No. 388
My Lord,
On receipt yesterday of Your Lordship’s Despatch No. 542 of the 29th instant and of its enclosure. I draw up a paraphrase of the telegram sent to Your Lordship on the 12th ultimo by Sir H.S. Parkes stating the measures which he considered it would be desirable to adopt for opening negotiations with Corea.
This I communicated to the Duc Decazes and I told His Excellency that before coming to any decision on the subject Her Majesty’s Government would be glad to learn the opinion of it entertained by the French Government.
I have the honour to enclose herewith a copy of the paraphrase.
That Duke told me this morning that he had consulted with the Minister of Marine on the subject and that they were both of opinion that it would be a great imprudence on the part of the French Government to send an expedition to the Corea, where the difficulties of navigation were so considerable.
I have the honour to be,
With the highest respect, My Lord,
Your Lordship’s most obedient, humble servant,
Adams
Copy
H.M.G. received on the 20th instant, a telegram from Sir H.S. Parkes stating in substance that he had learnt from a competent Japanese Authority that, unless supported by force, nothing will be effected in Corea by any Foreign Power, but that the presence of an adequate force would prevent collision to ensure success.
Sir H.S. Parkes considers that it would be better not to attempt to negotiate at all, unless we are ready to insist upon our demands, and his opinion is that if an Envoy is sent to Corea, the latter should be accompanied by seven or eight ships, amongst which there should be four or five gunboats, in that an endeavour should be made to reach the Capital. He thinks, that if Japan were invited, she would be inclined to afford friendly assistance by informing the Government of Corea that the Mission had pacific objects. He says that both Chinese and Japanese interpreters would be required. He thinks that the sooner the mission is sent the better, because the success of the Japanese will probably not produce substantial results and if other Powers do not follow it up there may be a reaction.
He reports the expected arrival in Japan of a Corean Envoy on May 24 and that the object of his Mission is not known.
