My dear friend,

M. Merivale. In so far

as my limited means of information went, I was of the opinion that the statements made before the Committee of the House of Commons on China Trade were, as regarded the public Officer's conduct of affairs there, extremely loose and prejudiced. And it would seem that Major Caine, who is a highly honourable & excellent Officer, has already sent his observations on the Evidence taken before the Committee; but as they were addressed to Lord Palmerston, it rested with his Lordship to decide whether they should be communicated to Parliament, not through Nor. Denham Davis.

In the present case, I suppose that if the Governor's defence is not made public, neither can the Secretary's be. Whether they should both be ... perhaps a further question is submitted with greater brightness in consequence. Officers of high standing have made the Evidence the subject of their representation.

Mr Haur... a Major Stanley, who, I understand, with the consent of the government, like Mr I, rather conclude it to be inward, not a private communication?
