It is not worth while to detail the particulars of the proposition he made, as, after long negociations,
it
was rejected by the Tea guild, who met it by a countor proposition that if Ten when delivered was nos equal to muster, it should be rejected, Seeing that no amicable arrangement could be
arrived at, the
undersigned, in conjung. tion with the Consul for the United States, requested the Chinese authorities to notify to the Teamen, brokers, and others, that the utmost rigour of the law would be on- forced in
all cases of fraudulent practices,
and he hopes that the Proclamation which has been issued accordingly, a copy of translation of which is annexed, will have the effect intended, by showing the parties against whom it is directed that they will not cscape with impunity from the conse quences of their misdeeds.
