30 – 40,000 dollars in value, have suffered so repeatedly, as almost to drive them away entirely, and where there were formerly three or five, we have now only one. This will is very inveterate, and it is difficult to suggest an effective remedy, which would put a stop to it, and the Chinese government will not avail itself of our cooperation. Could we believe the sufferers when they pointed out their assailants, or discover with sufficient proofs for conviction their haunts, the matter could be very easy; long before force can arrive, they are gone, however, and there are so many harbours and hiding places in these islands that it would require much local knowledge, and good information, to apprehend them. But as the Chinese government, on account of possessing better means for obtaining knowledge of the perpetrators, is perfectly competent to bring them to condign punishment, the constant recurrence of piracy, if duly reported to the Supreme Government, and the most urgent and often reiterated requests to put these nefarious wretches down, with a high hand, might rouse it from its slumbers and indifference. Some vessels of ours fitted out in the Chinese way might cruise about at the Kapsing and Ly-yu-moon with great advantage.

The Supplementary treaty which stipulated, that junks should only clear out from the Harbours open to our trade, has fortunately not been carried into force. However, the very fact, that four emporia besides Canton are accessible to our traders, with the many intermediate stations on the Coast, makes it extremely easy for junks to go to the nearest spot and buy cheaply.
