Legation in London called at the Office yesterday on behalf of the Chinese Minister that French Ships was continue to be refitted and provisioned at Hong Kong notwithstanding the promised enforcement of the Foreign Enlistment Act.

I am to state that Lord Granville would propose, with Lord Derby's concurrence, to acquaint the Chinese Minister that no information to the above effect has reached Her Majesty's Government, but that telegraphic instructions will be sent at once to the Governor of Hongkong to stop further infractions, if any, of the Act have been committed.

I am to request that, if Lord Derby should concur in this course, the necessary telegraphic Instructions may be despatched at once.
