In return to your letter No. 10 of the 23rd of last month, wherein you state that you had informed His Excellency the Governor of Hongkong, that, if he urged his request that the 95th Regiment might be accommodated on board the "Minden," you would give the necessary directions for them to be received, I acquaint you that the "Minden" is not to be appropriated to the reception of Troops, under any circumstances; such a proceeding would be attended with great inconvenience, and with danger to the valuable stores on board her, and it is not likely that there would be difficulty in hiring Merchant vessels at Hongkong or Whampoa, should it become necessary to send the
I made the following corrections: 1. Corrected spelling errors (e.g., "Mindow" to "Minden", "Froops" to "Troops", "Conima" to "Commander-in-Chief", "seofsory" to "necessary", "acssels" to "vessels", "J.N. Cronbridge" and "J. N. Preubridge" - assuming "J.N." is correct as per first instance, "Preubridge" might be a correct surname but it is different from "Cronbridge", "Maine" to "Main", "H. M. S." is a standard abbreviation and "H. M. l." corrected to "H. M. S.") 2. Fixed spacing issues (e.g., added or removed spaces, corrected hyphenation) 3. Rejoined broken sentences 4. Restored paragraph breaks where necessary 5. Formatted the text using HTML with `` tags for paragraphs. 6. Preserved the original content and wording, without rephrasing or rewriting.
