Peking , August 23, 1875. (Received October 20.)
Sir: Referring again to the late assaults upon and placards against foreigners in and about Peking, I now send a translation of the proclamation issued under the orders of the Tsung li Yamen, with a view to preventing such things in future.
Accompanying the Chinese text of this proclamation, which was furnished me, on application, by the Yamen, is a list of thirty-six places where copies were posted. This is not as wide a circulation as could have been desired, but the tone and language of the paper are satisfactory.
I have, &c.,
BENJ. P. AVERY.
