EXTRACT FROM THE TREATY OF TIEN-TSIN, DATED THE 26TH OF JUNE 1858, AND RATIFIED AT PEKIN ON THE 24TH OCTOBER 1860.

Article VIII.--The Christian Religion, as professed by Protestants or Roman Catholics, inculcates the practice of virtue, and teaches man to do as he would be done by. Persons teaching or professing it there fore, shall alike be entitled to the protection of the Chinese authorities, nor, shall any such, peaceably pursuing their calling, and not offending against the law, be persecuted or interfered with.

Article IX.-British subjects are hereby authorised to travel, for their pleasure or for purposes of trade, to all parts of the interior, under passports which will be issued by their consuls, and countersigned by the local authorities. These passports, if demanded, must be produced for examination in the localities passed through. If the passport be not irregular, the bearer will be allowed to proceed, and no opposition shall be offered to his hiring persons, or hiring vessels for the carriage of his baggage or merchandise. If he be without a passport, or if he commit any offence against the law, he shall be handed over to the nearest consul for punishment, but he must not be subjected to any ill-usage in excess of necessary restraint. No passport need be applied for by persons going on excursions from the ports open to trade, to a distance not exceeding 100 li, and for a period not exceeding 5 days.

The provisions of this article do not apply to crews of ships, for the due restraint of whom regulations will be drawn up, by the consul and the local authorities.

To Nanking, and other cities disturbed by persons in arms against the Government, no pass shall be given, until they shall have been re-captured.

Under Rule 8 of an agreement entered into at Shanghai, on the 8th of November 1858, an amendment was enacted to Article IX above quoted, as follows:-

Rule 8. Foreign trade under passports. It is agreed that Article IX of the Treaty of Tien-Tsin shall not be interpreted as authorising British subjects to enter the capital city of Peking for purposes of trade.

NOTE: This is the only limitation to the provisions of Article IX of the Treaty of Tien-Tsin, of the 26th June 1858.
