Portuguese soldiers, dispensing even with the help of the Cantonese Forces. But I cannot refuse this help, if the Chinese Authorities would like to offer it, to the disembarkation in the islands in dispute between Portugal and China. An a reement may certainly be made between the Covernment of this Colony and the Canton Government As to the best way of co-operating, and all the inconveniences are thus avoided; but such an agreement may be Lade directly between the two Government interested it seeming to me that the autorities at Canton anould address the selves to the Goverment of the
Colony of Lacau and not seek to rocure the gracious intervention of Your Excellency which, while I thank you „uch, I consider dis- -pensable. While answering in this way to Your Excellency's letter, I beg that it there may not be perceived in the answer the slight- -est intention of prejudicing the accomplishment of the endeavours which have been agreed upon between Your Government and the Govern- -ment of Canton for the persecution of le pirates. I desire most earnestly to collaborate in these operations that, as Your Excel- -lency has well said, will contribute powerfully to the benefit of
peace and good order in the Colony of Hongkong, the Colony of
Lacao and the surrounding territories.
But it is my opinion I repeat that the seid Co-operation must be made reserving to the forces of my country
the operations undertaken on the we.ors of the islands in dispute,
with the help of troops sent by the Chinese Autuorities if they
are willing to do so, and leaving to the combined forces of China
and Ingland the care of fighting the pirates on the numerous
Chinese islands where they are sheltere. and to vidch fortugal nas
no claims.
