Need I urge your Excelency to press forward the question of the opening t the West River, so often and so unavailingly pressed upon the attention of Ministers? Th Tiolation by the Chinese Government of the clauses of existing creation on the subject of trusit passes in the southern provinces and the destruction, two years ago, of the promising trade springing up from the protection of these clause, are amply snfiiciout justification for this domand; bri if any farther is wanted the privilegas recently granted the Frach Government in Tonquin and along the southern frestier of China entitle Great Britain, as of right, ts corresponding ad cantages at Bore other point.
