Regarding this colony: its commercial prospects are slowly but certainly improving, and assuming a character of greater prominence; its sanitary condition is satisfactory; the wants of its community are supplied in the city; and the Chinese inhabitants, as far as I can judge, continue to have confidence in the Government. The only subject of regret is the extent to which piracy prevails in the neighbouring waters. This, indeed, is one of great importance; but, being carried chiefly between Chinese, it is altogether impossible for the British Government to suppress it without some active cooperation on the part of the Chinese Government... cooperation I have repeatedly requested from its authorities without avail; and, in the present disorganized state of the seaboard part of the Empire, it is now useless to expect it.

I have the honour to be, with the highest respect,

My Lord,

Your Grace's

Most obedient

Humble Servant,

Bestrahun
