Sir:-
I transmit to you herewith a copy of a lettor
which I have received from the Colonisl Office request-
ing that standing instructions should be given to His
Majesty's Consul-General at Canton to communicate at
once with the Governor of Hongkong in case anything oc-
curo in his district which is likely to affect the
Colony.
From the correspondence which «ccompanies the Co-
lonial Office letter you will observe thut the question
has arisen in consequence of certain recent disturb-
ances at Canton not having been notified to Hongkong
so promptly as the
Governor thought desirable.
I presume that Buch communications are already
made by His Majesty's Consular Officer at Canton to the
Governor at Hongkong as a matter of course, and while
I have no reuson to suppose that on the present occa-
