FOREIGN OFFICE, Aug. 13.
The following despatch has been received from Sir Fred.
Bruce, her Majesty's Envoy Extraordinary and Chief
Superintendent of Trade in China :
Pek pr 30,
My Lord,—Referring to my despatchbofA Bthil Sep telB63mber,
1862, I have the honour to state that Mr. Medhurst, before
leaving Shanghae, published the letter to him which
formed inclosure in that despatch. The publication has
done good, by clearing up the misapprehension that pre-
vailed, as to the real position of foreigners at the Chinese
ports open to trade, and as evidence that her Majesty's
Government will not agree to any system which does not
respect the territorial rights of the Chinese Government.
and its exclusive jurisdiction over its own subjects. This
exclusive jurisdiction of China over Chinese, and of each
foreign nation ever its subjects, is the foundation on which
the international relations of China with the outer world is
based.
I am glad to say that Monsieur Berthemy enclosed to the
French Government the paper containing my correspon-
dence with Mr. Medhurst as expressing the views enter-
tained by him cn this delicate question. They are fully
concurred in by the Russian and the American Ministers.
The Btitish and American communities have appointed
a committee to prepare a scheme fur the municipal govern-
ment of the large part of the settlement inhabited by them,
in conformity with these principles, and I hope that, with
the aid of their experience, a system may be found which
will meet the requirements of the place, and to which the
Chinese Government will give its assent.
The growth of Shanghae is wonderful ; its population is
estimated at 1,500,000, and it bids fair to become soon the
most important city of the East. The Chinese flock to it
on account of the security it enjoys, and the silk manufac-
ture which was destroyed by the Taeping occupation of
Soochow and Hung-chow, is taking root at Shanghae.
It is a subject of great satisfaction to me that our resolu-
tion to save Shanghae from the destruction that menaced it
at the hands of the Taeping hordes, has not only been pro - ductive of great benefit to trade, but has afforded a safe
asylum and an escape from ruin to so large a body of the
industrious and respectable native population.—l have, &c.,
