The Donghong Government Gazette.
[JANUARY 22, 1859,
Her Majesty's Government would much regret that the commencement of British intercourse with Japan should be signalized by act of smuggling and other illegality or violence on the part of British Subjects, which, although they might for the moment be pecuniari ben dicial to the parties concerned in them, would tend to check the dispositions of the Japanese Government to enter into friendly intercours with this country, to paralyze legitimate trade, and to impress the people and Government of Japan with an unfavorable opinion of ti British character, which would require a long time to efface.
At all events, it is the duty of Her Majesty's Government to do their utmost to avert any such evil consequences, and I have according to request Your Lordships by to-morrow's Mail, to send instructions to Sir M. Seymour, at once to despatch to Jeddo a Ship of adequ force, and to instruct the Commander of such Ship to inform the Japanese Government that Her Majesty's Government are not privy to ar British Subjects carrying on any illicit trade with Japan, if such should be attempted either before or after the exchange of the ratificatio of the Treaty; but that Her Majesty's Government highly disapproving of such conduct, will not extend their protection to any Britis Subjects, who may violate the laws of Japan.
The British commanding officer in Japan should also warn the Masters of any British Ships so trading, that they will not be protecte from the effects of any such illegal proceedings on their part.
It might also be desirable that Sir M. Seymour shonld, in the manner which he may judge most suitable, make known to Britis Subjects in the Chinese Ports and at Hongkong, the course prescribed to Iler Majesty's Naval Force in Japan.-I have, &c.,
