" My Lord,—We, the undersigned merchants of the city
of London, engaged in trade with the East, beg leave to
address your Lordship to offer the expression of our cor.
dial thanks for the firmness which you have displayed is
upholding the honour of Great Britain, and in a determina-
tion to protect the lives and property of British subjects,
peaceably engaged in commercial intercourse with China.
"We lament the collision, causing the destruction of
life and property, which has occurred, and we are under
grave apprehensions that still further difficulties and die.
asters will be created by the late adverse vote in the House
of Commons.

~ We therefore look confidently to your Lordship to
devise measures calculated to protect our friends and f'el-
low-countrymen, and to extricate us honourably from the
present painful state of things in China. -
" In pursuing these great objects we trust you will not
be deterred by what has occurred from continuing to main-
tain a firm and dignified attitude until all treaty obliga-
tions are fulfilled, and our commercial relations with China
placed on a permanent footing of security and peace.
" We have the honour to be, my Lord,
"Your Lordship's most obedient servants,
