- Diary and consultations of the Council in China
- Scope & Content:
- Met a 'Tawjen' [Kinch'ai Tach'en, Imperial High Commissioner] accompanying Cardinal Mezzobarba, Papal Legate, on his return journey from Peking to Macao. Informed that 'the Hoppo has published a Chop forbidding all the inferiour class of merchants or such as are not of this Company to deal or trade with any forreigner, & the Hoppo has undertaken to oblidge such of them as shall trade to pay this new Company 20 per cent on all chinaware & 40 per cent on all tea.' Informed by the Hoppo that 'the Tawjen, himself, and some other Mandarins would visit the ship to see what curiosities could be picked up for the Emperor, & that at the same time he would measure the ship.' Replied demanding that 'he would annul the Chop he had issued to restrain people trading with us and issue another declaring us and all the natives restored to the full enjoyment of all those rights and priviledges we had enumerated, & that till this affair was finished we could not possibly spare time to pay our complements to any of the Mandarins but those with whom our business lay.'
