by M. de Montigny, the former by the Consul of the country to which the vessel belongs.

and the medicines regulated by Agreement between the Representatives of France and Great Britain.

Nevertheless, the correspondence has been referred to Sir R. Alcock, and Earl Granville will probably desire to await his report on the subject before issuing any further instructions to the Governor of Hongkong.

In the last paragraph of his despatch, Sir R. McDonnell requests to be informed of the progress of the negotiations respecting the Emigration Convention.

I have the honour to be,

Your Obedient,

Humble Servant, A. Handcock.
