My Lord,
Victoria, Hongkong,
22nd February,
1850
In continuation of my Despatch
No 10 of the 26th ultimo, in which I reported that the delivery of the head and hand of the late Governor of Macao had immediately followed the release by the authorities of the three Chinese Portuguese who had been kept prisoners since the night of the murder, I have to submit to Your Lordship copy of an official communication from the Council of Macao to my address, enclosing transcript of a further correspondence which had passed between that body and the Imperial Commissioner relative to the delivery of the remains.
The Right Honorable
The Viscount Palmerston, G. C. B
