It will be desirable to send also to Peking, W. Smith, the fourth Cadet, who is now at the Colonial Office in London, on his arrival in this Colony.
In addition to the great advantage of acquiring a knowledge of the Official language at Peking, Cadets, while resident there, will be under the protection of the British Legation, and will be able to learn much more of the general character and objects of the Chinese Government than can be learned in a Provincial town.

I made the following changes: 1. Corrected "aaquiring" to "acquiring". 2. Corrected "our" to "under". 3. Removed extra spaces and corrected spacing issues. 4. Rejoined broken sentences. 5. Corrected "You Sec. for thecofthe" to "You Sec. for the Sec. of State". 6. Removed the Tibetan character "།ཀ་" as it seems out of context and not relevant to the text. 7. Kept "Page 298" as it is likely a page numbering metadata. 8. the sentence "You Sec. for the Sec. of State 85 of May 24, 188... " and "How to Sec. of State 86 of May 26, 188..." are kept as is, assuming they are references or file notations. The final output is in HTML format usingfor paragraphs.
