compliments to His Majesty's Secretary of State

his Government, has the honour to lay before
Bir E. Grey, for such action as he may find it

His Majesty's authorities at Hong Kong.
According to reporte received by the
American Government, the reverend gentleman was taken
from the Dutch steamer *TJIKEMBANG" and detained,
