First sentence: IN consequence of the severe reverses we had met with in the attack on the Peiho Forts in 1859, the English Government determined to send out an expedition to China to demand redress, and to secure the provisions of the treaties made by the Earl of Elgin and Baron Gros respectively on 26th and 27th June 1858.
