(Mr. Choate reports that the British Government has sent a circular to its representatives abroad to be communicated to foreign governments, stating that no answer has yet been received to communications addressed to officials in Pekin, and until further information is received from the British minister and general there, Great Britain is unable to form confident judgment on important questions raised in Russian communication.)
