	William Pitt Amherst, 1st Earl Amherst
		In 1816 he was sent as ambassador extraordinary to the court of China, with a view of establishing more satisfactory commercial relations between that country and the United Kingdom.
		On arriving in the Peiho he was given to understand that he could only be admitted to the emperor Jiaqing's presence on condition of performing the kow-tow, a ceremony which Western nations considered degrading, and which was, indeed, a homage exacted by a Chinese sovereign from his tributaries.
		To this Lord Amherst, following the advice of Sir George T. Staunton, who accompanied him as second commissioner, refused to consent, as Lord Macartney had done in 1793, unless the admission was made that his sovereign was entitled to the same show of reverence from a mandarin of his rank.

		After a stormy interview, fruitless in its results, the two men left the Yamun, but were attacked on the street and murdered, and their bodies thrown into the Peiho.
		The attacks of the mob were directed entirely against the French, but it was evident that they only wanted courage and a daring leader in order to fall upon and exterminate all the foreigners in the place.
		Not a gunboat of any nationality was on the Peiho at the time, so that the foreign residents were without any protection.

	Reception
		Several nations had sent representatives to China, and in 1792 England decided to send Lord Macartney as an ambassador to the emperor in the hope of establishing safe and reasonable relations of trade.
		Even before the ambassador landed, the Chinese contrived to run up a flag on the vessel that bore him up the Peiho, whereon was written "Tribute-bearer from England." This was quite in accordance with the Chinese custom of claiming all gifts as tribute.
		Another custom of theirs was that whoever approached the throne of the emperor must perform the kowtow, that is, must kneel three times, and at each kneeling must bow three times till his head touched the floor.
