sir,
I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your despatch, in which you state that prohibitive measures affect- ing the trade of British merchants, which are not sanctioned by the agreement between the two Governments, constitute a direct contravention of longstanding Treaty arrangements.
I find that the regulations for the suppression of opium in force in this Province are drawn up on the lines of those submitted by the Government Council and sanctioned by the Throne; that is to say that they are promulgated by the Imperial Govern- ment of China and did emanate from this Province alone. This I have already made clear to you in my despatch of October Blat. As regade your statement that the Wai Wu Pu promised His Majesty's Minister at Peking to move the Provincial Authori- ties of Kuangtung to have all restrictions on legitimate British trade removed, I have the honour to call your attention to the fact that, although I have received no commurication of the kind, these regulations, having been adopted, can only be altered by a Memorial addressed to the Throne by the Board, and that this Government are not in a position either to alter or abrogate them..
I avail eto.,
(Seal of Acting Governor-General).
