The Chinese Embassy at Windsor Castle
Their Reception by Queen Victoria-Her
Majesty's Reply TO Mr.. Burlingame's Ad.
dress-Lord Stnnley's Reception.
LONDON, Nov. q, 1868.
Yesterday afternoon Mr.. Burlingame and his asso-
ciate ministers Of the Chinese Embassy, together
with the secretaries attached to the mission were
presented to her Majesty Queen Victoria, at Wind
sor Castle, by Lord Stanley special train con-
veyed the Embassy to theItown OF Windsor, where,
on the arrival Of the cars at the terminus. the
Queens carriages were in waiting to convey the
party to the royal residence. The towDspeople
locked in great numbers to see the strangers, and
the greatest curiosity was manifested to catch
glimpse OF the Orientals as they passed from the
railroad cars to the carriages.
On arriving at Windsor Castle the Embassy was
conducted to her Majesty's audience room, where
they were received by the Queen, surrounded by
members Of the royal family and ladies in waiting,
gathered around the royal seat In picturesque
groups
Lord Stanley then introduced Mr.. Burlingame,
who briefly addressed her Majesty in the name Of
the Emperor OF China He continued by expressing
happiness
Queen, and the people over whom she presided,
would be long and lasting. He also referred in APP
propriate and feeling terms Sir Frederick Bruce
who at present represents her Majesty's govern
ment at the Court Of China, and spoke in the
very highest terms OF the valuable co-opera-
ton rendered him by the English representa-.
tive. In the course OF his address he made
graceful allusi0n to the well known friendship OF
her Majesty for the United States. Mr.. Burlingame
then presented the letter OF credence from the
Emperor OF China 1t was rather an extensive docu-
ment, beautifully encased in yellow satin.
Her Majesty, evidently pleased, received the docu-
ment, and addressing Mr.. Burlingame said she was
glad to welcome the first Chinese Embassy to Great
Britain. She was pleased to greet Mr.. Burlingame
and the mission and she expressed the belief that
its object was step in the right direction.
Mr. Burllngame then introduced his associate
ministers and the secretaries to the Queen. The
interview throughout was marked by the utmost
cordially.
A magnificent luncheon was shortly afterward
served in the Castle. While the company was seated
Lord Stanley took occasion to express himself as
perfectly in accordance with Mr.. Burlingames senti-
ments relative to China. It was true he sald that
q certain degree OF opposition, originating in igno-
rance Of the real object OF the Chinese mission,
coupled with desire to adhere to the old tradi-
tional British coercive policy, met Mr.. Burlingame
on his arrival in England but this had all passed
away. Mr.. Buringame by his dignined course and
feeling the grandeur and Importance OF the high
trust conded to his care, had conducted himself in
such manner as to completely dlsarm opposition
and create not only favorable impression for China
but for the United States; for, while acting as the
representative OF the Emperor OF China, his digni-
fed bearing and progressive ideas exhibited him
o true type Of the representative American. Lord
Stanley then concluded by expressing the belief that
the cordial principles which are fast influencing the
nations OF the world have changed foes to friends
Taken altogether the reception Of the Chinese
Embassy by Queen Victoria was most handsome,
and is calculated to impress the members OF the
mission more favoraby In their ideas OF the British
nation.
