Sam directed by His Excellency the Governor in Council to inform you in reply to your letters No. 18 and 19 of the 2nd Instant, that it is deemed advisable that all expenses necessary in the Chinese Department for carrying out the new regulations as regards Boats &c. should be incurred solely by Mr. Gutzlaff and the people and boats who may be employed, or hired, by him.
His Excellency does not consider that there will be the smallest occasion for another English Clerk. Any duty that may fall on you in consequence of the new Regulations in your capacity of Marine Magistrate is already provided for.
You are therefore requested to put yourself in communication with Mr. Gutzlaff on these points.
His Excellency further desires me to intimate to you that he thinks that exclusive of the expense there are serious objections to laying down such a number of Buoys in the Harbour, and that doing so 6 by two or three would be sufficient simply to denote the distance within which Boats shall not approach the shore at night. It is also to be taken into consideration that the chances of the Buoys being stolen or removed will be greatly added to by their being numerous.
I have &c.
