In continuation of my Confidential
Despatch of 15th. December last, I have the honour to forward
copies of Despatches dated December 24th. and January 26th.
from His Lajesty's Ambassador at Tokio and His Majesty's
Consul at Tamsui respectively.
2.
With reference to paragraph 4 of my
Confidential Despatch of January 10th., it will be noted from
these enclosures that the very large decrease, which Mr.
Levy alleged to have taken place in the import of Indian
Opium to Formosa in the last three years, does not appear to
be supported by the facts. I would also invite your attention
to the very large import into Formosa of Turkish and Persian
Opium, which is, as you are aware, chiefly used for the
manufacture of Morphia.
