Your Lordship with such further information as I am able to obtain. The better class of Chinese are strongly opposed to the traffic, as carried on from Macao. I have on several occasions, without alluding specially to the Macao Coolie trade, assured intelligent and well-disposed Chinese, with whom I have had communication, that Her Majesty's Government would not sanction any movement of the kind, without the fullest guarantees for the exercise of entire free will on the part of the immigrants, their good treatment, and means of safe return to their country.
