With regards to the question of the expences of your transport by land & sea, I am to state to you that Lord Aberdeen understood from Lord Stanley that generally orders come from this Colonial Office.

With regard to any such expences I have to state to you that if the performance of your public duty requires that you should incur them Lord Aberdeen conceives that the charge should be borne by the Public. In most cases, however, your passage from one place to another will probably be afforded to you by Ships of war, and the expences thereof will be claimed by the Officers commanding such Ships, in the usual way through the Admiralty but if in any case, you find it necessary actually to make a disbursement on account of passages in execution of the Public Service, in your capacity of Plenipotentiary & Chief Superintendent, you will be authorized to charge the amount thereof on your contingent account with this Office.
Sir Henry Pottinger has probably made some arrangement on this point with regard to your transport for the short passages between Hongkong and Macao and Canton, more economical perhaps than an adherence to the naval regulations in this respect would admit of; and it would be advisable that you should ascertain what he has done, and follow the same course, as far as it appears to be most advantageous to the Public Service.
