and the said Tariff and details having been now finally examined into, adjusted, and agreed upon, it has been determined to arrange and record them in the form of a Sup- plementary Treaty of Articles, which Articles shall be held to be as binding, and of the same efficacy, as though they had been inserted in the original Treaty of perpetual Peace and Friendship. \n\nARTICLE I. \n\nThe Tariff of Export and Import duties, which is hereunto attached under the seals and signatures of the respective Plenipotentiary and Commissioners, shall henceforward be in force at the five ports of Canton, Foochowfoo, Amoy, Ning- po, and Shanghai. \n\nARTICLE II. \n\nThe General Regulations of Trade, which are hereunto attached under the seals and signatures of the respective Plenipotentiary and Commissioners, shall henceforward be in force at the five aforenamed ports. \n\nARTICLE III. \n\nAll penalties enforced or confiscations made under the third clause of the said General Regulations of Trade, shall belong and be appropriated to the public service of the Government of China. \n\nB 2 \n\nPat", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-001 - Sir Hug Cough-s China Military Correspondences - 1841-1843.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 216757, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-001 - Sir Hug Cough-s China Military Correspondences - 1841-1843", "page_number": 241, "title": "CO129-001 - Sir Hug Cough-s China Military Correspondences - 1841-1843", "content_text": "\n\nProclamation issued by Sir Henry Pottinger. \n\nSIR HENRY POTTINGER, Bart., G.C.B., Her Britannick Majesty's Plenipotentiary, &c., &c., in China, has the gratification to announce, for the general information and guidance of all subjects of Her said Majesty, that he has concluded and sealed, with the High Commissioner appointed by His Imperial Majesty the Emperor of China to treat with him, a Commercial Treaty, stipulated for in the Definitive Treaty of Peace, signed at Nanking on the 29th day of August, 1842, and the ratifications of which Definitive Treaty of Peace have been lately exchanged under the Signs Manual and Seals of Her Majesty the Queen of Great Britain and Ireland, &c., and His Majesty the Emperor of China. \n\nHer Britannick Majesty's Plenipotentiary, &c., now publishes the Export and Import Tariff, and the Regulations of trade, which have been, after the most searching scrutiny and examination, fixed and finally agreed upon, and which Tariff and Regulations of trade are to be promulgated in Chinese, simultaneously with this Proclamation, accompanied by a Proclamation on the part of the Imperial Commissioner, &c. \n\nHer Britannick Majesty's Plenipotentiary, &c., trusts, that the provisions of the Commercial Treaty will be found in practice mutually advantageous, beneficial, and just, as regards the interests, the honour, and the future augmented prosperity of the Governments of the two mighty Contracting Empires, and their subjects: and his Excellency most solemnly and urgently calls upon all subjects of the British Crown, individually and collectively, by their allegiance to their Sovereign, by their duty to their country, by their own personal reputation, respect, and good name, and by the integrity and honesty which is due from them as men, to the imperial rights of the Emperor of China, not only to strictly conform and act up to the said pro- visions of the Commercial Treaty, but to spurn, decry, and make known to the world, any base, unprincipled, and traitorous overtures which they, or their agents or employés, may receive from, or which may be in any shape made to them, by any subject of China--whether officially connected with the Government, or not-towards entering into any collusion or scheme for the purpose of evading, or acting in contravention of, the said provisions of the Commercial Treaty. \n\nHer Britannick Majesty's Plenipotentiary, &c., will not allow himself to anticipate or suppose, that the appeal which he now makes to all Her Majesty's subjects will be unheeded, or overlooked, by even a single indivi- dual; but at the same time it is his duty, in the responsible and unprece- dented situation in which he has been placed by the course of events, to distinctly intimate, that he is determined, by every means at his disposal, to see the provisions of the Commercial Treaty fulfilled by all who choose to engage in future in commerce with China; and that in any case where he may receive well-grounded representations from Her Majesty's Consuls, or from the Chinese Authorities, that such provisions of the Commercial Treaty have been evaded (or have been attempted to be so), he will adopt the most stringent and decided measures against the offending parties; and where his present powers may not fully authorize and sanction such measures as may seem to him fitting, he will respectfully trust that the Legislature of Great Britain will hold him indemnified for adopting them, in an emergency directly compromising the national honour, dignity, and good faith in the estimation of the Government of China, and in the eyes of all other nations. \n\nGOD SAVE THE Queen. \n\nDated at Government-House, at Victoria, Hong-Kong, \n\nthis 22nd day of July, 1843. \n\nHENRY POTTINGER. \n\nProclamation issued by the Imperial Commissioner, &c. \n\nKEYING, High Commissioner, &c., &c., Kekung, Governor-General, &c., and Ching-yuet-sai, Governor, &c., issue this Proclamation for the purpose of giving clear information and commands. \n\nWhereas, when the English had last year ceased from hostilities, our august Sovereign granted them commercial intercourse at Canton and at four other ports, and was graciously pleased to sauction the Treaty that had been concluded: the ratifications of that Treaty have now therefore been exchanged, and commercial regulations have been agreed upon, and a Tariff of Duties, wherein all fees and presents are abolished, has been distinctly settled. These, as soon as the High Commissioner, with the Governor- General and Governor, shall have received the replies of the Board of Revenue, shall be promulgated, and shall become the rules to be observed in the various ports. The Tariff of Duties will then take effect with reference to the com- merce with China of all countries, as well as of England. \n\nHenceforth, then, the weapons of war shall for ever be laid aside, and joy and profit shall be the perpetual lot of all: neither slight nor few will be the advantages reaped by the merchants, alike of China and of foreign countries. From this time forward all must free themselves from prejudice and suspicions, pursuing each his proper avocation, and careful always to retain no inimical feelings from the recollection of the hostilities that have before taken place. For such feelings and recollections can have no other effect than to hinder the growth of a good understanding between the two people. \n\nWith regard to Foochow, Amoy, Ningpo, and Shanghai, the four ports which, by His Imperial Majesty's gracious permission, are now newly opened for trade, it is requisite that the replies of the Board of Revenue should be received before the commerce of those ports should be actually thrown open. But Canton has been a mart for English trade during more than two centuries past; and therefore, the new regulations having been decided upon, they ought at once to be brought into operation, that the far-travelled merchants may not be any longer detained in the outer seas, disappointed in all their anticipations. The High Commissioner, the Governor-General, and the Governor, have therefore, in concert with the Superintendent of Customs, determined, in fulfilment of their august Sovereign's gracious desire to cherish tenderly men from afar, that a commencement shall be made with the opening of the Port of Canton under the new regulations, on the 1st of the 7th month. The wishes of the merchants will thus, it is hoped, be met. \n\nThe Island of Hong-Kong having been, by the gracious pleasure of His august Majesty, granted as a place of residence to the English nation, the merchants of that nation, who will proceed from thence to the various ports will be numerous; and such vessels as they may engage to convey them to and fro will therefore be required to lie under no restrictions, but merely to accept engagements at fair and just rates. If, however, such passengers convey goods in the same boats with the view of evading the dues of Govern- ment, they shall be subject to such fines as the law shall direct. Should merchants of China desire to proceed to the Island of Hong-Kong aforesaid, to trade, they will be required only to report themselves to the next custom- house, and to pay the duties on their merchandize according to the new Tariff, obtaining a pass before they quit port to commence their traffick. Any who may dare to go and trade without having requested such a pass, on discovery shall be dealt with as offenders of the laws against clandestine traffick, and against contumacious visiting of the open seas. \n\nAs to those natives of China who, in past days, may have served the English soldiery or others with supplies, and may have been apprehended in consequence, the High Commissioner has obtained from the good favour of his august Sovereign, vast and boundless as that of Heaven itself, the remis- sion of their punishment for all past deeds; and any such who may not yet have been brought to trial are therefore no longer to be sought after, while all who may have been seized and brought before Government are granted a free pardon. All persons of this class must then attend quietly to their avo- \n\nPaper", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-001 - Sir Hug Cough-s China Military Correspondences - 1841-1843.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 216758, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-001 - Sir Hug Cough-s China Military Correspondences - 1841-1843", "page_number": 242, "title": "CO129-001 - Sir Hug Cough-s China Military Correspondences - 1841-1843", "content_text": "\n\ncations, with a diligent pursuit of every thing that is good and right: they need entertain no apprehension of being hereafter dragged forward, nor yield in consequence to any fears or suspicions. \n\nWith reference to the arrangements which the High Commissioner and his colleagues have made in regard to duties, every thing has been done with a single eye to a just impartiality: all merchants, then, whether of China or of foreign countries, are called upon to consider the many pains that the High Commissioner and his colleagues have taken, and by all means to abide in the quiet pursuit of their respective callings, and in the enjoyment of so auspicious a peace. From henceforward amity and goodwill shall ever con- tinue, and those from afar and those who are near shall perpetually rejoice together.

The possession of such a post would give a good basis for the operations of the following year, and I cannot but think that, politically, our second appearance in this manner at Chusan would be of great advantage. \n\n24. The difficulty of supplying the troops with provisions during the winter, with a popu lation from whom aid is not with any certainty to be expected, leads me to name only such a force for the occupation of an island post in the upper seas as would be adequate to protect themselves against attack. This force could receive addition, with the return of the favourable season, and arrangements might then be made for the more complete control and possession of the island, if the decision of Her Majesty's Government should be in favour of that proceeding. 25. Sufficient provisions must be taken from Macao and Hong-Kong to supply the troops on the island throughout the winter, independently of local resources, and the entire fleet ought to be similarly provisioned for the probable period of its absence in the upper seas. \n\n28. After establishing a post in an island on the northern coast, it may be most convenient that a considerable portion of the fleet, with the residue of the troops, should return to Hong-Kong, to add strength to our position there during the most active season of trade. \n\nI shall transmit a copy of this letter by the mail now under despatch, for the information of Her Majesty's Government. \n\n(No, 40.) \n\nEnclosure 2, in No. 2. \n\nHonourable Sirs, \n\nFort William, 12 May 1841. THE express which left this on the 22d ultimo, will have conveyed to your honourable Committee the official Gazette which contained the accounts of the brilliant successes that had attended the operations of Her Majesty's naval and military forces in the Canton waters, and had terminated in placing the important provincial capital itself at the mercy of Her Majesty's arms. \n\n2. The Gazette in question was the only document which we were able to transmit by the last opportunity; and we now propose to lay before your honourable Committee a succinct narrative of our proceedings since the arrival of his Excellency Sir Gordon Bremer, and a précis of the various measures we have adopted to supply the wants of the China expedition; and we trust a perusal of these will satisfactorily evince to the home authorities the anxiety and earnestness with which this government has been striving to co-operate in aid of Her Majesty's Government, and for the furtherance of the public service. \n\n3. Your honourable Committee are aware that the Honourable Company's steamer \"Queen\" arrived here with his Excellency Sir Gordon Bremer, on the 21st ultimo, and the \"Madagascar\" was announced two or three days subsequently. Both these vessels were found, on an examination of their keels and copper, to have sustained very considerable in- jury, and to require very extensive repair in order to render them really efficient for the im- portant service on which they are engaged. They have accordingly been placed in dock, and every exertion is being used by the officers of the stean department to make them thoroughly fit to return to their duties without one moment's unnecessary delay. His Excellency Sir Gordon Bremer will return in the \"Queen\" to his head quarters, and we hope that she will leave this on the 15th instant, The \"Madagascar\" may be unavoidably detained for some weeks later. \n\n4. The eminent services rendered by the Company's iron steamer \"Nemesis” (which your Committee will find most fully recorded in the Gazette before alluded to), suggested to Cons.: 20th April, us the propriety of attaching also the \"Phlegethon\" and \"Proserpine\" to the China expe- dition; and the papers marginally noted will inform your Committee that we have accord- ingly addressed instructions to Singapore and Ceylon, desiring the commanders of these vessels to proceed to Canton, and place themselves under the orders of his Excellency the Naval Commander-in-Chief. \n\nNos. 6 to 9. \n\nCons.: 20th April, Nos. 71 to 73. \n\nDitto. \n\nDitto. \n\n5. In his letter, dated the 4th of May, his Excellency Sir Gordon Bremer, informed us that the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty were desirous that small vessels of light draft of water should be purchased or hired for the service of the China expedition, and added, that the \"Sylph \"a barque of 351 tons, which had been offered to be sold for the sum of 70,000 rupees, appeared likely to prove an eligible purchase. We have requested the survey officers of our marine department to examine this vessel ou her arrival in port (hourly expected), and to state whether the price is fair and reasonable. If the report of her quali- fications is favourable, we shall advance the money asked for her, and charge the same as a debit to Her Majesty's Government. \n\n6. The Company's pitot vessel \"Lady William Bentinck,\" being at this moment unappro- priated (her duties of survey in the Bay of Bengal having ceased), has been, at the especial request of Sir Gordon Bremer, properly armed and equipped, and placed at his disposal as a tender to the naval squadron in the China seas. When fully equipped she will be valued by the proper officers, and transferred to Her Majesty's service. The value, so fixed, will stand as an item of charge on the general account of the expedition, and at the end of it she will remain in Her Majesty's service, or to be restored to the Company's at her then proper value, as may be determined by the authorities. \n\n7. Your committee will observe, that Sir Gordon Bremer has also asked us, if we could conveniently spare the small new vessel\" Hooghly,\" whose services as a despatch packet \n\nin \n\nMILITARY OPERATIONS IN CHINA. \n\nin the Canton waters he considers important, not only on account of her fitness for the work in question, but as allowing of the withdrawal of a heavier vessel for more active service elsewhere, which could not be otherwise done. We may comply with this request if we find we can do so without injuriously affecting the interests of our marine steam department, or seriously impeding of communications with the eastern coasts of the Bay of \n\nBengal. \n\n8. Her Majesty's 55th Foot, at present in garrison at Fort William, and mustering upwards of 800 strong, together with the recruits of Her Majesty's 26th and 49th regiments, amounting to 400 men, are on the point of embarking to reinforce the military strength in China. Three hundred recruits for Her Majesty's 18th, or Bengal Irish, have already been despatched from Bombay, to join the head-quarters of their regiments at Hong Kong. The Government of Madras have, at the same time, been requested to fill up to their original strength the detachments of artillery and sappers and miners furnished from that Presidency, and to forward the recruits of the 37th Madras Native Infantry to the corps in China.

We have at the same time intimated to the Marine Board that a despatch from Sidney of from 200 to 400 tons monthly may be calculated on, and have communicated to Her Majesty's Plenipo- tentiaries and the Board, our opinion that a well protected depôt for coals should be esta- blished at Hong Kong, when our settlement on that island has been matured.

The papers here cited, contain various instructions we have issued to the Board and departments concerned, calling upon them to strain every nerve to expedite the completion of the arrangements devolving upon them respectively for affording aid and despatching reinforcements to the China expedition, and pointing out the very urgent necessity on the present occasion, of more than ordinary exertion in behalf of the public service. \n\n22.

As soon as Chusan is occupied, you should establish yourself there, either on shore or on board ship, as you may find most convenient; and you should send from thence a communication to be forwarded to the Government at Pekin, announcing your arrival, and stating that you are ready to treat with any Plenipotentiary duly commissioned and furnished with full powers by the Emperor of China for that purpose. \n\nIt is for many reasons inexpedient that you should negotiate in the neighbour- hood of Canton. The distance of that point from Pekin would furnish fair excuses for delays, which would be highly inconvenient; and the Chinese nego- tiator would, in the neighbourhood of Canton, be exposed to many influences unfavourable to such a settlement as Her Majesty's Government require. \n\nBut you might negotiate either in the neighbourhood of Chusan, or at the mouth of the Pciho River; and you will use your discretion in fixing upon the one or the other of these points, according to circumstances. It appears to Her Majesty's Government, that if the state of the season, and other considerations, should leave you at liberty to choose between those two points, there would be some advantage in negotiating at the mouth of the Peiho, because of the near- ness of that point to Pekin, and because, on account of that nearness, the nego- tiation might more easily be brought to an early conclusion, one way or the other. If you should negotiate there, it is desirable that the Admiral should accompany you thither, and that he should take with him, if the season admits of it, such a force as might give a respectable character to the mission; but this is less important now than it would have been before the Chinese had felt the force of the British arms. On the other hand, if you should negotiate in the neigh- bourhood of Chusan, the Chinese Plenipotentiary would have before his eyes greater and more manifest evidences of the power of Great Britain; but then the distance between that point and Pekin might justify and even render necessary delays which it is desirable to avoid. \n\nBut whatever arrangements you may succeed in making with the Chinese Plenipotentiary, those arrangements must be embodied in a Treaty, to be signed by yourself and by the Chinese Plenipotentiary, in the name of your respective Sovereigns; and to be afterwards ratified by each Sovereign; and you should obtain a formal announcement of the ratification of the Treaty by the Emperor of China, before you can consider the Treaty as valid, and before you send it home for the ratification of Her Majesty. The Chinese ratification will of course not be actually placed in your hands till Her Majesty's ratification shall have reached you for the purpose of its being exchanged with that of the Emperor. But the payments ought to begin, and the other arrangements should take effect, as soon as the Emperor shall have ratified the Treaty. \n\n(No. 17.) \n\n-No. 7.- \n\nCopy of a DESPATCH from Viscount Palmerston to Sir Henry Pottinger, Bart. \n\nSir, \n\nForeign Office, 2 June 1841. \n\nSINCE my instructions of the 31st ultimo were written, information has reached this country, that towards the end of February hostilities had recom- menced between the British forces in China and the Chinese Authorities, and that the forts in the Canton river had been forced and taken possession of by the British forces, and that British troops had occupied the British factory at Canton. \n\nHer Majesty's Government have not yet received the official accounts of these transactions, but may probably do so before the messenger departs from hence on the 4th to convey the overland mails to Marseilles. If those despatches should arrive before that day, and should lead to any change in the instructions \n\nalready \n\nMILITARY OPERATIONS IN CHINA. \n\nalready given to you, I shall not fail to write to you again; but in the mean- while, and as at present informed, I have to state to you that the only alteration which this intelligence seems to render necessary in my former instruction, is that you should be left at liberty to enter into negotiation at Canton, if, on your arrival there, you should find in that place any Plenipotentiary sent thither by the Emperor of China, for the purpose of negotiating with the Plenipotentiary of Her Majesty. \n\nYou will, however, even in that case, exercise your discretion as to removing the seat of negotiation to some more northerly point, if you should think it expedient to do so. \n\n--No. 8.- \n\nI am, &c. (signed) \n\nPalmerston. \n\nCorr of a LETTER from Viscount Pulmerston to the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty. \n\nForeign Office, 2 June 1841. \n\nMy Lords, I TRANSMIT to you, for communication to Rear-Admiral Sir William Parker, Viscount Palmer- \n\nNo. 8. who is about to proceed to India to take the naval command on that station, stou to the Lords a copy of the instructions (Nos. 16 and 17) which I have addressed to Sir Henry Commissioners of Pottinger, who is going out as Her Majesty's Plenipotentiary to settle the differ- \n\nthe Admiralty, ences between this country and China; and I have to signify to your Lordships \n\n2 June 1841. the Queen's pleasure that instructions should be given to Sir William Parker in conformity with what is contained in that part of the instruction to Sir Henry Pottinger which relates to the naval and military force. \n\nIt is the wish of Her Majesty's Government that the general direction and superintendence of the military and naval operations which may become necessary in China should be placed in the hands of Lord Auckland, Governor-general of India; it being convenient that this should be, on account of the greater near- ness of India to China, and also because the land force employed and to be em- ployed in China consists chiefly of troops sent from the East Indian Establishment. I have therefore to signify to your Lordships Her Majesty's commands, that instructions to this effect should be given to Sir William Parker, and that he should be directed to follow, in regard to the operations to be carried on in China, such directions as he may receive on that subject from the Governor- general. \n\nI have only to add, that it is the desire of Her Majesty's Government that the operations which it may become necessary to carry on in China should be directed as much as possible against the Chinese Government and its Authorities, and as little as possible against the Chinese people. That consequently, attacks upon forts, and the occupation of military and commanding positions, and the capture or destruction of war junks, should be the kind of operations to be preferred; and that in no case should towns be burnt or destroyed; that if it should become necessary to prevent commercial or other communication between different Chinese ports, that measure should, in the first instance at least, be enforced by sending private junks back, and by preventing them from coming out; and that seizure and detention of private junks should only be resorted to if it should ultimately be found necessary. Her Majesty's Government, however, do not include in the class of private junks those which may belong to the farmers of the public revenue. \n\nIt is probable that Sir William Parker would be able to send a force up the Yang-tse-Kiang, and to occupy an island in that river, near the place where the Grand Canal intersects the river; and he might, in such case, either content himself with stopping all communication between the northern and southern provinces by means of the canal; or he might, by blowing up the locks and sluices by means of which the canal communicates with the river, render the canal for some time useless for purposes of communication. As long as he might be able to maintain his position in the river, and thus to stop the traffic on the canal, it might perhaps be unnecessary for him to destroy the locks; or he might possibly attain the same purpose by letting the water of the caual out into the river. \n\nIt is also supposed that an island near Amoy might be occupied, which would give to the British forces the command of all communication between that town and the mainland, or between that town and the sea. \n\n596. \n\nB 3 \n\nUpon", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-001 - Sir Hug Cough-s China Military Correspondences - 1841-1843.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 216770, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-001 - Sir Hug Cough-s China Military Correspondences - 1841-1843", "page_number": 254, "title": "CO129-001 - Sir Hug Cough-s China Military Correspondences - 1841-1843", "content_text": "No. 9.

(signed) \n\nPalmerston. \n\nEXTRACT of a DESPATCH from Viscount Palmerston to Sir Henry Pottinger, Bart., dated Foreign Office, 5 June 1841. \n\nSINCE the date of my instructions Nos. 16 and 17, despatches to the 28th of March have been received from Macao, and accounts from Calcutta of the 21st of April, which render necessary an alteration in the instructions above mentioned. \n\nWhen those instructions were written, Her Majesty's Government were led by the accounts which they had received from China, to imagine that a provisional arrangement had been concluded between Captain Elliot and Ke-Shen; that in virtue of that arrangement Chusan had been evacuated by the British forces; and that a considerable part of those forces, naval and military, might possibly have been sent away from the China station, \n\nInstructions indeed were sent out by the last monthly overland mail for the re- occupation of Chusan; but it was doubtful whether those instructions would have been carried into execution at the time when you will arrive in China, or whether you would find their execution still suspended in consequence of the necessity of waiting for the return of troops and ships from India. \n\nUnder those impressions you were instructed to communicate personally with Lord Auckland in your way to China, if your going round by Calcutta for the purpose of doing so would not so much delay your arrival in China as to prevent you from reaching Hong-Kong till the season was too far advanced for you to go up to Chusan or to the Peiho River for the purpose of negotiating. \n\nBut the accounts which have now been received from China show that affairs in that quarter were taking an entirely different course from that which the pre- ceding accounts had led Her Majesty's Government to expect. The arrange- ment agreed upon by Captain Elliot and Ke-Shen had been disavowed and rejected by the Emperor of China; and Ke-Shen had been disgraced for having consented to it. Hostilities had been re-commenced between the British and Chinese forces; all the forts on the Canton River had been taken by the British; Chusan and British ships of war were lying opposite the factories at Canton, had indeed been evacuated, but no part of the naval or military force had been sent away from the China station; and, on the contrary, the Governor-General was going to send thither reinforcements both of troops and of ships, to enable the British commanders to execute those further operations which they intended to carry on against Amoy and in the Yang-tse-Kiang. \n\nUnder these circumstances, Her Majesty's Government think, on the one hand, that it is of still greater importance than before, that you and Sir William Parker should have full communication with Lord Auckland before you proceed to China; while, on the other hand, it matters less whether you arrive in China three weeks earlier or three weeks later. \n\nAccording to the view of things upon which your former instructions were prepared, hostile operations against the Chinese were not to commence, unless and until your negotiations should have failed; and as hostile operations to the northward could not well be carried on after October, it was desirable that you should reach China as soon as possible, in order that there might still be time to But it now appears that hostilities strike a blow, if your negotiation should fail. began in February, and that the British commanders had the whole southerly monsoon before them for the prosecution of their operations, and therefore the commencement and progress of those operations will in no degree depend upon the time of \n\nyour arrival. \n\nNor would the time of your arrival be important for the purpose of preventing the conclusion of any arrangement by other persons, on conditions inconsistent \n\nwith \n\nMILITARY OPERATIONS IN CHINA. \n\nwith your instructions, because the despatches which were sent out by the last overland mail will have precluded the possibility of such an event. therefore to desire that you will in the first place go to Calcutta, in order to I have communicate fully with Lord Auckland upon all matters connected with your mission, unless upon your arrival in Bombay you should receive any infor- mation, either from Lord Auckland or from China, which should lead you to think that, according to the spirit of these instructions, it is unnecessary for you to do so. \n\n- No. 10.- \n\nEXTRACT of a DESPATCH from the Right honourable the Earl of Auckland to Sir John Hobhouse, dated Fort William, 11 August 1841.--(Received 8 October 1841.) \n\nNo. 10. \n\nI HAVE for your information, and for that of Her Majesty's Secretary of Earl of Auckland State for Foreign Affairs, to acknowledge the communication which has been to Sir John Hob- made to me, under date June 5th last, of the desire of Her Majesty's Govern-house, ment that I should take upon myself the general direction of the military and naval 11 August 1841. operations which may become necessary in China, and I willingly, for the time which I may have to remain in India, accept this honourable responsibility, and am prepared, to the best of my power, to act upon it. Yet I would beg Her Majesty's Government to bear in mind, that, even at this comparatively short distance from the scene of action, I can exercise but a partial influence upon passing events, that from four to six months must generally elapse before an answer to a reference made to Calcutta can be received at Hong-Kong, and that I can do little more than lay down general views, and endeavour to supply and anticipate the wants of the forces. \n\nIt will be in the knowledge of Her Majesty's Government, that in my letters addressed to Her Majesty's Plenipotentiaries on the coast of China of the 10th of May and the 20th of June, I have already recorded these views. Sir Henry Pottinger, Sir William Parker and Sir IIugh Gough, are in possession of them, and I do not foresee that it will be necessary for me to issue further instruc- tions until I shall have beard of the arrival of Sir Henry Pottinger and Sir William Parker at Hong-Kong, and shall have had a report from them upon the state of affairs, and upon their sentiments, and those of Sir Hugh Gough in regard to it. \n\n5. Upon the instructions given by Lord Palmerston to Sir Henry Pottinger, I would remark ** \n\n6. Upon this and upon other points connected with the precise ends to which our operations are to be directed, it is necessary that I should obtain a definite expression of the sentiments of Her Majesty's Government, after having before them the opinions which I have been led to form, subject of course to the modi- fications which may, on his nearer means of observation, be recommended by the deliberate judgment of Sir Henry Pottinger. A knowledge of the ends, the attainment of which is to be regarded as indispensable, is obviously required in order that I may acquit myself of the responsibility imposed upon me, by making some accurate estimate of the force which may be reasonably considered as sufficient for the accomplishment of the results expected from it. \n\n8. I will assume, however, that we may be able, by forcible means, to procure a satisfaction of our pecuniary claims which will be admitted as sufficient. And the question then follows, whether that satisfaction having been made, insular positions both on the lower and upper coasts being held in safety by our own troops, and trade being free from violence or interruption on the part of the local autho- rities at Canton, the war is to be actively prosecuted for the remaining objects of securing privileges of residence and trade at different points on the mainland, and a declared confirmation of all our possessions and rights by a treaty, duly signed by the Emperor of China. \n\n9. It is in obtaining such direct and formal concessions, involving an open abandonment of the long-established policy of the Empire, that the greatest diffi- culty must be expected. I do not think that we can look for these concessions merely from the effect of such attacks upon towns, accessible from the coast, as can be executed by the force now employed on the expedition. Before extorting so signal a proof of unequivocal submission, we must, I apprehend, be prepared to \n\n596. \n\ndisembark \n\nB 4", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-001 - Sir Hug Cough-s China Military Correspondences - 1841-1843.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 216774, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-001 - Sir Hug Cough-s China Military Correspondences - 1841-1843", "page_number": 258, "title": "CO129-001 - Sir Hug Cough-s China Military Correspondences - 1841-1843", "content_text": "No. 14. \n\nLord Stanley to the Lords Com- missioners of the Admiralty, \n\nCORRESPONDENCE RELATIVE TO \n\nEach of the thirty transports will, therefore, receive four of the concave plates with iron eyes, three feet of connecting chain with double hooks at each end, four small anchors, and fifteen fathoms of chain cable to each anchor, each of which cables will have a shackle bolt in the centre; that is to say, at seven and a half fathoms, to admit of its being separated or united at pleasure, according to the depth of water. \n\n4 November 1841. \n\nIt is right to bear in mind that, in using the aforesaid spars, or booms, for pro- tection against fire-vessels in rivers, it will be desirable so to place the anchors of each end of the spar, that the latter should not ride directly across the stream (in which position it would be more likely to yield to a vessel with a slanting stern, so as to allow such vessel to pass over it), but to anchor the spars in a diagonal line with the stream, so as to turn the vessel the easier, and thereby reduce the probability of the spar sinking. If the apex be upwards \n\nthe spars should be so placed above the head of the ship so as to ensure throwing any floating body clear of each side of her; if the apex be downwards cause the floating body to be turned and ultimately stopped in the centre, if not upset by the tide pressing on its broad side. \n\nت \n\nto \n\nThe anchors sent are of 4 cwt. each, and the chain cable of 1 inches. It will be proper to send to the Governor-general by this mail a small model of the boom and chains which I have above described. \n\nHer Majesty's Government depend upon the Governor-general for providing the spars for booms. Each transport should at least carry two, as before directed. With reference to the twelfth paragraph of the letter of the Governor-general to the late President of the India Board above mentioned, I have to inform your Lordship that provisions for six months for 10,000 Europeans will be sent from this country to Singapore, at the same time with the artillery and stores above mentioned. \n\nI have likewise to inform your Lordship that the Queen's 98th regiment, 720 strong, will proceed direct to Singapore, and arrive there early in April. \n\nThis regiment may be employed during the ensuing season in operations on the coast of China; but it is to be understood that so soon as its services can be dispensed with, it is to be sent to Mauritius to relieve the 87th Foot. \n\nThe Governor-general should be directed to provide a sufficient number of followers for the 98th regiment, and send them to meet that regiment at Singa- pore; and he should not neglect to send at the same time for the use of that regiment any articles of convenience or comfort with which a regiment proceeding from India would have provided itself. \n\nI have instructed the General Commanding-in-Chief to select an additional officer, of the rank of Major-general, to serve on the staff of the expedition. \n\nThat officer, and a company of Royal Artillery, and the 98th regiment, are to receive the usual Indian allowances. \n\nI request that your Lordship will move the Secret Committee of the Court of Directors to instruct the Governor-general of India in Council in the terms of my present communication to your Lordship. \n\n- No. 14.- \n\nCopy of a LETTER from Lord Stanley to the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty. \n\nMy Lords, \n\nDowning-street, 4 November 1841. REFERRING to the Letter which I had the honour to address to your Lordships on the 3d instant, I now transmit to your Lordships an extract of a communi- cation which I have addressed to the President of the Board of Control, and which will form the basis of an instruction, to be conveyed through the usual channels to the Governor-general of India, explanatory of the special provision which is to be made for protecting the transports employed in the expedition to China against fire-rafts or vessels; and I am to convey to your Lordships the Queen's pleasure that you provide and send out to China the requisite number and quantities of anchors and chain-cables described in my communication to the President of the Board of Control. \n\nI have likewise to signify to your Lordships the Queen's pleasure, that you provide and send out to China provisions for six months for 10,000 meu. \n\nYour \n\nMILITARY OPERATIONS IN CHINA. \n\nYour Lordships will further make provision for the conveyance to China of a company of artillery, and of a quantity of ordnance and munitions of war, as specified in the accompanying Return; and you will take the necessary measures that the artillery and all the stores and provisions enumerated in this letter arrive at Singapore early in the ensuing month of April. \n\nEnclosure in No. 14, \n\nI have, &c.

Her Majesty desires no acquisition of territory, nor any advantages for her own sub- jects which should not equally be shared by other nations; and to the attainment of these objects, and these alone, the efforts of Her Majesty's forces are to be directed. Her Majesty's Government are of opinion that the most probable means of obtaining these objects would be, the occupation of a position which would enable them effectually to control the internal commerce of the Chinese empire, and thus render the moral pressure upon the Court of Pekin irresistible. Such a position, they think, would be attained by ascending the Yang-tse- Kiang with a sufficient force to take and retain possession of the island which lies at the intersection of that river with the grand canal of China; and, as at present advised, it is to that object that the principal efforts of 1842 should be directed; but beyond this general intimation of intentions, which are themselves liable to be altered by inforination which we may shortly receive, I should deem it inexpedient to fetter the discretion of the Governor-general by attempting at present to give him any precise instructions. \n\n596. \n\nC 4 \n\nThe", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-001 - Sir Hug Cough-s China Military Correspondences - 1841-1843.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 216775, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-001 - Sir Hug Cough-s China Military Correspondences - 1841-1843", "page_number": 259, "title": "CO129-001 - Sir Hug Cough-s China Military Correspondences - 1841-1843", "content_text": "Rank \n\nand File. \n\nFoot. \n\nCORRESPONDENCE RELATIVE TO \n\nThe amount of military force must depend, in some degree, upon the state of affairs in India, and the necessity which may exist for employing a larger or a smaller force upon the Burmese frontier. \n\nOf British troops, the strength of the regiments now serving in China has been increased by sending out the detachments stated in the margin; and an addi- tional regiment, the 98th, has been added to the force, together with a company of Royal Artillery. These reinforcements sailed from hence on the 20th instant, and may confidently be expected to be at Singapore by the middle of April. It is presumed that the Governor-general may be able to detach in aid of this force not less than four native regiments; and Her Majesty's Government hope that a somewhat larger force may, without inconvenience, be spared from India. \n\nI enclose a list of Her Majesty's ships now in the China Seas, in addition to which those mentioned in the Return No. 2 are either now \n\non their passage or will be immediately sent out to relieve those which are placed opposite to them in the corresponding column. \n\nThe Governor-general will perceive, by the accompanying copy of a despatch addressed by the Secretary to the Admiralty to Vice-Admiral Sir William Parker, that the Admiral is authorized to detain, for a limited period, any or all of the relieved ships, in case the exigencies of the service should appear to require it. \n\nYour Lordship will, doubtless, cause the Governor-general to be informed of the period, as stated in your letter of this day, at which the Memnon and Acbar steamers may be expected; and as Lord Auckland has found it necessary to recall two of the Honourable Company's steamers to the coast of India, I have directed the Admiralty to replace them by Her Majesty's steam-vessels Vixen and Geyser, which are fitting out with all expedition. \n\nThe collective force thus assembled will, it is hoped, be sufficiently formidable to effect, in the course of 1842, the objects which Her Majesty's Government seek to obtain. For the reasons above stated, I forbear to enter into any detail of the course which should be adopted. Her Majesty's Government rely, with entire confidence, upon the Governor-general for giving the directions\" which will be necessary, in the first instance, for the execution of the objects which I have above indicated, and, with equal confidence, upon the exercise of the discretion with which it is necessary that they should intrust him for modifying the views which they are at present led to take, should unforeseen circumstances render such an alteration of their original plans, in his judgment, necessary or desirable. \n\nI have to request that your Lordship will have the goodness to cause this despatch, with its enclosures, to be communicated in the usual manner to the Governor-general of India. \n\nMILITARY OPERATIONS IN CHINA. \n\nNo. 2. \n\nRETURN of Ships ordered out to the East Indies, with the Names of the Ships they are intended to relieve. \n\nGuns. \n\n36 Cambrian \n\nGuos \n\n44 Druid. 26 Herald. \n\n26 Conway. \n\n26 Calliope. \n\nto relieve \n\n42 Thalia \n\n>> \n\n26 North Star \n\n18 Dido \n\n16 Hazard \n\n18 Modeste. \n\n\" \n\n16 Siren \n\n18 Favorite. \n\n16 Harlequin \n\n18 Larne. \n\n18 Hyacinth. \n\nTroop-ships. \n\n16 Serpent \n\nBelleisle Apollo Sapphire Vixen Geyser \n\nSteam-vessels intended to be sent. \n\n-No. 16.- \n\nCopy of a LETTER from Sir John Barrow to Vice-Admiral Sir \n\nSir, \n\nWilliam Parker. \n\nAdmiralty, 22 November 1841. \n\nNo. 16. \n\nI AM commanded by my Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty to acquaint Sir John Barrow to you that, although the several ships their Lordships are sending out to the Sir W.

It was evidently intended that this letter should have reached England by the last mail from India, but it has only been received at the India Board on this morning, together with that of the 9th of October. \n\nI have felt it right to communicate to the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, and to the Chancellor of the Exchequer, a copy of Lord Auckland's letter to Sir Henry Pottinger of the 9th of October, which refers to the payment for opium seized by the Chinese authorities at Canton. \n\nI have not received any copy of the letter to Captain Kuper, mentioned in Lord Auckland's despatch to Sir William Parker of the 9th of October. \n\nI have, &c. \n\n(signed) \n\nFitzgerald & Vesci. \n\nEnclosure in No. 18. \n\nEnclosure in No. 17. \n\nA DEMAND for the under-mentioned quantity of provisions required to complete Her Majesty's Naval Forces in China (amounting to 4,200 men), from the 1st September 1842 to the 28th February 1843. \n\nBread Spirits \n\nFlour \n\nSuet \n\nTea Chocolate \n\nOatmeal \n\nProportion for 4,200 men for 181 days. \n\n756,000 pounds \n\n760,200 \n\n25,987 imperial gallons \n\n23,756 \n\n212,625 pounds \n\n213,804 \n\n10,514 ditto \n\n17,818 \n\nRaisins \n\n35,437 ditto \n\n35,836 \n\n11,812 ditto \n\n11,878 \n\n9,919 ditto \n\n47,512 \n\nSugar \n\n82,687 ditto \n\n71,268 \n\n6,750 gallons \n\n6,787 \n\nVinegar \n\n5,432 ditto \n\n6,787 \n\nLemon Juice \n\n3,800 pounds. \n\nPreserved Meats. \n\nWith a proportion of \n\nPreserved Soups. \n\nWine for Sick. \n\nGiven under \n\nmy \n\nhand at Chusan, 16 November 1841. \n\n(signed) \n\nRoddam Sate, \n\nApproved. \n\n(signed) \n\nW.

S. \n\nHonourable Sir, \n\n(Received 6 December 1841.) \n\nFort William, 16 September 1841. \n\nI HAVE the honour to enclose a copy of a despatch dated 15th instant, No. 759, and of its Encl. in No. 18. enclosures, from the Military Board of this Presidency; and to state that it appears to me very desirable that early measures should be taken for sending from England the provisions noted in paragraph 3 of that despatch, so as to reach Hong-Kong certainly not later than 1st July 1842. \n\n2. It will be necessary that intimation of the orders issued upon this recommendation should be communicated to this government by the earliest possible opportunity, so that, should it not be approved, immediate measuresmay be taken for completing the required stock of provisions at this place. An answer to this letter cannot be received from you until about the 18th or 20th of December next, and every day will be of importance at that period of the season, for the better preparation of the necessary stock of salt meat. You will be aware, however, that the salt meat cured in India is of exceedingly inferior quality, and it is on that account especially that I would strongly urge a compliance with this suggestion for meeting the wants of the expedition from England. \n\n3. It seems to me that all such stores should be consigned to the common use of the and and addressed to the officer of the commissariat at Hong-Kong, under whose army navy, charge the depôts now in the course of construction will probably be placed. \n\n4.

I HAVE the honour to inform your Excellency that I arrived here on the 28th ultimo, and immediately took upon myself the office of Governor-general of India. \n\n2. I collect from your Excellency's letter of the 24th November 1841, to the Earl of Auckland, my predecessor, that on that day your Excellency calculated that of the European infantry, then under your orders, your Excellency would have disposal for operations to the northward early in the spring: * \n\nOf the 18th Royal Irish \n\nditto \n\n26th Cameronians 49th 55th ditto \n\n1,025 \n\n3,145 \n\n3. The reinforcements which will arrive at Singapore about the middle of April will consist of, I believe, nearly 800 recruits, for the 18th, 26th, 49th and 55th regiments, and of the 98th regiment, which will be about 700 strong. \n\n4. It may be assumed, therefore, that your Excellency will have at your disposal for the campaign of this year, an effective force of 4,500 European infantry. \n\n5. Her Majesty's ships of war will be able, I conclude, to furnish a battalion of at least 500 seamen, and another battalion of 500 marines. \n\n6. Your Excellency will be thus enabled to raise the European force of infantry at your disposal to 5,500 men. \n\n7. Measures have already been taken for sending from India to Singapore, where they will arrive about the middle or end of April, the 2d, 6th and 41st regiments of Madras Native Infantry, and a strong regiment of volunteers from Bengal. Of these measures, your Excellency is already apprized. \n\n8. Orders have now been given to sending likewise to Singapore, and thence to China, the 14th Madras Native Infantry, at present at Moulmein, and for sending on from the Straits to China, the 39th regiment of Madras Native Infantry. \n\n9. These several measures will place at your Excellency's disposal six complete regiments \n\nof native infantry, comprising an effectual force of 5,100 men. \n\n10. I understand that your Excellency will likewise have furnished to you, as a reinforce- ment from Ceylon, two companies, or 200 men, of the Ceylon (Malay) regiment. \n\n11. Your native infantry will thus amount to 5,300 men, and your total force of infantry to 10,800 men. \n\n12. The force of European artillery at your Excellency's disposal consists-First, of about 30 men of the royal artillery, who will be reinforced by 100 men of the same corps, who will arrive at Singapore in April, with the recruits for the Queen's regiments in China and the 98th regiment. \n\nSecondly, of a detachment of the Madras European artillery, stated in the distribution return of the troops of that Presidency, dated the 1st January 1842, to amount to 176 men ; and, \n\nThirdly, of sappers and miners, belonging to the same Presidency, stated in the same distribution return to amount to 247 men, who will be reinforced by 200 men of the same army. \n\n13. From \n\nMILITARY OPERATIONS IN CHINA. \n\n13. From Madras your Excellency will likewise receive a troop of horse-artillery, 100 strong, with 30 horses (four for each gun and six spare), a troop of foot-artillery of the same strength, and 500 gun Lascars. \n\n14. The force of European artillery, under your Excellency's orders, will therefore consist of 450 effective men, and the force of native sappers and miners of about 350 men, \n\n15. As your Excellency has already a small force of gun Lascars (57 men in the Madras distribution return above referred to), I trust that you will, when reinforced from Madras to the extent I have mentioned, have 500 gun Lascars effective. \n\n16. Your Excellency has been already informed of the quantity of guns and ammunition \n\nto be sent with the royal artillery to Singapore. For the facility of reference, however, \n\nI annex (No. --) to this letter a statement of the guns and ammunition to be so sent; and Not received at the likewise of the guns and ammunition to be transmitted from hence, and from Madras. \n\n17. I further annex to this letter (No. 1.) a statement of the naval force destined by Her Majesty for the services in the China and Eastern seas during this year, and of the steamers (No. 2.) belonging to this Government, which will be at the disposal of the Naval Commander-in-Chief. \n\n18. Great care has been taken in the selection and fitting up of the transports. Ample space has been given to the men to be embarked; their comfort as well as their health has been provided for; and the endeavour has been made, not however with all the success I should have desired, to obtain a considerable proportion of Europeans among the crews. \n\n19. The memorandums annexed (Nos. 4 and -) will show your Excellency and his Excellency the Naval Commander-in-Chief, what has been hitherto done towards making a provision of coals, of medical stores and hospital necessaries, and of articles of comfort and convenience for the men. \n\n20. The memorandum (No. 5.) will show your Excellency what has been done for pro- visioning the force. These measures may be considered as securing a supply of provisions for the European and native troops till April 1843. \n\n21. On referring to your Excellency's letter, above adverted to, of the 24th November 1841, I observe that your Excellency then calculated on retaining the 37th Madras Native Infantry, and the two companies of Bengal Volunteers, then under your orders. Your Excellency has since received instructions to send back those troops to their respective presidencies. I therefore omitted them from the enumeration of the force, to be at your disposal for this year. I have likewise omitted the Rifle company of the 36th Madras Native Infantry, which it is likewise requested that your Excellency will send back to Madras, \n\n22. It is of essential importance that native troops employed so far beyond sea should be regularly and frequently relieved. \n\n23. It appears by the same letter that your Excellency, in the event of your removing to the northward early in the season, proposed to leave garrisons at the several points of Hong- Kong, Kulungsu, Chusan and Chinghae. The total force of which would amount to \n\nEuropean Infantry \n\nArtillery \n\nNative Artillery \n\nSappers and Miners Native Infantry \n\n1,100 \n\n1,078 \n\n2,343 \n\n24. Should your Excellency, and his Excellency the Naval Commander-in-Chief, deem it expedient to continue to occupy all these four points on the coast of China, still, after deducting this amount of forec stated to be required for their occupation from that above enumerated, there will remain for operations of an active character \n\nEuropean Infantry \n\nSeainen \n\nMarines \n\nM \n\nNative Infantry \n\nEuropean Artillery - \n\nNative Artillery and Sappers \n\nGun Lascars \n\n3,400 \n\n4,224 \n\n9,759 \n\n25. It is the instruction of Her Majesty's Government, that this force shall be employed on the river Yang-tse-kiang, and that your Excellency should possess yourself of the island of \n\n596. \n\nE \n\nKin-shan, \n\nColonial Office. \n\n: \n\nJ", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-001 - Sir Hug Cough-s China Military Correspondences - 1841-1843.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 216781, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-001 - Sir Hug Cough-s China Military Correspondences - 1841-1843", "page_number": 265, "title": "CO129-001 - Sir Hug Cough-s China Military Correspondences - 1841-1843", "content_text": "\nCORRESPONDENCE RELATIVE TO \n\nNo. 5. \n\nPROVISION. \n\nAs respects the supply of the European portion of the force, naval and military, informa- tion has already been received from the Honourable the Secret Committee of the despatch of a six months' supply of provision from Europe, for 10,000 men.

It appeared to us the most convenient and expeditious mode to effect this object, to order the 14th 22 March 1842. Madras Native Infantry at Moulmein, originally proposed for this service, and the 39th Madras Native Infantry, now at Singapore, to join the expedition. The 24th regiment Madras Native Infantry, which will be reinforced by its Rifle Company now at Moulmein, will be the only regiment left in the Straits after the departure of the 39th. The commanding officer has been directed to correspond with Mr. Bonham on the subject of the distribution of this regiment for the temporary duties of the stations in the Straits. We apprehend no serious inconvenience from this temporary diminution of the strength of the forces left for the service of the Straits Settlements. In case of any unforeseen difficulty arising from this cause, we have authorized Mr. Bonham to increase temporarily the strength of the police establishment to meet the contingency. \n\nThe Queen's Regiments which have proceeded to China from India are not included in this Return, it being supposed that they can be obtained more readily from the Horse Guards. \n\nMilitary Department, 2 Angust 1843. \n\n-No. 28.- \n\nDeputy-Adjutant-General's Office, Woolwich, 3 August 1843.

As regards the question of renting hongs and go-downs, the Plenipotentiary of your honorable nation already communicated with us officially upon that subject, and we gave an official reply, commanding the ci-devant Hong Merchants to rent such hongs or go-downs at just and fair prices, (both parties being agreed thereon), as is recorded. \n\nBut now the said merchant Coolidge having set forth in his petition the various difficulties of his position, and his inability to extricate himself, if I, the said High Commissioner, were to abide by the strict letter of the Regulations and do nothing for him, it would not be acting upon a proper principle of kindness; and yet the Hong Merchants being abolished, these people are not now under the same constraint that they were when government merchants; if they like, or do not like, to buy or sell-if they choose, or do not choose, to rent their hongs and go-downs, it depends entirely upon their own will and pleasure; they are exactly in the same position as English merchants who may, or may not, trade with whom they please. \n\nIf we were to use any compulsion in the matter, not only would that be contrary to every principle of reason and justice, but it would no less be attended with great inconveniences; it would set the Chinese merchants and English merchants at variance, and would throw infinitely more difficulties in the way of your commerce. Therefore, the utmost we can do under present circumstances, is to depute a special officer to call upon the late Hong Merchants, and admonish them on the subject; and farther we shall issue a Pro- clamation showing both the late Hong Merchants and the new free-trading merchants that they should on one and the same principle, proceed to do business, hoping thereby to widen the door of communication. \n\nForasmuch I, the Imperial Commissioner, now reply to the Honorable Consul, that he may act in con- formity, and at the same time impress upon the English merchants that the principle of trading depends entirely upon a mutual willingness; if a field of profit is to be reaped there is no occasion to beg people to go to reap it, they will certainly reap it of their own accord. The English merchants and others must carry on their business with our native merchants in a spirit, and according to a sense, of justice, laying their plans for a long continuance of beneficial intercourse, and thus it is to be hoped that day by day the aspect of affairs may brighten, and all kinds of goods expand in their cousumption. Although I have no means of looking after such matters in behalf of the foreign merchants, yet I, the Imperial Commissioner, do really day and night, indulge in the fervent hope of an improved commercial intercourse, beneficial to all parties. An important official reply. \n\nTo Mr. Lay, H. B. M.'s Consul at Canton. \n\nTaoukwang, 23d year, 7th intercalary moon, 22d day. (September, 15th 1843). \n\ntion of such sweeping innovations and changes in the commerce of any country, and more especially in one like China--which has not, from causes which it is needless to dilate upon, kept pace in advancement with the other nations of the earth-must be attended with unforeseen difficulties and trouble, must call for the exercise of great patience and forbearance on both sides, and amongst all parties, and must only be expected to come into full and beneficial operation when the government of China shall find, from actual experience, that the new system is better, more simple, and more profitable to the revenue than the one it has superseded. I am therefore prepared to expect delays and causes for reference at the outset of your duties at Canton, but I rely on your meeting those drawbacks with calmness and firmness, and not allowing any interested persons, whether English or Chinese subjects, to bias your proceedings, or dictate, or even advise you as to what you should do.\" \n\n(True extract.) \n\nRICHARD WOOSNAM. \n\n(True Copy) \n\n(A true translation,) (Signed) RICHARD WOOSNAM. \n\nROBERT THOM. \n\nEXTRACT. \n\n\"The General Regulations for Trade and the Tariff appear to me to combine all the advantages of conciseness and perspicuity, with provision for every possible contingency that can arise in the common course of trade; and I confidently trust that in due season, their practical application will realize the hopes I have formed of them.

It is possible, indeed, that the appear- ance of partial success, resulting from the costly efforts which have been made under this expectation, may have had some influence in retarding the concession; and it would almost seem that nothing short of the actual abandonment of their properties will prove that they have been cultivated at a loss. This Committee will now only add to the representations they have already made on this head, that they are prepared to furnish your Lordship with any evidence, or to enter upon any investigation, that may be required to confirm them. If it could have been believed that Her Majesty's Government would persist in the prohibitory policy hitherto pursued towards the West India Colonies, the capital and credit which have partially sustained them would at once have been withdrawn, and the truth rendered manifest. \n\nWhether immigration may be successfully encouraged, and from what sources immigrants may come, are questions separate from the permission to convey them. Adverting to the Despatch to which I have already referred, I beg to assure your Lordship that the West India body cordially accept the rule there laid down, that all emigrants shall be, in the fullest sense of the term, free agents.\" They cannot, however, regard Her Majesty's Indian subjects as enjoying this freedom of action while they are prohibited from entering into engagements which they con- ceive, and which certainly would be, for their advantage. Free agency should have the same meaning in the East as in the West Indies. Neither can the people of Africa, who are settled in the British possessions, or who are willing to resort thither for embarkation, be considered as free agents under the existing restrictions. With regard to Africa, I cannot but deeply regret to learn that the impression your Lordship has received from a perusal of the evidence taken last year is directly opposed to the conclusions which this Committee have drawn from it. In justification of my former reference to this subject, I beg leave to submit to your Lordship the accompanying brief abstract from the evidence. \n\nWith regard to the Order in Council, dated 4th January last, my only motive for alluding to it was, that a measure which might seem to be a relaxation of the general restriction imposed by the Order in Council of 7th September, 1838, should not be omitted in the enumeration I then made. The terms are- No contract of service shall have any force or effect, unless the same shall be signed in the presence of some officer or person in Her Majesty's service, previous designated for that purpose by one of Her Majesty's principal Secretaries of State.\" Until such designation should be announced, it was of course impossible to make any attempt to act upon the permission granted. In the communication now received in Mr. Hope's letter, no mention is made of the United States, where there appears to be greater probability that persons of\" African birth or descent\" may be found willing to enter into agreements for service in the West Indies. But these are not sources from which either immediate or extensive immigration can be expected. \n\nThis Committee having become acquainted with your Lordship's decision respect- ing the introduction of Chinese emigrants from the British settlements in the Straits of Malacca by the Circular No. 3, published by the Colonial Land and Emigration Commissioners, several of the parties who were anxious to attempt a cominence- ment of this emigration applied for licences; but, on carefully examining the regu- lations prescribed, it appears to be impracticable to enter into contracts without incurring considerable expense and risk. The licences have therefore, I under- stand, been transmitted, with instructions to use them only in case the people shall be disposed to proceed to the West Indies without any contracts, and suitable vessels, with medical officers, can be found to convey them at the rate fixed; which, \n\nCHINESE LABOURERS TO THE WEST INDIES. \n\nafter deducting the requisite advance to the labourers, it is feared will not present an adequate inducement. This source also will, therefore, probably remain un- available. \n\nThe momentous question, whether the staple products of tropical countries can be raised as effectually and as advantageously by the labour of freemen as by that of slaves,\" can never be brought to a fair trial, until the freedom of the em- ployer be as fully established as the freedom of the labourer,-and emancipation cannot be pronounced successful until that question be satisfactorily solved. In conclusion, I must acquit this Committee of their duty to those whom they repre- sent, by earnestly declaring to your Lordship their conviction-founded upon an intimate knowledge of the actual state of the West India colonies,--that without an immediate and extensive supply of labour their agriculture and trade must still further decline, and your Lordship's prediction touching their social condition be unfortunately verified. \n\nI have, &c. \n\nThe Right Hon.

He says, (at folio 5), \n\n\"If the liberated Africans were not a patient race, inured to suffering and accustomed to privation, it certainly would be impossible to keep the population that is located in the villages in their places. They would abandon their farms, (?) and flock to Free-town to look for bread.\" \n\nYet to the persons who keep the people in this state of bondage are they required to resort to give notices and receive explanations; and they are taught by the regulations of Her Majesty's Government to regard them as their protectors. \n\nEvidence of WM.

In justifying this practice he uses strong language, and assigns certainly a good reason why he could not possibly retain them at Cape Coast, no provision being made for their support or emigration; but he thus incidentally proves that if the British settlements were, as they ought to be, places of refuge, and free ingress and egress were permitted, great numbers of people from the adjacent countries would resort to Cape Coast. \n\nEvidence of the Hon.

HOPE, \n\nCory of a LETTER from the COLONIAL LAND AND EMIGRATION COMMIS- SIONERS to JAMES STEPHEN, Esq. \n\nSir, \n\nColonial Land and Emigration Office, November 24, 1843. \n\nWE have the honour to acknowledge your letter of the 20th instant, ac- companied by one from Mr. Davis, dated the 7th of November, representing that the bounty of 65 dollars will not suffice to pay for the importation of a Chinese labourer into the West Indies, including a provision of warm clothing for his pas- sage, and requesting that no objection may be offered to rendering advances of money in China repayable after arrival. \n\nAs this subject has been so repeatedly urged by Mr. Davis personally as well as in this letter, we must begin by submitting that we cannot fairly be held answer- able for the bounties actually proving to cover all expenses. In the present, as in all other speculations, there must be uncertainty and some risk; many contin- gencies have to be considered, and the hazard of the business must be weighed by the same parties who look to the advantage. All we can undertake is to state correctly the effect of existing data. If indeed we were at liberty to make a mere conjecture, we might very probably wish to guess rather a higher than a lower sum than 65 dollars; but when the question was referred to us officially, we con- sidered we were bound to proceed upon some evidence. \n\nNow the proposed rate of bounty was known to Mr. Davis himself, as well as several other gentlemen interested in the question, some weeks before it was finally announced. All seemed to agree in its propriety beforehand, and none have com- plained of it since except Mr. Davis. He has taken exception to it on the ground that some of the provisions of the Rules were not foreseen. \n\nWe must, however, explain that Mr. Davis fell into a mistake in supposing that gratuities or other local disbursements had been left out of account in the estimates, and that this was a clear additional charge by the effect of the Bounty Rules. On the contrary, by the very estimate tendered on behalf of the West India body, 65 dollars would cover all charges, including the maximum gratuity of 15 dollars. By an estimate which we made on distinct grounds, the same result was arrived at. And such being the calculations beforehand, it next followed that when the offer was thrown into the market, several parties at once sent out to obtain labourers at this rate of bounty. It is difficult perhaps to conceive a more complete body of evidence that the amount was not ill considered, and that, as far as private persons' present information goes, they consider it one on which it is prudent to act. \n\nBut Mr. Davis further argued that the Bounty Rules introduced a novelty, by requiring a surgeon. We have pointed out to him that, under the Passengers Act, he could not have taken so many as 50 emigrants without a surgeon; and it cer- tainly could not be seriously contended that persons contemplated the carriage of Chinese in petty numbers falling below that limit. Agaiu, Mr. Davis alludes to the provision of warm clothing; but it has been distinctly explained by the autho- rities that the shippers are not to be necessarily required to furnish this article; and, from what is stated of the customs of the Chinese, it seems very probable that they will have a sufficient stock of their own.

NOV, \n\nTO THE EDITOR OF THE BRISTOL JOURNAL. Sir, The vast importance of the Chinese Tariff requires that it should be reduced to English weights, measures, and monies, for the use of British merchants, and not having yet observed that this has beca done, I beg to trouble yon with such s table, toge- ther with a few observations upon the standard to be observed. \n\nThe definition and determination of the Chinese tael is ex- preased in several different ways. 1st. It has been generally in England taken to be one third of the pound sterling, or Gs. 8d., or 80 pence, making the mace its 10th, S., and the caudareen its 100th part, 8-10ths of a penny. This simple relation to our own money would be a great advantage to English merchants if it were fully established, but some, as Beawes, make the candareen Ed., reducing the tael to 62. 3d. \n\n2ndly. It is now, however, for the most part compared with the Spanish dollar. Thus the latest and perhaps the highest sathority, that of Mr. Pope, in the Yearly Journal of Trade for 1843, states 72 taels to be equivalent to 100 dollars. The Spanish dollar is commonly estimated at 4s. Gd., but her Majesty's proclu- mation (Yearly Journal of Trada, 1840, p. 391), issued for the West Indies, makes it equivalent to 48. 2d. The tael, therefore, will be 6s. 3d, if we take the former, and 58. 94d. if the latter, for our guide. \n\n3rdly. It was originally compared with the Chinese silver coin called mace, and their copper coin called cash, but the mase has been long disused; 1000 cash were once equivalent to one fuel, but the depreciation of these coins by deterioration of the metal and reduction of their weight, so amply illustrated in the highly interesting and most authentic work of Mr. Davis, has now rendered the tael equal to a much greater number of cash. By Sir Henry Pottinger's Hong Kong proclamation of the 29th of March, 1842, 1200 of them are declared equal to one dollar. In weight I have found them vary from about 85 graina troy to twice as much. Du Halde says that the French sou is equivalent to the 100th part of the tael, that is to the caudareen, and also that it is equal to 6 cash, instead of 10. \n\n4thly. The Chinese tael is a weight, and has its value expressed by European weights, either avoirdupois or troy, and this is the truest mode of determining its equivalent in fine silver, seeing that the references to English money do not agree, that dollars differ materially in value, and that the Chinese cash are still more different from each other in their weight and quality. Measra. Gordon and Crawfurd, in their admirable treatise upon Chinese commerce, give a table stating the tacl is equal to 1 1-3 ounce avoirdupois, or 579.84 grains troy. These, unfortunately, do not agree neither, for 1 1-3 oz. avoirdupois contains 437.5 and 145.8 1-3 grs., or 583.3 1-3 grs, troy, and not 579.84. Again, Beawez in his \"Lex Mercatoria,\" states that the tael was 1 oz. 2 dr., of course troy weight, which in 480 and 120, or 600 grains. The editor of \"Mortimer's Commercial Dictionary,\" in his “Universal Commerce,\" p. 64, says 100 taels should weigh 120 oz. 10 dwts. troy, or 57840 grs., or the single tael 5734, which is less than any of the above. He says, also, that 100 Spanish dollars should weigh 68 13 dwts.; that is, 42,552 grs., of which we take the 72nd part, according to Mr. Pope, the tael comes out 591 grs. Now, 16 taels make a catty, and 100 catties a pecul; all autho- rities, I believe, concur in making the pecul 133 1-3 ib. avoirdu- pois, or the catty I 1-3 B., for which reason I prefer taking the tael as 1 1-3 oz., or 183 1-3 grs. The English crown piece, or N. is so nearly an avoirdupois ounce that if we could make this the standard the tael would come out as at first 5a, and 20d., or 6s. 8d., or 80d.; but in China all silver coin is taken as bullion, and the duties of course will be paid in fullion. The real value of the tael must, therefore, be sought in the market price of stan- dard silver. This, at the present time, I find to bo da. 1110. per ounce troy, which is almost exactly 48. 6d, the ouuoo avoirdupois, or 6s. the tacl; and I have accordingly made this my standard in the following table, wherein I have reduced the Tariff to English weights and monies. I prefer this to taking the market price of the dollar, whether Mexican or Spanish, new or pillar, and using the multiplier 1,204, because I consider that the term \"syees” means \"perfectly pure.\" This word I believe to be originally Chinese, although the characters used by the Chinese to express it do not indicate its proper etymology. I have no doubt that it was originally, in the orthoepy of Morrison, \"tsuh sih,\" or \"full quality;\" but the characters commonly used for it mean \"fine silk,\" expressive of what minoralogists would call it's \"lustre sating.\"* \n\nI cannot conclude without suggesting that, at the present low price of copper, 1000 tona, costing 70,000Z. or 80,0007., might advantageously be coined into Chinese cash, weighing each a 1-3 gra. This would greatly relieve the distress of the neighbourhood of Swansea, and supply Hong Kong and the Chinese with a good currency during the present and the next generation; for, if neatly executed, it would be universally coveted and hearded up in abundance, and would be a good payment for tea, instead of opium. On one side of the coin I would have the words \"Victoria Regina,\" and on the other, as usual, “perforated token,\" with \"Iong Kong\" instead of the Emperor's name. \n\nBristol, Oct. 14. \n\nI am, Sir, your obedient servant, \n\nSAM.

E. SHELLEY, \n\nClerk of the Councils. \n\nJOHN FRANCIS DAVIS, Governor, &c. &c. \n\nHONGKONG.-Published by Authority. \n\nPrinted by Jous CarK. \n\nIn 230 H tong \n\nTo His Excellency the Governon \n\nof Hongkong and its Dependencies and the the Colony Honorable Members of the Legislative Coun- cil of Hongkong. HONORABLE SIRS-We respectfully beg to address you with reference to Ordinance No. \n\n17 of 1844 entitled \"An Ordinance for Esta- blishing a Registry of the Inhabitants of the \"Island of Hongkong and its Dependencies.\"-- passed the Legislative Council the 21st August last and published for the first time in the Friend of China of the 19th October to come into force the 1st November. \n\nTho it may not be strictly within our pro- vince to question the Policy of the publication of any ordinance, whether urgent or unimpor tant its principles and details, not taking place until within the short space of twelve days of the period of its coming into operation we cannot but express our regret that an Ordi- nance so materially affecting both public and private interests, which appears to have been passed so for back as the 21st August last, should not have been made known to us un- til within so short a period of our being called upon to acknowledge it as law-thus depriving as the opportunity of making that due \n\nrepresen tation of our opinions against such enactments as may appear to us to bear hard upon our in- terests: a privilege, which as being unrepre- sented in the Legislative Council, we think is our due considering the important interests we have at stake in the Colony. To these cir- cumstances we pray you to attribute the la- teness of our present address and not to any indifference to the subject at issue. \n\nWith these preliminary observations, we desire, therefore to represent to you Excellency and the respective Honorable Members of your Council the unfeigned, and extreme repugna- nce with which we have read the Ordinance in question and to enter our formal and de- clared Protest against the Principles that it involves. \n\nPrinciples-We do not hesitate to say as unjust as they are arbitrary and unconstitutional taxing British subjects unrepresented in the most iniquitous of forms, authorizing the most unheard of inquisitorial proceedings, without appeal or remedy, and placing the very power of residence to British subjects whose name may have hitherto been unsullied and unsus- pected in the hands of any one individual. \n\nFurther-We consider that the Law in question is opposed in its details to one of the great objects struggled for during the late was with the Chinese Empire, and against which special provision was made in the Treaty of Nankin-namely, the unchristan principle of bolding one men responsible for the acts of another. \n\npur- \n\nAgain-We would represent that the effect of this enactment if carried out will interfere with the labor and consequent prosperity of the Colony-inasumch, as many of us have entered in o contracts upon the faith of chases wale from your Government at enor- mous rentals, which must now either be broken or delayed from the demur that the contractor will make to introduce laborors for their fulfil- ment whiltst the despotism that is apparent in this act, will induce many respectable Chinese who have now sufficient difficulty in paying \n\nthe heavy house rent in this Colony entirely to abandon the place, and deter others from taking up their residence amongst us. And, Moreover-We give it as our unqualified opinion that the carrying out of the details of this Ordinance will be found impracticable, as well as inefficacious for the object sought to be in attained, that the principle that it in- volves is even more stringent than has ever yet been applied to a penal settlement and we confidently assert is repugnant to the feelings of every Honorable British subject. \n\nWith the above representation of our views of and ↑ Protest against this Ordinance we would pray your Excellency in Council either to modify its details so as to remove the intollerance of the principles that it gives law to, or to cause the operation of it to be sus- pended until reference can be made to the Home Co- vernment as we cannot suppose that such a measure can receive the sanction of Her most gracious Majesty. \n\nT.

D. 1842, corresponding with the Chinese date of the 24th day of the 7th month, of the 22nd year of Taoukwang, of which said Treaty of perpetual Peace and Friendship, the Ratifications, under the respective Seals and Signs Manual of the Queen of Great Britain, &c., and the Emperor of China, were duly exchanged at Hong-Kong on the 26th day of June, A. D. 1843, corresponding with the Chi- nese date the 29th day of the fifth month, in the 23rd year of Taoukwang; and whereas in the said Treaty it was provided (amongst other things), that the five ports of Canton, Foochowfoo, Amoy, Ningpo, and Shanghai, should be thrown open for the resort and residence of British merchants, and that a fair and regular Tariff of Export and Import duties, and other dues, should be esta- blished at such ports; and whereas various other matters of detail, connected with, and bearing relation to the said Treaty of perpetual Peace and Friendship, have been since under the mutual discussion and consideration of the Plenipoten- tiary and accredited Commissioners of the High Contracting Parties; and the said Tariff and details having been now finally examined into, adjusted, and agreed upon, it has been determined to arrange and record them in the form of a Sup- plementary Treaty of Articles, which Articles shall be held to be as binding, and of the same efficacy, as though they had been inserted in the original Treaty of perpetual Peace and Friendship. \n\nARTICLE I. \n\nThe Tariff of Export and Import duties, which is hereunto attached under the scals and signatures of the respective Plenipotentiary and Commissioners, shall henceforward be in force at the five ports of Canton, Foochowfoo, Amoy, Ning- po, and Shanghai. \n\nARTICLE II. \n\nThe General Regulations of Trade, which are hereunto attached under the seals and signatures of the respective Plenipotentiary and Commissioners, shall henceforward be in force at the five aforenamed ports, \n\nARTICLE III. \n\nAll penalties enforced or confiscations made under the third clause of the said General Regulations of Trade, shall belong and be appropriated to the public service of the Government of China. \n\nB 2 \n", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-008 - Foreign Office - 1844.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 219631, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-008 - Foreign Office - 1844", "page_number": 91, "title": "CO129-008 - Foreign Office - 1844", "content_text": "\nProclamation issued by Sir Henry Pottinger. \n\nSIR HENRY POTTINGER, Bart., G.C.B., Her Britannick Majesty's Plenipotentiary, &c., &c., in China, has the gratification to announce, for the general information and guidance of all subjects of Her said Majesty, that be has concluded and sealed, with the High Commissioner appointed by His Imperial Majesty the Emperor of China to treat with him, a Commercial Treaty, stipulated for in the Definitive Treaty of Peace, signed at Nanking on the 29th day of August, 1842, and the ratifications of which Definitive Treaty of Peace have been lately exchanged under the Sigus Manual and Seals of Her Majesty the Queen of Great Britain and Ireland, &c., and His Majesty the Emperor of China. \n\nHer Britannick Majesty's Plenipotentiary, &c., now publishes the Export and Import Tariff, and the Regulations of trade, which have been, after the most searching scrutiny and examination, fixed and finally agreed upon, and which Tariff and Regulations of trade are to be promulgated in Chinese, simultaneously with this Proclamation, accompanied by a Proclamation on the part of the Imperial Commissioner, &c. \n\nHer Britannick Majesty's Plenipotentiary, &c., trusts, that the provisions of the Commercial Treaty will be found in practice mutually advantageous, beneficial, and just, as regards the interests, the honour, and the future augmented prosperity of the Governments of the two mighty Contracting Empires, and their subjects: and his Excellency most solemnly and urgently calls upon all subjects of the British Crown, individually and collectively, by their allegiance to their Sovereign, by their duty to their country, by their own personal reputation, respect, and good name, and by the integrity and honesty which is due from them as men, to the imperial rights of the Emperor of China, not only to strictly conform and act up to the said pro- visions of the Commercial Treaty, but to spurn, decry, and make known to the world, any base, unprincipled, and traitorous overtures which they, or their agents or employés, may receive from, or which may be in any shape made to them, by any subject of China-whether officially connected with the Government, or not-towards entering into any collusion or scheme for the purpose of evading, or acting in contravention of, the said provisions of the Commercial Treaty. \n\nHer Britannick Majesty's Plenipotentiary, &c., will not allow himself to anticipate or suppose, that the appeal which he now makes to all Her Majesty's subjects will be unheeded, or overlooked, by even a single indivi- dual; but at the same time it is his duty, in the responsible and unprece- dented situation in which he has been placed by the course of events, to distinctly intimate, that he is determined, by every means at his disposal, to see the provisions of the Commercial Treaty fulfilled by all who choose to engage in future in commerce with China; and that in any case where he may receive well-grounded representations from Her Majesty's Consuls, or from the Chinese Authorities, that such provisions of the Commercial Treaty have been evaded (or have been attempted to be so), he will adopt the most stringent and decided measures against the offending parties; and where his present powers may not fully authorize and sanction such measures as may seem to him fitting, he will respectfully trust that the Legislature of Great Britain will hold him indemnified for adopting them, in an emergency directly compromising the national honour, dignity, and good faith in the estimation of the Government of China, and in the eyes of all other nations. \n\nGOD SAVE THE QUEEN. \n\nDated at Government-House, at Victoria, Hong-Kong, \n\nthis 22nd day of July, 1843. \n\nHENRY POTTINGER. \n\nProclamation issued by the Imperial Commissioner, &c. \n\nKEYING, High Commissioner, &c., &c., Kekung, Governor-General, &c., and Ching-yuet-sai, Governor, &c., issue this Proclamation for the purpose of giving clear information and commands. \n\nWhereas, when the English had last year ceased from hostilities, our august Sovereign granted them commercial intercourse at Canton and at four other ports, and was graciously pleased to sanction the Treaty that had been concluded: the ratifications of that Treaty have now therefore been exchanged, and commercial regulations have been agreed upon, and a Tariff of Duties, wherein all fees and presents are abolished, has been distinctly settled. These, as soon as the High Commissioner, with the Governor- General and Governor, shall have received the replies of the Board of Revenue, shall be promulgated, and shall become the rules to be observed in the various ports. The Tariff of Duties will then take effect with reference to the com- merce with China of all countries, as well as of England. \n\nHenceforth, then, the weapons of war shall for ever be laid aside, and joy and profit shall be the perpetual lot of all: neither slight nor few will be the advantages reaped by the merchants, alike of China and of foreign countries. From this time forward all must free themselves from prejudice and suspicions, pursuing each his proper avocation, and careful always to retain no inimical feelings from the recollection of the hostilities that have before taken place. For such feelings and recollections can have no other effect than to hinder the growth of a good understanding between the two people. \n\nWith regard to Foochow, Amoy, Ningpo, and Shanghai, the four ports which, by His Imperial Majesty's gracious permission, are now newly opened for trade, it is requisite that the replies of the Board of Revenue should be received before the commerce of those ports should be actually thrown open. But Canton has been a mart for English trade during more than two centuries past; and therefore, the new regulations having been decided upon, they ought at once to be brought into operation, that the far-travelled merchants may not be any longer detained in the outer seas, disappointed in all their anticipations. The High Commissioner, the Governor-General, and the Governor, have therefore, in concert with the Superintendent of Customs, determined, in fulfilment of their august Sovereign's gracious desire to cherish tenderly men from afar, that a commencement shall be made with the opening of the Port of Canton under the new regulations, on the 1st of the 7th month. The wishes of the merchants will thus, it is hoped, be met. \n\nThe Island of Hong-Kong having been, by the gracious pleasure of His august Majesty, granted as a place of residence to the English nation, the merchants of that nation, who will proceed from thence to the various ports will be numerous; and such vessels as they may engage to convey them to and fro will therefore be required to lie under no restrictions, but merely to accept engagements at fair and just rates. If, however, such passengers convey goods in the same boats with the view of evading the dues of Govern- ment, they shall be subject to such fines as the law shall direct. Should merchants of China desire to proceed to the Island of Hong-Kong aforesaid, to trade, they will be required only to report themselves to the next custom- house, and to pay the duties on their merchandize according to the new Tariff, obtaining a pass before they quit port to commence their traffick. Any who may dare to go and trade without having requested such a pass, on discovery shall be dealt with as offenders of the laws against clandestine traffick, and against contumacious visiting of the open seas. \n\nAs to those natives of China who, in past days, may have served the English soldiery or others with supplies, and may have been apprehended in consequence, the High Commissioner has obtained from the good favour of his august Sovereign, vast and boundless as that of Heaven itself, the remis- sion of their punishment for all past deeds; and any such who may not yet have been brought to trial are therefore no longer to be sought after, while all who may have been seized and brought before Government are granted a free pardon. All persons of this class must then attend quietly to their avo- \n\nན་ \"ན\"\" \n\n!", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-008 - Foreign Office - 1844.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 219632, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-008 - Foreign Office - 1844", "page_number": 92, "title": "CO129-008 - Foreign Office - 1844", "content_text": "\ncations, with a diligent pursuit of every thing that is good and right: they need entertain no appreliension of being hereafter dragged forward, nor yield in consequence to any fears or suspicions. \n\nWith reference to the arrangements which the High Commissioner and his colleagues have made in regard to duties, every thing has been done with a single eye to a just impartiality: all merchants, then, whether of China or of foreign countries, are called upon to consider the many pains that the High Commissioner and his colleagues have taken, and by all means to abide in the quiet pursuit of their respective callings, and in the enjoyment of so auspicious a peace. From henceforward amity and goodwill shall ever con- tinue, and those from afar and those who are near shall perpetually rejoice Such is the fervent hope of the High Commissioner and his col- together. leagues; and in this hope they command implicit obedience to what is now thus specially promulgated. \n\nA true Translation, \n\n(Signed) J.

It is further settled, that in all cases these passes are to be returned to the officers of the Chinese Government, as soon as the trip for which they may be granted shall be completed. \n\nARTICLE XIV. \n\nAn English officer will be appointed at Hong-Kong, one part of whose duty will be to examine the registers and passes of all Chinese vessels that may repair to that port to buy or sell goods, and should such officer at any time, find that any Chinese merchant-vessel has not a pass, or register, from one of the Five Ports, she is to be considered as an unauthorized or smuggling vessel, and is not to be allowed to trade, whilst a report of the circumstance is to be made to the Chinese Authorities. By this arrangement, it is to be hoped that piracy and illegal traffic will be effectually prevented. \n\nARTICLE XV. \n\nShould natives of China who may repair to Hong-Kong to trade, incur debts there, the recovery of such debts must be arranged for by the English Courts of Justice on the spot; but if the Chinese debtor shall abscond and be known to have property, real or personal, within the Chinese territory, the rule laid down in the fourth clause of the General Regulations for Trade shall be applied to the case; and it will be the duty of the Chinese Authorities; on appli- cation by, and in concert with, the British Consuls, to do their utmost to see justice done between the parties. On the same principle, should a British merchant incur debts at any of the Five Ports, and fly to Hong-Kong, the British Authorities will, on receiving an application from the Chinese Govern- ment officers, accompanied by statements and full proofs of the debts, institute an investigation into the claims, and, when established, oblige the defaulter or debtor to settle them to the utmost of his means. \n\nARTICLE XVI. \n\nIt is agreed, that the Custom-house officers at the Five Ports shall make a monthly return to Canton, of the passes granted to vessels proceeding to Hong- Kong, together with the nature of their cargoes, and a copy of these returns will be embodied in one return, and communicated once a-month, to the proper English officer at Hong-Kong, The said English officer will, on his part, make a similar return or communication to the Chinese Authorities at Canton, showing the names of Chinese vessels arrived at Hong-Kong, or departed froni that port, with the nature of their cargoes, and the Canton Anthorities will apprize the Custom-houses at the Five Ports, in order that, by these arrange- ments and precautions, all clandestine and illegal trade, under the cover of passes, may be averted. \n\nARTICLE XVII. \n\nOr Additional Article, relating to British small craft. \n\nVarious small vessels belonging to the English nation, called schooners, cutters, lorchas, &c., &c., have not hitherto been chargeable with tonnage dues, \n\nIt is now agreed, in relation to this class of vessels which ply between Hong-Kong and the city of Macao, that if they only carry passengers, letters, and baggage, they shall, as heretofore, pay no tonnage dues, but if these small craft carry any dutyable articles, no matter how small the quantity may be, they ought, in principle, to pay their full tonnage dues. But this class of small craft are not like the large ships which are engaged in foreign trade; they are con- stantly coming and going; they make several trips a-month, and are not like the large foreign ships, which, on entering the port, cast anchor at Whampoa. If we were to place them on the same footing as the large foreign ships, the charge would fall unequally; therefore after this, the smallest of these craft shall be rated at 75 tons, and the largest not to exceed 150 tons; whenever they enter the port (or leave the port with cargo) they shall pay tonnage dues at the rate of one mace per ton register. If not so large as 75 tons, they shall still be considered and charged as of 75 tons; and if they exceed 150 tons, they shall be considered as large foreign ships, and, like them, charged tonnage dues, at the rate of five mace per register ton. Foo-chow and the other ports having nove of this kind of intercourse, and none of this kind of small craft, it would be unnecessary to make any arrangement as regards them. \n\nThe following are the rules by which they are to be regulated :— 1st. Every British schooner, cutter, lorcha, &c., shall have a sailing letter or register in Chinese and English, under the seal and signature of the Chief Superintendent of Trade, describing her appearance, burthen, &c., &c. \n\nup \n\n2nd. Every schooner, lorcha, and such vessel, shall report herself, as large vessels are required to do, at the Bocca Tigris; and when she carries cargo, she shall also report herself at Whampoa, and shall, on reaching Canton, deliver her sailing letter or register to the British Consul, who will obtain permission from the Hoppo for her to discharge her cargo, which she is not to do without such permission, under the forfeiture of the penalties laid down in the 3rd clause of the General Regulations of Trade. \n\n3rd. When the inward cargo is discharged, and an outward one (if in- tended) taken on board, and the duties on both arranged and paid, the Consul will restore the register or sailing letter, and allow the vessel to depart. \n\nThis Supplementary Treaty, to be attached to the original Treaty of Peace, consisting of sixteen Articles, and one additional Article relating to small vessels, is now written out, forming, with its accompaniments, four pamphlets, and is formally signed aud sealed by their Excellencies the British Plenipo- tentiary, and the Chinese Imperial Commissioner, who, in the first instance, take two copies each, and exchange them, that their provisions may be immediately carried into effect. At the same time, each of these high functionaries, having taken his two copies, shall duly memorialize the Sovereign of his nation; but the two countries are differently situated as respects distance, so that the will of the one Sovereign can be known sooner than the will of the other. \n\nIt is now, therefore, agreed, that on receiving the gracious assent of the Emperor in the Vermilion Pencil, the Imperial Commissioner will deliver the very document containing it into the hands of his Excellency Hwang, Judge of Canton, who will proceed to such place as the Plenipotentiary may appoint, and deliver it to the English Plenipotentiary, to have and to hold. Afterwards, the Sign Manual of the Sovereign of England, having been received at Hong-Kong, likewise gra- ciously assenting to and confirming the Treaty, the English Plenipotentiary will despatch a specially appointed officer to Canton, who will deliver the copy con- taining the Royal Sign Manual to his Excellency Hwang, who will forward it to the Imperial Commissioner, as a rule and a guide to both nations for ever, and as a solemn confirmation of our peace and friendship. A most important Supplementary Treaty. \n\nSigned and sealed at Homun-Chai, on the 8th day of October, 1843, corres- ponding with the Chinese date of the 15th day of the 8th moon, of the 23rd year of Taoukwang. \n\nL.S: of H.

Masters and others in charge of Merchant Vessels are required to hoist their numbers on entering the Port of Victoria. The demand will be made from the Harbour Master's Hill and attention is particularly required to all signals,\n\n2. Masters and other persons in charge of Merchant vessels must on arrival within twenty-four hours, report themselves at the Harbour Master's Office and produce Ship's Articles, list of Passengers and Manifest of Cargo and deposit the Ship's register if required under a penalty not exceeding $200 on refusal or neglect of the Master or other person in charge to do so.\n\n3. In the event of the death of any of the Crew, Passengers or other persons occurring on board of any Merchant vessel whilst in the Port or in case of the desertion or removal of any of the Crew the Master or other person in charge of such vessel shall forthwith report the same in writing to the Harbour Master under a penalty of $25 for every death desertion or removal which he shall so neglect to report.\n\n4. No Master or other person in charge of a Merchant vessel, shall wilfully or negligently leave behind him in this Colony any seaman brought to it on board his vessel unless on a certificate from the Harbour Master or other person appointed to grant the same and if any such Seaman shall wilfully or negligently remain in the Colony after the departure of the vessel which brought him to it without permission of the Harbour Master or other person appointed to grant the same such seaman shall on conviction forfeit and pay a sum not exceeding $25 or in default of payment thereof be liable to arrest as a vagrant and be dealt with accordingly.\n\n5. All Seamen permitted to land from Merchant vessels on liberty are to be furnished with a ticket of leave, under the hand of the master or person in charge of the vessel to which such seaman may belong in default of which they will be liable to the penalties imposed by Ordinance No. 18. But this regulation is not to be considered applicable to men who may come on shore for a short time on duty or business.\n\n6. Every Master or other person in charge of a Merchant vessel arriving at the said Port shall take up the berth pointed out by the Harbour Master and shall not remove from it without his permission under a penalty of $100. He shall also remove his Vessel to any new berth pointed out by the Harbour Master under a fine of $20 for every hour that the vessel shall remain in her old berth after a written notice to shift signed by the Harbour Master shall have been delivered on board of her.\n\n7. All Masters or other persons in charge of vessels are immediately to strike their topgallant yards and masts, to have their jib and spanker booms rigged close in and moor, or clear hawse when called upon by the Harbour Master to do so; and are generally, to follow such directions as the state of the weather, the crowded condition of the Port, or other circumstances, may render necessary or expedient in the judgment of the Harbour Master, with a view to the safety of the whole shipping; and any master or other persons in charge of vessels disobeying or neglecting this Regulation will subject themselves to a fine not exceeding $200, exclusive of payment of all expenses that may be incurred by reason of their said vessels breaking adrift and occasioning damage subsequent to the precautionary orders of the Harbour Master being delivered on board.\n\n8. Transports entitled to carry Pendants will be always berthed by their own agent; and the Harbour Master will make application to the Senior Naval Officer on the spot, respecting any movement connected with such transport that he may judge necessary for the general safety of the shipping in the said Port.\n\n9. Every Master or other person in charge of a merchant vessel shall deliver as soon as possible after his arrival in the said Port all Public Mails entrusted to him for delivery therein and if he shall refuse or neglect to deliver up the same immediately on his arrival or as soon as possible after the same he shall forfeit and pay the sum of $100 for every mail bag or box so unlawfully detained and he shall also deliver to the Post Office any loose letters in his possession addressed to persons in this Colony.\n\n10. All Masters or other persons in charge of vessels about to proceed to sea are to give notice thereof in writing to the Harbour Master and hoist a Blue Peter at least 24 hours before the time of intended departure under a penalty not exceeding $50 unless the Harbour Master shall think fit for a sufficient cause to dispense with the observance of this regulation and it is hereby notified that no vessel will be allowed to depart the master or other person in charge of which shall not have previously paid any fines or expenses awarded or incurred for breach of these regulations.\n\n11. It being obviously necessary, that all vessels should be furnished with some sort of Port Clearance, or certificate of their being allowed to proceed on their intended voyages from the said Port to obviate the risk of their being detained at sea, on account of informality, by any of Her Majesty's Ships which they may fall in with, it is further notified, that the Harbour Master of the said Port will henceforward furnish to all ships such Port Clearances, or certificates, agreeable to a form to be deposited in their Office, and will likewise attest their Manifests (duplicates whereof are to be left with the said Harbour Master); and every vessel neglecting to obtain these papers previous to her departure will do so at her own risk of being seized and detained.\n\n12. All Passage Boats, Lorchas, or other small vessels, plying between Hongkong and Macao or Canton, are required to make known their intended departure two hours before they start, by hoisting a Blue Peter.\n\n13. Seamen or other persons dying on board any ship shall not be thrown overboard within the limits of the said port under a penalty of $25 to be paid by the Master or other person in charge of the vessel on board of which such Seaman or other person died.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-011 - Sir John Davis - 1845 [1-4].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 221295, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-011 - Sir John Davis - 1845 [1-4]", "page_number": 98, "title": "CO129-011 - Sir John Davis - 1845 [1-4]", "content_text": "No. 14. 1895.\n\nKolosure in Despotel\n\nintered\n\n14\n\n14\n\n977 14 Keny\n\nC.

Many bad characters have, I have reason to believe, been driven away in this manner. There seems also to have arisen a better understanding among Chinese and Europeans-and I believe the Tehos, or Native head men (who are present during every Chinese investigation) settle differences without the intervention of the Magistrate. They have been ordered to do so in every practicable case, as where the injury is only personal, the ends of justice are answered, and greater satisfaction is given to the litigants; who, however, are fully aware that they are not thereby deprived of any previously existing right. Many other instances might be adduced, but they will suggest themselves. I have no doubt that the decrease of crime is permanent - It can, I think, only be made so by a stricter system of prevention, as escape from the Island is so easy, that when a crime has been committed, the chances of capturing the offender will be very small, so long as the Chinese Officers continue to render so little, or rather no assistance at all.\n\n[Signed.] C.

COMMANDING THE TROOPS SERVING IN CHINA.\n\nVICTORIA, 14TH OCTOBER, 1844.\n\nWith a view to the more effectual preservation of our amicable relations with China, the Major General Commanding has received the instructions of Her Majesty's Government, to impress upon all Officers and Soldiers and others serving under his orders the great desirability of respecting on all occasions the usages and Institutions of the Country, and of studying the wishes and feelings of the Chinese Authorities and People.\n\nThe Major General has no reason for supposing that any one under his Command has been wilfully deficient in respect for the Higher Classes or in kindly treatment of the lower, but it must be obvious that in a Country so peculiar as China, actions indifferent in themselves, or which among European Nations would lead to little or no inconvenience might produce an impression highly unfavorable to the British character.\n\nIt is under these circumstances the Major General desires to impress the utmost circumspection of Conduct, while he calls upon all under his orders to refrain even from things indifferent if likely to give occasion for misinterpretation.\n\nHer Majesty's Government have expressed their determination to discountenance any proceedings offensive to the Chinese Authorities and People, and if necessary to visit with the severest displeasure any persons under their immediate Control against whom Complaints of this kind should be substantiated; but the Major General is convinced that the Officers and men in this Command require no motives to determine the nature of their intercourse with the natives of China, so strong as those which are founded on their own sense of propriety and justice; and after the high reputation acquired by the Troops in the Field, he feels confidently assured, that they will be the last to detract from it, by any deficiency in those qualities of Courtesy and Kindness which give a permanence and a value to all amicable relations.\n\n(By order,)\n\nT.M.

But this summary power (since confirmed by Ordinance 10 of 1844) was soon, with the verbal sanction of the Government, extended to all persons other than those of European origin; and shortly before His Excellency the late Governor was relieved, an Ordinance giving it a still wider range was about to be laid before the Council.\n\nThis purpose having been interrupted, the right hitherto exercised of disposing of such cases summarily when the Defendants are not Chinese, rests almost solely on prescription, which might not protect us if disputed: yet were the offender sent for trial in the Supreme Court, such a course would frequently entail much expense on the Government, and on account of the fluctuating nature of population, much hardship on all parties concerned.\n\nI am aware that such a power cannot be reconciled with the strict principles of the English Law, but the unprecedented nature of the population of Hongkong seems to warrant a departure from usage, for were the defendants in every case allowed to claim the right of trial by jury, should they deem the decision of the Magistrate erroneous.\n\n(Forwarded.)\n\nI have, &c.\n\n(Signed) C.
