Letter from J. D. Campbell,

Transcribing a copy of a strictly secret telegram received from Hart to the effect that the real meaning of the rejection of the French proposals was that China considered the May Convention annulled and decided not to part with the sovereignty of a tribute power, thus opening the whole question afresh; China wishing peace was willing to negotiate, but would not eat dirt without a struggle; counter proposals would be launched next week; Formosa blockade had stopped trade and kindled patriotic movements all over China; English good offices would be requested, but not till the right moment.
