Excerpt: . . . chapter xviii the opening of the river ports 1860-1861 1860 A Br1t1sh Embassy was at last established at Peking, iT-32 and Parkes was enjoying the comforts of Lord Elgins well-appointed household and excellent French cook with the keener relish from the memory of a very different experience as a prisoner in the same city. The residence at Peking, however, was to be but brief, for the present. Preparations would have to be made for the suitable housing of the new Minister and his establishment, before a permanent occupation could be made, and meanwhile it was thought undesirable to emphasize our triumph by keeping our representative conspicuously before the eyes of the hostile faction at the capital. It was also apparently considered unnecessary to insist on an audience of the Emperor to deliver the Queens autograph letter, and for the second time Lord Elgin left the neighbourhood of Peking without being received as every ambassador ought to be by the Sovereign to whom he is accredited. All succeeding Ministers to China have suffered for his mistake, and the audience question is still on an unsatisfactory footing. But haste was as much the order of the day in November as delay had been the rule at the end of September. The General was in a hurry to remove his troops. Indeed he wanted to be off the moment the Treaty was signed: to have done so, as Parkes wrote (28th October), would have been to have 1860 made that Treaty almost valueless, to have removed with 3: ones own hand the impression we have been labouring so hard to make--in short to defeat the object of the Expedition. Lord Elgin agreed in this view, and a great fight ensued between him and Sir Hope Grant. The General positively stated that he would not stay a day after. . . This item ships from La Vergne,TN.
