de Souza, who
1. J. M. da Ponte e Horta in the Govt. of Macao, appears to have lost no time in endeavouring to correct the abuses of the Coolie traffic which have brought as much discredit not only on the name of Portugal, but, by inference, that of Europeans generally; if he succeeds in removing this, I venture to submit he will deserve well not only of his own Govt. but of all foreign Govts. who have relations with China.
