The British Officers came on board and the combined British Forces take the earliest opportunity of thanking His Excellency, late Governor General Drangle, Assistant Minister of the Cabinet and now Lieutenant-General of Chapoor, for the release of the British Subjects out of the hands of the Chinese, and to assure him that they gladly recognise in this act, that good Feeling which should always exist between civilised nations, and which His Excellency will find reciprocated by the liberation of the Chinese prisoners which have since fallen into their hands.

They learn with much gratification His Excellency's appointment as Lieutenant-General of Chabor, as it is always pleasing to them to have to act with one whose conduct has impressed them with the highest respect.

The high officers have had the honour of His Excellency's letter of Jackawank, 22nd 5th month, by Captain Cond Res. his officer, which was their last communication, wherein they expressed their inability to cease until the Chinese Government agreed to negotiate. The terms offered by the British Government, through the hands of Sir Henry Pottinger, Plenipo., were discussed.
