DII HOWITT'S NEW WORK. Just ready, in 3 ♦ols., THE MAN OF THE PEOPLE. By WILLIAM lIOWITT. Hurst and Blackett, Publishers, successors to Henry Col burn, 13, Great K ariborough-street. The Collingwood, 80, sailing ship of the line, which has been sent from Portsmouth to Chatham to be cut down and converted into a screw steamer, is ordered to be removed from Chatham to Sheer ness for that purpose. The screw corvette Charybdis, 21, 400-horse power, proceeded from Folly-point, Chatham, to Sheerness, yesterday morning, to be attached to the first division of the steam reserve in ordinary at that port. The screw steamer Rodney, 91, will, according to present arrangements, be taken into dock at Chatham to-day, to be completed for the first division of the steam reserve. The Ariadne, 26, screw, Captain E. W. Vansit tart, got under weigh yesterday morning from Spithead, and after making two runs to east ward of the Warner, proceeded to the measured mile in Stoke's Bay to test her altered screw. Four runs were made with very good results, but during the last two runs the wind had veered from W.N.W. to W., and freshened considerably, and the trial was in consequence again deferred. Even under these unfavourable circumstances the mean of the four ruas gave the ship a slight increase of speed over that of the last trial, and also a great decrease in the vibration. As the trial is intended to test the comparative merits of the Ariadne's screw with its leading corners on and off, it is ne cessary that both trials should take place under as similar circumstances of wind and weather as pos sible. Should the force of the wind have decreased from yesterday, it is intended to resume the trial agaiu this morning. The. Queen, 86, screw, Captain C. F. Hillyar, was officially inspected yesterday at Spithead by Rear- Admiral the Hon. George Grey, who proceeded to Spithead on board her Majesty's paddle steamer Fire:Queen. The Queen then steamed to Portland. The Pigmy, paddle steamer, Master Commander Johnstone, arrived at Portsmouth yesterday from the westward. The Princess Royal, 91, screw, was placed yes terday in N. 2 dock at Portsmouth, to complete repairs. The Bulldog, 6, paddle, was yesterday removed from the old ship basin at Portsmouth to the steam basin, and berthed alongside the south quay, to prepare for service. The Flying Fish, 6, screw, Commander C. W. Hope, is expected to pay her crew at Portsmouth to-clay and grant them leave ashore. The screw steamship Arrogant, 47, Commodore William Edmonstone, left at Ascension, December 27, by the Vesuvius, captured on the Line an empty brigantine, which was sent to Sierra Leone, in charge of Lieut. Allen C Adams. The Severn, 51, screw-frigate, which has been some time in Chatham dock converting from a sail ing-ship to a screw-frigate, was undocked yester day, and will be taken to Sheerness to be fitted with her engines and machinery. The screw steam sloop Greyhound, 17, Comman der Sullivan, having embarked supernumeraries, left Plymouth Sound on Monday, under canvas, for Portland. The officers and crew of the Fisgard flag-ship, Commodore-Superintendent the Hon. J. R. Drum mond, were paid down at Woolwich yesterday. The screw steam schooner Ranger, hunched at Deptford, and fitted by Messrs. Rennie and Co. with a couple of 80-horsepower engines (nominal), yesterday p rocee d e d d own t h e measured mile from 'Woolwich, the engines working smoothly without any vibration at 90 revolutions per minute, working up to nearly 400 indicated horse-power. The speed was not taken in consequence of her not being coppered and the launching elects not being re moved. The launching -way s for the Barossa screw-fri gate are now being laid down at Woolwich, and in accordance with the Admiralty instructions the vessel will be launched on the 10th March. PEMBROKE DOCKYARD.—The construction of another gun-vessel is to be immediately proceeded with at Pembroke ; she is to be called the Nimble, and is to be built in the same shed and from the same lines as the Espoir, recently launched from No. 6 slip. The Nimble will be the third of these fast despatch vessels built at Pembroke, and the following will be her chief dimensions : Ft. Length between perpendicul ars l4 In. 5 0 Ditto of keel for tonnage 127 10 Breadth, extreme Ditto for tonnage Ditto moulded .. Depth of hold .................. 13 0 She will be fitted with engines of . . 80-horse power. One of the lanterns composin ; Mr. H. Ward's apparatus for marine signals, called the " ocean marine telegraph," was again tested at Woolwich on Monday evening, in the presence of Commodore- Superintendent the Hon. James R. Drummond, C. 8., Aide-de-Camp to the Queen, Commander Edward Hawker, and other officials, by desire of the Lords of the Admiralty, preparatory to its being appropriated for the service of her Majesty's ships of war. The lantern, fitted with the improved lever system of working the signals from the deck of a ship, is of quadrilateral shape, exhibiting an equal light to the four points of the horizon. This was hoisted at the masthead of her Majesty's ship Fisgard. The steam tug Bustler, having Mr. Thomas,Mr.Hall, and other naval officers on board, got under weigh and proceeded down the river to carry out observa tions and report on the effect. The lights were pronounced to be exceedingly good, and were easily distinguished from the ordinary signal lamps at present in use, among which the lantern was placed. A stiff breeze was blowing at the time, but the wind did not interfere with the thorough working of the apparatus, which was perceptible on board the Bustler until the bend of the river obstructed the sight. A further trial will be made in a few days with the complete set of three lanterns. The Com modore expressed himself extremely gratified with the invention. • immediate despatch of an European regiment, should it be in your Excellency's power to spare one for this service. Its arrival will have the best effect, whatever decision her Majesty's Government may ultimately adopt. I do not know whether Admiral Hope will be able to despatch one of the troop-ships now in China, to which the general alludes. The other is at present used as the hospital for the wounded, and certainly could not be made available for some time. I will communicate with him immediately ; but if your Excellency has at your disposal the means of afford ing assistance, I think it would be advisable not to delay it.—l have, &e., (Signed) FREDERICK W. A. BRUCE. Ordeta received at all the Libraries. Plllustra A ted. ready. No. 2. LORD J. RUSSELL TO MR. BRUCE. (Extract.) Foreign-office, October 29, 1859. From the terms of your despatch of the 10th August,* I infer that, at the time when you wrote it, you thought it net improbable that the Chinese Government might shortly address to you some communication with the view of inviting you to proceed to Pekin for the exchange of the ratifica tions of the treaty of Tien-tsin. If any such proposal has been made to you, and if it be still unanswered when y6u receive this de spatch, you will state, in reply, that you are not authorised to en t erta i n i t until the Chinese Go vernment shall have made a formal apology for the act of the troops who fired on her Britannic Ma jesty's ships of war from the Takoo forts in June last. You will add that her Majesty's Government re quire that, when you go to Pekin for the exchange of the ratifications of the treaty, you shall proceed up the Peiho river to Tien-tsin in a British vessel, and that provision be made by the Chinese autho rities for the conveyance of yourself and your suite with due honour from Tien-tsin to Pekin. Should the assurance given to you by the Chinese Government on these heads be satisfactory, you will make arrangements for proceeding to Pekin at the earliest period at which it may be safe and con venient for you to undertake the voyage. It will be proper that a naval force should accompany you to the mouth of the Peiho, and directions to this effect will be forwarded to Admiral Hope, Should you experience any unbecoming treat ment, either at Pekin or on your journey to or from the capital, you will return to the gulf and place the matter i n th e h ands of the naval Commander- I in- Chief. You fill take an early opportunity of apprising. the Ministers of the Emperor of China that, in con sequence of the attempt made to obstruct your pas• sage to Pekin in June last, when you were proceed ing thither to exchange the ratifications of the treaty of Tien-tsin, her Majesty's Government con sider that the understanding entered into between the Earl of Elgin and the Imperial Commissioners Kweiliang and Hwashana, with respect to the resi dence of the British Minister in China, is at an end, and that it rests henceforward exclusively with her Majesty, by the terms of Article 11. of the treaty of Tien-tsin, to decide whether or not she shall in struct her Minister to take up his a')ode perma nently at Pekin. If, however, no pacific overtures shall have been addressed to you by the Chinese Government before 1 the time w h en t hi s d espatch reaches you, you will, immediately on i ts rece i pt, communicate to the Prime Mi n i : t er o f t h e Emperor the demands of her Majesty' s G overnment, as stated above, and inform him that, un l ess , w i th i n a period of 30 days from the date of your communication, you receive from him a reply conveying to you the Emperor's un qualified assent to these demands, the British naval and military authorities will proceed to adopt such measures as they may deem advisable for the pur pose of compelling the Emperor of China to observe the engagements contracted for him by his Pleni potentiaries at Tien-tsin, and approied by his Im perial edict of July, 1858. On grounds of humanity her Majesty's Govern ment would be desirous, if possible, to avoid the necessity of having to undertake military operations on a great scale against the capital of the Chinese empire. They will learn, therefore, with satisfac tion that the measures which I have indicated have had the desired effect, and induced the Chinese Emperor to accede to the moderate terms which by this despatch you are instructed to offer for his ac ceptance. It is necessary, however, to be prepared for a different result, and it is the intention of her Ma jesty's Government to make such arrangements as will enable a considerable military force to be de spatched from the south with the change of the monsoon, if it should be then requisite to undertake operations on land. Capt. Moorsom died on Saturday last at his brother's house at Brighton. Capt. Moorsom has been in a very weak state of health for some time, and resigned the command of the Diadem about four months ago, so that this event was not altogether unexpected, though very sudden, arising from the rupture of one of the vessels of the heart. Capt. Moorsem was within a few days of 44 years of age. He entered the navy at 14. Although he obtained the " gold medal" of his year at the Naval College, he was not made lieutenant till seven years after he had served his full time as mate, and then his hope of further promotion appeared so small that he was frequently on the point of quitting the service. The invention of his "shell," however, brought him into notice. He served in the first Chinese war, and soon after the breaking out of that with Russia, being then a post captain, he was appointed to the Fire brand, whose commander had been killed at the mouth of the Danube. He never joined that ship, but was employed on shore with Capts. Lushington, Keppel, Peel, and Hay, in the Naval Brigade. He had a large share in the organisation of that force, and was the only officer, we believe, with one exception, who served with it through all the bom bardments until it was broken up at the fall of Sebastopol. Capt. Moorsom was a C. 8., a Chevalier of the Legion of Honour, and had the Order of the Medjidie, together with, of course, the Chinese, Crimean, and Turkish medals. He gave his inven tion of the "shell," or, more properly, "percussion fuze," to the Government, and it has been for some years adopted in the service. He wrote a treatise ou the Manoeuvring of Steam Fleets. The following appointments were made yesterday at the Admiralty :—Commander IL M.

WELZENSTEIN AND WIFE T. STOHWASSER-EXTRA. ORDINART CASE. • This extraordinary case, in which the plaintiff claimed damages for an assault committed by the defendant, by kissing the plaintiff's wife, and also made a demand for money for goods delivered to the defendant, was resumed this morning. The following evidence was adduced • Joseph Stohwasser, the defendant, said—l have carried on business as a master tailor in London fOr 26 years. I am governor of several charities in London. I received a letter from the Austrian Embassy, telling me to go to 5, Charlotte -street, and tbo s e e rale e iseas a vi se p eitshrhtsariomtens was o h g e A r to e h . ete hhcei l hirdei I. saw d‘l, Madame W e l zens t e i n . She told me s h e h ad been left by her husband in great assist said r ns o ch o ea .shcae ad t abiente asked ad who it b e l onged to, and she said, " It is mine." • 1 w a s s h h e n c h I st sd was Borf e ld' s . She said her husband had gone to in America in M a y, an d she had pawned everything without food for several days. I gave her crown, which was all I had in my pocket. I called, I believe, the next day, and gave herhalf-a-sovereign. I was surprised to see her in such comfort at the lodgings, and she said the apartments belonged to a friend of her husband's, a Mr. Steinfeld, whose wife was too delicate to live there. I did not see Steinfeld until October. Madame Welzenstein celled upon me, and asked me to recommend her to the German Society of Benevolence, of which I am chairman. The society gave her a pound. She called in a few days, and asked for relief as the sovereign had been chiefly paid in rent, and she had nothing to live upon. I then gave her half-a-crown. I told her she must not call upon me so often for relief. She said she could work and wash, and had orders for work from several ladies, and only wanted money to enable her to execute them. She said she had AOlllll articles pledged, and had spent a few shillings from time to time as interest, in order not to lose them. I said she should sell the things. She said she could not find a buyer, and she ultimately brought the tickets to me. I gave money to my foreman to re deem them, and he did so. The goods were brought to my shop in Conduit-street. It cost me bstweee. £2l and £22 to redeem the things. I put aside the articles which were no use to me, and she took them away. She wanted me to buy the articles left for ,E 5. I said I thought they were worth more, and if sold would produce more. I think the shawl valued by the plaintiff at £2O was pledged with some other articles for 325. I bought a new one since for £3. I believe it is better than the plaintiff's. I believe it is the same character of shawl. [The embroidered shirts described as being worth £2 each, and several other articles, were he e produced.] I let her have, beyond the £2l paid to the pawnbroker, about £l3 for these things. It was more than they were worth. She had it from time to time. She ex pressed herself grateful to me, She tried to kiss my hand every time she "e'aine ; and when she could not catch my hand, she would catch my knees—(laughter)— or anything else—the tail of my coat. (Laughter.) She offered my foreman a piece of :silk for 10s. 6d., which was worth more, for his trouble. He refused it, of course. When she was ill she asked me not to let her go to the hospital, and I sent my own doctor to attend her. He is Dr. Live. He made no charge to me for at tending her. I did not like her to be coming to me so on es, il:Id I asked her to send her friend to me. Steinfeld then called on me in October. I had no idea then she was Weizenstein. He said she was the wife of a brother officer who was looking up his uncle in America. (Laughter.) He said he was a man living on his own means. A history' of the plaintiff's life, furnished by bins to the defendant at his r:quest, was here put in. It stated that the plaintiff attributed his leaving Venice to his clandestine marriage and political meetings. Examination co n ti nue d—l never suggested to the plaintiff's wife; in his ab s ence, that she should enter the service of a widower. I swear I did not write either of the letters to Madame Welzenstein. Mr. Kenealy then replied on the whole case. The Lord Chief Justice, in summing up, said this was a most remarkable and singular case. The de fendant swore positively these letters were not written by him. If this was a conspiracy and fraud, for the purpose of extorting money, one would not be surprised if forgery was resorted to for the purpose of carrying it out ; but, fortu nately, they could compare the alleged forgeries with the writing which was admittedly the de fendant's. The jury looked at the documents, and without a moment's further deliberation, returned a verdict for the defendant. The Foreman—The jury desire me to express their opinion that the defendant leaves the court without the slightest imputation on his character. Mr. Prentice, on behalf of the defendant, re quested his lordship to direct that the letters, alleged to be written by the defendant to the plain• tiff's wife, should be impounded as forgeries. The learned judge directed that all the docu ments should be impounded, and certified for a spe cial jury. - --- MURDER AND SUICIDE AT COVENTRY. Not two months have elapsed since the extreme penalty of the law was executed at Warwick on the wretched man' John Kington, who, it will be re membered, was sentenced to death at the last assizes for the brutal murder of his wife. Another crime has been committed within the precincts of the same city, of a nature, if possible, even more revolting than the preceding one. The crime is that of wife murder. The murderer, who also put an end to his own existence in a most determined and fearful manner, was a butcher named Henry Fawson. Some 14 or 15 years ago he married the woman whom he has now in so horrible a way deprived of life. Shortly after their marriage, it appears, they separated, certain circumstances having come to the husband's knowledge which caused him to suspect his wife's chastity previous to their union. The husband went to America ; the wife, we believe, remained at home. Certainly she did not accom pany him. Thirteen years, or about that period, elapsed, and the husband returned to his native country—not a wealthy man, for on his return he seems to have set up a small butcher's shop in a district of the city inhabited principally by the working clas ses , ca ll e d Hillfields, in the vicinity of which is the scene of the recent murder by Kington. About five months ago his wife came to live with him again,:and since then and up to the time of her death she has been.sheltered under his roof. Faw son is said to have possessed a very violent and hasty temper, and it is believed by the neighbours that ever since their reunion they have not lived on the best terms. On Monday, from circumstances which came under the cognisance of the neighbours, it was known that he was not so good-tempered even as usual towards his wife, though he did not alarm the neighbours by any violent outburst of passion. The unfortunate couple appear to have retired to bed about their usual hour on Monday night. Nothing more was heard of them till betweed 2 and 3 o'clock this morning, when the people in the adjoining house heard some slight gr oans pro ceed from Fawson' s d we lli ng , an d a noise such as w n o g ul d d o b w e n p . rod s u o c o e n d byat after someheavy yester dsubstance morning falla igrocer named Wakeman, also a next-door neigh bourder" proceed from the house to Fawson, heard groans a o n f d t c h r e ies la o tt f er " . Munro e namedeN the S n violenta pe , f the informed m a e t a shopkeeper e o , p w o l s t t character of Fawson, advised Wakeman to take n o steps in the m atter, but to wait and see whet further transpired. Nine o clock passed, and Wake man expressed his firm conviction that Fawson and his wife were murdered. His suspicions were con firmed by the fact that neither of them had made their appearance, and the shutters of the shop were no t removed according to cu s t om at such an - hour. Ten o'clock passed, and, the house still remaining closed, it was resolved to force an entrance. This was e ff ected by m eans of a back w indow, Snape and a policeman b e i ng the first to enter the house. The bedroom prescuteda terrible specta c l e . Th e b bedstead a n d beddino. The wretch e d man I` th e cieling an d th e fl oor, a were all besmeared ; d b a \N I . son lay e s tt e red "doubled with ü b p Loo a d t . the foot of the bed, his throat cut, stabbed in his breast, and his brains scattered about him. It is evident that in the heat of his passion he cut and stabbed himself in ineffectual efforts to destroy life, and then, being unable to despatch himself so quickly as lie wished with a knife, he went dosVn stairs and procured a gun, with which he retu'rned and shot himself through the head. Both weapons lay near at hand. On the bed lay the unfortunate woman, his wife, weltering in her blood. Her throat had been cut in a most determined and effectual manner. Both were quite dead and cold. THE DEBT or INDIA.—The total amount of the stocks, loans, debts, &c., chargeable on the East Indian revenues in India in April, 1858, was £72,426,828, of which X 60,600,513 bore interest, and .£ 11,826,315 did not. In En t . lanes at the end of last year the amount was £30 , 5 87,831, including £4,979,517 of Inclia Bonds, £14,956,000 of India Dehentures, £4,999,000 of Five per Ce n t . Stock, and £4,087,080 capital of India railways remaining in the hom e Treasury. The registered debt of India (in India) is £50.799,601 bearing interest, and £66,511 not bearing in. terest.

THE AFFAIRS OF CHINA Some further correspondence with Mr. Bruce, her Majesty's Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary in China, was published yesterday. The following are the additional despatches : No. 1. MR. BRUCE TO THE EARL OF MALMESBURY-RE • CEIVED SEPT. 27. Shanghai, August 1, 1859. My Lord,—l have the honour to inclose copies of letters froth Sir Charles van Straubenzee, and of my reply to him. I have in consequence addressed the Earl Can. ning, stating the necessity of reinforcing the gar rison of Canton, and requesting him to do so at once, if pcsiible. The speedy arrival of even one regiment will go far to keep the south of China quiet, and rein forcement of troops will be more useful than an augmentation of the naval force on the station,—. have, &c., (Signed) FREDERICK W. A. BRUCE. Enclosure 1 in No. 1. MAJOR-GEN. SIR C. VAN STRUBENZEE TO MR. BRUCE. Head quarters, Hong Kong, July 22, 1859. Sir,—Having heard through the public press and from other sources the disastrous results of the expedition to the north, I have the honour to re quest your Excellsncy will be pleased to inform me whether we are now to consider ourselves at war with China, or whether matters are to con tinue as at present in Canton, so long as the Chi nese remain in a passive state. I have also to request that I may be favoured with such information as may be in your Excel lency's power to afford me with regard to opera tions recommended, in order that I may take such necessary steps in the way of preparation as may tend to facilitate the movements of any future ex pedition to the north of China. It is unnecessary for me to remind your Excel lency that, should it be intended to assemble a large force to proceed to the north, it will be incumbent upon me to make early preparations on a proportionate scale, the expense of which I should not feel myself justified in incurring on the mere fact of our late defeat, and without any know ledge of intentions as to the future.—l have, &c., (Signed) C. T. VAN STRAUBENZ LE. Inclosure 2 in No. 1. MAJOR-GEN. SIR C. VAN STRAUBENZEE TO 3IR. BRUCE. Hong Kong, July 22, 1859. Sir,—As the late events off the Pei-ho will, in all probability, produce a state of affairs in Canton similar to that or last summer, I am desirous to represent to your .i"xcellency the very small effec tive European garrison in that city, viz., 688 rank and file, including artillery and engineers, but ex clusive of police and men otherwise employed, such as:pioneers, commissariat, &c. • to this fo rce , 1 pre . sume, will sho r tly b e added the battalion of Royal Marine Light Infantry and Company of Sappers lately employed under Admiral Hope, C.ll. We have still 10 or 12 weeks of summer to go through, which will cause a serious diminution in the num ber of effectives, more particularly if much harassed, as they must be in the event of a renewal of trou bles. The Native Infantry effectives are about 1.300 rank and file. I would therefore beg to re commend to your Excellency that our two troop steamers be sent for such European reinforcements as can be spared either from Ceylon or India, so that, if necessary, we may at least be in a position to strike a blow in the south of China, as soon as the cold weather admits of action. As the whole of the Marines by the first week in November will barely form one battalion effective for service, I would strongly urge that at least two regiments be applied for without delay, and if happily not required for the south of China, they will be in readiness for any operations that may hereafter be determined upon.—l have, &c., (Signed) C. 'l'. VAN STRAUBENZEE. Inclusure 3 in No. 1. MR. BRUCE TO MAJOR-GEN. SIR C. VAN STRAUBENZEE. Shanghao, July 31, 1859. Sir —I should have written to you sooner on the failure of my attempt to reach Pekin had I not thought it advisable to await some indications of the course the Chinese Government intend to pursue. As far as I can judge from a communication that has been received by M. de Bourboulon from Ho, the Imperial Commissioner, the Chinese Govern ment has no intention of disturbing us at the ports. The letter treats the collision at the mouth of the river as unintentional on both sides, and as pro ceeding from our ignorance of the fact that prepa- rations had been made at another place to receive us, and he even goes so far as to suggest that we had better return to the north, as we shall b e re ceived with du e courtesy. Ihave no doubt that Mr. Ward, the American Minister, will bring down some proposals for accommodation. I do not think, therefore, that orders will be sent from Pekin to commence at Canton the hostile pro ceedings of last year, unless we were to assume the offensive, and in that case a large force would be required; for the blow, if struck at all, must be struck in the north, and we know that during the last year a large force has been accumulated, con sisting in part of men who show considerable skill in the management of artillery, whatever may be their value as soldiers is the field. As my object is not to fetter the action of her Majesty's Govern ment, my language to the Chinese authorities will continue to be that I consider my mission to Pekin at an end for the present, and that I have referred home for fresh instructions. But I shall avoid as much as possible doing or saying anything from which the Chinese may in fer that I consider what has passed in the north as an aot of war, or as necessarily leading to a rupture of friendly relations ; and, moreover, if they were to make a proper apology, and consent to receive me on becoming terms at Pekin, I should not de cline the overture ; though I do not anticipate, after what has taken place, that they will make any proposal which I could accept as satisfactory. I do not think, therefore, that it would be de sirable to make preparations in the south with a view to a campaign in the north, before knowing what her Majesty's Government will deter mine on that point ; but it is obvious that we ought to be prepared for any contingency , that may happen in Canton or its neighbour hood ; and as Tour Excellency seems to think that your garrison requires to be reinforced I will address his Excellency the Governor-General of India on the subject, and forward copies of your letters to Admiral Hope, with whom it rests to dis pose of the transports alluded to. One contains the wounded, and is not, I suppose, available for India. It will be advisable that your Excellency should write your views on the amount of reinforcement required to the Commander-in-Chief in India, cal culating it with a view to Canton and the position of affairs in the south.—l have, &c., (Signed) FREDERICK W. A. BRUCE. Inclosure 4 in No. 1. MR. BRUCE TO EARL CANNING.. Shanghae, July 31, 1859. My Lord,—Your Excellency will have heard ere this of the untoward issue of -he attempt made by the French Minister and myself to reach Pekin, with a view of exchanging the ratifications of the treaty, and establishing direct diplomatic relations with the Government. I will cause copies of my despatches giving an account of what took place to be sent to your Excellency by the first opportunity. In the meantime I beg to call your Excellency's attention to two letters received from Sir Chas. van Straubenzee on his position at Canton. Hitherto I do not see any symptoms of an inten tion on the part of the Chinese Government to push matters further. They seem satisfied with having kept us out of the Pei-ho river, and the-eby got rid of a visit, the conditions of which would have asserted effectually the principle of international equality, and laid the foundation of future diplo matic intercourse on a proper footing. I have resolved, in concert with my French col league, to take no further step in this mission until we receive instructions. We are not in a position to bring any effectual p ressure t o b ear i n the north, and I pe by a reserved attitude to avoid further complications until we are better prepared. But I think it advisable to bring before your Excel lency's notice the position of Canton, as events in the north might encourage fresh troubles there should the garrison be reduced by sick ness, or not be strong enough to act in the neighbourhood against any hostile bodies that might collect for the purpose of annoying us. I have requested Sir Charles van Straubenzee to write to the Commander-in-Chief in India as to the amount of reinforcements he may think necessary. In the meantime, I cannot too strongly urge the - I have only to add that it is not the intention of her Majesty's Government that you should consider yourself to be bound by your instructions to insist on a personal interview with the Emperor. It is essential that you should correspond on terms of equality with the chief officers of the empire, and that you should refuse to submit to any degrading ceremonial, either on the occasion of an audience with the Emperor, or on any other ; but you will be guided by your own discretion, and in some de gree by the practice of the representatives of other great Western Powers, in determining whether or not you will press the demand that the Emperor of China shall receive you in the onl♦ manner in which you could consent to be received, namely, with the forms which on such occasions are custo mary in the west. Her Majesty's Government are in communication with the Government of the Emperor of the French, in reference to the subject of this despatch. No. 3. LORD J. RUSSELL TO MR. BRUCE. Foreign-office, Nov. 10, 1859. Sir,—Since my despatch of the 29th ultimo was written, I have received and laid before the Queen your despatch of the 3d September.f It appears by this despatch and its enclosures, that the Emperor of China now fully sanctions the resistance made by the forts at Takoo to the pas sage of her Majesty's ships up the rivet Peiho. He states that Takoo was fortified by his com mand, and that the envoys of the different nations were told by Kweiliang and Hwasana at Shanghae that Takeo was so fortified, and that they must go round by Peh-tang. Now, although the denial of a passage to the ca pital by the usual and most convenien t route would have been evidence of an unfriendly disposition, yet it was a matter upon which you might have remon strated and negotiated, without having recourse to force to clear the passage. You say, however, with regard to th ese a ll ege d warnings :—"These assertions are directly contrary to the truth, though I think it not improbable the commissioners may have represented the matter in this light to the Emperor. Neither in the letters that passed between the commissioners and the en voys, nor during the interviews Mr. Ward had with them, was a word said of defences at Takeo, nor was any allusion made to Peh-tang." Thus it appears that neither you nor M. Bourbou lon received any warning —nay, when the Admiral arrived at the mouth of the Peiho, so far from hav ing an intimation, from authority, that the passage of the envoys up the Peiho was to be resisted, he was assured that the fortifications were made by the militia of the country a 3 a defence against pirates, and that a passage should be opened to allow of vessels proceeding by the river. The soldiers at the forts had no doubt ascertained the correct range of the palisades and stakes where the French and British vessels were certain to be stopped, and thus they had all the benefit of a pre pared ambuscade. Whether the Emperor was cognisant of this act, or whether it was directed by his officers, it is an outrage for which the Chinese Government must be accounted responsible. Unless, therefore, the most ample apology should . be promptly made, and the other demands s p ecified in my previous d espa t c h s h a ll b e compliedwith, you are instru c t e d t o s t a t e th a t a l a rge pecuniary indemnity will b e d eman d e d by _ her Majestys , Go vernment from that of China.-1 am, &c.
