, say at Tin-tehro-foo, or one of the Minatan Islands, or possibly on one of the islands higher up the Gulph.

With reference to your letter to the President of the Board of Control, of date the 3d of January, I have the honour to state, that all particulars regarding the supply of provisions to be forwarded from England, for the use of the expedition in China, were sent from hence to the Secret Committee by the mail of January.

Sir,

Fort William, Government House, 6 March 1842.

I HAVE the honour to inform your Excellency that I arrived here on the 28th ultimo, and immediately took upon myself the office of Governor-general of India.

2. I collect from your Excellency's letter of the 24th November 1841, to the Earl of Auckland, my predecessor, that on that day your Excellency calculated that of the European infantry, then under your orders, your Excellency would have disposal for operations to the northward early in the spring:

3. The reinforcements which will arrive at Singapore about the middle of April will consist of, I believe, nearly 800 recruits, for the 18th, 26th, 49th and 55th regiments, and of the 98th regiment, which will be about 700 strong.

4. It may be assumed, therefore, that your Excellency will have at your disposal for the campaign of this year, an effective force of 4,500 European infantry.

5. Her Majesty's ships of war will be able, I conclude, to furnish a battalion of at least 500 seamen, and another battalion of 500 marines.

6. Your Excellency will be thus enabled to raise the European force of infantry at your disposal to 5,500 men.

7. Measures have already been taken for sending from India to Singapore, where they will arrive about the middle or end of April, the 2d, 6th and 41st regiments of Madras Native Infantry, and a strong regiment of volunteers from Bengal. Of these measures, your Excellency is already apprized.

2. Orders have now been given to sending likewise to Singapore, and thence to China, the 14th Madras Native Infantry, at present at Moulmein, and for sending on from the Straits to China, the 39th regiment of Madras Native Infantry.

9. These several measures will place at your Excellency's disposal six complete regiments

of native infantry, comprising an effectual force of 5,100 men.

10. I understand that your Excellency will likewise have furnished to you, as a reinforce- ment from Ceylon, two companies, or 200 men, of the Ceylon (Malay) regiment.

11. Your native infantry will thus amount to 5,300 men, and your total force of infantry

to 10,800 men.

12. The force of European artillery at your Excellency's disposal consists-First, of about 30 men of the royal artillery, who will be reinforced by 100 men of the same corps, who will arrive at Singapore in April, with the recruits for the Queen's regiments in China and the 98th regiment.

Secondly, of a detachment of the Madras European artillery, stated in the distribution return of the troops of that Presidency, dated the 1st January 1842, to amount to 176 men;

and,

Thirdly, of sappers and miners, belonging to the same Presidency, stated in the same distribution return to amount to 247 men, who will be reinforced by 200 men of the same army.

Kin-shan, which lies at the mouth of the Grand Imperial Canal; that you should fortify that island as strongly as you can, and give to it an ample garrison, and a sufficient supply of provisions, so that in the event of your Excellency being induced to leave it for a time to its own resources, it may be able to defend itself against any force the Chinese may bring against it, until your Excellency may return to relieve it.

26. From this place, so made secure, your Excellency will carry on such operations as you may deem advisable for interrupting altogether the whole trade of the Chinese Empire, which is carried on by the Imperial Canal, and thus forcing the Chinese Government to accede to such terms of peace as Her Majesty may think fit to demand.

27. For information relative to the Yang-tse-kiang and the island of Kin-shan, I refer your Excellency to the papers numbered 7 and 8, which are annexed to this letter; and for the views entertained by His Grace the Duke of Wellington, with respect to the operations to be carried on, to the extracts from a memorandum 9 and memorandum 10.

28. I have further annexed to this letter (No. -) three copies. of a sketch made by an the Colonial Office. officer attached to Lord Amherst's embassy, of the Yang-tse-kiang, from Kin-shan to

Nankin.

29. To the statements contained in the memorandum upon that island and its vicinity, I should add, that the part of the town of Kwatchoo (opposite Kin-shan) which is on the east bank of the Grand Canal, is on high ground, and commands the other part of the town from which it is divided.

30. I conclude that your Excellency must be in possession of the report of Captain Bethune upon the Yang-tse-kiang, but I think it safer to annex it likewise (No. 12.) to this letter.

31. Your Excellency will understand, that it is upon operations carried on in the neigh- bourhood of, and upon the Grand Imperial Canal, and interrupting the internal commerce of the Chinese Empire, that Her Majesty's Government rely for an early and satisfactory termination of the war. Her Majesty's Government, earnestly desirous that the war should be so terminated, have at great cost and with great sacrifices, placed an amply sufficient force for coercing the Chinese Emperor, at your Excellency's disposal; and they entertain no doubt that your Excellency, acting with your accustomed vigour and ability, will so apply that force as to effect the sole objects they have in view,-the vindication of the honour of Her Majesty's Crown, and the establishment of peaceful commerce with the Chinese nation upon a secure and permanent basis.

32. It is the conviction of Her Majesty's Government that the continued application of a sufficient force to the complete interruption of the internal trade of the Chinese Empire carried on by the Grand Imperial Canal, must necessarily compel the submission of the Chinese Emperor to Her Majesty's just demands. Your Excellency will therefore confine yourself to such measures as may, in your opinion, most certainly lead to the accomplish- ment of that purpose, and will either evacuate or occupy any points on the Chinese coast as you may think most conducive to the attainment of it, making all minor considerations yield to that of succeeding in the great enterprise with which your Excellency is intrusted.

33. Your Excellency will, however, in whatever operations you may think it expedient to carry on, always bear in mind that it is the decided opinion of Her Majesty's Government that the military and naval forces employed in the expedition should, at all times, be placed in such positions as may secure their easy and constant communication with each other. The equipment furnished to the troops under your Excellency's command is not such as to enable them to carry on with security and effect any operations at a distance from naval support; nor is it desired that such should be their character. Without incurring any such risk, your Excellency may, by operations within the reach of the fleet upon the commercial communications of the Chinese Empire, effect all the purposes which Her Majesty's Govern- ment have in view.

I send a copy of this letter to the Naval Commander-in-Chief, whom I, at the same time, address in a separate letter, of which a copy is enclosed for your Excellency's information.

As respects the supply of the European portion of the force, naval and military, informa- tion has already been received from the Honourable the Secret Committee of the despatch of a six months' supply of provision from Europe, for 10,000 men. These supplies may be expected to reach China about May next, and, together with what may then be remaining in store, may be calculated to last the force to December 1842.

The expediency of procuring another six months' supply from England having been pointed out by the military board, the home authorities were accordingly addressed on the subject by the last mail.

For the native part of the force, provisions have been ordered to be despatched so as to last till April 1843.

In order to bring our differences with the Chinese authorities to a speedy but honourable termination, we resolved to add to the force under orders to pro- ceed to China, two regiments of Madras Native Infantry. It appeared to us the most convenient and expeditious mode to effect this object, to order the 14th 22 March 1842. Madras Native Infantry at Moulmein, originally proposed for this service, and

the 39th Madras Native Infantry, now at Singapore, to join the expedition. 24th regiment Madras Native Infantry, which will be reinforced by its Rifle Company now at Moulmein, will be the only regiment left in the Straits after the departure of the 39th. The commanding officer has been directed to correspond with Mr. Bonham on the subject of the distribution of this regiment for the temporary duties of the stations in the Straits. We apprehend no serious inconvenience from this temporary diminution of the strength of the forces left for the service of the Straits Settlements. In case of any unforeseen difficulty arising from this cause, we have authorized Mr. Bonham to increase temporarily the strength of the police establishment to meet the contingency.

EXTRACT of a DESPATCH from Lieutenant-general Sir Hugh Gough, G.C.B., commanding the Expeditionary Forces, to Lord Stanley, dated 24th June 1842, at head quarters, Woosung.

On my return here yesterday I found the Belleisle, and I understood that the Apollo, with the greater part of the transport, is at Chusan. Instructions will be sent for them immediately to follow us up the Yang-tse-Kiang. With these ample means at my disposal, not only to take, but to occupy, whatever may be deemed most advisable, I hope to prove to the Chinese Government the extent of the power and resource of Great Britain, and the folly of persisting in rejection of the terms offered.
