from Major Aldrich and to inform you for the information of the Honorable Major General D'Aguilar, that recent communication from the herald at Canton intimates His Excellency's intention of specially addressing the Plenipotentiary on the subject of the Defences, which he had been informed were likely to be erected for this Colony and which would probably include

a Fort of some kind or other on Stone Cutters Island. Sir Henry Pottinger therefore concludes that the matter has been considered of sufficient moment to cause it to be referred to the Imperial Commissioner (as anticipated in letter No. 95 of the 11th of March)

or even to the Cabinet at Peking, and until a reply is received, he would not like to authorize any further
