-dential letter of the 1st. instant on the subject of an amend-

-ment of procedure under Article XXIII of the Treaty of Tientsin,

I have the honour to state that in view of the practical dif-

-Ticulties which have been fully indicated by Sir John Jordan,

Sir Havilland de Sausmarez and Mr. Mansfield in effecting such

an amendment I see no advantage in putting before the Committees

of the Law Society and Chamber of Commerce the two questions

proposed by Your Honour as to its desirability.

2.

In these circumstances I propose

to take no further action in the matter beyond what may appear

advisable after discussing with Mr. Mansfield his proposal for

a reciprocal arrangement with Canton with regard to questions of

bankruptcy.
