With reference to my despatch No.142 of
the 22nd of June, I have the honour to enclose
herewith to Your Lordship, a copy of a further des-
patch from Mr Brenan commenting upon certain state-
ments relative to his action at Canton, which were
reported to the Marquis of Ripon by His Excellency
the Governor of Hongkong in a despatch dated the
20th of June and published in the Hongkong Press.
I have received from the Governor of Hong-
kong the copies of correspondence between the Colo-
nial Secretary and Mr Prenan to which His Excellency,
in Paragraph 15 of his despatch to Lord Ripon, re-
fers, but as I had already made representations to the Tsungli Yamên at the instance of Her Majesty's
Consul at Canton and the action of the Canton Vice-
roy had been on the whole as satisfactory as could
