PRINCE KUNG'S MEMORIAL REGARDING FOREIGN RELATIONS

There was a mistake in the translation we published last week, of the important memorial lately addressed by Prince Kung and his colleagues to the Emperor, regarding the position of Roreigners in China, At the close of the second paragraph,—instead of the passage—"There has been no intention on the of the peaceable and well-conducted to wrong (the people of) China; and the officials and people of China have on their part behaved with all civility;"—the translation should ran "Phere has been no intention on the part of the well-conducted and able to wrong (the people of). China; and towards the officials of China also they (the well-conducted foreigners) have behaved with all civility."

Text read from the printed page and cleaned; old type leaves the occasional error.
