I have the honour to enclose copy of a despatch
which I have addressed to the Government of Burma,
communicating the information I have just received
from Mengtzu of the stoppage of the Hongkong-Yunnan
trade through Tongking owing to a recent transit
regulation of the Tongking Customs.
A similar copy is being sent to His Majesty's
Minister, under flying seal through His Majesty's
Consuls at Pakhoi and Wuchow.
I have &c.,
(Signed) W.H. Wilkinson,
Consul General,
His Majesty's Principal Secretary of State
for Foreign Affairs.
