Macau, March 23. 1843.

Your letter of the 19th instant I have had the honour to receive.

I have now arranged for the Ship "Aden" returning to Hongkong, but I cannot refrain from expressing my great surprise that she should have been allowed to quit that Port, whilst the case of her Chief mate was under reference to me.

The Marine Magistrate did not know, that she was about to quit the Port, he neglected his duty, and if he did not know that fact, it was his business to bring it to your notice, and yours to take steps for having her detained.

A. R. Johnston

Secretary
