the Governor
of Hongkong, by whom it is
considered that such control
can
be
more satisfactorily exercised than by the Postmaster General in England..

I am to request that you will state to the Duke
Buckingham and Chandos that, since the correspondence in question took place, Her
Majesty's Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs has been informed by the Postmaster General
of
the
28
arrangements which
have been made for
transferring his control over the Post Office Agents in China and Japan to the Governor of Hongkong, and that his Grace has reason to believe that such instructions have
been sent by Lord Stanley to Her Majesty's Minister at Peking, as will assure a proper observance
by the Consular Officers, (acting as Post Office Agents,) of any orders
which
may be issued by the
Governor on the subject of their postal duties.
For
on
I have the honour to be
Ser
Your Obedient
de
humble Servant.
