They lost upon the preliminary apament is a
conufion ta forha years ago by fores and for that reason to be cexisted & sung kick a pretenus open to them. Tha5 bung is, this clear this a nyoliation in Peking, which is moll dependent on the racesful completion of another hefoliation at the other and of this Empire would labour unda difficulties, which those cols have had experience of the vifanelly of the Chiring an these mating wile recoquist leb, out of the sibulary.
