I was informed that Lord Granville's opinion coincided with that of Lord Derby, who would be the leader in this matter. The Australian Colonies were anxious about the jeopardising of their trade with China, as if they were being treated as contraband of war.
Lord Derby will be glad to receive at your earliest convenience further information on this subject, particularly with reference to the last paragraph of your letter of the 29 ult., in order that a reply may be sent to this telegram from Sir S. Bowen. I am also to furnish Lord Derby with further Copies of the Note of M. Waddington for communication to the Colonies concerned.
