edict addressed to the High Commissioners and Gover-
nor-General, of which I inclose a translation, I feel

The Commander-in-Chief has the high gratification of
announcinglo the squadron and transports under his
orders, that the treaty of peace between Great Britain
and China has now been happily signed, the Emperor's
assent to its provisions being likewise received, the
blockade and interruption of the Chinese trade and com-
munications are to be immediately discontinued within
the rivers and on any part of the coast of China.
The officers are expected to exert themselves to pre-
vent the slightest cause of offence or disagreement, to,

friendly intercourse will be hereafter observed during
the continuance of the British forces in this country.
