I have the hour to acknowledge your
bucellency's confidential communication dated yesterday advising
me
of your
wish
to withdraw in aid of the operations against
Canton such military forces
as can be
spared concistently with the proper protection
of this Colorry.
I continue in the persuasion that the Colony has little to apprehend from foreign
invasion and that the dangers have not been
increased
