Peking, July 2, 1862,
Sir,—ln reply to your despatch, I have to state that I
fully approve the arrangements made by you with refe-
rence to the British concession at Kiukiang.
lam very glad to receive so satisfactory an account of
your port. Make it a rule to cultivate a good understand-
ing with the authorities and people, and impress the neces-
sity of pursuing the same course on the British community.
Where there are difficulties that you are unable to over-
come, you must refer the case, after exhausting all amicable
means, to Pekin ; but avoid, as much as possible, menace.
As to eallinglin the aid of force, her Majesty's Government
has reiterated its instructions that her Majesty's consuls are
not to appeal to it, except in cases where the lives of her
majesty's subjects are threatened, or their property en-
dangered by riots, &c. Abuse of authority hv
the Chinese,
ordelayin doing what we are entitled to demand, are not
sufficient cause to warrant violent measures.
The effort is now to be made, to settle such disputes
through the intervention of the Imperial authority ;
