Government House, Hong Kong April 15th 1815.

My Lord,

It was brought to my notice late last night (I having been unwell to attend to business during the day) that the Guard of a Naique and three Sepoys were removed from the House in which Mr. Johnston resides without any previous intimation.

It is unnecessary perhaps for me at this moment, to minutely examine whether Mr. Johnston will be affected by the new arrangements ordered by Her Majesty's Government.
