As far as regards the landing and shipping of merchandise at the present momout the abstraction to which I rofor is loss prapoancod than has been the oa bat similar intervale of cousalion have been noticed in the past, and it appears that at nag zement difleultjos mayaguin Brise and with evou more agriong conse- quences, than those hitherto experienced.
To make a detailed statement of caesa now would be to trouble you to little purpose.
My objast is to bring to your notics the fast that the foreign trade of the part is subject to systematic obstruction, and I bave the honour to ask that you will be so good as take suchaotion as you may consider desirable in the cireumatanoes. There is one other subjost to which I would draw your attention, before concluding.
Foreign merakinta and the likin and other ofilsisle do not appear to be agreed as to what should be regarded as the "limits of the part of Canton. I would submit that sneh limita may reasonably be taken to include that part of the river from the Whompos anchorage upwards to Cantor, the city and suburbs on both sides of the river, and the adjacent anchorages.
If this view bo correct, I venture in anggest tint much friction would be avoided by an an- Founcement on the subject to offeints ooudorned in the colleation of taxes..
Trusting you will deem the foregoing worthy of your early consideration,
I have the honour to be,
