J. Gordon Bremer, and Captain Elliot, held at the house of the latter, in Macao, on the 27th March 1841. \n\nCAPTAIN ELLIOT submitted to their Excellencies the scheme of future operations already Encl, in No. 1. reported in his despatch to the Right honourable the Governor-General of the 24th instant.\" \n\nAttentively considering the remarkable turn of affairs at this point, induced by the recent operations, it was obvious that it might at any moment be necessary to assume a decisively commanding military and political attitude at Canton itself. \n\nThe prostration of the strength of the Provincial Government, the shock it had received in the sight of the people, the exposed condition of the city, the long connexion of the province with the foreign trade, the well-known necessities and dispositions of the people upon that subject, the effects of our late forbearance in the strengthening of their con- fidence in ourselves;-these (with the ignorant and injudicious violence of the Court, upon the other hand) are all considerations which seem to render it of indispensable necessity that the whole land force. should be kept ready for suddenly taking such a position over the heights of Canton, as to enable us at once to break up the Provincial Government, and ensure the complete and safe control over the city and its supplies, both by land and \n\nwater. \n\nWith these and other impressions of cogent force (of which the watching and powerful protection of the trade is one), Captain Elliot proposed in his despatch to the Governor- General, that the movement upon Amoy should be purely naval; and he will only modify that proposition now, by suggesting that the officer charged with that service shall be instructed to secure any point in the harbour, which may leave him a complete control over the city and the trade. \n\nIf the occupation of Canton or its near neighbourhood become necessary, there can of course be no hope of assistance from the land force for the proposed operations in the Yang- tse-Kiang; but if the trade here can be carried through successfully and quietly by the actual degree of pressure (and it will take about two months to run off the main body of it), it is hoped that his Excellency the Major-General will be in a situation to help us with a handsome disposable force for the blow in that quarter. \n\nHis Excellency the Major-General agreed in the probability of an occupation of the heights over Canton, and was not, without regret (as we had approached so near) that the occasion had not been seized to accomplish that object. \n\nIn his view, movement upon Amoy had better be deferred till we were in a situation to carry forward the whole course of our operations to the grand point of attack; and if eir- cumstances did not engage the entire attention of the land force here, he certainly must agree that the Yang-tse-Kiang was a line well suited for the main blow of our ensuing season's campaign. \n\nThe Commodore took occasion to represent that the steam arm of the expedition (which was of cardinal importance) was in a shattered condition; and looking to the actual situation of things here, to the necessity of a very strong and watchful attitude upon the spot, most particularly during the progress of the trade, he had come to the conclusion that he should best advance the public interests by proceeding without one moment's loss of time to Calcutta, for the purpose of full communication with the Right honourable the Governor-General, and particularly to accelerate the steam reinforcements. \n\nThe Major-General having suggested that he thought it possible the Madras Govern- ment might spare Her Majesty's 94th Regiment from Cananore, the Commodore added, that the Jupiter\" should be despatched to that port to await the orders of the Supreme Government; and if the regiment could not be spared, she would be available to bring on the recruits for the other corps, and provisions from Ceylon. \n\nIt was finally determined \n\n1. That not a moment should be lost in the firm and permanent establishment of the depôts and of the British authority at Hong-Kong. \n\n2. That a very watchful attitude should be observed at this point; and that every thing should be kept in readiness for the sudden assumption of complete military and political authority over Canton. \n\n596. \n\nA 3 \n\n3.

One early measure of reinforcement from England appears to be obviously expedient, namely, the sending directly to Hong Kong (touching, of course, for orders, at Singapore) the recruits necessary to fill up their complement, the 18th, the 26th and 55th regiments; I have not named the 49th, as possibly the General Commanding in Chief may have designated that corps, in consequence of their long service in India, for early return to England; and this remark might, perhaps, also be applied to the 55th, which left England in the same year as the 49th; but it is a most valuable and efficient corps, and it might, perhaps, be retained for a service so entirely under the orders of Her Majesty's Government as that of the China expedition. \n\nUpon the condition and wants of the naval force, his Excellency the Naval Commander-in-Chief will, no doubt, have addressed the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty. \n\nI have, &c. \n\n(signed) Auckland. \n\nEnclosure 1, in No. 2. \n\nEXTRACT of a LETTER from the Earl of Auckland to the Plenipotentiaries on the Coast of China. Gentlemen, \n\nFort William, 10 May 1841. I HAVE had the honour to receive the despatches from Captain Elliot, of March 24th and 28th, and have hastened, in concert with his Excellency the naval Commander-in-Chief, ta expedite \n\nMILITARY OPERATIONS IN CHINA. \n\nexpedite the reinforcement required, with a view to the renewal of active operations against the Chinese government. \n\n7. The operations of this season will be conducted under considerable disadvantages. The expedition to the northward can scarcely be collected and move from the Canton Waters till from the 10th to the 15th July. Not more than six weeks will remain for any move- ments in the Gulf of Petchelee and in the immediate vicinity of the capital; and it is to be apprehended that after the end of September the fleet could not, with safety or advantage be retained at the mouths of the Yellow or Yang-tze-kiang rivers. Under these circum- stances you will, doubtless, decide upon pressing the employment both of naval and military means with the greatest possible force and activity. Secrecy, promptitude and energy may, even in the short time which will be at command, do much towards displaying the exposed and defenceless condition of important points of the Chinese empire, and carrying a lively alarm to the court itself. \n\n8. At Canton, the season of trade will have passed before the reinforcements arrive, and I am not aware that there would be benefit in re-establishing a blockade of the river for the present, while many irritating questions might be avoided by the continued suspension of such blockade. The possession of the Island of Wangtong, and the presence of the naval force which will be left, under all circumstances, at and near Hong-Kong, will always furnish the means of reimposing the blockade, if the conduct of the provincial anthorities at Canton should \n\nappear to require that measure. But, as it seems to me, the general good-will of the population, and the free resort of commerce to Hong-Kong, may best be ensured by abstaining, while no paramount necessity may call for a renewed use of force in that quarter, from a course of annoyance and restriction in the Canton River, or on the coast of that province. \n\n9. It may be calculated that the military force assembled at Hong-Kong, early in July, will amount to from 3,600 to 4,000 men, in addition to the marines of the fleet. If, of this force, 1,500 men, with the sick, be left on the island, and for the occupation of Wangtong, the protection of these ports will probably be amply provided for. These are points for the determination of Major-General Sir Hugh Gough, but I may be permitted generally to refer to them in estimating the force which may be available for service in operations along the coast. 10. It may be gathered, then, that a column of nearly 3,000 men, including the marines and disciplined seamen from the ships, can be landed for occasional employment at points of disembarkation; and I should hope that such a column would give a commanding pre- ponderance at those points, against any opposition that may be offered, for the purposes for which their temporary occupation would be of value to us. \n\n11. It has been shown, I think, that little would be gained by any attempt to blockade the great rivers of the empire. Such attempts would dissipate our force, and would apparently be ineffectual, and, at some seasons of the year, exceedingly hazardous. \n\n12. What we have to do in movements along the coasts, is to excite throughout the maritime districts, and yet more at the capital, a keen dread of our power, and, if possible, to seize property sufficient to satisfy our heavy and growing pecuniary claims. \n\n13. For both of these objects the assault of Amoy, of any accessible towns on or near the great rivers of the central provinces, and of the port of Tientsin near the capital, would appear to be the course the most to be recommended. One blow of this kind, rapidly succeeding another, may have much effect in bringing the court to a temper which shall admit of a suitable accommodation. With these measures might possibly be conjoined the holding and shutting up the point of intersection of the great canal with the Yang-tze-kiang river, so long as a naval force can be kept at that point. \n\n14. The towns thus assaulted must be held for the time in the most effective possession practicable; and all such valuable property as might become prize by the usages of war, and is capable of being carried off with facility, should be secured. All Government property, which may not admit of being removed, should probably be, as far as possible, destroyed. The levying a money contribution on a town, instead of seizing property, will be subject for consideration with the officer commanding, if he finds such a measure within his power. \n\n20. If the season will not admit of operations before the setting in of the northerly monsoon at Amoy, in the central rivers, and in the Peiho, it will be a subject of grave deli- beration with you in which of the two last named quarters the force should immediately act. There are obviously very powerful motives for making our strength felt as soon as possible in the Peiho; but the question can alone be decided upon your approach to the scene of operations, and there may be reasons which would render the contrary resolution the proper one: still I would say that the movement to the Peiho ought not to be postponed, excepting in consideration of manifest and pressing urgency. \n\n23. Even during the brief period of the active operations of this season on the coast, inconvenience may be experienced from the want of an island, or other post, to which the fleet may repair for shelter, for water, for the establishment of depots, the protection of prize property, and other objects: and as I have before recommended, so I would now again urge, that the Pescadores islands should be visited, their value for our purposes ascertained, and the Chinese garrison expelled. But your most careful inquiry will also be given at every point on the upper coasts, in order to discover whether there be any other island which would better suit our object in seeking a place of settlement and trade than Chusan itself; and if you should not find such an island, then I should suggest that you should, after leaving the Peiho, or otherwise closing the operations of the year, land a sufficient body of troops, say 1,200 or 1,500 men, to retake the city of Tinghaee, and to occupy a position in the neighbourhood, 596. \n\nA 4 \n\n", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-001 - Sir Hug Cough-s China Military Correspondences - 1841-1843.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 216767, "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": 251, "title": "CO129-001 - Sir Hug Cough-s China Military Correspondences - 1841-1843", "content_text": "Encl. 2 in No, z. \n\nNaval Reinforce- \n\nrents. \n\nCORRESPONDENCE RELATIVE TO \n\nneighbourhood, in which, with the aid of a moderate naval force, they could maintain them- selves for the more healthy season of the winter against any efforts the Chinese might make for their expulsion. 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.

The Madras reinforcements will be forwarded in Her Majesty's troop ship, \"Jupiter,\" which \n\nyour Committee are aware was directed by the authorities in China to proceed to Can- nanore, to be ready, in case the Indian Government should find it expedient to send a Queen's regiment from that port to China, but which vessel we subsequently desired might go round to the Madras Ronds. \n\n12.

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.

In this statement will be entered the lists and valuations of military and ordnance stores expended and returned, the charges for extra pay of troops, the hire of the transports, and other marine charges; value of commissariat supplies provided at the cost of the Indian Government; value of coal and marine supplies, and wear and tear of steamers, &c. calculated at the rate of 10 per cent. on the block and rigging. \n\n19. We have requested the Government of Bombay to have arrangements in readiness for the quick conveyance to his destination of any successor to Admiral Elliot, who may come overland from England. \n\n20. Certain proposed arrangements for the better conduct of the post-office, distribution of letters in China, and the establishment of a post-office at Hong Kong, are in contem- plation. \n\n21. 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.

Viscount Palmer- ston to Sir Henry Pottinger, \n\n2 June 1841. \n\nCORRESPONDENCE RELATIVE TO \n\nand military force as may be considered by the Governor-general of India suffi- cient for the service which it may be called upon to perform; but it is desirable that should proceed to China as soon as you can, if you find, ou reaching Calcutta, that such a force is already gone thither; and you should accompany that force, if it shall be despatched to China after you reach Calcutta. \n\nyou \n\nThe first operation which the naval and military force will have to perform, if that operation is not accomplished before your arrival in China, will be the re-occupation of the island of Chusan; and that should precede any negotiation on your part. 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": 216771, "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": 255, "title": "CO129-001 - Sir Hug Cough-s China Military Correspondences - 1841-1843", "content_text": "\n\nNo. 11. \n\nThe Secret Com- mittee to the Governor-General \n\nof India, \n\n4 October 1841. \n\nCORRESPONDENCE RELATIVE TO \n\ndisembark on the Peiho river a body of not less than from 7,000 to 10,000 troops, which shall have the means of marching on Pekin, and be capable of defeating any army that may be opposed to it, and thus placing the fate of the capital at our disposal. \n\n10. It will be for Her Majesty's Government most seriously to consider this impor- tant subject, and to place the government of India in possession of their instruc- tions upon it, at latest, before the 1st January next, in order that timely measures I have may be taken for the execution of such orders during the season of 1842. before said that I would make no effort to obtain privileges of settlement on the mainland, which I should regard as a pregnant source of future embarrassment and troubles. But a clear treaty with the Emperor is, no doubt, an object of high national importance, and Her Majesty's Government can alone determine whether it \n\nto incur the sacrifices required for compelling an acquiescence may be proper in such a treaty. \n\n11. I repeat that definitive orders on these points should be received in India before the 1st of January. It may then be possible (unless, indeed, new and extraordinary necessities should arise in India) to raise in this country, in augmen- tation of the armament already sent to China, and to have assembled at Hong- Kong, by the commencement of the favourable season, a fresh body of 5,000 native troops, with a sufficient number of officers, for this special service, and to add to them another Queen's regiment from the Indian establishments; such a reinforce- ment to the force already on the coast would, we may hope (provided that every regiment now in China shall be also filled up with recruits from England to a com- plement of 1,000 men), render it effective for the complete accomplishment of the orders of the Crown. The cost of such an additional armament, with transports, commissariat, &c., would, however, certainly not be less than 500,0001. per annum, and it would swell the whole yearly cost of that part of the expedition which is provided by the Government of India to nearly 1,200,000 7. \n\n12. As the greater part of this further force, supposing it to be sanctioned, would consist of native troops, its supply of provisions would be cared for from India. But it would be necessary, under any circumstances, to send as liberal a supply of provisions, and of ammunition and materials, as may be convenient from England, for the navy and the European portion of the military force, and for the general use of the expedition. I have not the means of furnishing accurate csti- mates on these points, to which I would, however, request the careful and carly attention of the proper departments at home, which may be able to form some standard for their guidance by reference to the stocks which they caused to be for- warded to China for the service of the past and of the present year. \n\n18. I have said nothing in this despatch on the subject of naval forces, and would leave it to the Naval Commander-in-Chief to declare, in his communica- tions to the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, his wants in regard to ships and equipments. I would, however, observe that, upon a coast service, and in seas so uncertain as are those of China, we must look for frequent accidents, and that no opportunity should be lost in sending out reinforcements, particularly in ships of light draft, and adapted to river movements; and, in the event of protracted operations, I would strongly dwell upon the advantage of our having more ships fitted out, and equipped, and officered, and manned, as are the \"Jupiter\" and \"Rattlesnake,” expressly for the conveyance of troops; with two or three more of such ships, we might probably, with economy, dispense with a large number of the transports now held in pay, and for the security of naviga- tion and safety of the troops, as well as for the efficiency of the service, the measure appears to me to be most desirable. \n\n-No. 11. \n\nCory of a LETTER from the Secret Committee to the Governor-General of India in Council. \n\n4 October 1841.

We do not think that it would be advisable to withdraw from India, for service in the China Scas, any larger amount of European troops than that now employed there; but you will either continue to employ on that service the four Queen's regiments now engaged in operations against China, namely, the 18th, the 26th, the 49th, and the 55th, or, if you should see reason to relieve any one or more of those regiments, you will supply the place of the force relieved by other Queen's troops to an equal amount. \n\n4. We understand that there are now at the depôts of these regiments, belong- ing to the 18th, 70 men; to the 26th, 398; to the 49th, 133; and to the 55th, 41; in all, 642 men. \n\n5. These, together with any further number of recruits which may be obtained by those regiments before December, will, in that month, be sent direct to Singapore, where we trust that they will arrive by the second week in April 1842. 6. We have carefully considered the strength and distribution of the native army, according to the last returns in our possession, and we are of opinion that one complete regiment (of volunteers) from Bengal, and three complete regi- ments from Madras, may be employed in operations on the coast of China; and we direct that this force shall be so employed in 1842; not precluding you, how- ever, from employing on that service a larger force of native troops, should you be of opinion that a larger force of those troops can be drawn from India. \n\n7. The limited number of Queen's regiments which can be detached on that service necessarily imposes some limit upon the amount of native troops which can be employed in conjunction with them. We do not think it advisable that the number of native troops employed on the coast of China should exceed the proportion of two-thirds to the number of Her Majesty's troops engaged in that \n\nservice. \n\n8. The observance of this proportion will limit to eight regiments of native infantry the force which we should deem it expedient so to employ; but within this limit you will consider yourselves authorized to employ any amount of such native troops which you may be of opinion that you can detach with safety. \n\n9. You will understand that the object of Her Majesty's Government, and ours, is to make as great an effort in 1842 as our means will permit, in the hope and expectation that such effort, directed according to the instructions which will be hereafter transmitted by Her Majesty's Government, will have the effect of compelling the Chinese Government to accede to terms of peace, honourable to Her Majesty, and conducive to the future security of British trade. \n\n10. In addition to the troops above-mentioned, you will so increase the strength of the artillery, sappers and miners, now employed in China, as to make it in proportion to the increased strength of the army, and to enable the Commander- in-Chief, without weakening the crews of Her Majesty's ships, to occupy in sufficient force the islands of Wang-tong and Hong-Kong; and as we look forward to the probability of its being found expedient to occupy, not tempora- rily, but for a lengthened period, at least one other island, which will require for its defence a considerable number of guns, we desire that you will advert to this circumstance, and make provision accordingly, both of men and of guns of a heavy calibre, and of mortars. \n\n11. As at present advised, we are of opinion that a force of artillery, sappers and miners, amounting to 750 men, would be found sufficient, in addition to some force of that description, which we are informed it is the intention of Her Majesty's Government to send from this country. \n\n12. You will further embark for service with the army in China, 500 gun Lascars, and at least four light pieces of horse artillery, four or six pounders. Two horses should be sent for each gun, with a small reserve, so that each man might be always so drawn. The Lascars, aided by seamen and soldiers on fatigue, assisted by any animals the country may furnish, will draw the ammunition not carried on the limbers. The light guns should each have 200 rounds of spherical case-shot. Inquiry will be made whether you have such shot for the lightest calibre of field guns, which should be that preferred; and if you have not, it will be sent from hence. The Lascars and light horse artillery you will send from Madras. A part of the rocket troop will be sent from hence, with a supply of shot, rockets, and half a company of artillery, with six iron twenty-four pounders, and platforms for them, and 100 rounds of ammunition for each gun. \n\n596. \n\nC \n\n13.

You will take immediate measures for the preparation of this force, and for the hiring of transports for their conveyance. Being thus early instructed as to the amount of tonnage required, you will be enabled, we conclude, to engage a portion of it on moderate terms at Bombay, and to bring such transports round to Madras, in time to convey the reinforcements from thence to Singapore, by the middle of April. It is our earnest desire that the whole force to be sent from India and this country for service in China, during 1842, should be col- lected at Singapore by the second week in April; and we rely upon every exer- tion being made on your part to effect this essential object. \n\n14. We are led to think that, after making ample provision for the packet- service, you will have disposable in 1842, for service in China, the following wooden steamers : \n\nQueen. Tenasserim. \n\nSemiramis. \n\nEnterprize. Sesostris. \n\nMadagascar. Auckland. \n\nProserpine. \n\nCruizer \n\nMILITARY OPERATIONS IN CHINA. \n\nHerald Calliope Nimrod \n\nCaptain Nias. \n\nCaptain Herbert. \n\nCommander Glasse. \n\nLarne \n\nHyacinth \n\nFavorite \n\nChilders \n\nCommander Halsted. \n\nColumbine \n\nPylades \n\nModeste \n\nPelican \n\nCommander C.

We shall, on our part, take measures for despatching from this country, in December, direct for Singapore, the steamer \"Memnon,\" of 1,100 tons and 400 horse power, and every exertion will be made to despatch, at an carlier period than February (in which month she is now expected to be ready), the steamer \" Acbar,\" of 1,100 tons, and 350 horse power. This steamer will like- wise be sent direct to Singapore. The iron steamer \"Pluto,\" of 100 horse power, is now ready at Portsmouth, and will be at your disposal for service in will have for the ensuing cam- China in 1842. We expect, therefore, that you paign eight (and, including the “ Acbar,\" nine) wooden steamers, and four iron \n\nsteamers. \n\n16. As the service upon which the force will be in all probability employed will bring the ships into rivers where attempts may be made to burn them, you will provide every steamer, ship-of-war and transport, with such booms as she can conveniently carry. Each boom should have at each end a stout chain and hooks, that the several booms may be firmly joined together. Each vessel should have six light kedge or stream anchors, for the purpose of holding the booms; and for each anchor should be supplied 10 or 12 fathoms of light, but suffi- ciently stout, chain. The booms will probably be most conveniently carried by each vessel under her chains. No vessel, however small, should have a less length of booms than 60 feet. Thus each vessel will be able in a river to protect herself, and the booms of several vessels joined together will form a per- fect protection for them all. You will take care that each vessel has several spare boats. If we should find, upon inquiry, that you have not, or could not easily or in good time, provide a sufficient number of such anchors as we have described, we shall send a number of them to Singapore; but you will depend, not upon us, but upon yourselves, for providing them. Spare booms and anchors, with longer chains attached to them, should be sent for the service of Her Majesty's ships, which will require them in deeper water. \n\n17. We have ascertained that the amount of Her Majesty's naval forces to be employed in the China Seas in 1842, will be at least equal to that employed this year, and that the vessels despatched from England to relieve those now in the China station, which should come home, will be at Canton or Singapore by the middle of April. In the event of a larger force of Her Majesty's ships being required in 1842 than is employed this year, the Admiral will be authorized to detain the ships which would otherwise come home; but we do not apprehend the occurrence of this emergency. We enclose a list we have received from the Admiralty of the ships on the China station this year, and of such as will sail from hence this year in time for the commencement of the campaign of 1842. \n\nCornwallis Blenheim \n\nEndymion \n\nCaptain O.

Stores were also furnished at the discretion of the Governor-general, the British Treasury engaging to make good the extraordinary expenses incurred on that account, and charged in the first instance upon Indian revenues. \n\nBut it appears further, that stores and provisions, and a small force of British artillery, have also been furnished from England, for none of which does it appear that official authority from the Secretary of State has been conveyed to the Boards of Admiralty and Ordnance. \n\nany \n\nAt a subsequent period, the power of negotiation has been transferred to a Plenipotentiary, acting under the instructions of the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs. \n\n596. \n\nC 2 \n\nHer", "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.

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": 216777, "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": 261, "title": "CO129-001 - Sir Hug Cough-s China Military Correspondences - 1841-1843", "content_text": "No. 19.

WITH reference to your Lordship's letter of the 6th ultimo, forwarding for my consideration letters from the Governor-general of India of the 16th Sep- tember and the 21st of October, respecting the supply of provisions for the use of Her Majesty's naval and military forces serving in China I have to observe that I infer, from the correspondence, that all necessary steps for supplying with pro- visions the native troops now serving in China have been, or will be, taken in India by the Governor-general, and that I have to consider the requisition for the supply of the Europeans engaged, or about to be engaged, in that service only; and that even as regards these, it is for supplies to be used after the commence- ment of July 1842 only, that the Governor-general requires provision to be made. \n\nIn reference to this important question, considerable difficulty has been expe- rienced in ascertaining what is the real state of the case, what the probable stock on hand, and what consequently the amount which it becomes necessary for Her Majesty's Government to forward from this country. \n\nOn a comparison of the different requisitions and calculations with the accounts of supplies already shipped from this country, or in course of preparation, and with the scale on which such supplies are reckoned by Her Majesty's Victualling Department, it appears that some confusion has existed, and that sup- plies intended for the same period have been in the course of preparation in India and in this country at the same time, but that, on the other hand, the scale on which the supplies required appear to have been calculated by the Governor- general differs materially from that in Her Majesty's Victualling Department; and further, that not only the quantities of the stores sent from India had been considerably diminished, or were likely to be so by extensive condemnations, but that the Governor-general had made his calculations on the assumption of there being only 7,500 Europeans to be provided for; whereas, as your Lordship is aware, Her Majesty's Government expect that number will, by the month of April, have been increased to 10,000. \n\nUnder these circumstances, it being obvious that a literal compliance with the requisitions of the Governor-general would not have answered the proposed object, I directed a statement to be prepared by the Victualling Board from all the different sources of information within their reach, including that received from the Governor-general, to show how far the provisions actually shipped or in course of preparation for shipment, when added to those which Lord Auckland appears to have purchased, will collectively form a stock, either equal, or inade- quate, or superior to the exigencies of the service for the \n\nyear 1842, \n\nIn consequence of certain articles required for the service appearing by this statement to be still deficient, I have directed those articles which could most conveniently be procured in this country to be supplied, and notes to be appended to the statement, pointing out from whence it is supposed deficiencies not pro- vided for might be made good, and I now forward to your Lordship that state- ment corrected to the present date. \n\nI trust that the steps which have been taken will have ensured to Her Ma- jesty's Naval and Military Forces in China an adequate supply of all provisions necessary for the service which it is expedient to forward from this country; and that no difficulty will be experienced in procuring those which it is thought may be more advantageously purchased in India. But with the view of preventing for the future the confusion which appears to have prevailed in the present instance on this head, I have to request that the Governor-general may be informed that after the provisions that are in course of preparation shall have been despatched from this country to China, no further supplies shall be sent until demands for specific articles and quantities shall have been regularly made upon this country for such provisions as may be required either by the Governor-general in India, \n\nMILITARY OPERATIONS IN CHINA. \n\nor by the Naval Commander-in-Chief, bearing in mind that in making such demands, regard should be had not only to the time which will be required to prepare the provisions to be despatched from this country, but also to the period of the season when the ships should leave England to ensure their early arrival in China. \n\nThe Governor-general will understand, that any demands to be made from China in pursuance of the above arrangements, are to be addressed direct to myself, and in duplicate to him. \n\nI have to request that your Lordship will communicate this letter through the usual channel to the Governor-general. \n\n-No. 20. \n\nI have, &c.

It is incumbent on me, at this Sir W. Parker, late period of the year, to place the troops in winter quarters best calculated to 22 Nov. 1841. ensure their efficiency for the ensuing campaign, as I do not see the possibility, until the spring, of ulterior operations of auy importance. \n\nIt is hardly necessary for me to remark, that we are now here, not in con- sequence of any preconcerted plans, but of circumstances over which neither the political, the naval, or the military chiefs could have any control. I have remained here with a perfect knowledge that Ningpo is not the position that a soldier would choose to occupy with the disposable force I have, and with Chinhae within 12 miles of him; but I have done so with a hope (though not a very sanguine one) that, like Canton, this city, if not the province, would be ransomed, or that some communication would be received from Pekin; and I am well aware that, in either case, it was of importance to retain possession of this populous commercial town. From all the information I can procure, it would appear that the Imperial Commissioner, and General Yih-King and three other generals, together with Keshen, and a board of courtiers from Pekin, have arrived at Hong-Chow, and if they were disposed to treat or ransom, some communication would most decidedly ere this have reached us; we, therefore, can only now calculate upon an organised system of annoyance; I will not make use of any other term, as I do not think that the Chinese will, at least before spring, venture upon any very serious demonstration; but it cannot be expected that they will permit us, with our present force, to occupy such a town as Ningpo, without putting into operation the stratagem and intrigue which is their favourite mode of warfare. \n\n596. \n\nD 3 \n\nBefore \n\nor \n\n", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-001 - Sir Hug Cough-s China Military Correspondences - 1841-1843.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 216778, "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": 262, "title": "CO129-001 - Sir Hug Cough-s China Military Correspondences - 1841-1843", "content_text": "\nCORRESPONDENCE RELATIVE TO \n\nBefore such a system, therefore, becomes apparent, I consider it most expedient for us to concentrate our force at Chinhae. As to eventually (permanently) retaining Ningpo, it would be a clog to us, even were it prudent to contemplate the measure. The question then is, what is the best course to pursue on evacuating the place?\" A settlement of the Chinese question can only be obtained by the Emperor's acceding to the terms proposed by the British Government; by the overthrow of the present Chinese dynasty; or by the expulsion of the British naval and military force; this latter case no Englishman can contemplate; in viewing the other two, it must be borne in mind that there is as much a pro- spective as an immediate object to be gained, and I think that the spirit of Lord Auckland's very luminous despatch of the 10th of May points out the great im- portance of encouraging a friendly feeling with a view to future commercial intercourse; his Lordship, it is true, applies this principle to the provinces of Canton and Fokien, but I feel confident that, were his Lordship in possession of facts connected with our present position, he would desire to apply it equally to this province, and possibly to the whole of China. The idea of pressing the Chinese Government through the medium of the people, has in my opinion proved fallacious; the whole system of Chinese policy shows that whatever may be the feelings of the Emperor towards his subjects, the Mandarins and all the Government officers are indifferent to their welfare, further than suits their own purposes; and I believe that you would inflict no greater annoyance upon the Chinese Government than by opening the eyes of the people to the fact, that the British character has been foully belied, and that we are not only a brave, but a just and honourable nation. It is therefore, I confess, my most anxious wish not to seize the private property, whether placed in shop, who has remained upon the spot. It must be remembered that Ningpo offered no opposition; that the inhabitants threw themselves on our protection, or pretended to do so; and that a number of Ningpo men have been taken up as traitors to their own country, merely because their townsmen held friendly intercourse with the British. I would, therefore, having now remained six weeks amongst them without the occurrence of a single act of oppression on our part, seek to leave a strong impression of our forbearance, our moderation, and our justice; and I am confident that by our alone seizing or destroying Government property, and taking a duty of 10 per cent, on all imports and exports, except from places in our own possession, that desirable object would be effected. \n\nIn this point of view, it appears to me, that the course above-mentioned would be the most judicious policy; and, considering also the importance laid on the expeditious proceeding to the Peiho next spring, I would suggest the expe- diency of husbanding the troops as well as the naval force this winter as much as possible, to prepare them for the ensuing campaign to the northward. By this time, in all probability, 800 recruits from England have arrived at Hong-Kong, and 1 would therefore beg leave to suggest that the \"Jupiter\" be sent down as soon as practicable, to bring up the 26th regiment from Hong-Kong and Amoy. I will instruct Major-general Burrell to retain the recruits of the 49th and 55th regiments, amounting to 520 men, to replace the wing of the 26th, and to send on the recruits of the 18th (160), with any recovered men belonging to the five companies of that corps at Amoy, to that station, to replace there the detachments of the 26th (150) under Major Johnstone; this will give us by the end of January at farthest, a reinforcement of about 600 well-drilled acclimatized men, which, with the force that I can collect during the winter at Chinhae, will enable us to proceed at the very first change of the monsoon to the entrance of the Gulph of Pechele, and take up some defensible position where the reinforcements from India could join us, on the Shou-tung promontory, say at Tin-tehro-foo, or one of the Minatan Islands, or possibly on one of the islands higher up the Gulph. \n\nMILITARY OPERATIONS IN CHINA. \n\n- No. 22.- \n\nEXTRACT of a LETTER from Rear-Admiral Sir William Parker to Lieutenant- General Sir Hugh Gough, dated 2 December 1841. WHENEVER the troops remove to Chinghae, I propose to place a sufficient Sir William Parker \n\nNo. 22. force of the squadron to support the garrison, and to employ the remainder at to Sir Hugh Goughb, Chusan, or where they may be most required, with a view to the public service, 2 December 1841. and our expected operations next season. \n\nBefore your Excellency's letter reached me, I had made preparatory arrange- ments for despatching the \"Jupiter\" to Hong-Kong to receive the troops from the transports, \"Carnatic,\" \"Earl of Hardwick\" and \"Tartar,\" having been informed by the Plenipotentiary that they will be on heavy demurrage if the men are not removed as soon as they arrive. She will be ready to sail shortly; and I will take care to instruct Mr. Fulton to embark and bring up the men, agreeably to the details you have transmitted, or any alteration you may devise. \n\nI seriously hope that further reinforcements will arrive to enable us to go to the northward as early as possible next year. But I much doubt whether it will be advisable to proceed until the main body is assembled, for reasons which I will explain when I have the pleasure of seeing you. \n\n- No. 23,- \n\nEXTRACT of a DESPATCH from Lord Stanley to the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty. \n\nDowning-street, 4 February 1842. \n\nNo. 23. \n\nI ASSUME, that the operations of 1841 will have been limited to the successful Lord Stanley to the attack upon Amoy, the occupation of Kulungsu, and the re-occupation of the Lords Commis Island of Chusan. \n\nsioners of the 4 February 1842. Admiralty, \n\nI assume, that the forces available for 1842 will be an army of 9,000 to 10,000 men, of which there will be five British regiments, amounting to about 4,000 men, and a company of British Artillery, combined with a naval force of three ships of the line, and a fleet, including thirteen or fourteen steamers, of about forty sail. \n\nIt will, of course, be necessary to provide for the maintenance of Hong-Kong, of the Island of Kulungsu, and of Chusan. The remainder of the force, naval and military, will be available for such operations as it may be deemed most advisable to undertake, with a view of producing such an impression on the court of Pekin, as to lead to a speedy compliance with the terms which Sir Henry Pottinger is instructed to require. \n\n-No. 24.- \n\nCOPY of a LETTER from the Right Hon. Lord Ellenborough to Lord Stanley. (Received 5th May.) My Lord, \n\nFort William, 18 March 1842. \n\nNo. 24. IMMEDIATELY after my arrival at this Presidency, I judged it necessary to Lord Ellenborough address letters to the Commander-in-Chief of the land and sea forces of Her to Lord Stanley, Majesty in China, detailing for their Excellencies' information, the extent of the 18 March 1842. military and naval strength to be placed at their disposal for the campaign of the year 1842, and explaining the measures taken by the Government of India for sending further reinforcements of native troops to China. In these letters, copies of which are enclosed, for the information of Her Majesty's Government, I have communicated to the Military and Naval Commanders-in-Chief the manner in which the forces under their command are to be employed. \n\nIt occurred to me as not impossible that no instructions will have been sent from China to Singapore to the address of Lord Saltoun, commanding the rein- forcements on their way from England, to await his Lordship's arrival at that port, and I have therefore addressed a letter to that officer, a copy of which \n\n596. \n\nD 4 \n\nis", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-001 - Sir Hug Cough-s China Military Correspondences - 1841-1843.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 216780, "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": 264, "title": "CO129-001 - Sir Hug Cough-s China Military Correspondences - 1841-1843", "content_text": "\n\nNot received at \n\nCORRESPONDENCE RELATIVE TO \n\nKin-shan, which lies at the mouth of the Grand Imperial Canal; that you should fortify that island as strongly as you can, and give to it an ample garrison, and a sufficient supply of provisions, so that in the event of your Excellency being induced to leave it for a time to its own resources, it may be able to defend itself against any force the Chinese may bring against it, until your Excellency may return to relieve it. \n\n26. From this place, so made secure, your Excellency will carry on such operations as you may deem advisable for interrupting altogether the whole trade of the Chinese Empire, which is carried on by the Imperial Canal, and thus forcing the Chinese Government to accede to such terms of peace às Her Majesty may think fit to demand. \n\n27. For information relative to the Yang-tse-kiang and the island of Kin-shan, I refer your Excellency to the papers numbered 7 and 8, which are annexed to this letter; and for the views entertained by His Grace the Duke of Wellington, with respect to the operations to be carried on, to the extracts from a memorandum 9 and memorandum 10. \n\n28. I have further annexed to this letter (No. -) three copies. of a sketch made by an the Colonial Office. officer attached to Lord Amherst's embassy, of the Yang-tse-kiang, from Kin-shan to \n\nNankin. \n\n29. To the statements contained in the memorandum upon that island and its vicinity, I should add, that the part of the town of Kwatchoo (opposite Kin-shan) which is on the east bank of the Grand Canal, is on high ground, and commands the other part of the town from which it is divided. \n\n30. I conclude that your Excellency must be in possession of the report of Captain Bethune upon the Yang-tse-kiang, but I think it safer to annex it likewise (No. 12.) to this letter. \n\n31. Your Excellency will understand, that it is upon operations carried on in the neigh- bourhood of, and upon the Grand Imperial Canal, and interrupting the internal commerce of the Chinese Empire, that Her Majesty's Government rely for an early and satisfactory termination of the war. Her Majesty's Government, earnestly desirous that the war should be so terminated, have at great cost and with great sacrifices, placed an amply sufficient. force for coercing the Chinese Emperor, at your Excellency's disposal; and they entertain no doubt that your Excellency, acting with your accustomed vigour and ability, will so apply that force as to effect the sole objects they have in view,--the vindication of the honour of Her Majesty's Crown, and the establishment of peaceful commerce with the Chinese nation upon a secure and permanent basis. \n\n32. It is the conviction of Her Majesty's Government that the continued application of a sufficient force to the complete interruption of the internal trade of the Chinese Empire carried on by the Grand Imperial Canal, must necessarily compel the submission of the Chinese Emperor to Her Majesty's just demands. Your Excellency will therefore confine yourself to such measures as may, in your opinion, most certainly lead to the accomplish- ment of that purpose, and will either evacuate or occupy any points on the Chinese coast as you may think most conducive to the attainment of it, making all minor considerations yield to that of succeeding in the great enterprise with which your Excellency is intrusted. \n\n33. Your Excellency will, however, in whatever operations you may think it expedient to carry on, always bear in mind that it is the decided opinion of Her Majesty's Government that the military and naval forces employed in the expedition should, at all times, be placed in such positions as may secure their easy and constant communication with each other. The equipment furnished to the troops under your Excellency's command is not such as to enable them to carry on with security and effect any operations at a distance from naval support; nor is it desired that such should be their character. Without incurring any such risk, your Excellency may, by operations within the reach of the fleet upon the commercial communications of the Chinese Empire, effect all the purposes which Her Majesty's Govern- ment have in view. \n\nI send a copy of this letter to the Naval Commander-in-Chief, whom I, at the same time, address in a separate letter, of which a copy is enclosed for your Excellency's information. \n\nGins. \n\nMILITARY OPERATIONS IN CHINA. \n\n26 Alligator, ordered to be fitted as a receiving ship at Trincomalee. 26 Herald. \n\n26 Conway. \n\n26 Calliope. 20 Nimrod. 18 Pylades. 18 Modeste. \n\n18 Favorite. \n\n18 Larne. 18 Hyacinth. \n\n16 Cruizer. \n\nNo. 2. \n\nGuns. \n\n16 Childers, \n\n16 Pellican. \n\n16 Clio. \n\n10 Algerine. \n\n10 Camelion. \n\nSulphur,Surveying vessels ordered Starling, \n\nJupiter, \n\nhome. \n\nRattlesnake, Troop ships. \n\n10 Britomart, at Australia. \n\n4 Beagle, Surveying vessel at Australia. \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, to relieve 42 Thalia \n\nGuns. 44 Druid. \n\n26 Herald. \n\n26 North Star \n\n26 Conway. \n\n18 Dido \n\n26 Calliope. \n\n16 Hazard \n\n16 Siren \n\n16 Harlequin \n\n16 Serpent \n\nBelleisle \n\n\" \n\n>> \n\n18 Modeste. \n\n18 Favorite. \n\n18 Larne. \n\nApollo Troop ships.

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.

Lord Stanley, \n\n&c. \n\n&c. &c. \n\n(Signed) \n\nNEILL MALCOLM. \n\nEnclosure in No. 1. \n\nTo the Right Honourable Lord Stanley, Secretary of State for the Colonial Department, &c. &c. &c. \n\nThe MEMORIAL of the Standing Committee of West India Planters and Merchants. Showeth, \n\nTHAT your Memorialists submit they are justly entitled to hire free labourers wherever they may be found, and especially in all parts of the British dominions. \n\nThat every limitation of this right is injurious not only to them but also to those who would be willing to enter into their employment; and at the same time affords direct encourage- ment to the continuance of the Slave Trade, by enhancing the cost, and diminishing the extent, of production in the West India Colonies of those commodities which are in other tropical countries cultivated by slaves. \n\nThat although it appears from the Report made to the House of Commons last Session by the Committee appointed to inquire into the state of the settlements on the West Coast of Africa, that\" emigration to a great extent might take place from Sierra Leone with advantage to that colony,\" yet many circumstances conspire to render it extremely doubtful whether a considerable supply of labour can be obtained from that source so speedily as the urgent wants of the West India Colonies demand. All parties having any interest in upholding the existing establishments, or in preventing the partial removal of the population, whereby the rate of wages might be raised, are naturally averse to emigration; and, though the plan recently adopted for conducting it under the superintendence of Her Majesty's Government, is calcu lated, if efficiently carried out, to realize the double advantage of improving the condition of the people of Sierra Leone, and affording valuable aid to the West India Colonies, it must be expected to encounter, as it does, great practical opposition. It is probable that a long con tinued and active intercourse must take place, and consequently much time elapse, before a knowledge of the great benefits to be derived from emigration shall be generally diffused and credited among them. Unnecessary restrictions are also still imposed upon the free agency of the liberated slaves, as well as upon the influx of people from the adjacent countries which cannot fail to operate against the success of the measure. The liberated captives are required to observe forms (accompanied by the payment of fees), which would be obstructive even to an intelligent peasant in this country, and the local authorities on whom they depend have an indirect interest in dissuading them. No African is allowed to embark at Sierra Leone without having previously resided there for six weeks, a restriction which, in the circumstances of that place, is tantamount to prohibition, as it implies the necessity of his bringing with him the means of subsisting in idleness for at least that period, it being notorious that he cannot there procure any employment. If it be alleged that the intending emigrant may have escaped from slavery it cannot be denied that he is entitled to perfect freedom the moment he enters within the British territory. Instead of being restrained from securing his newly acquired privileges, he ought to receive aid and encouragement. Even if all these obstructions were removed, and facilities were extended to the other British settlements on the West Coast of Africa, your Memorialists would still have to contend with the natural reluctance which every- where prevails, as well as the prejudice created by the Slave Trade, against emigration.

The papers now before Parliament furnish unquestionable evidence of its complete success. By them it is clearly proved that all the allegations made against the removal and employment of these people, were quite unfounded. They appear to be perfectly suited to the climate, and, according to the report of Sheriff Whinfield of Berbice, \"they have executed their work in a much more steady and satisfactory manner than the negro population.\" Besides enjoying throughout their sojourn in Guiana comforts to which they were strangers in India, they have been enabled to amass considerable wealth. The periods of their engagements having expired, a portion of them, in all 236, including some women and children, have taken advantages of the free passages provided for them, to visit their homes, carrying with them upwards of 25,000 dollars in money, besides other property. But, as Governor Light remarks in his Despatch to your Lordship, dated 15th May last, they one and all of those who embarked, expressed their intention of endeavouring to return with their families, satisfied that in the West Indies they can be better off than in their own country, and more free from oppression.\" This expression of their own feelings after embarkation, affords of course the most indubitable testimony, though it only confirms the opinion which Governor Light had previously given in his Despatch dated 15th December last, wherein he states, industry protected and amply rewarded, assure to the people of India the means of acquiring wealth here which they cannot readily obtain in their native land.\" The great expense of conveying labourers from the East to the West Indies, with the condition of providing the means of return, would deter your Memorialists from incurring so heavy a charge except to meet a case of the most urgent necessity, and it will always prevent the possibility of encou- ragement being given to an excessive or too rapid immigration. But such is the lamentable state of the principal West India colonies, that unless a considerable number of labourers be introduced without delay, very many more estates must be abandoned. In the struggle which has hitherto been maintained, numerous proprietors, who previous to emancipation derived large incomes from their estates, have been ruined,-execution as well as private forced sales, are daily taking place, and but for the adventitious circumstance of a great extent of West India property belonging, on being indebted, to persons in this country, who possess the means of supporting it, the aggregate production must have still further declined. Unprofitable cultivation cannot however be continued without an assurance of early relief. And this result must ensue unless such an accession to the working population be speedily obtained, as shall moderate the monopoly of employment now enjoyed by the former slaves, and induce a general disposition on their parts to give steady and effective labour on terms which the value of its produce will justify. \n\nUnder these circumstances, your Memorialists confidently hope that Her Majesty's Government will no longer refuse to concede to the West India colonies the same permission to procure labourers from India, which has been justly accorded to Mauritius, under arrange- ments similar to those that have been adopted in regard to that colony. \n\nYour Memorialists therefore pray that all obstructions to emigration from Sierra Leone, as well of the liberated slaves as of the people who may come there from the adjacent countries, be forthwith removed; that the same facilities be extended to the other British settlements on the West Coast of Africa, and that emigration from the East to the West Indies be henceforth permitted, under such regulations as may be calcu- lated to prevent abuse, and to secure the due protection and comfort of the emigrants. \n\n(Signed) NEILL MALCOLM, Chairman. \n\nNo. 2, \n\nCory of a LETTER from ALEX. GRANT, Esq, to Lord STANLEY. \n\nMy Lord, \n\nWest India Committee Rooms, 60, St. James's-street, July 24, 1843. SINCE I had the honour to transmit to your Lordship, on the 11th instant, a Memorial from the Standing Committee of West India planters and merchants, letters have been communicated to them from a Guiana proprietor, who has been visiting most of the British possessions in the East; and as they contain interesting intelligence relative to the state of labour in those countries, I beg leave to enclose extracts from the same for your Lordship's information. \n\nBy these communications it appears highly probable that, but for the prohibition imposed by the Order in Council of September, 1838, Chinese labourers might be there engaged on reasonable terms to proceed to the West Indies. Considering the well-known character of the Chinese people, the distance they would have to come \n\nCHINESE LABOURERS TO THE WEST INDIES. \n\nand the consequent necessity of entering previously into definite contracts for their own assurance and satisfaction, I submit that, even according to the views which suggested the prohibition in question, there can be no propriety in applying it to them; and I am desired by the Committee to express their hope that your Lord- ship will be induced, in addition to other arrangements for procuring labour to the Colonies, to extend the exception made in favour of the coloured people of North America, by the Order in Council of the 4th January last, to contracts that may be entered into with Chinese labourers at any of the British settlements to the eastward of the Ganges. \n\nBy the copies of agreements which accompany the extracts I have now the honour to transmit, your Lordship will observe that the people who have been engaged at Penang and Sincapore to proceed to Mauritius, have undertaken to repay their passage thither out of their wages. \n\nIt appears to the Committee desirable, as they trust it will to your Lordship, that, as regards the West India Colonies, a bounty should be granted upon the introduction of Chinese labourers, provided the special contracts they may have made shall not exceed two years. \n\nBy this means parties here who are interested in the Colonies might be induced to make immediate arrangements for engaging and conveying a considerable number of these labourers, while they would, before embarkation, be assured of a free passage and of good employment from the moment of their arrival, without any deduction from their wages. On the other hand, the colony granting the bounty would be amply compensated by the contribution of their labour, and their open competition for employment at the end of a short period. \n\n(Signed) \n\nThe Right Hon. Lord Stanley, \n\n&c. \n\n&c. &c. \n\nI have, &c. \n\nALEX. GRANT, Chairman pro tem. \n\nEnclosure in No. 2. \n\nEXTRACT of a Letter, dated Calcutta, 12th May, 1843. \n\nTHE object I have in view in this letter is to draw your attention, and through you that of others, to the Chinese who yearly come down from Amoy to the Straits of Malacca, seeking employment. At Singapore, Malacca, and Prince of Wales Island, there are 100,000 Chinese, and these people are the labouring portion of the community. At Prince of Wales, Isle Pe nang, there are 2,000 acres of land cultivated exclusively by them, and during the heat of the day I have seen them cutting canes, digging canals, carrying canes, &c., and I can state, without hesitation, going through all the work as well as the best picked men (Creoles) would do. The climate is much the same as in British Guiana. The men are strong and powerful, and from infancy accustomed to toil; industrious and eager to acquire money. I have seen all classes of Coolies, and the different tribes of Asia; but nowhere have I seen a people who would suit us and our purposes better. They are, however, more independent than the Coolies, and would, of course, have to be treated in every respect as an English labourer. One thousand have already been shipped to the Mauritius, and answer well. These people come down in the junks in January; they are all about the age of 18 to 30. I have written Mr. Anderson and sent him copies of agreements made with them. Any number may be had, and you may easily pick the number you require. Messrs. Barclay Brothers, of London, engaged Messrs. Brown and Co., of Prince of Wales Island, and Spottiswoode and Connolly, of Singapore, to ship them to their agents at Mauritius. They live on rice and salt fish, and as this is to be had low on the spot, and freights are low, I think they might be landed in Guiana at 10%, to 127. per head. \n\nEXTRACT of Letter, dated Calcutta, May 8, 1843. \n\n\"I AM now desirous of speaking about Chinese labour. From China every year, from 6000 to 8000 men leave for the Straits, seeking labour, and all men from 18 to 24, well made, robust, and active, inured to field labour, and able to work during the heat of the day, in fact, they are equal to our best Creole field labourers; they are eager for gain, and will do anything for money; they are quiet and very intelligent for their class, and not lazy. They value money, are shrewd; and I do think that no class of men can be better adapted to our wants than they are. I have been among them, seen them at work in the cane-fields, cutting and trashing canes, and banking. I have seen them clearing land, digging canals, and no man on Provi- dence could have worked better than this gang of 50 Chinese, and of the year's import. If emigrants are still desired, and if the Emigration chest is not empty, I do think that nowhere shall we find a class of labourers more fitted to our climate and our cultivation, and they are \n\nCHINESE LABOURERS. \n\nEncl in No. 2. \n\n", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-004 - Public Offices & Admiralty - 1843.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 217946, "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": "CO129-004 - Public Offices & Admiralty - 1843", "page_number": 227, "title": "CO129-004 - Public Offices & Admiralty - 1843", "content_text": "\n\nCHINESE LABOURERS. \n\nPAPERS RELATIVE TO EMIGRATION OF \n\nfree from many prejudices; they would marry among our people, and as they enjoy beer when they can get it, eat meat, pork, &c., they would give an impetus to stores; and of their being idle when work and pay are to be had, there is no fear. Should an attempt be made to keep them on lower wages than the current of the day during any apprenticeship, they might have at first to serve, there would be trouble; they would no more bear ill-usage than an English labourer; they perfectly understand, and are submissive in their position. I have seen on this subject several Chinese of the best class, and they tell me that we might procure 5000 and 8000 per annum at Singapore and Penang, or Prince of Wales' Island, and that they would go for wages, and on conditions as per memorandum. January and February are the proper months to procure them, as about this time the junks arrive, and very frequently from 200 to 500 are in one junk as passengers. If you should and our other friends think of trying this class of emigrants, Messrs. Spottiswoode and Connolly, of Singapore, and Messrs. Brown and Co., of Prince of Wales' Island, will furnish you with every information, and can he depended upon; vessels are easily chartered here, and rice and fish, their principal food, is very cheap. For a trial, several who possess adjoining properties should join, as they are fond of company, and until they are in numbers, should not be separated too far from each other. An estate, with a gang of 100 of these, might do away with most of their present independent gentlemen, and with the fresh supplies we could command, British Guiana would in a few years exceed her hitherto largest export. I do not know that I can say more on this subject; I will leave it in your hands entirely, and hope it will at any rate draw attention to the Chinese, if emigration has not taken place from Africa. There is no objection on the English Government's part, for I mentioned the subject to the Governor. About 1000 Chinese are embarked for the Mauritius. As I am on this subject, I may as well state here that the Chinese will expect higher wages than would Coolies, but they are far superior. The best Coolies are from the Madras Presidency, far superior to the Bengalies, more muscular, and stronger built; very good people are also to be had on the Malabar coast at Cochin. \n\nC \n\nMessrs. Barclay Brothers and Co. have had Chinese from Brown and Co., and from Spottiswoode and Connolly for their Mauritius properties.

and by the examples which may be afforded them by their rivals for employment of continuous and industrious application; and, from \n\n2 L \n\nEnel. 3 in No. 3. \n\nNo. 4.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-004 - Public Offices & Admiralty - 1843.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 217948, "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": "CO129-004 - Public Offices & Admiralty - 1843", "page_number": 229, "title": "CO129-004 - Public Offices & Admiralty - 1843", "content_text": "CHINESE LABOURERS. \n\nPAPERS RELATIVE TO EMIGRATION OF \n\nthe well-known character of the Chinese, it is probable that such an effect would be produced to a greater extent by the introduction of the same number of immi- grants of that than of any other nation. \n\nEntertaining these opinions, and deeply anxious for the success of the West India Colonies under a system of freedom, Lord Stanley has directed his unceasing attention to the general removal of restrictions upon the introduction of labour into those colonies;

or with the consideration that if slaves in their own country, they can only be obtained by purchase from, or agreement with, their Chiefs or Headmen; and that such transactions, if permitted, would necessarily lead, if not to the actual evils of slave trading, at least to no unreasonable jealousy and suspicion on the part of foreign states, against the proceedings of whose subjects, in attempts to obtain negroes, this country has directed, and still directs, the most stringent and forcible \n\nmeasures. \n\nIn opposition to this jealousy, it is necessary that Her Majesty's Government should be able, not only to rely upon the great argument that in landing in a British colony negroes arrive in a place where slavery is impossible, but that they should also be able to state that in those cases in which they do permit their exportation, such precautions have been enforced by them as are sufficient to pre- vent the possibility of abuse in the mode in which they have been obtained. \n\nLord Stanley does not think that the present would be a convenient opportunity for reopening the discussion of the details of the plan which has been recently adopted in pursuance of this object to which, as yet, so short a trial has been allowed. \n\nThe case of emigration from Her Majesty's East India possessions, it is true, stands on different grounds. On this head, however, I am directed by Lord Stanley to repeat that, adverting to the difficulties which arose in connexion with the system whien previously in operation, he considers it absolutely necessary, in the interest of the West Indies themselves, carefully to watch the experiment, now in progress, of emigration to the nearer colony of Mauritius. \n\nThe abuses which have to be guarded against, it will be remembered, are not merely those which may exist on the passage or in the colony, but those com- plained of in India itself. The difficulty of preventing these, under any circum- stances, has been strongly urged by those whose local knowledge gives peculiar weight to their opinions; and the test of experience is wanting to prove that their apprehensions may be removed by increased vigilance and new precautions. \n\nThe case of the Chinese, however, on which you particularly address him, is fortunately free from some of the difficulties which exist in the cases of the other two classes of labourers, especially if their places of embarkation be limited to British possessions not on the coast of China-a limitation which, for other (po- litical) causes, at present at all events, Lord Stanley would deem it necessary to impose. Their intelligence, their willingness to work for wages, and their frugal and industrious habits, as well as their capability of supporting the labour of sugar cultivation, combine to point them out as a valuable class of immigrants; while the very circumstance of their having found their way in search of employment by means of a passage, averaging three weeks, to Singapore and other adjacent set- tlements, would be a guarantee at once of their knowing the nature of the pro posals made to them-a question so much disputed in the case of the Coolies-and probably of their ability to endure the effects of the voyage. \n\nThe main objection applicable to this class of emigrants is their being unaccom- panied by women; and this has been, to Lord Stanley's mind, a very serious \n\nCHINESE LABOURERS TO THE WEST INDIES. \n\nobstacle to sanctioning a bounty upon their introduction into the British colonies. \n\nThe same consideration, however, which prevailed with him in the case of Kroomen, viz., that their habits are to leave their country in search of temporary employment, has alone induced him not to consider this objection as insuperable; and I am therefore directed by him to state that he will not refuse to grant, to a limited extent, the permission asked for to introduce them into the West India colonies, according to the scheme which it will be my duty to explain. Before doing so, however, I should observe that, in stating it, I have assumed the altera- tions to have been made in the laws of the different colonies which will be neces- sary to allow it to come into operation; and I may also remark that the state of the law in the Crown Colonies and Legislative Colonies respectively will render necessary a different mode of proceeding in the two cases. \n\nLord Stanley might have been disposed to have made the same provision in the case of Chinese labourers as in that of natives of Africa, had he considered such provisions to be necessary for their protection against fraud, or even as not calculated to create objections and suspicions in their minds. But from the information he has been able to obtain he is led to believe, first, that the Chinese who may be found at the British settlements in the eastern seas, are fully competent to stipulate for what would be most for their own advantage; and also that from their peculiar habits they will not be induced to emigrate at all except under such previous sti- pulations as shall ensure them employment and remuneration according to a certain scale. The only mischief, therefore, against which it appears to Lord Stanley essential to guard is that which was found to operate so prejudicially in the case of the Coolies, namely, the discovery on the part of the labourer after his arrival in the colony that he might have obtained better terms for his labour than those on which he had contracted to give it. \n\nIn order to avoid this evil, there is obviously only one course open, namely, that of permitting the labourer, after his arrival in the colony, to rescind the contract into which he had entered out of it; and this is the course which Lord Stanley proposes to adopt. In doing so, however, it becomes necessary to guard the person at whose expense the labourer may have been introduced against the consequent loss, and on the principle on which immigration at the cost of the colonies has been sanctioned, Lord Stanley considers that such person is clearly entitled to be repaid by the colony in the event of an ablebodied labourer exercising his option on his arrival there of rescinding the contract under which he came. \n\nIn the case of such a labourer rescinding his contract immediately upon his arrival, the arrangement would be a simple one, the person bringing him thereby becoming entitled at once to the full rate of bounty, such rate to be settled in the manner to which I shall have subsequently to advert. \n\nIt is obvious, however, that labourers may be more likely to wish to abandon their contracts after some experience of the colony,than on the first moment of their arrival. Lord Stanley assumes, of course, that whoever brings such labourers will in the contract which he makes with them, engage to give them such a rate of wages only as, compared with the current rates of remuneration for labour in the colony, that in the event of their continuing to work for him for the whole term agreed upon, he will have saved, by the difference, whatever sum may be necessary to cover the expenses of their introduction; and should they have stipulated for a return passage, for the expense of that passage also. Lord Stanley would \n\npropose that the duration of contracts should not exceed five years; and as well in order to admit in the calculation the provision for a back passage, as also with a view to convenience as regards the obligation of the colony, he proposes that any person \n\nhaving imported a Chinese labourer under contract, if such labourer remain in his service for two years and a half, shall be considered to have been repaid the ex- pense of his introduction by the benefits derived by him from the labourer under the contract of service. \n\nIn the case, therefore, of a labourer remaining in the service of the person who brings him for the space of two years and a half, even should he then rescind the contract, Lord Stauley proposes that no bounty should be payable by the colony. \n\nThis, however, still leaves unprovided for the case of a labourer who may not at once on his arrival quit the service of the person who brings him, but may do so before the expiration of two years and a half, this case Lord Stanley proposes to meet by assigning to the person who brought him, instead of the full rate of bounty, \n\n2 L 2 \n\nCHINESE LABOURERS. \n\nDE", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-004 - Public Offices & Admiralty - 1843.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 217950, "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": "CO129-004 - Public Offices & Admiralty - 1843", "page_number": 231, "title": "CO129-004 - Public Offices & Admiralty - 1843", "content_text": "Cous \n\nCHINESE LABOURERS. \n\nPAPERS RELATIVE TO EMIGRATION OF \n\n2. As to the persons who should be permitted to take advantage of the bounty.-- Assuming it to be expedient, as proposed by your Lordship, to limit the permission so to do in the first instance to persons who shall have made special application to the Secretary of State to that effect; yet it does not appear to be necessary to restrict it permanently to such persons, or to those who are interested in West India property. This double limitation, if continued, might prevent emigration from being carried to any beneficial extent, and would aggravate the expense of conducting it. The British settlements in the Eastern Seas are, from their position, the resort of many vessels in quest of freights; and the commanders or agents, in the event of the current rates being low, and Chinese labourers disposed to embark, might be induced by an adequate fixed bounty to prefer a voyage from thence to the West Indies, though that contingency might not have been contemplated at the time of their departure from this country. If it should be found practicable to create a disposition on the part of Chinese labourers to remove to the West India colonies, the cheapest and perhaps the most satisfactory means of effecting their emigration would be by the ships which may convey emigrants to the Australian colonies proceeding afterwards to the Strait's settlements, with their water casks or tanks, and other preparations for passengers, calling at Java to purchase a certain quantity of rice at the source of supply. Although, therefore, some parties, who are suffering severely from the want of labour for their estates, and who are able to undertake the necessary expense and risk, may possibly attempt the commence- ment of emigration from those settlements, under the restriction prescribed by your Lordship, I submit that the permission may be advantageously extended, subject to such regulation as the respective colonies may think fit to impose. \n\n3. Under this head I need only remark that I have no doubt that the Land and Emigration Commissioners will forthwith make satisfactory arrangements. \n\n4. The propriety of ensuring to the labourer the benefit of any contract he may have made, and at the same tine an option of rescinding it after his arrival, is readily admitted. But it seems absolutely necessary, as well for his own interest as that of his employer, that the endurance of his contract, and the periods at which he may be allowed to exercise the option of rescinding it, should be defined. On the one hand, the employer cannot be expected to have houses prepared for immi- grants who may never occupy them; while, on the other, they cannot be competent to form a correct judgment of the new circumstances in which they will be placed until they have resided for a short time in the colony. In order, therefore, to encourage those arrangements which shall conduce to the more comfortable settle- ment of the labourer, and to afford him an opportunity of deciding upon his own experience, or rather to provide that he shall not be able to decide against con- tinuing the benefit of his contract, except from his own observation, it is suggested that the contract should be made obligatory on both parties for six months after the arrival of the labourer, and that he should then, and at the expiration of the follow- ing six months, and of each succeeding year, have the option of continuing or rescinding it. Although the labourer would thus be bound by his original contract for six months, the employer and he might nevertheless enter into a new one during the interval. \n\nWith regard to the other point under this head, the ensuring to the person who brings the labourer a compensation in the form of a full bounty, if the labourer repudiates his contract, I would propose, in accordance with the foregoing suggestion, that the whole amount which may be fixed should be payable by the colony in the event of his doing so at the expiration of six months after his arrival, or a fair pro- portion thereof subsequently, according to the period at which he may act upon the option to terminate his contract, in conformity to the spirit of your Lordship's suggestion. Thus, four-fifths at the end of one year after his arrival, and two-fifths at the end of two years. \n\nThe full amount of the bounty ought also to be payable by the colony to parties who may introduce Chinese labourers without any special contracts. \n\nThe Right Hon.

As regards the mode of fixing the bounty, you are desirous that a fixed and uniform rate of bounty should be substituted for the existing arrangement, which fixes a maximum payment subject to the production of their accounts by the parties claiming it. Lord Stanley will refer this question for the consideration and report of the Laud and Emigration Commissioners. If their information be sufficient to enable them to fix upon a proper rate of bounty, his Lordship would probably entertain no objection to a compliance with your request. \n\n2. As to the persons who should be permitted to take advantage of the bounty,- the question of extending the permission in this respect is one which must be reserved for future consideration. At present Lord Stanley adheres to the resolu- \n\ntion which limits the conduct of the emigration to those who shall have made special application to the Secretary of State. \n\n3. On the subject of contracts, Lord Stanley desires me to state that he has no objection to make the contract binding for six months; but the importer must, at the end of each period, be entitled to a proportionately diminished rate of bounty. He will, for instance, be entitled to claim four-fifths, but not the whole, at the end of the first period, and so on, with a proportionate reduction of one-fifth for each succeeding period of six months. \n\n4. With regard to the payment of bounty in the case of Chinese labourers, introduced without any special contract, I am to state that there will exist no objection to it. \n\nThomson Hankey, Jun., Esq. &c. &c. &c. \n\n(Signed) \n\nI have, &c.

By Sir Robert Peel, who, in his speech on the Bill, observed, \"In the West Indies after abolish the necessity of labour from coercion, you cannot substitute the stimulus to labour from the necessity of procuring subsistence. The labour of a few days is all that is necessary in those countries to procure, not merely the articles of subsistence, but also the articles of luxury. The evidence is conclusive, that so fertile is the land in most of the West Indian islands, that a slave by a very small portion of corporeal exertion indeed can obtain all that is sufficient to maintain existence.\" Your colonies may become wildernesses, but the demand for sugar will continue, and it will be supplied from the colonies of other states; and either those colonies must import fresh slaves, or those they have already must labour still more severely to supply your demand.\" \n\nSo far from any effectual means of procuring a supply of labour in the place of that of which the emancipation deprived the West Indians having been adopted, restrictions have since been actually imposed upon the introduction of labourers from the Indian seas which did not exist at the time when the Act was passed; and thus the sources from which ample supplies of labour could be drawn have been stopped, notwithstanding the urgent and repeated remonstrances of the West Indians, while they have been opened to the Mauritius, a country in no respect more favourable to the labourer. \n\nThe only means that can be relied upon at present for the supply of labour to the West Indies is the small proportion of Africans who are each year captured in slave ships. \n\nThis being the season at which supplies are usually sent to the West Indies, and preparations made for the repairs of buildings, and other necessary expenses, it is of the utmost importance that your Memorialists should know whether Her Majesty's Government will permit free emi- gration of labourers from all parts of the world or not, as if there is no hope of eventually restoring the prosperity of the colonies the universal decision will be, not to go to further expense in continuing a cultivation that \n\nyear after year entails a loss, \n\nYour Memorialists respectfully submit the following considerations to your Lordship: \n\nThat the advantage to immigrate to the West Indies is amply shown by the very favour- \n\nable result of the introduction of Coolies into British Guiana, \n\nThat it is unjust towards those who would willingly carry their labour to the best market, to prevent their doing so, as well as towards the proprietor of land, who would willingly pay for the introduction of labourers; and that the refusal to permit the replacing by free labour of the labour which was annihilated by the Emancipation Act is calculated, by completing the failure of that Act in the result contemplated by its promoters, to cause it to be considered a beacon of warning to be shunned by other nations. instead of a glorious example to be followed by them. \n\nYour Memorialists therefore respectfully entreat that your Lordship will be pleased to take the case into serious consideration, with a view to the removal of all restrictions upon the undoubted right of every free man to carry his labour to the best market, and to permit the free import of labourers from all parts of the world into the West Indies, under such regulations as may appear to your Lordship to be best calculated to prevent abuses. \n\nFor CHARLES S.

I HAVE the honour to acknowledge the receipt of a copy of the letter of the 4th inst., which Mr. Hope, by your Lordship's direction, addressed to Mr. Malcolm relative to the introduction of Chinese labourers into the West India colonies. I shall lose no time in transmitting it to my constituents. \n\nIt would be a subject of great regret to me if any observations made either at the conference or in the written communications to which Mr. Hope refers led your Lordship to doubt that the West India Body were fully sensible of those difficulties with which emigration had to contend, and the anxious and unceasing attention which your Lordship has directed to the removal of such restrictions as were not required by the existence of those difficulties. I should not adequately express my sense of the views entertained by your Lordship on this important subject, and the measures already adopted to carry them into effect, if I did not disclaim any participation in them. \n\nI should have postponed addressing your Lordship on the details of the plan proposed in Mr. Hope's letter until I had heard from my constituents, if I were not aware that a communication will be made to your Lordship on the part of the West India Body here for a material deviation from one of your Lordship's important suggestions. Your Lordship is of opinion that parties claiming bounty should show that the amount decided upon as the maximum or rate had at least been expended, and that they should not be entitled to make any pecuniary profit on the introduction of these labourers. Concurring entirely in the considerations on which your Lordship's opinion proceeded, and being satisfied from my own experience, and that of others, that the parties could have no difficulty in supplying themselves with the requisite proof, I felt myself bound to express my dissent from that part of the communication which urges that no such proof should be required. It is obvious, however, that one uniform rule must be adopted for all the colonies, because if such proof were required on the introduction of labourers into Jamaica, and not upon the introduction of them into the other colonies; the effect of this distinction would operate as a bonus for the introduction of them into those colonies, and as a discouragement of the introduction of them into Jamaica. \n\n2 M \n\nI \n\nCHINESE LABOURERS. \n\nPage 249. \n\nNo. 9. \n\nNo. 10. \n\n", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-004 - Public Offices & Admiralty - 1843.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 217952, "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": "CO129-004 - Public Offices & Admiralty - 1843", "page_number": 233, "title": "CO129-004 - Public Offices & Admiralty - 1843", "content_text": "CHINESE LABOURERS. \n\nNo. 11. \n\nPAPERS RELATIVE TO EMIGRATION OF \n\ntrust, however, your Lordship will not be induced to recede from your opinion that the parties claiming the bounty should show that such amount had been expended. Secoudly. I purposely abstain from entering on the discussion, whether at a future period the claim to bounty should cease to be restricted, as at present pro- posed by your Lordship, to those interested in the West Indian colonies, and who have made special application to the Secretary of State for permission to introduce these labourers. \n\nThe discussion is not only now premature, but must be conducted much less advantageously than at a future period, when it will be assisted by the experience of the working of the present plan. But my principal objection to it is, that this subject belongs more especially to the consideration of the Colonial Legislature. If your Lordship's restriction should be withdrawn, the Colonial Legislature must pledge the colony to defray the expense of immigration to an unlimited extent. If the colony limits the amount applicable to the expenses of immigration, there is the risk that persons may import Chinese labourers on the faith of receiving a bounty, but on their arrival find that the whole sum appropriated by the Legislature has been exhausted by the number who had previously imported. Neither of these evils can arise, if the bounty can be claimed by those only who have obtained the permission of the Secretary of State. \n\nI have stated these objections to the few gentlemen who were present when the communication to your Lordship was the subject of discussion. \n\nOf that number \n\none gentleman only had any interest in Jamaica, which was united, however, with a greater interest in British Guiana. \n\nThere is another point which well deserves consideration by those in the colony who may be enabled to make the provision, if it be practicable, I allude to the possibility of subjecting the party receiving the labourer on his abandonment of his original contract with the importer, to the reimbursement to the colony of some portion of the bounty which the colony has paid the first importer. But that could only be reached by some legislative provision, if it obtained your Lordship's \n\nsanction. \n\nYour Lordship will, I believe, shortly receive an application from Mr. Malcolm for permission to introduce Chinese labourers into Jamaica. \n\nI have, &c. \n\nThe Right Hon.

As regards the mode of fixing the bounty-On this point you dissent from the West India Body, who are desirous that a fixed and uniform rate of bounty should be substituted for the existing arrangement, which fixes a maximum payment subject to the production of their accounts by the parties claiming it. Lord Stanley is, however, inclined to think, on a full consideration of the conflicting opinions and arguments on this subject, that if sufficient information can be obtained to enable Her Majesty's Government to fix upon a proper rate of bounty, there would be no objection to a modification of the rule in this respect. His Lordship pro- poses communicating with the Colonial Land and Emigration Commissioners on the subject. \n\n2. As to the persons who should be permitted to take advantage of the bounty. -The question of extending this permission is one which his Lordship agrees with you, must be reserved for future consideration. Lord Stanley adheres at present to the restriction which limits the conduct of the emigration to those who shall have made special application to the Secretary of State. \n\n3. With respect to your suggestion that the party who receives the labourer after \n\nCHINESE LABOURERS TO THE WEST INDIES. \n\nthe abandonment of his original contract with the importer, should be rendered liable to the colony for the reimbursement of some portion of the bounty paid to the first importer, Lord Stanley desires me to state that he fears this would not admit of being successfully carried out in practice, and that he thinks it will be the best course, on the whole, that the colony should pay for those immigrants whose services are open to general competition. \n\n4, Although the question of contracts is not referred to specifically in your letter, I am to acquaint you that Lord Stanley has intimated to the West India Body, in answer to an application on the subject, that his Lordship has no objection to make the contract with the Chinese labourer binding for six months; but the importer must at the end of each period be entitled to a proportionally diminished rate of bounty. For instance, he will be entitled to claim four-fifths, but not the whole, at the end of the first period, and so on, with a proportionate reduction of one-fifth for each succeeding period of six months. \n\nI have, &c. \n\nJAMES STEPHEN. \n\nW.

We have also the honour to state that at the suggestion of Mr. Matheson, as well as of some of the gentlemen inter- ested on behalf of the West Indies, we addressed some enquiries to Mr. Crawfurd, who is peculiarly qualified to speak to the habits of the population frequenting the China seas. \n\nWe now beg leave to enclose a copy of our queries, and of a paper with which Mr. Crawfurd has been so good as to furnish us in answer, containing a large amount of information on the subject to which his attention was thus requested. We presume that copies of this paper will be supplied to the gentlemen interested in the West Indies, with whom the question originated. \n\nBut having obtained and furnished this information, we propose to abstain from entering into the details of any scheme for carrying on the proposed emigration of Chinese labourers from the Straits of Malacca; for this part of the subject having been under constant discussion at the Colonial Department, and being now nearly advanced to a conclusion, we apprehend that any detached suggestions here would be superfluous, and could only complicate the question. \n\nG.

Is it likely that agricultural labourers could be picked up among the Chinese emigrants, \n\nor does a large proportion of them consist of artizans and small bucksters? \n\n2. Would there be a prospect of meeting in the Straits of Malacca with such labourers of a class who have been used to sugar cultivation? \n\n3. What may be the risk that the Chinese would not be persuaded to work kindly with \n\nnegroes? \n\n4. Women not being exported from China, besides the expense if they were, what weight should be attached to the fear that Chinese labourers would grow dissatisfied when they find themselves in a country where there are no women, either Chinese or Malay, but only those of African race? \n\n5. Might it be expected that they would understand and practically carry out in the sequel an agreement for a fair stoppage of wages to repay the planters the cost of their passage? \n\n6. Would they be likely to stipulate for back passage, which must entail a corresponding abatement of wages, or prefer saving the means of it out of their own earnings? \n\n2 M 2 \n\nCHINESE LABOURERS. \n\nNo. 12. \n\nEnel. 1 in No. 12. \n\n", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-004 - Public Offices & Admiralty - 1843.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 217953, "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": "CO129-004 - Public Offices & Admiralty - 1843", "page_number": 234, "title": "CO129-004 - Public Offices & Admiralty - 1843", "content_text": "\nCHINESE \n\nPAPERS RELATIVE TO EMIGRATION OF \n\nThe Government have resolved that should a Chinese immigration into the West Indies be LABOURERS. permitted, the people should for the present only be hired and shipped at the British settlements \n\nin the Straits of Malacca. \n\nEncl. 2 in No. 12. \n\nIf the colonies would pay the whole expense as a bounty, and leave the labourer quite free after arrival, this would be the simplest course.

I do not think these are fewer than 20,000. These Chinese settlers are not, as represented in the extract of a letter, all from Amoy, that is from the province of Fokein or Hokein; but from this province and that of Cantou, and the great majority from the latter. They were of course chiefly from the maritime ports of these provinces. A good many are from the island of Hainan, a poor but populous place. From the localities from which they issue, a great proportion are boatmen and fisher- and the kind of agricultural labour that the emigrants have been used to in their own country is the rearing of culinary vegetables and the culture of rice. The artizans among them consist in general only of carpenters and blacksmiths. They become hucksters, shop-keepers, and merchants only as colonists, and I fancy few of the emigrants have been of this class in China. Nearly all of them can read and write, and many are expert accountants with the aid of the San-pan. I know one very enterprizing merchant who had been for years a common porter. Having lived handsomely he died the richest man in Singapore. \n\nmen; \n\nChildren and women never leave China, in fact never leave their own localities, even when the men emigrate from one province or district of China to another. All the men are in the prime of life. No man brings capital any more than Irish labourers coming to England. Most of the emigrants come by the junks, and I have known a single junk bring 800. The number of junks which arrived at Singapore (they never go to Penang or Malacca) from the 27th of December to the 20th of April, 1843, and this embraces the whole season, was 111 of 17.000 tons burthen, and they brought 6,391 immigrants. Eighty-eight junks of 14,580 tons had the year before brought 6156 immigrants. Now these junks come from no less than 19 different ports of China, and nearly every one brought passengers, which indeed constitutes the most valuable part of the outward investment. European vessels occasionally bring \n\n16 Chinese immigrants, but the number is inconsiderable. In my time, some \n\nyears ago, the number of junks coming from China was about 12. The great increase has taken place since our occupation of the island in the bay of Amoy. \n\nThe Chinese settlers form matrimonial connexions wherever they go, and whenever they can, and in those countries to which they have been long accustomed to resort, as Java, Siam, and Cochin-China, a very considerable mixed population has been the result. These in the Malay language are called Peranakan, the nearest translation of which, although not quite a correct one, is Creole.\" All the Creoles are brought up as Chinese, and intermarry either with Creoles or genuine Chinese. They are considered as somewhat less industrious than the true Chinese, but over those they have the advantage of knowledge of locality, and the pos- session of two languages. \n\nAt Prince of Wales Island and Singapore there are a few sugar plantations in which the Chinese are the labourers; but to get labourers who will cultivate the cane, manufacture sugar, and distil rum, will not be a matter of the smallest difficulty, for the Chinese may be described as a sort of ambidextrous people who can turn their hands to anything. The provinces from which the immigrants chiefly come, Canton and Fokein, are the chief sugar producing ones of the Chinese empire. Besides this, the large sugar cultivation of Java, of Cochin China, and of the Phillipines, is understood by them. In Siam, and, I suppose, in the other places also, very high wages are occasionally given to foremen skilled in claying sugar, as much as 1000 dollars a-year, that is 2251. In the Straits' settlements generally, the culture of pepper is wholly in their hands; and at Singapore and the Dutch settlements the culture and manufacture of gambir, that is, a kind of terra japonica, which is largely produced for a masticatory among the eastern islanders, and of late years still more largely for exportation to this country to be used for tanning and dyeing. The same may be said of the manufacture of sago in the shape in which this article is now brought into the European market. Indeed, pearl sago was the discovery about twenty-five years ago, of a Chinese of Malacca. Now the cultivation and preparation of every one of these three articles is unknown in China, and they are consequently acquisitions made by the Chinese as colonists. In the same way they have become miners of gold to a large extent in Borneo, and of gold and silver in Tonquin; and both miners and smelters of tin in the Archipelago, of which last article the annual produce is at present probably equal to that of the mines of Cornwall, while it is a good deal better in quality. \n\nFrom the teeming population of China there can then be no difficulty in getting labourers in the prime of life, unencumbered by families, and fit to turn their hands to any employment, and this to any extent. But then comes the most difficult part of the subject; how their ser \n\nCHINESE LABOURERS TO THE WEST INDIES. \n\nvices are to be secured and remunerated. In the \"Extracts of Letters \"* their character is very correctly represented. They are a sober, diligent, industrious, intelligent, and money-loving people, without being a miserly one. From all the inconvenient prejudices of Hindostan they \n\nare wholly free. They like to make money, but they have not the faculty of hoarding it that distinguishes the penurious Hindoo, for they live more comfortably, and, when they can, more luxuriously than any other Asiatic people that I am acquainted with. They must be paid the full value of their labour, or otherwise there will be no making anything of them. In a word, they must be treated with the same consideration as any class of British labourers; if they are not, they become inevitably discontented, disorderly, and roguish. \n\nIn Singapore a Chinese labourer will earn as much as two natives of Coromandel, as three Bengalese, and as four Malays. In my time the wages of a Chinese day labourer, finding everything, used to be about 15 Spanish dollars a month, which, at 4s. 4d. per dollar, is 65s., or 321. 10s. a-year. But the labour market is now far better supplied, and wages are consi- derably lower. I shall suppose that good labourers may now be had at 10 dollars a month, which is equal to 211. 2s. 4d. a-year. Can the West Indian planter pay such wages? By one of the agreements contained in the \"Extracts of Letters,\" I perceive that a Chinese labourer engages to serve for two years at the average wages of 5 dollars a month; this is about 137. s. 4d. But we have to add lodging, suli fish, salt, and 45 lbs. of rice a month, with 20 dollars of passage-money and loss of labour during sickness. But all this is for the Mauritius, and not for Guiana or the West India islands, three times as far from the Straits of Malacca, and where the principal article of subsistence, rice-must be higher priced. \n\nI confess I entertain considerable doubts of the expediency of hiring Chinese labourers for the colonies, on the principle of an apprenticeship. My notion of the Chinese is, that they are industrious and diligent only when they are working for themselves, and see profit in the face at every \n\nhour of their labour. An experience of their character in this respect, hinders them from being employed on fixed daily or monthly wages in the Straits settlements, wherever it can be avoided. The Chinese labourer, who, working on his own behalf, or by job work for another, would earn 15 dollars a-month, I am confident would not produce to an employer 10 dollars a-mouth on day wages. But the experiment has been tried, or is under trial in the Mauritius, with 1000 labourers, and the result will be worth all the opinions on the subject that ever can be given. \n\nThere is another drawback against the employment of the Chinese in the colonies, or at least one that will exist for a number of years,--the want of a common language for commu- nication, and the necessity for employing interpreters. There are two distinct languages spoken by the Chinese ordinary colonists, not mutually intelligible. These are the languages of Canton and Fohkien, and in our courts of justice in the Straits settlements we must have two interpreters. These are always Creole Chinese, and communicate with us through the easy Malay, a language known more or less to all resident foreigners. In the West Indies there can be no such channel of communication, and until the Chinese shall have acquired a smattering of English, as they have at Canton, the expense and incumbrance of interpreters cannot be got rid of. \n\nI perceive by the Extracts of Letters\" that the cost of an emigrant's passage from the Straits of Malacca to Guiana is estimated at about 127., which is about 57 Spanish dollars. Now, to the best of my recollection, the cost of a passage in a Chinese junk from Canton or Amoy, which in the right season is usually made for the one in seven or eight, and from the other in ten or twelve days, is not above five dollars. It is evident therefore that the Guiana planter in some shape or other, must pay the difference. Filial attachment is one of the most laudable qualities of the Chinese; indeed it is a religious and political duty. All those who quit China as emigrants, do so in hopes of returning to their families, and to the tombs of their fore- fathers, although but a small proportion do so. In all the countries in which they have here- tofore settled, they have the easy means of doing this, of hearing from their families, and of remitting funds to them through the junks. Of those facilities they must necessarily be deprived in the West Indies. \n\nThe Commissioners are of course aware that the experiment of Chinese labour was once tried at Trinidad about 30 years ago and failed, but this was during the period of slavery and in war time, when it was impossible that the experiment could have had in any respect a fair trial. Chinese labour was then much higher than it is now, and the means of procuring labourers not comparable to the present. \n\nI \n\nagree entirely with one of the opinions which seems to be implied by the Commissioners in their queries, that by far the most eligible plan will be for the Colonial Governments to take the matter wholly into their own hands, paying the passage money of the emigrants and leaving them on their arrival in the colony at perfect liberty to engage in any kind of labour, and on any terms they think proper. It is not necessary that the whole expenditure made on this account should be sacrificed. Each emigrant before embarkation may be called on to sign a personal bond payable within a reasonable stated time, for reimbursement of at least a portion of the fund advanced for his passage. As to the Government or private parties paying for the return passage, I think such an arrangement, except in very peculiar cases, will be inexpedient. The Chinese will certainly in great numbers, should the project as a labour scheme succeed, settle permanently in the West Indies, and a passage-money of 101. or 12. \n\n* Letters submitted by the West India Committee to Lord Stanley. \n\n† When pepper was extensively cultivated on Prince of Wales Island, the European owner of the land had the forest cleared by contract, and the vines planted by contract, and when the vines came into bearing, the plantation was farmed to the Chinese from year to year, on payment of a specific quantity of pepper. Any other plan would have ruined the capitalist.. \n\nCHINESE LABOURERS. \n\nH", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-004 - Public Offices & Admiralty - 1843.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 217954, "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": "CO129-004 - Public Offices & Admiralty - 1843", "page_number": 235, "title": "CO129-004 - Public Offices & Admiralty - 1843", "content_text": "\nCHINESE LABOURERS. \n\nPAPERS RELATIVE TO EMIGRATION OF \n\nback would only be a premium held out to leave the country and abandon the families they will certainly have. \n\nContracts with private parties for servitude at specified rates, and on the principle of an apprenticeship, will have the appearance of compulsion, while they will also, from their very nature, be unequal as to conditions. Thus in the two contracts respectively from Penang and Singapore for servitude in the Mauritius, I find that one labourer is to have four dollars a month only, and the other five and a half. One man is satisfied with 45 lbs. of rice a month and 6 lbs. of fish, while the other is to eat 60 lbs. of rice and 15 lbs. of fish in the same time. In diet, as in every thing else, the Chinese ought to be left to themselves, and no people in the world know better how to look after their own interests. I repeat, then, that the Chinese immigrants must be left at perfect liberty, and that there are no other means of securing the efficient labour of which they are capable. If in any way constrained they will inevitably defraud their employers, and no people know better how to set about doing this artfully and systematically. \n\nJ.

ADVERTING to a desire which has been expressed by the West India body, that a fixed and uniform rate of bounty on the importation of Chinese labourers into the West Indies should be substituted for the existing arrangement which fixes a maximum payment subject to the production of their accounts by the parties claiming it, I am directed by Lord Stanley to request that you will report to his Lordship whether the information within your reach is such as to enable you to fix upon a proper rate of bounty, and if so, what that rate of bounty should be. \n\nLord Stanley entertains no objection to the proposed alteration of the rule in this respect, provided such a rate of bounty could be fixed as shall be sufficient to cover the expenses which may be actually incurred by the importer, and no more. But will bear in mind, that according to the system proposed to be established \n\nyou for the present, the object is that the importation should be confined to those per- sons who desire to introduce labourers at their own cost, and for their own service; and, consequently, that no inducement ought to be held out in the rate of bounty to mere adventurers to import upon a speculation of deriving profit from the difference between the actual cost and the amount allowed. \n\nI have, &c. \n\n(Signed) \n\nThe Land and Emigration Commissioners, \n\n&c. \n\n&c. \n\n&c. \n\nJAMES STEPHEN. \n\nSir, \n\nCory of a LETTER from the LAND and EMIGRATION COMMISSIONERS to JAMES STEPHEN, Esq. \n\nColonial Land and Emigration Office, \n\n9, Park-street, Westminster, October 14, 1843. WITH reference to your Letters of the 12th ultimo and the 3rd instant, we have the honour to submit the following report on the proposed Chinese Immigra- tion into the West Indies. \n\nHaving procured information from various quarters, and compared it with the data previously existing in this office, and with such estimates as have been tendered to us on behalf of the West India body, we feel justified in recommending, in answer to the second of your letters, the adoption of a fixed bounty of 65 dollars on emigrants from China to the West Indies. \n\nWith regard to the details referred to us in your former letter, we beg leave to submit the following suggestions:-that the conveyance of the emigrants should be regulated by the provisions of the Passengers' Act on colonial voyages; that the length of the voyage be estimated at 18 weeks; that the emigrants require to be possessed of some warm clothing; that the allowance of provisions be fixed by the governor at the place of departure; that a proper officer of his government be directed by him to see that all these requirements are complied with, and to grant a certificate to that effect, without which bounty should not be claimable. \n\nIn recommending the passage to be estimated at 18 weeks, we proceed on enquiries, which we have caused to be made from practical persons on the subject. Upon so long a voyage, and with the ample duration we believe we have assigned to it, it appears to us unnecessary to make any distinction on account of the additional distance to Jamaica. And under this view we have not suggested any difference in the rate of bounty to that island. \n\nWe believe that it is the habit of the Chinese to be provided with warm clothing; but considering from what different parts they come, and that there seems an obvious risk that in going from one tropical country to settle in another, the necessity of taking precautions against the cold in doubling the Cape of Good Hope might be overlooked, a circumstance which we have no doubt might be of fatal consequences to the passengers' health, we have thought it our duty to suggest. that attention should be drawn to the subject. It is not our meaning that the shippers ought to furnish a stock of such clothing, but that merely that before the people's departure is finally approved, it should be seen by the practical officer that they have with them, no matter from what source derived, a reasonable supply of the kind for the passage. The clothing of English emigrants to Australia has been subjected to an inspection of this description. Should it be found desirable to name the description and smallest quantity of warm clothing that could be passed, this could probably be easily done by the local authorities, taking care, however, not to entail any unnecessary expense, nor to maine anything unusual in the country, and difficult to procure. \n\nShould the foregoing suggestions be approved it will remain to draw for the information and guidance of private parties, and to issue instructions on the subject to the authorities in the Straits of Malacca, and to the Governors of the respective West India Colonies. \n\nup \n\nrules \n\nFor the first purpose we have the honour to submit herewith, for Lord Stanley's consideration, a draft of the paper which we would propose to print. \n\nIn the first of the rules it contains we have left in blank the name of the office \n\nat which parties are to apply for permission to import Chinese emigrants, not", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-004 - Public Offices & Admiralty - 1843.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 217956, "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": "CO129-004 - Public Offices & Admiralty - 1843", "page_number": 237, "title": "CO129-004 - Public Offices & Admiralty - 1843", "content_text": "CHINESE LABOURERS. \n\nPAPERS RELATIVE TO EMIGRATION OF \n\nfraud is practised on the latter, or that they are wilfully deceived as to the distance and eir- cumstances of the countries they are going to, or not truly informed of the purport and effect of their contracts, the magistrate will withhold his attestation to the contracts, and the departure of the people will not be approved. \n\nExplanatory Remarks, \n\nSuch being the conditions on which the Government is willing that parties who may desire it should enter on the undertaking of procuring a supply of Chinese emigrants, it is necessary to remark that the complete fulfilment of the scheme is subject to two contingencies, which cannot be determined by executive authority. \n\nFirst, by the existing law of British Guiana and Trinidad, and probably by the next Immi- gration Act in Jamaica, contracts with labourers, made beyond the limits of each colony, will not be binding, The Government undertakes to recommend such a modification of this law as is necessary for the purposes of the present plan, but the result, of course, must rest entirely with the respective legislatures. \n\nSecondly, the payinent of bounty must depend on the existence of sufficient funds lawfully appropriated to the purpose. On this subject the present state of the facts is as follows: In Trinidad a permanent grant of 14,000 per annum has been made for general purposes of immigration. In Jamaica a sum of 30,000% has been placed at the disposal of Government for such purposes for the present year; the provision to be made next year will depend on the Legislature. In British Guiana no more than 30,000 dollars has been appropriated to general purposes of immigration for the year ending 1st July, 1844; but there has been remitted to trustees in England a separate sum of 100,000 dollars applicable to African emigration, of which a comparatively small portion will be found to be wanted for that object. \n\nWithout implying any doubt of the liberality of the respective legislatures, or of their favour- able disposition towards immigration, the object of these remarks is merely to distinguish that which the Government can positively undertake, from that on which it is not competent to offer a pledge, bat can only leave parties to exercise their own judgment. \n\nMEMORANDUM On Superintending the preparations for the Passage of Chinese Emigrants to the West Indies. \n\n1. The officer charged with this duty should bear in mind that the number of passengers admissible, is limited by the size of the deck on which they live, as well as by the tonnage; and that on a voyage of the computed length of that to the West Indies, the whole number of passengers is not to exceed the proportion of one adult for every 15 superficial feet of the deck. 2. There should be a proper cooking apparatus, and a reasonable supply of mess utensils, whether belonging to the passengers, or provided for them, suitable to the habits of the people. \n\n3. The quality of the water is one of the most important circumstances to the health of the passengers. It should be laid in of the purest description that can be obtained, and great attention should be paid to the sweetness and sufficient strength of the casks in which it is carried. If new they should be charred. The casks should be constructed of staves of at least one inch in thickness for the ground tier, and of not less than three-quarters of an inch for the remainder. \n\n4. The due quantity and quality of the provisions should be carefully ascertained, as well as the supply of the medicines and any medical comforts that may be required by the orders of the local authorities. \n\n5. The presence of a duly qualified surgeon is of course one of the most important circum- stances to be attended to; and it would seem desirable that he should examine the emigrants on embarkation, to see that they have no infectious disorder of a dangerous character. \n\n6. The officer will not overlook the particulars provided for in the 5th, 6th, and 7th of the rules published on the present subject, by the Commissioners of Colonial Land and Emi- gration. \n\n7. The ship should be seen to be properly mammed. \n\n8. The condition of the boats required under the 13th clause of the \"Passengers Act,” should be particularly looked to. \n\n9. The decks should not be allowed to be lumbered, but required to be kept duly clear for the working of the ship, and the exercise of the people. All provisions are to be stowed under hatches, and only sufficient water for immediate use, to be allowed on deck. \n\n10. The superintending officer will require to be satisfied on these several points, together with all other requirements of the Passengers' Act, applicable to the subject, before he grants his final certificate of approval. \n\nFORM of Certificate of Approval. \n\nShip \n\nDate, \n\nTons \n\nSize of deck \n\nI hereby certify that \n\nsuperficial feet. \n\nemigrants are proceeding in this vessel, and that she appears to me in every respect sound, seaworthy, and properly manned, and not stowed in any objec- tionable manner; and provided with all things requisite for the sustenance, health, and \"ne- cessary comfort of the above-mentioned number of emigrants during the voyage. \n\n(Signed) \n\nCHINESE LABOURERS TO THE WEST INDIES. \n\nNo. 17. \n\nCOPY of a LETTER from CHARLES CAVE, Esq., to Lord STANLEY. \n\nWest India Committee Rooms, 12, Old Jewry, \n\n19th October, 1843, \n\nMy Lord, \n\nI HAVE the honour to acknowledge the receipt of the letters which Mr. Stephen, by direction of your Lordship, addressed to Mr. Hankey on the 3rd instant, and to Mr. Malcolm on the 7th instant, concerning the arrangement rela- tive to Chinese labourers, proposed in the previous communication made by Mr. Hope to Mr. Malcolm on the 4th ultimo. And, having now had an opportunity of bringing the last-mentioned letter under the consideration of this Committee, I beg leave to advert to the other important subjects to which it refers. \n\nappear \n\ntrust I need hardly assure your Lordship that the West India body most fully appreciate the interest you are pleased to manifest in their behalf; and that as they can have no motive, so they have as little desire, to urge unnecessary claims upon your attention. They have been impelled, by the distressing circumstances in which they are placed, to represent their actual position to your Lordship; and, as it not only remains unimproved, but becomes aggravated by the continued absence of all definite prospect of amendment, they hope to be excused if they should to be importunate in again soliciting the relief which they conceive it is in the power of Her Majesty's Government to afford. While the melancholy truth of their statements cannot be questioned, they regret to observe it is alleged that they do not sufficiently regard either the facilities which have been already granted for introducing labourers into the West India Colonies, or the difficulties opposed to a further advance in the same direction. These allegations have induced this Com- mittee to reconsider attentively the measures connected with immigration which have been adopted by Her Majesty's Government since the period of final emanci- pation; and, as a brief review of them may perhaps lead to a better understanding of their nature, or at least exhibit to your Lordship the estimate formed of them by this Committee, I beg you will now permit me to refer to them in succession. \n\nThe first measure I have to notice is the Order in Council, dated 7th September, 1838, promulgated a few weeks after that event, which, being directly applicable to the Crown Colonies only, was also transmitted in a Circular Despatch to the Governors of the Colonies having Legislative Assemblies, \"to serve as a guide to them in giving or withholding their assent to any laws which might be tendered for their acceptance.\" By it all \"contracts of service\" were prohibited with any persons, except those who were already settled in the Colonies; and consequently all immigration was likewise prohibited, inasmuch as labourers could not remove from distant countries at their own charge, and proprietors could not undertake the expense of conveying them without having some assurance of their service. As there could be no doubt that a very considerable number of the emancipated slaves would withdraw, wholly or partially, from the cultivation in which they had been engaged, and that it could not possibly be sustained without the introduction of other labourers, this Order in Council, by conferring exclusive employment on those who were disposed to work for wages, was tantamount to a transfer in their favour of the produce of the estates. Such has been almost universally its effect, except in the more populous islands. The abject dependence to which the pro- prietors were thus reduced, has already ruined numerous families who formerly enjoyed affluence; many others still struggle, though with little hope, to retain pos- session of estates from which they had long been accustomed to derive ample incomes; and from those who are able to make the sacrifice, a large outlay has been annually exacted to prevent their lands from becoming waste, and their fixed capital useless. \n\nThe next measure touching contracts which this Committee find on record is an Order in Council, dated 9th December, 1841, abrogating the preceding one in so far as it affected contracts made in Europe; so that the people of this country were no longer prohibited, as they had been during the two years previously, from en- tering into such engagements as they might deem advantageous. \n\nA further modification was made by an Order in Council, dated 4th January, 1843, granting permission to make agreements with the free people of North America; but it is still ineffective, in consequence of the officers it requires to be appointed for its execution not having been yet nominated. \n\nHer Majesty's Government likewise declared, by an Order in Council, dated \n\n2 N 2 \n\nCHINESE' LABOURERS. \n\nNo. 17. \n\n", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-004 - Public Offices & Admiralty - 1843.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 217957, "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": "CO129-004 - Public Offices & Admiralty - 1843", "page_number": 238, "title": "CO129-004 - Public Offices & Admiralty - 1843", "content_text": "Cou \n\nCHINESE LABOURERS. \n\nPAPERS RELATIVE TO EMIGRATION OF \n\n8th December, 1840, that emigrants might be conveyed from Sierra Leone to Trinidad,-which permission was soon afterwards extended to Jamaica and Guiana, -and there landed, free from any obligation whatever, at the charge of the Colonial revenues; and in the month of February last the plan for superintending this emigration which is now in force was adopted. Two Ordinances, passed in Trinidad, providing for immigration into that island from the adjacent Colonies and North America, had previously been allowed; but these hardly belong to a category of Acts connected with immigration into the West India Colonies from foreign countries. \n\nThe Order in Council removing the prohibition against contracts mrde in Europe could not, of course, have any sensible effect on field-labour in the West Indies. \n\nThat which relates to the United States, if it should come into operation, cannot be expected, considering the wages prevalent there, to produce a material supply of agricultural labourers. \n\nThe concessions with respect to emigration from Sierra Leone have been ren- dered in a great measure nugatory by the conditions which accompanied them, as well as from other causes. \n\nAnd with regard to the arrangement now under consideration for permitting the introduction of a limited number of Chinese, to which your Lordship has devoted so inuch attention, no definite expectation can be formed until the terms be finally settled, though it is hoped that it may eventually prove successful. \n\nThe West India body have no disposition to undervalue any of the measures I have here had occasion to enumerate, but it is evident they have not yet produced much practical benefit; and they regard all the facilities which these measures may afford as only partial relaxations of the grievous restriction previously enacted, on the 7th September, 1838, to their disadvantage. \n\nThe state of society in Africa has long been a subject of interesting inquiry to the members of this Committee, with the view of ascertaining how emigration might be conducted without just objection; and, although they have anxiously endea- voured to obtain correct information, as well with regard to the independent countries of Africa as the British settlements there, they are certainly not impressed with the difficulties which have occurred to your Lordship. Nor can they recognise in the possible jealousy of some foreign states an adequate reason for the disabilities imposed upon them. Any representations on the part of those states are probably designed, either to establish a justification of their own conduct in permitting the continuance of the slave trade, or to impede the progress of free emigration, which they knew would be the best means of suppressing it. But, seeing that British subjects are effectually precluded from every kind and degree of participation in that traffic by the most stringent laws which it is possible to devise; that it is certain no slave can be found within any British possession in Africa, mere presence there being sufficient proof of freedom; that no person can be removed against his will; that natives of Africa embarking for the West India colonies must, during the voyage and after their arrival, be treated in every respect like natives of Britain; Her Majesty's Government may well disregard alleged suspicion, and trust to an exposition of these facts for a complete refutation of every charge which ignorance or selfishness may suggest, without seeking to have a further appeal to needless restrictions on emigration. Referring only to the evidence presented to Parliament in August last year by the West Africa Committee, I submit that we are not entitled to assume that persons in the condition of free labourers cannot be found in the independent countries of Africa. But it is unnecessary for me to enter into a particular argument on this question, because it is not my purpose to assert that emigration from Africa should not be subjected to regulation, or that the West India body desire to countenance any trans- actions respecting beyond the direct control of Her Majesty's Government. It is at the same time their settled conviction that very simple instructions to superintending officers at each station would preclude the possibility of abuse, whether as regards contracts or free emigration ; and, on the other hand, that every observance required from the African which can produce a want of confidence in his mind, will have the same effect as the complicated system now in force at Sierra Leone. The difference between prohibition and needful regulation, indeed, consti- tutes the basis of all the complaints which the West India body have to make on the subject of labour. In order to prevent improper contracts from being made out of the Colonies, it was not necessary to have recourse to absolute prohibition. There could be no difficulty in describing the terms of reasonable service, or in providing \n\nCHINESE LABOURERS TO THE WEST INDIES. \n\nCHINESE \n\nfor the full explanation and open execution of contracts before competent authori- ties. In order to protect the people of Africa from being forcibly removed, it was LABOURERS. not necessary to prohibit them, as they practically are, from coming to the British settlements for the purpose of emigrating, under superintendence which would ensure the absence of all restraint. That there are in the vicinity, or within access, of these possessions whole tribes in a state of freedom, is proved by the evidence already cited, while the doubtful or ill-defined vassalage of others is equally mani- fest. There is, moreover, a peculiar consideration affecting the introduction of labourers into the West India colonies. From whatever part of Africa or India immigrants may be brought, they cannot fail to have opportunities of improving their condition, as well as of receiving instruction, which they do not there possess. With regard to Sierra Leone, in particular, the West Africa Committee have recorded their opinion to be,\" that it would be well for the African, in every point of view, to find himself a free labourer in the free British West India colonies, enjoying there, as he would, higher advantages of every kind than have fallen to the lot of the negro race in any other portion of the globe.\" This being the declared result of a minute investigation into the state of that settlement, where the liberated captives have long enjoyed the protection and fostering care of the British Govern- ment, there can be no doubt that the judgment of the Committee is still more appli- cable to every other district of Western Africa. \n\nWith regard to emigration from Her Majesty's East India possessions, it is with the deepest regret and disappointment the West India body have learnt that your Lordship still entertains an apprehension of abuses, which are nevertheless only possible if the existing laws are allowed to be violated with impunity. Those to whom the local government of India is entrusted cannot allege that abuse-by which, I presume, is meant forcible or fraudulent deportation-may not be pre- vented under their jurisdiction, without at the same time confessing their inability, in any circumstances, to ensure personal protection to Her Majesty's Indian sub- jects, a proposition which I trust cannot be maintained. It was confidently supposed that your Lordship was perfectly satisfied in this respect, when Her Majesty's Government determined to repeal, in favour of Mauritius, the pro- hibitory Indian Act (xiv. 1839), which had been passed in pursuance of instruc- tions from this country, \"pending the full investigation of the subject,\" and accordingly issued the Order in Council, dated 15th January, 1842; for it is difficult to perceive how there can be greater risk of abuse in reference to emigrants einbarking for Jamaica, or other West India colonies, rather than Mau- ritius, to which island nearly 10,000 have proceeded during the present year. With regard to the passage from India, as all the regulations concerning it are prescribed by the Passengers' Act, which makes the same provision for the com- fortable accommodation and conveyance of emigrants, whether from the United Kingdom or Her Majesty's possessions abroad, no abuse can be considered as pos- sible without also supposing that the Act may, in other cases, be found equally inefficient for its purpose. What infringement on the rights of Her Majesty's sub- jects can be contemplated as being more likely now to occur in the West India colonies than in the mother country I am unable to conceive. Without offering any opinion on this point, or on the comparative condition of the people in the East and West Indies, I beg leave to quote the testimony of Sir Charles Met- calfe, who long resided and governed in India, as contained in his Despatch to your Lordship, dated Jamaica, 1st November, 1841, wherein he states, \"With respect to the labouring population, formerly slaves, but now perfectly free, and more independent than the same class in other free countries, I'venture to say that in no country in the world can the labouring population be more abundantly pro- vided with the necessaries and comforts of life, more at their ease, or more secure from oppression, than in Jamaica; and I may add that ministers of the gospel for the religious instruction, and schools for the education of their children, are esta- blished in all parts of the island, with a tendency to constant increase.\" Considering these circumstances, the West India body cannot concur with your Lordship in thinking that their interests will in any way be consulted by the continuance of a prohibition which they have always deemed to be unnecessary, or that any further experience is required to prove that its immediate repeal would be an act of just policy; and they earnestly hope that your Lordship will be induced to abandon what Mr. Grant, the late Under Secretary of the Bengal Government, describes as \"the strange and servile restriction imposed on the liberty and means of livelihood \n\n", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-004 - Public Offices & Admiralty - 1843.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 217958, "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": "CO129-004 - Public Offices & Admiralty - 1843", "page_number": 239, "title": "CO129-004 - Public Offices & Admiralty - 1843", "content_text": "CHINESE LABOURERS. \n\nNo. 18. \n\nPAPERS RELATIVE TO EMIGRATION OF \n\nof the people of India,\" and give your sanction to that free intercourse which ought to subsist between all parts of Her Majesty's dominions. \n\nThe view which your Lordship continues to take in regard to the effect of any immigration it is possible to carry into operation being greatly over-rated by parties interested in the cultivation of sugar, implies doubt both with respect to the possi- bility of finding a sufficient number of willing emigrants, and of providing the funds requisite for their conveyance. After the most deferential consideration of this opinion, the West India body do not see reason to entertain any doubt upon either of these points, if free intercourse were permitted. Agreeing with your Lordship as to the important moral effect which may be produced by even a limited immigra- tion, they have not confined their expectations of relief to any definite addition to the agricultural population. They have always contemplated the general influence of a continuous immigration as the principal means to which they could trust for restoring beneficial cultivation, and they conceive that desirable object might be speedily attained. But for the prohibitions laid upon proprietors, it would probably have been already accomplished by their individual exertions; and still more cer- tainly if a system of immigration, combining limited contracts and modified bounties, had been early adopted. The only colony in the West Indies which has received a regular influx of suitable immigrants, though they have come chiefly from the other islands, is Trinidad, and there the consequences have been remarkable, The decline of the cultivation has never been nearly so great as in Jamaica or Guiana; and according to the progressive accession of labourers has been the progressive restora- tion of production. As regards the expense of procuring this accession, it will be found that the colony has actually received in augmented revenue alone, arising from duties on exports and imports attributable to the immigrants, more than the amount of bounties paid for those whose labour can be included in the estimate. It is nevertheless true that Trinidid still suffers severely from an insufficiency of labour. The first effect of immigration is, of course, to stay decline; but, even after it has been extensive enough to cause a partial recovery, the expense of cultivation \n\nmay, as in this case, absorb all the produce, and no clear income can be expected to accrue until the available population and fixed capital shall be brought into just proportion, and competition for employment made to take the place of competition for labour. In Mauritius, the only colony to which emigration from India has been again per- mitted, this transition seems about to be completed, and confidence restored. \n\nThe West India body never imagined that the social revolution from which they have so grievously suffered could be accomplished without inconvenience; but they confidently trusted that the influence of Her Majesty's Government would be vigo- rously exerted to preserve the value of their property; that not only would the eman- cipated slaves be encouraged, by all practicable means, to apply themselves to the cul- tivation of the staple products of the colonies, but that every possible facility would be accorded for the purpose of obtaining substitutes for those who might withdraw from field-labour, or engage in other occupations. \n\nAlthough this reasonable expectation has been hitherto disappointed, and the object which it was the undoubted wish of your Lordship to effect has not yet been attained, they would fain hope that redress will no longer be withheld; and that your Lordship, as the public guardian of their interests, will at length enable them to realize the promised benefits of freedom, and thus avert the disastrous conse quences which must otherwise ensue. \n\nI have, &c. \n\nThe Right Hon.

America has been rendered ineffective, in consequence of the officers to be appointed for its execution not having been nominated, am to inform you that on the 1st of LABOURERS. March last Lord Stanley addressed Despatches to the Governors of Canada, Nova Scotia, and New Brunswick, directing them to appoint one or more members of their governments to grant certificates to the parties applying for them, on pay- ment of a small fee. Although no official notification has been received of the appointment of these officers, Lord Stanley cannot doubt but that had application been made to the respective governments in those colonies, no difficulty would have been experienced by any parties in obtaining the necessary certificate. I am further directed to express Lord Stanley's regret that the perusal of the evidence taken before the West African Committee has left upon his mind an impression directly opposed to the conclusions you draw from it, as to the degree of freedom possessed by the lower class of Africans in the native states, and the practicability of carrying on, from thence, a bond fida free emigration. \n\nLord Stanley further regrets to learn that, notwithstanding the caution by which the first announcement of the permission of Coolie immigration into the Mauritius was accompanied, as well as the frequent explanations and repetitions of the state- ment then made that the step was to be considered experimental only, he has been unsuccessful in guarding Her Majesty's Government against the inference that all restrictions, as regards the West Indies, ought to be removed at once, and without even awaiting the result of the experiment in progress in the much less difficult case of Mauritius. \n\nCharles Cave, Esq. &c. &c. \n\nNo. 19. \n\nI am, &c. \n\nG.

As they cannot doubt that your Lordship is sincerely disposed to promote the prosperity of the West India Colonies, and that you must feel an especial interest in the complete success of emancipation, it seems to this Committee impos- sible that Her Majesty's Government can be fully acquainted with their real condi- tion, and yet continue to withhold the only remedial measures by which these objects may be attained, especially as, if they were even now granted a consi- derable time must necessarily elapse before they could become effective. The West India body are indeed aware, from the Despatches published by the Colonial Department, that some years ago (as particularly shown by one addressed on the 15th of February, 1840, to the Governor of Guiana,) the great decline in the production of sugar, and even the possibility of its utter extinction, were regarded with indifference, if not with complacency; and that it was deemed a secondary question\" \"how to maintain the natural prosperity of our West India Colonies, promote the cultivation of products for which the climate is adapted, and keep up, if not increase, the consumption of British manufactures.” They have also observed that certain Governors and other functionaries, thus countenanced, and concerned also to make their own administration appear suc- cessful, have constantly reported the colonies in which they are placed as being in a state of prosperity, though it was notorious that their cultivation was sustained at a great sacrifice. While these opinions prevailed with Her Majesty's Govern- ment, it was impossible to expect that any measures comprehending the interests of all classes, proprietors as well as labourers-should be considered without prejudice. But this Committee cannot ascribe to your Lordship sentiments so much at variance with the views expounded in your Despatch to the Governor \n\nNo. 19.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-004 - Public Offices & Admiralty - 1843.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 217960, "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": "CO129-004 - Public Offices & Admiralty - 1843", "page_number": 241, "title": "CO129-004 - Public Offices & Admiralty - 1843", "content_text": "Four \n\n... \n\nCHINESE LABOURERS. \n\nPAPERS RELATIVE TO EMIGRATION OF \n\nGovernor DOHERTY's Report, in Appendix to Report of West Africa Committee, page 367. \n\n\"With reference to this subject, I made inquiry before leaving Sierra Leone as to the degree of property possessed by the chiefs in the persons or services of their subjects, and the compensation they would be likely to claim in consequence, in the event of the people emi- grating; but the statements made to me were so contradictory, that I could arrive at no con- clusion. \n\n\"The chiefs near Sierra Leone, having always shown an earnest desire to have their chil- dren and subjects educated, not only in school-learning, but in handicrafts and cultivation of the soil, would willingly, I think, consent to a body of their people proceeding to the West Indies, to be taught the cultivation of coffee and other tropical productions, on the condition of their return within four or five years.

But we have ex- plained the grounds on which, as referees on the point, we do not see how we could suggest a \n\nhigher rate of bounty than that which was universally agreed to before it was announced, and which has since been voluntarily acted on by those who are best qualified to judge of it, and who will be the losers should it prove insufficient. \n\nThe other rule against rendering advances of money in China repayable after arrival, was inserted in accordance with a general principle, from which we under- stood that Lord Stanley would admit of no departure. On this point also we can only now leave Mr. Davis's representation for the decision of the Secretary of State. \n\nWe have, &c. (Signed) T. FREDERICK ELLIOT. \n\nJOHN G.

There would still be a graduated scale of bounty, as at present, but commencing from the end of six months instead of from the day of landing. \n\nAnother point to which our attention has been requested is the inconvenience and the unsettling effect of making the agreements terminable at such short successive intervals as six months. We think that, in the first instance, the labourers should not be bound for more than half a year; but after that time it will probably be deemed not unreasonable that the agreements might be allowed to run for successive periods of twelve instead of six months. \n\nIn order to place the practical effect of these views in a clearer light, we take the liberty of appending, for consideration, the sketch of a memorandum which might serve to convey the proposed alterations to the West India body, or any individuals who have hitherto taken an interest in the subject. \n\nWe have, &c. \n\nJames Stephen, Esq., &c. &c. \n\n(Signed) \n\nT.

SHAW LEFEVRE. \n\nEnclosure in No. 31. \n\n9, Park-street, Westminster, \n\nNovember 27, 1843. \n\nEncl. in No. 31. \n\nNo. 31. \n\nNo. 31. \n\nCOPY of a LETTER from the COLONIAL LAND and EMIGRATION COMMISSIONERS to JAMES STEPHEN, Esq. \n\nSir, \n\nColonial Land and Emigration Office, November 24, 1843. \n\nIn another report, of this day's date, we have adverted to the grounds on which the bounty of 65 dollars was named to cover the importation of Chinese emigrants into the West Indies. Several parties, as Lord Stanley is aware, have sent, under those terms, for Chinese labourers if they can be procured without con- tracts; but none, it appears, have sent for them with contracts. And yet it is feared that, unless under actual engagement, the labourers will not embark at all, and so the entire experiment fail for this season. It seems worth while, therefore, to inquire whether, whatever may be the proper amount of bounty on merely importing labourers, some further means may not be found of indemnifying those who are obliged to incur the additional expense, risk, and anxiety which must attach to introducing them under contract. \n\nOn this subject we believe that the principal objection is felt to the rule which abates the bounty one-fifth for the first six months the labourers remain with their employers. It has been represented to us that, while the importer without con- tracts only runs the risk of such mortality as may unavoidably happen on the voyage, the other party loses the whole cost of passage on such emigrants as may die at any time during the six months afterwards. He is also exposed to the loss of services by any sickness during that period, being precisely the one when newly- imported labourers must be most liable to that misfortune. There may be supposed to be some expense in the houses and provision-grounds which employers would prepare, in order to make their people comfortable and induce them to remain. \n\nTHE Secretary of State having seen reason to consider that additional expense and risk must be thrown upon parties who may find it necessary to procure Chinese labourers with instead of without contracts, and therefore that the same bounty which may be a proper indemnity for one proceeding would not compensate the other, has thought it advisable to modify, in the following particulars, the rules announced on this subject in a notice from the Commissioners of Laud and Emigration, dated the 27th of October last:- \n\n1st. Instead of an abatement of one-fifth of bounty for every six months the labourer may remain with his employer, no abatement will be made for the first six months; and the whole bounty will be paid on such labourers under contract as may rescind their contracts at the end of that period. \n\n2ndly. The successive abatements afterwards will reckon from the end of the first six months instead of from the date of landing. \n\n3rdly. Considering the inconvenience that may attend too frequent liabilities to a termination of engagements, the following rule is substituted for the sixteenth of the former rules on bounty: -The contracts must not be for any longer time of service in the colony than five years; and must contain a proviso that it shall be competent to the labourer, upon making one month's vious declaration to that effect, before a stipendiary magistrate, to terminate the contract at the pre- end of the first six months in the colony, and of every succeeding period of either six or twelve months, as the contracting parties may insert in the agreement. The magistrates will have suitable instructions to apprize employers of any such declarations. \n\n4thly. Bounty will continue, as before, to be payable only on labourers who rescind their contracts at the respective periods, and not upou any who may die pending the contracts. \n\nBy order of the Board, \n\n------, Secretary. \n\nNo. 32. \n\nCOPY of a LETTER from JAMES STEPHEN, Esq. to the COLONIAL LAND and EMIGRATION COMMISSIONERS.

It excludes all moisture, noxious vapours from drains, rats and vermin of all sorts; it affords a dry warm footing, and is in appear- \n\nance neater than stone. \n\n2ndly.

For roofs it is superior to any thing hitherto introduced, and on flat roofs a tank can be made to contain rain water. \n\n4thly. For water-tanks, the river fronts of wharfs, &c. or on the tops of walls or any brickwork, a coating of Bitumen serves all purposes to which lead, stone, and cement are now applied, with far greater effect and at much less cost. Brickwork cemented with Bitumen instead of mortar is impervious to wet, far more solid, and for \n\nthe same reasons infinitely more durable, and in wet or damp situations its use in this way tends to the comfort and durability of houses in an inconceivable degree. \n\n5thly.

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.

Be it therefore enacted and ordained by His Excellency the Governor of Hongkong, with the advice of the Legislative Council thereof, for the several purposes aforesaid, that the said Ordinance No. 16 of the year 1844 be hereby repealed and that there be established in some convenient locality in Victoria an office to be entitled “The Census and Registration Office,” and that the duties and business of this office be discharged by a Registrar and such other officers and assistants, and at such salaries as the Governor in Council may be pleased to appoint subject to Her Majesty's pleasure.\n\n2.

Pilots. \n\nWHENEVER a British merchantman shall arrive off any of the five ports opened to trade, viz., Canton, Foochowfoo, Amoy, Ningpo, or Shanghai, pilots shall be allowed to take her immediately into port; and, in like manner, when such British ship shall have settled all legal duties and charges, and is about to return home, pilots shall be immediately granted to take her out to sea, without any stoppage or delay. \n\nRegarding the remuneration to be given these pilots, that will be equitably settled by the British Consul appointed to each particular port, who will determine it with due reference to the distance gone over, the risk run, &c. \n\nII. Custom-house Guards. \n\nThe Chinese Superintendent of Customs at each port will adopt the means that he may judge most proper to prevent the revenue suffering by fraud or smuggling. Whenever the pilot shall have brought any British merchantman into port, the Superintendent of Customs will depute one or two trusty Custom-house officers, whose duty it will be to watch against frauds on the revenue. These will either live in a boat of their own, or stay on board the English ship, as may best suit their convenience. Their food and expenses will be supplied them from day to day from the Custom-house, and they may not exact any fees whatever from either the Commander or Consignee. Should they violate this regulation, they shall be punished porportionately to the amount so exacted. \n\nHII. Masters of Ships reporting themselves on arrival. \n\nWhenever a British vessel shall have cast anchor at any one of the above-mentioned ports, the Captain will, within four and twenty hours after arrival, proceed to the British Consulate, and deposit his ship's papers, bills of lading, manifest, &c., in the hands of the Consul; failing to do which, he will subject himself to a penalty of two hundred dollars. \n\nFor presenting a false manifest, the penalty will be five hundred dollars. \n\nFor breaking bulk and commencing to discharge, before due per- mission shall be obtained, the penalty will be five hundred dollars, and confiscation of the goods so discharged. \n\nThe Consul, having taken possession of the ship's papers, will imme- diately send a written communication to the Superintendent of Customs, specifying the register tonnage of the ship, and the particulars of the cargo she has on board; all of which being done in due form, permission will then be given to discharge, and the duties levied as provided for in the Tariff, \n\nIV. Commercial Dealings between English and Chinese Merchants. \n\nIt having been stipulated that English merchants may trade with whatever native merchants they please,-should any Chinese merchant fraudulently abscond or incur debts which he is unable to discharge, the Chinese authorities, upon complaint being made thereof, will of course do their utmost to bring the offender to justice; it must, however, be distinctly understood, that if the defaulter really cannot be found, or be dead, or bankrupt, and there be not wherewithal to pay, the English merchants may not appeal to the former custom of the Hong Merchants paying for one another, and can no longer expect to have their losses made good to them. \n\nV. Tonnage Dues, \n\nEvery English merchantman, on entering any one of the above-men- tioned five ports, shall pay tonnage-dues at the rate of five mace per register-ton, in full of all charges. The fees formerly levied on entry and departure, of every description, are henceforth abolished. \n\nVI. Import and Export Duties. \n\nGoods, whether imported into, or exported from, any one of the above-mentioned five ports, are henceforward to be taxed according to the Tariff as now fixed and agreed upon, and no further sums are to be levied beyond those which are specified in the Tariff; all duties incurred by an English merchant-vessel, whether on goods imported or exported, or in the shape of tonnage-dues, must first be paid up in full; which done, the Superintendent of Customs will grant a port-clearance, and this being shown to the British Consul, he will thereupon return the ship's papers, and permit the vessel to depart, \n\nVII. Examination of Goods at the Custom-house. \n\nEvery English merchant, having cargo to load or discharge, must give due intimation thereof, and hand particulars of the same to the Consul, who will immediately dispatch a recognized linguist of his own establishment to communicate the particulars to the Superintendent of Customs, that the goods may be duly examined, and neither party sub- jected to loss. The English merchant must also have a properly qualified person on the spot to attend to his interests when his goods are being examined for duty, otherwise, should there be complaints, these cannot be attended to. \n\nRegarding such goods as are subject by the Tariff to an ad valorem duty, if the English merchant cannot agree with the Chinese officer in fixing a value, then each party shall call two or three merchants to look at the goods, and the highest price at which any of these merchants would be willing to purchase, shall be assumed as the value of the goods. \n\nTo fix the tare on any article, such as tea; if the English merchant cannot agree with the Custom-house officer, then each party shall choose so many chests out of every hundred, which being first weighed in gross, shall afterwards be tared, and the average tare upon these chests shall be assumed as the tare upon the whole; and upon this principle shall the tare be fixed upon all other goods in packages. \n\nIf there should still be any disputed points which cannot be settled, the English merchant may appeal to the Consul, who will communicate the particulars of the case to the Superintendent of Customs, that it may be equitably arranged. But the appeal must be made on the same day, or it will not be regarded.

It is accordingly determined that ground and houses, the rent or price of which is to be fairly and equitably arranged for, according to the rates prevailing amongst the people, without exaction on either side, shall be set apart by the local officers, in cominu- nication with the Consul, and the number of houses built, or rented, will be reported annually to the said local officers by the Consul, for the information of their respective Viceroys and Governors; but the number cannot be limited, seeing that it will be greater or less, according to the resort of merchants. \n\nARTICLE VIII. \n\nThe Emperor of China having been graciously pleased to grant to all foreign countries whose subjects or citizens have hitherto traded at Canton, the privilege of resorting for purposes of trade to the other four ports of Foochow, Amoy, Ningpo, and Shanghai, on the same terms as the English, it is further agreed, that should the Emperor hereafter, from any cause whatever, be pleased to grant additional privileges or immunities to any of the subjects or citizens of such foreign countries, the same privileges and immunities will be extended to, and enjoyed by, British subjects; but it is to be understood, that demands or requests are not on this plea to be unnecessarily brought forward. \n\nARTICLE IX: \n\nIf lawless natives of China, having committed crimes or offences against their own Government, shall flee to Hong-Kong, or to the English ships of war, \n\nor English merchant-ships, for refuge, they shall, if discovered by the English officers, be handed over at once to the Chinese officers for trial and punishment; or if, before such discovery be made by the English officers, it should be ascer- tained or suspected by the officers of the Government of China whither such criminals and offenders have fled, a communication shall be made to the proper English officer, in order that the said criminals and offenders may be rigidly searched for, seized, and, on proof or admission of their guilt, delivered up. In like manner, if any soldier or sailor, or any other person, whatever his caste or country, who is a subject of the Crown of England, shall, from any cause or on any pretence, desert, fly, or escape into the Chinese territory, such soldier or sailor, or other person, shall be apprehended and confined by the Chinese Autho- rities, and sent to the nearest British Consular or other Government officer. In neither case shall concealment or refuge be afforded. \n\nARTICLE X. \n\nAt each of the five ports to be opened to British merchants, one English cruizer will be stationed to enforce good order and discipline amongst the crews of merchant shipping, and to support the necessary authority of the Consul over British subjects. The crew of such ship of war will be carefully restrained by the officer commanding the vessel, and they will be subject to all the rules regarding going on shore and straying into the country, that are already laid down for the crews of merchant-vessels. Whenever it may be necessary to relieve such ships of war by another, intimation of that intention will be commnu- nicated by the Consul, or by the British Superintendent of Trade, where circumstances will permit, to the local Chinese Authorities, lest the appearance of an additional ship should excite misgivings amongst the people; and the Chinese cruizers are to offer no hindrance to such relieving ship, nor is she to be con- sidered liable to any port-charges, or other rules laid down in the General Regulations of Trade, seeing that British ships of war never trade in any shape. \n\nARTICLE XI. \n\nThe posts of Chusan and Koolangsoo will be withdrawn, as provided for in the Treaty of perpetual Peace and Friendship, the moment all the monies stipu- lated for in that Treaty shall be paid, and the British Plenipotentiary distinctly and voluntarily agrees, that all dwelling-bouses, store-houses, barracks, and other buildings that the British troops or people may have occupied, or intermediately built or repaired, shall be handed over, on the evacuation of the posts, exactly as they stand, to the Chinese Authorities, so as to prevent any pretence for delay, or the slightest occasion for discussion or dispute on those points. \n\nARTICLE XII. \n\nA fair and regular Tariff of duties and other dues having now been established, it is to be hoped that the system of smuggling which has hereto- fore been carried on between English and Chinese merchants-in many cases with the open connivance and collusion of the Chinese Custom-house officers- will entirely cease; and the most peremptory Proclamation to all English mer- chants has been already issued on this subject by the British Plenipotentiary, who will also instruct the different Consuls to strictly watch over, and carefully scrutinize, the conduct of all persons, being British subjects, trading under his superintendence. In any positive instance of smuggling transactions coming to the Consul's knowledge, he will instantly apprize the Chinese Authorities of the fact, and they will proceed to seize and confiscate all goods, whatever their value or nature, that may have been so smuggled, and will also be at liberty, if they see fit, to prohibit the ship from which the smuggled goods were landed, from trading further, and to send her away, as soon as her accounts are adjusted and paid. The Chinese Government officers will, at the same time, adopt what- ever measures they may think fit with regard to the Chinese merchants and Custom-house officers, who may be discovered to be concerned in smuggling, \n\nwww. .... \n\nT", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-008 - Foreign Office - 1844.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 219630, "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": 90, "title": "CO129-008 - Foreign Office - 1844", "content_text": "\nARTICLE XIII. \n\nAll \n\nwhether natives of China or otherwise, who may wish to convey persons, goods from any one of the five ports of Canton, Foochowfoo, Amoy, Ningpo, and Shanghai, to Hong-Kong, for sale or consumption, shall be at full and perfect liberty to do so, on paying the duties on such goods, and obtaining a pass, or port clearance, from the Chinese Custom-house at one of the said ports. Should natives of China wish to repair to Hong-Kong to purchase goods, they shall have free and full permission to do so; and should they require a Chinese vessel to carry away their purchases, they must obtain a pass, or port-clearance, for her at the Custom-house of the port whence the vessel may sail for Hong-Kong. 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 inerchant 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 from that port, with the nature of their cargoes; and the Canton Authorities 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\nXVII, OR ADDITIONAL ARTICLE. \n\nRelating 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\ni \n\nIt is now agreed, in relation to this class of vessels which ply between Hong-Kong and the city, and the city and 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 dutiable 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 tou. Foochow and the other ports having none 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, Jorcha, &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, Iorcha, 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. It 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 IIwang, 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 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. \n\nA most important Supplementary Treaty. \n\ngra- \n\nSigned and sealed at Hoomun-Chae, on the Eighth day of October, 1843, corresponding with the Chinese date of the Fifteenth day of the Eighth moon, of the 23rd year of Taoukwang, \n\n(L.S.) \n\nHENRY POTTINGER. \n\nSeal and Signature of the \n\nChinese Plenipotentiary. \n\nPage 90Page 91", "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": 219634, "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": 94, "title": "CO129-008 - Foreign Office - 1844", "content_text": "\n\nCorresponding to No. \n\nCorresponding to No. \n\nin Alphabetical, i. e., \n\nEnglish List. \n\nin Alphabetical, i en \n\nEnglish List, \n\nARTICLES. \n\nClass XII-Imported Wines, Preserves, \n\nSpirits, &c. \n\nWriting Desks \n\nDressing Cases \n\nCutlery, Swords, &c. . \n\nWine and Beer, in quart bottles \n\nJewellery of Gold and Silver \n\nAll the foregoing, and any other miscellaneous \n\narticles of the same description, 3 per cent. ad valorem. \n\nClass IX-Gold and Silver Bullion, and Specie. \n\nDuty free \n\nin pint bottles \n\nin cask \n\n\" \n\nClass XIII-Imported Metals.

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 mouth, in 23rd year of Taoukwang; and Whereas, in the said Treaty it was provided (amongst other things), that the five ports of Canton, Foo-chow-foo, Amoy, and 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 seals and signatures of the respective Plenipotentiary and Commissioners, shall henceforward be in force at the five ports of Canton, Foo-chow-foo, Auray, Ning- po, and Shanghai. \n\nARTICLE II. \n\nThe General Regulations of Trade, which are hereunto attached under the scals 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\nARTICLE IV. \n\nAfter the five ports of Canton, Foo-chow, Amoy, Ningpo, and Shanghai, shall be thrown open, English merchants shall be allowed to trade only at those five ports. \n\nNeither shall they repair to any other ports or places, nor will the \n", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-009 - Public Offices - 1844.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 219957, "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": "CO129-009 - Public Offices - 1844", "page_number": 97, "title": "CO129-009 - Public Offices - 1844", "content_text": "E. \n\nIf \n\nChinese people at any ports or places be permitted to trade with them. English merchant-vessels shall, in contravention of this agreement, and of a pro- clamation to the same purport, to be issued by the Plenipotentiary, repair to any other ports or places, the Chinese Government Officers shall be at liberty to seize and confiscate both vessels and cargoes; and should Chinese people be discovered clandestinely dealing with English merchants at any other ports or places, they shall be punished by the Chinese Government in such manner as the law may direct. \n\nARTICLE V. \n\nThe fourth clause of the General Regulations of Trade, on the subject of commercial dealings and debts between English and Chinese merchants, is to be clearly understood to be applicable to both parties. \n\nARTICLE VI. \n\nIt is agreed that English merchants and others residing at, or resorting to, the Five Ports to be opened, shall not go into the surrounding country beyond certain short distances to be named by the local authorities, in concert with the British Consul, and on no pretence for purposes of traffic. Seamen and persons belonging to the ships shall only be allowed to land under authority and rules which will be fixed by the Consul, in communication with the local officers; and should any persons whatever infringe the stipulations of this Article, and wander away into the country, they shall be seized and handed over to the British Consul for suitable punishment. \n\nARTICLE VII. \n\nThe Treaty of Perpetual Peace and Friendship provides for British subjects and their families residing at the cities and towns of Canton, Foo-chow, Amoy, Ningpo, and Shanghai, without molestation or restraint. It is accordingly determined that ground and houses, the rent or price of which is to be fairly and equitably arranged for, according to the rates prevailing amongst the people, without exaction on either side, sha\" set apart by the local officers in commu- nication with the Consul, and the number of houses built, or rented, will be reported annually to the said local officers by the Consul, for the information of their respective viceroys and governors; but the number cannot be limited, seeing that it will be greater or less, according to the resort of merchants. \n\ntained or suspected by the officers of the Government of China, whither such criminals and offenders have fled, a communication shall be made to the proper English officer, in order that the said criminals and offenders may be rigidly \n\nup. searched for, seized, and, on proof or admission of their guilt, delivered In like manner, if any soldier or sailor, or any other person, whatever his caste or country, who is a subject of the Crown of England, shall, from any cause or on any pretence, desert, fly, or escape into the Chinese territory, such soldier or sailor, or other person, shall be apprehended and confined by the Chinese Autho- rities, and sent to the nearest British Consular or other Government officer. In neither case shall concealment or refuge be afforded. \n\nARTICLE X. \n\nAt each of the Five Ports to be opened to British merchants, one English cruizer will be stationed to enforce good order and discipline amongst the crews of merchant shipping, and to support the necessary authority of the Consul over British subjects. The crews of such ship of war will be carefully restrained by the officer commanding the vessel, and they will be subject to all the rules regarding going on shore and straying into the country, that are already laid down for the crews of merchant-vessels. Whenever it may be necessary to relieve such ships of war by another, intimation of that intention will be commu- nicated by the Consul, or by the British Superintendent of Trade, where circumstances will permit, to the local Chinese Authorities, lest the appearance of an additional ship should excite misgivings amongst the people; and the Chinese cruizers are to offer no hindrance to such relieving ship, nor is she to be con- sidered liable to any port-charges, or other rules laid down in the General Regulations of Trade, seeing that British ships of war never trade in any shape. \n\nARTICLE XI. \n\nThe posts of Chusan and Koolungsoo will be withdrawn, as provided for in the Treaty of Perpetual Peace and Friendship, the moment all the monies stipu- lated for in that Treaty shall be paid and the British Plenipotentiary distinctly and voluntarily agrees, that all dwelling-he store-houses, barracks, and other buildings that the British troops, or people, may have occupied, or intermediately built or repaired, shall be handed over, on the evacuation of the posts, exactly as they stand, to the Chinese Authorities, so as to prevent any pretence for delay, or the slightest occasion for discussion or dispute on those points. \n\nARTICLE VIII. \n\nThe Emperor of China having been graciously pleased to grant to all foreign countries whose subjects or citizens have hitherto traded at Canton, the privilege of resorting for purposes of trade to the other four ports of Foo-chow, Amoy, Ningpo, and Shanghai, on the same terms as the English, it is further agreed, that should the Emperor hereafter, from any cause whatever, be pleased to grant additional privileges or immunities to any of the subjects or citizens of such foreign countries, the same privileges and immunities will be extended to, and enjoyed by, British subjects; but it is to be understood, that demands or requests are not on this plea to be unnecessarily brought forward. \n\nARTICLE IX. \n\nIf lawless natives of China, having committed crimes or offences against their own Government, shall flee to Hong-Kong, or to the English ships of war, or English merchant-ships, for refuge, they shall, if discovered by the English officers, be handed over at once to the Chinese officers for trial and punishment; or if, before such discovery be made by the English officers, it should be ascer- \n\nARTICLE XII. \n\nA fair and regular Tariff of duties and other dues having now been established, it is to be hoped that the system of smuggling which has hereto- fore been carried on between English and Chinese merchants-in many cases with the open connivance and collusion of the Chinese Custom-house officers- will entirely cease; and the most peremptory proclamation to all English mer- chants has been already issued on this subject by the British Plenipotentiary, who will also instruct the different Consuls to strictly watch over, and carefully scrutinize, the conduct of all persons, being British subjects, trading under his superintendence. In any positive instance of smuggling transactions coming to the Consul's knowledge, he will instantly apprize the Chinese Authorities of the fact, and they will proceed to seize and confiscate all goods, whatever their value or nature, that may have been so smuggled, and will also be at liberty, if they see fit, to prohibit the ship from which the smuggled goods were landed, from trading further, and to send her away, as soon as her accounts are adjusted and paid. The Chinese Government officers will, at the same tinie, adopt what- ever measures they may think it with regard to the Chinese merchants and Custom-house officers, who may be discovered to be concerned in smuggling. \n\n", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-009 - Public Offices - 1844.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 219958, "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": "CO129-009 - Public Offices - 1844", "page_number": 98, "title": "CO129-009 - Public Offices - 1844", "content_text": "E \n\nARTICLE XHI. \n\nAll persons, whether natives of China or otherwise, who may wish to convey goods from any one of the Five Ports of Canton, Foo-chow-foo, Amoy, Ningpo, and Shanghai, to Hong-Kong, for sale, or consumption, shall be at full and perfect liberty to do so, on paying the duties on such goods, and obtaining a pass, or port clearance, from the Chinese Custom-house at one of the said ports. natives of China wish to repair to Hong-Kong to purchase goods, they shall Should have free and full permission to do so; and should they require a Chinese vessel to carry away their purchases, they must obtain a pass, or port-clearance, for her at the Custom-house of the port whence the vessel may sail for Hong-Kong. 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.

His jurisdiction, though necessarily limited in extent, yet embraces all depart ments of the government: he is collector as well as ma- gistrate, has charge of the public works and charities, presides over educational affairs; and though he pos- sesses no military authority, it must be remembered that the military in China are placed very much in subordina. tion to the civil power.

But, whether for police Shelt-pae, H or other purposes, the villages are usually left under elders chosen by the people themselves (though assisted and watched sometimes by petty police officers), and to these elders is committed the care of collecting the taxes due from their villages, and for preserving order therein. For all but military objects, Hongkong seems to have been thus left at all times without an officer of govern- \n\nment. \n\nFor military objects, Hongkong is included in the regi mental district of Tapang (Typoong)-a_town_to_the eastward of Hongkong and Kowlung, in Haarlem's Bay,} and which is also the residence of the Tsotang, or as sistant magistrate, of Siu'an.
