Sir,
With reference to my telegram of the 1st ultimo and to yours in reply of the 8th ultimo, I have the
honour to forward a copy of the letter received from Monsieur L.Robert, Procureur of the Missions Étrangeres in reply to my letter informing him that His Majesty's
Government were not prepared to entertain his proposal
to exchange Monkey Island at Amoy for certain property
in this Colony.
2.
Though I never considered the offer one which
His Majesty's Government would accept, I deemed it my
duty to bring the matter to your notice on account of
its possible international significance.
Satow has informed me that the title of the Mission
Sir Ernest
Étrangere to Monkey Island has never been recognised by
