I am directed by the Marquess of Lansdowne to

transmit to you, to be laid before the Secretary of

State for the Colonies, a copy of a despatch as

marked in the margin, from the Commercial Attaché

to His Majesty's Legation at Peking, enclosing the

English text of the new Treaty between China and

Portugal, as published in a local evening newspaper.

Mr. Jamieson points out that the English text

differs in some respects from the Chinese text, of

which a précis was forwarded in his despatch No.17

of November 14th.

His Majesty's Minister at Lisbon has therefore

been requested to endeavour to obtain a copy of the

correct text of the Treaty.

The Under Secretary of State,

Colonial Office.

I am,

Sir,

Your most obedient,

humble Servant,

Fa Campbell
