We are in receipt of a letter from H. B. M.'s
Consul-General at Canton, dated the 9th. instant, covering copy
of the Civil Governor's despatch dated the 5th. February and the
Consul-General's reply of the 9th. idem. regarding our claim
against the Canton Government in connection with the prohibition
of export of Limestone, copies of which are doubtless in your
possession.
As the matter has been referred to Peking, we have
the honour to request that you will make representations to His Majesty's Minister at Peking or to the Secretary of State for the
Colonies with a view to giving our claim as much support as
possible.
