Iis W. Molesworth. This may suppose be conformed

but perhaps it is well to let Sir J. Bowsing understand that in regard to such an appointment as this, he is authorized to make provisional arrangements only, not as he seems to imply absolute appointments going to the expiry.

There are two propositions connected with the appointment of additional Interpreters.

Perhaps this Gentleman, who though knowing several languages has but slight acquaintance with Chinese, is rather fit for the secondary post than that of Chief Interpreter: It is at least possible that the Local State might be able to find a fully competent person for the first place.
