I trust this account will tend to confirm the gratifying testimony which I have received through the Foreign Office, from the Lords Commissioners of Her Majesty's Treasury,

with reference to my

"attention to preserving

a due economy in the public expenditure in China."

I fear I cannot predict any material reduction in the Consular Services; but, as regards the Colony, the Revenue will shortly, as soon as the few remaining public works are finished, be within a trifle of the Civil charges, without a single tax on Commerce...

I have the honor to be,

With the highest respect,

Your Lordships'

Most Obedient

Humble Servant,

Dani
