The foreign Powers ought to take into conside ration the heavy indemnity which the Chinese Coverament hus been called upon to pay. The talny duty as a well known fact is most detri.. montal to trade, as no one knows what the leks will come to on Bech and much goods until their arrival at the port of destination.
