After a careful perusal of Lord Pottinger's despatch No 15 of 1844 to Your Lordships address, I am desirous to express my entire

concurrence in his plans and sentiments concerning Macao, and the importance

of that place as any other than a part of the Chinese Dominions, where the Portuguese

are permitted to reside on sufferance. As the Chinese Sovereignty there is acknowledged - as they drove the English merchants away from that place in 1834, with or without the connivance of the Portuguese, I think it would be pregnant with the greatest inconvenience to admit the pretensions of

The Right Admiral,

The Earl of Aberdeen R. A.

L.

1844

"Brep: 765" Sir Henry Pottinger Bart.

Received

a rupture with the Government of China, our assistance in the event of the Portuguese Authorities at Macao to

On the subject of the right of the

China.
