It may therefore be interesting to stat by way of supplying the information which Senhor Horts was ignorant, that in 1862 the signature of Chinese plasipo tentiaries was obtained to a treaty be tween Portugal and China, by the help of the French Chargé d'Affaires at Peking The macond articlo of this testy, in the Portuguese version, established by inter- ence the sovereignty of Portugal over the peninsula, and this although the Chi noso had steadily refused to concede that territory in any sense absolutely. In 1863 when the thon Governor Amard proceeded to Tientsin for the purpose of obtaining the ratification (which alone would render the treaty valid), the Chi

An eye-witness of the meeting described to us the scene which ensued when the Commissioners Chung and Süeh received His Excellency and Aide-de-Camp to discuss the ratifica tion. The placablo and good tem pered Chung, whose words ever acted is oil on the troubled waters of diplomatic discussion, presented a strong contrast to the fiery und ill-tempered Sch. Clover-
