Excerpt from Miscellaneous Notices Relating to China, and Our Commercial Instercourse With That Country: Including a Few Translations From the Chinese Language To enter into a negotiation as preparatory to the change which it is proposed to efi'ect, would, I think, have a tendency to create much embarrassment and great dificulty in the way of carrying that change into opera tion. I think if we do not ourselves sound the note of alarm, the Chinese will receive any functionary whom we may appoint as the re presentative of the British nation at Canton, without any of the suspicion and distrust which the formal process of a negotiation would be sure to awaken in the minds of a people so sensitive and so jealous; and that the ordinary truncations of business between them and us, would proceed with little or no interruption. Upon these grounds I am decidedly of opinion that it would be anything but ad visable to preface the proposed change of sys tem by negotiation. Mirror of Porfiment, June 18, 1833. P. 2294.
