as the Queen's representative in China, and that I
proposed, with the Prince's permission to cede to
him the scat of honour I was then occupying. On
the following molting the Prince returned our visit,
and I purposely absented myself, in order that Mr.
Bruce, might receive him alone. They had a long
and somewhat interesting conversation, in which,
as in several interviews which he had previously
had with me, the Prince showed much less reserve
than the provincial functionaries, with whom we
have formerly dealt, ever dared to do, in discussing
delicate questions, such as the advisability of the
mission of a Chinese ambassador to England. Mr.
Bruce took occasion to state that his correspon-
dence would be henceforth with the Chinese Minis-
ter for Forcign Affairs at the capital, and that
though he was returning to Tien-tsin until his
residence at Pekin was prepared for his reception,
he would be at hand, and ready to come up at any
time if public business required his presence.

Before the Prince left I entered the room to
thank him for having paid me a visit of adieu, and
we parted on good terms.—l have, &c.,

(Translation.)
The Prince of Kung, Imperial commissioner
makes a communication.

In proof of (his desire for) friendly relations be-
tween their respective governments, the Prince feels

it his duty to enclose to his excellency the British
Minister the copies hereto appended of the de-

spatches he has addressed to the higher authorities
of Kwangtung and other provinces, as also to the

superintendent of customs at Canton, upon the steps
it will be necessary to take in accordance with the
provisions of Articles 111., V., and VI., of the con-

vention.

A necessary communication with an enclosure,
addressed to his Excellency the Earl of Elgin, &c.
Hien-Fung, 10th year, 9th moon, 10th day (Oct.
29, 1860).

(Appended are five enclosures.)
1. Despatch of instructions to the Superin-
tendent of Customs, Canton.
The superintendent is hereby informed that on the
11th day of the 9th moon (Oct. 24) the Prince
signed and sealed a convention with the English [or
with the British Government] continuing and ex-
tending (the treaty of 1858). The third article of
this lays down [here follows the text of the article
in extenso]. The French, however, it appears have
during the past year been paid 333,333 taels odd
out of the Canton customs revenue. The same rules
being in all cases applicable to the English as to the
French, the proper course, no doubt, will be to

a like sum out of the same revenues to the
former. It is at the same time expedient to apprise
the commissioner that, as by the convention'this
sum will become due on the 20th of the 10th moon

), he will be expected to provide the
whole of it out of the current revenues of the cus-
toms, deducting from it the amount of whatever
sums shall have been advanced by the British Go-
vernment towards the construction of the British
factory site at Shameen (1).
A despatch to the above effect is being written to
Lao, Governor General of the Two Kwang. It is
further the duty (of the Prince) to address these
instructions to the superintendent. In regard to
the remaining (monies due) the superintendent will
proceed, in accordance with the provisions of the
convention.

2.) Communication addressed to Lao, Governor
General of the Two Kwang.

This despatch is word for word the same as the
preceding until it reaches the Shameen site question,
in respect of which the Governor General is desired
to deduct (from the sum of 333,333 taels) whatever
proportion the British Government will have to
bear of the monies advanced by him the Governor
General towards the conclusion of the factory site
at Shameen.

;The rest of the letter is the same as No. 1.)
;3.) Communication addressed to Lao, Governor
General of the Two Kwang.

The Governor-General is hereby informed that
on the 11th of the 9th moon the Prince signed
and sealed a convention with the English, con-

tinuing and extending the treaty. The fifth
article provides (here follows the.whole article). It
becomes the duty of the Prince accordingly to call
upon the Governor General to put himself in com-
munication with the British Minister, and make
such arrangements as time and the circumstances
of the different ports (in his jurisdiction) may require
on the basis of the regulations already in force at
Canton.
(4.) Communication addressed to the Governor
General of the Two Kwang, and of Fuh-,
kien, and of Cheh-kiang, also to the Pre-
fect of Fungtien Fu, the senior civil au-
thority in Manchuria proper.)
This is identical with enclosure 3 in form and
language.
(5.) Communication addressed to Lao, Gover-
nor-General of the Two Kwang.

[The preamble of this despatch which relates to
the cession of Kowloon is the same as that of the
foregoing. Then follows a quotation of the 6th
article at length. Then]
It becomes the duty of the Prince to acquaint the
Governor General of this, that he may depute offi-
cers to make the necessary inspection or partition
of the ground, in company with the British officers
deputed for the same purpose ; and to consider with
them and despatch everything to be done in a
satisfactory manner.
The lease in perpetuity will of course be cancelled
and the Governor General will not fail to perform
everything as the treaty requires it should be done.

T. WADE, Chinese secretary.
Note I.—These words have since been cancelled
in the original despatch, which now runs as en-
closure 2 on the same subject.

The Prince of. Kung makes a communication

The Prince has had the honour to receive this
day, about the hour of 6 a.m., a decree issued by
his Majesty the Emperor.
This the Prince is publishing for the information
of all within [the capital] and without it, He is
also communicating it to the Governments of the
different provinces (or circulating it through the
different provinces.)

It is further his duty to forward a copy of it reve-
rently made to his Excellency the British Minis-
ter, for his information and guidance in all'respects
(or that ho may inform himself, and respectfully
conform in all particulars thereto).
A necessary communication addressed to his
Excellency the Earl of Elgin.
Hien-Thing, 10th year, 9th month, ,19th day
(Nov, 1, 1860).
[Enclosed in the same cover with the foregoing
dispatch was the following Imperial decree.]
On the 15th of the 9th moon (Oct. 18), the Nin-
koh (Grand Secretariat) had the honour to receive
the following Imperial decree :
" In the matter of the exchange of treaties re-
ported to us by Yih Sin (1) Prince of Kung, Yih
Sih, Prince of Kung, having on the 11th and 12th
of this moon (24th and 25th October), exchanged
with the English and French the treaties concluded
in the Bth year [of our reign, se. 1858] together
with the treaties in continuance thereof (the con-
ventions) of the present year, we command [that it
be known] that we promise and authorise the ope-
ration for evermore of each and every article in the
treaties and conventions, that there may be hence-
forward no more war bet-xeen us (lit. that the shield
and spear may evermore rest), but that both may
contribute to the consolidation of (or unite to con-
, solidate) a good understanding, peaceful relations
