Monsieur le Chargé d'Affaires:-
In continuation of my note of the 22nd..
instant, respecting the importation of opium into Macao,
I have the honour to inform you that the contents of
the note from your Legation of the 3rd. of July last
having been forwarded to the Governor of that possession
this official replied on the 30th. of that month; but
his answer made it necessary, after consulting the
Colonial Council, to telegraph to him afresh on the
16th. instant.
The question being a complicated one, the
Directorate General of the Colonies desire to make a
careful and prolonged study of the subject, so as to
obtain a full knowledge of it; I may, however, assure
you that that Department, as well as the Portuguese
Government, are bent upon following the principle al-
ways shown of loyally co-operating in the suppression
