I should like to be left free by the Government of Julia to ascertain which of the two courses would be the mere noosplable to the Chinese, unit. to be guided by the argument they may employ in favour of either. I have still a safeguard against miscalculation in the proviso that what- ever may now he agreed to in io la rogariad we au apartment only; the success of the export. mant being at the same time garantood by the eagegomant that, if good faith in kept, the revi sion of our Trusty now due aball be postponed for five years.
