I have given careful consideration to your Excellencys
despatch of the 23rd ultimo in which you request His Majesty's
Minister to forward to the Cabinot a telegram addressed to it
by certain Chinese in Hongkong on the political situation.
There is, as far as I am aware, no pređedent for such
transmission and a reference to my despatch of the 10th instant
will I trust make it clear how difficult it would be for me to
comply with your request in view of the language used in the
communication addressed by Sir John Jordan to the Wai Chiao
Pu on the 28th ultimo. To convey to the Chinese Government a
partisan message from Hongkong on the burning topic of the day
in China, appears to me to amount to encouragement of that
introduction by Chinese into a British Colony of the political
controversias of their country of origin which we have stated
cannot be allowed.
