Lorches. There were no
English vessels here
At that time. And as in the Report
of
the Prefect of Fichning, no sort of proof is furnished as to the nationality
of the convoying vessels beyond the bare assertion of the Chakeung Junkmen, I feel almost convinced they were in fact English vessels.
Moreover a case was lately submitted to me by the Hackwan at Macao in which the fu's tom's officer at Mingpan alleged a charge of infringement of the fuzhou's Law against
an English vessel engaged in giving convoy to Junkies which however I found on proof supplied to me by the Hackwan
himself to be a Portuguese lorcha.
I took that opportunity of explaining to the Hackwan what nevertheless he ought to have been cognizant of that there was
no English vessel then in the Port similarly engaged, & that most of the vessels engaged to convoy native junks to Foreigners, principally Portuguese over whom H. M. Officers & Govr have no jurisdiction or control.
I have accordingly to request you will take proper measures for making this fact known to the people on the Coast whom you represent as entertaining a violent feeling of Esasperation against the English.
In the meantime. I will take an early opportunity of representing the case to the Plenipotentiary in compliance with your request.
