(Deeming that some information with reference to the shipment of Chinese Coolies to Peru might be acceptable & useful, more particularly at a time when public attention has been called to the treatment these people are said to undergo at the Chincha Islands, I have the honor to enclose a tabular statement of the number shipped to Peru under the designation of Coolies from 1849 to 1854, inclusive, which I obtained from the records of the Peruvian Consulate at Canton. From this document, which I have no reason to suppose is incorrect, it will be seen that the number of Chinese shipped within the above-mentioned period amounts to 7356. Of these, 4754 were landed at their destinations, and 549 died on the passage.)
