OFFICIAL DESPATCHES. Mr. Loch, Private Secretary to the Earl of Elgin and Kincardine, arrived at the Foreign-office on Thursday enioing, at 7 o'clock, with despatches from his lordship, enclosing a convention putting an end to hostilities with China, signed on the 24th of eet9isml4aet by his lordship with the plenipotem tiary of the Emperor of China. These despatches are published in the Gazette Ex truordiotary of last night. The Earl of Elgin endemics communications from Prince Kung relative to the signing of the conven tion, and his lordship comments with much seve rity upon the unsatisfactory nature of these docu ments. He also gives the reasons which led him to decide upon the destruction of the Summer Palace. The following correspondence passed between her Majesty's Commissioner and the Commander in-Chief of the Forces : Before Pekin, Oct. 16, 1660. Kir,—Ae it is important that I should not, at the present oonjunctuic, make any demands on the Chinese government in the enforcement of which I shall not he supported by your excellency, I beg to know whether I have rightly in. terpeeted your excelleecy's views as the following points : Ist. That it is your determination to return to Tieu-tain before the winter sets in. Yadly. That in order to effect this object, it u reseereary that you should commence your movement towards that Place not later than the brat week in November. 3nlly. That you cm:odder that good faith regains you to aketsiu from any attack un Pekin or on the public buildings cootainal Miocene, unless the Chimes give fresh owe of provocation. 4thly.

His Excellency tit Hops Grant, 'C.C.S., ka. Tleadquarten, Pekin, Oct. 15, 1860. Lord,—ln reply to your excellency's letter of this date I have the honour to state so follows : lei. That, in consultation with General do Montauban, I have determined that it will not be advisable to keep the army here during the winter. Zany. That, is order to make the necessary arrangements for wintering at Tien-twin, the allied forces must march towards that place about the let November. 3nily. That, after the ents under which the Anting Otte has been curt eodssed , viz., that the city should not be injured, it would be not only contrary to good faith to attack the city or public buildings, excepting it should become a military necessity, from the Chinese giving fresh muse of provocation, but would also tend to destroy the reputation which we now possess, both in Europe and in the East, for adhering strictly to oar wont; sod, in the prevent state of our relations with China, 1 consol er it still moms important that we should give rise to no possible mis construction on this point. etilly. That I am prepared to ensure the destruction of the 'alar sof Haitieti and Yu'.-Ming-Yuen, should your lordship consider this step to be advissible.—l have, &c., J. Bore GUAM'. The fir! of Elgin, tic., kc. The convention and treaty are given in the Gcralte, but our readers have already been made acquainted with all their chief provisions. Respect ing the unfortunate prisoner+, we have the fol lowing letter : British Embaasy, Pekin, Oct. 26, 1860. My Lonl,—When I adilremeeto your lordship my dee *patch of the 13th instant of the total camber of 26 British subjects seised by the Chinese authorities on the 18th ult., while nailer the protection of a Gag of truce, 11 only, namely, Mr. Parkes Mr. Loch, and eight Sikh troupers had been retuniete. Hance that date two Sikh troopers have been restored to us alive, though suffering severely from the effects of ildtrestment ; and twelve corpses have Neu given op, among which have Leen recognised the re mains of Lieutenant Audersoo, Mr. de Norman, and Mr. Bowlby. Of the regrets inspired by the sad fate of Lieutenant Anderson and Mr. de Norman I have already written. Mr. Bowlby was the correspondent of the Times. lie anode the passage from England in the same 4.11111,r LB myself, and 1 became acquainted with him during the voyage. I deplore his loss not uuly because he WWI a highly seem' plished and weldinformed gentleman, hut oleo because from the conteientions awl liberal spirit in which lie adilreased felt to the investigation of the singularly complicated pro blems presented by the naval, social, pohticul, and °owner- Mid condition of Chine, I bad econieivel the hope that he would be the RW411214 diffusing sound informotion on many points on which it is moat important fur tho national lute. rests that the British public Gould be correctly informed. The other corpses sent in are those of eight Sikh troopers, snit of one English dragoon. )f the British subjects captured, therefore, Captain Bra. les.on, of the Boyd Artillery, is alone unaccounted for. ! The silence of the Chinese authorities, who always plead ig norance of his fate when questioned on the subject, and rumours which reach us from various quarter., lead us to fear that le must have met II violent death. It is reported that, together with a Freinh gentleman (a priest acting as int.-, meter to Ideuend Minitnuliai), he was beheaded after the union of the 21st ultimo, by direction of • Chinese general who was wounded on that occasion, and who in his exasperation it said to have ordered that these two tel who chancel to be MIAs power, should be executed. i I on, Mellorl to credit this report, although I have no positive evidence of its amuniey.

Prince of I, Yoh-yin, and a march mem the c.ipital was altogether elintrary to his fellow-comminioner, and liang-ki, pawed us in justice and reason, and that was what we were now doing. I held that the justice or injustice d invasion depeuded upon circurmtances ; if one power were wronged by soother. Old could not obtain redress by fair means, force was the only resource left. Ws knew from history that Chant had been invaded about 21:10 years ago by the Manchoo Tutors, who, when once they had taken possession of the comitry,' never quitted it, but founded the present dynasty, and Vat I presumed that he, u a hfanchoo, was vete prep - wed to defend that course. He then argued that if we ceptured Pekin, we should have to coateud against the viceroys of all the provisoes, who would, of course, march upon us. Isaid I thought not, as many of these viceroys were already unable to hold their owns against rebels and banditti. Instead, however, of wasting time in arguing upon the de gree of mischief that would ensue upon the capture of Pe kin, I advised Yang-kitosvoid that emtingeney altogether, by effecting a timely settlement of affairs, instead of coati nuing to indulge in delays which, under present circum. Nunce, must prove particularly deugerous. Hang-ki went over a good deal of old ground, and tie. fended hesitation on their part on the grimed that we put • difficulties in their way which they could not get over. Among these he euunwrated bringing ep a large escort to Pekin ; the demand fur indemnities ; the presentation of the Queen's letter, &o. As Hang-ki instated on keeping me in the dark as to the movements both of the koubassadure and the allied boom, I could Dot give a more practical form to my suggestion*. hail gathered from a conversation with one of Haug.ki's wean* previous to the arrival of his master, that our army had advanced to sod continued to halt at Pa-le-. cheaou ; and whet, I assumed this es the feet, Haug-ki's equivocations convinced nit of its truth. I advised htm, therefore, not to lore what appeared to me their last chance of negotiation, as one more march would bring our army under the walla oLkakin, idang.ki having again put forward the old plea that their fears for the asfety of their deputies prevented the despatch of these officers to oar camp, Mr. Loch voltutteered 40 escort them out and tp return grids them *eau. Haag-id said he would submit • this propond,to the Prose of Kling. October I.—llang.ki called at 11 a.m. and was accompa nied by Leu, formerly 'Limiter at Shanghai, :out a high literary mandarin. Lau had been sent by the Prince of I to Ho-se-woo with desisitehes for the ambassadors at the same timo that Mr. Wade and myself bad visited the prince' at Tung-chow. lea half serious tone 1 compared the dif ferent treatment in the two cases. Os the pith September I had carefully escorted lon past our lines, and on the 18th I had been seized and brutally treated by the Chi nese in their. Hang-ki cause forward in defence. The• seizure of myself and party was almost a neceseity, Ike said,. arising out of the exigency of the moment ; hostiliti e s had. been resumed, I was m their hands at the tints, and it is. contrary to all reason, he added, to put a sword into the hand of your enemy at the very time when you are going to. give him combat. 'True, I had atone time to complain of ill- , dentment, but that had been corrected, andl was now well. taken alreof. They all blamed Sang-kodin-ain and the Princr of for fighting at Chang-kea-wen instead of concluding, peace ; but although they admitted that nay detention was 10) act of treachery, they would not see in toy present de-, tenant a' continuation of the injustice. The Prince of Kung does' not approve, Rang.ki laid, of Mr. Loch going: ant with the deptities ; but we wish you to write a note to Lord Klgn proposing that your army should retire for tea, of twenty le, and that deputies from both sides should then, Meet upon some neutral ground.

I ouriacoted, how ever, to note the proposal they made as to a meeting on, neutral ground, add accordingly wrote your lordship the emitted letter. 'Mr. Loch and myself also preps red private, notes to be wed in the event iif Prinoe Kiang allowing these to be forwarded with the former. The 2nd of October passed without a visit, but on the 3rd Hang-ki and Lau called in the afternoon. (The Prince of Kung, they said ltid baptise! all the letters we load written, on the lat. Again , they seemed disposed to limit their conversation to general subjeets, and to deplore the exist ence of present difference*, without making any reel effort to settle them. They stated that Lord Elva had started a different proposition to theirs—namely, that deputies should meet " before the armies," instead of at "a neutral spot." I pointed out that this'was a distinction without a differ ence. They then allotted me a paper ptuport-, log to be an extract from one of your despatches, on the subject of the presentation of the Queen's letter, and wanted me to declare to them whether this meant that your lordship had no inten tion of insisting upon an audience with the Emperor. They also produced another extract, and desired me to in form them whether that meant that your lordship de nasieded need* aOOO than the izinet,iittilri e* of Tientsin. declined to give an opinfoll win e mean ing of any isolated passages in your lordship's communica tions, valets they showed me the original letters • these they always declined to produce. They then delive red the following Dote, which had been sent by Mr. Wade, in reply to the paper I had written on the day we were removed from prawn, and which, I now learned, bad been forwarded by them to the English camp : My dear Parkes,—We were glad to hear from you at last: I have written to rou a note in Chinese, and take my chance with this in English. Ever since the Prince Kong has begun to write, Lord Elgin has been writing to say, that if they send an officer to get the treaty reedy fors ignature, end send cut the prisoners at the same time, place will be made. He adds no conditions to those he insisted on before, and if the Chinese had had any sense they would, have made peace a week ago. As it is, they have delayed so long that we have been obliged to move on the forte ; and if they do not make peace now, we shall be obliged to attack Pekin. Our shell will easily destroy the city, and if any harm betel you all, it will be burned from one end to the other. Every one here wishes you well ; if the other fellows want anything, try to get the mandarins to inform us." The Chinese version of the above note, which had ht en forwarded open, bad • of coulee, informed them of its con tents. It gave us the information we had so long been wishing for, and enabled me to point out to Hang-ki and Lau that it was useless for them to ask me any longer foe' suggestions, as it was quite clear they had only one course to pursue. Again 1 urged on them the great risk to which they exposed their government and city by indulging in further delay ; but they did not appear much conesmed, and said that they had been), through the French. that there was to be no more fighting. I then wrote the follow ing acknowledgment of Mr. Wade's note. in English and Chinese, and begged them to deliver it : "Myderst \f, e,—We have received the clothes and your note of the 2nd, acknowledging mine of the 29th Septem ber. I see that subsequent notes (one public and two pri vate) of Ist October have not been delivered to you. I find that such arguments PS 1 have been able to use to the Chinese autborities are iu complete accord with your own, ' and my only hope is that Prince Kung is a man of sufficient intelligence and weight in the councils of his government as to induce the latter to follow, without further hesitation, the course marked out by Lord Elgin." In one respect, Mr. Wade's Dote gave us considerable concern, as it seemed to infer that several other per eons were in the hands of the Chinese besides the Sikh anal the two Frenchmen who were sent to Pekin with us ; but, tie sough we often tried to learn from Hangki and the ether manda rins the fate of the other gentlemen and men from whom we were separated on the day of our seizure, they aline. in sisted that they knew nothing slant any other prisoner., end had only accidentally hefted three or four foreigners were de tained a tiang-ko-lin-sin's camp. Having imagined, from mated remarks let fall from time to time by Chinese about us, that Mr. Lech and myself, with the Sakh and the two Frenchmen, were the only prisoners in Pekin, we had hitherto ho ped; that the larger portion of our original party, numbering no less than twenty-three persons, had escaped capture. October 4.—Lan called to my that nu Our notes had been sent to the English camp with another despatch from the Ponce of Kung to your l ordship , upon the answer to which, mace or war depended. He would not, however, tell us the tener of the prince's despatch. October 5.--liengki and Lau called in the afternoon. As usual, their conversation wan at first desultory, anal they pretended to want to discuss with me certain provisions of the Treaty of I Sbei and the convention of Tiemtsin. Tu our inquiries as to whether they had any letters for us, they at first produced only one newspaper and a packet of medi cine; but, on toy insisting that they must hare received something more, they delivered us Mr. NVade's note of October 4, informing us, in very decided language, thst your lordship had determined not to open negotiations with the Chinese authorities until the pri soners seized under the flag of truce had been given up ; further, that as the Chinese had not complied with thi s alemnod, although often repented, hostilities would at once be resumed. As reference to this letter may he convenient iu this place, I beg to MOWS a copy. 1 reed It over to Munk' twice, and the UltraPiDeDS which he and leiii had, till then, been trying to conceal, became now mere appa rent. They again endeavoured to teed me Into a long -dis euasion as to the rielitfulocos of our proceeding.. but I had ouly the oils reply to give them—" You lance to choose between the destruction of your capital or the uneendi tiooal auareuder of your prisoners." They could not agree, they said, te that mode of proceeding. and things must, therefore, take their cmiese. Twice they went away, and twice they returned to ask if I could not point out some other mode of meeting the atifikultv. ID reply I simply rated from Mr. I% adds letter. -" But if you are relents!, they wed, " before the convention is signed and piece concluded, you will want to retaliate upon us in some way for what y ou have under.. gone." Mr. Loch and niyeelf very distinctly mewed them. tint we had no wish or intention 14 the kind, and that they had it yet in their power to atone fur the wrong committed by immediately releasing all their prisoners. Thee then urged that the Prince of Kew wankel to use me briore we were returned.
