A letter from lien Ssn, published in the
Hong Kong papers, says:
"On the 18th Mr.. Reed received the reply
of the Emperor to the Presidents letter,
which had been delivered to Tan, the Cover
nor General at Tuku, last month. The mis-
sive was contained in bamboo tube, orna-
mented with dragons. The Chinese inquir.
ed how the reply would be received and
easily agreed that it should be delivered in
the same manner that the Presidents was
received by them, though they probably COM
forted themselves little by placing the SOW
ereigns letter in frame work, so that 1t
should be as high as peoples heads, while
Mr.. Buchanan letter lay in the box, on the
table itself However, they are welcome to
the elevation. Klying sounded a little before
hand, to ascertain what sort of kneeling TO
it would be performed by Mr.. Reed, but did
not pursue the inquiry very far, as there was
no encouragement.
