You are given to understand that it is intended to land these succa at a place on the Front called "Harcourt Bay", a considerable distance from Macao, which city there will be little probability of their reaching from the bay in question.

If this be true, nothing but death by starvation awaits these unfortunate people.

The case of the "General Blanco" differs from that of the "Levante" in this: The former is lying just outside this Harbor, whereas the "Levante", though she preceded outside, was induced to return, and was thus brought within the jurisdiction of the Colony.

With the "General Blanco", however, we have no interference, and we have been informed that she is reported to be full of papers, and a large number of natives of Chinese nationality.

It is given out that this ship intended to make for Macao in the first instance.

I have no alternative but to bring the above facts to the notice of Your Excellency, in the hope that Your Excellency will exercise your authority and prevent the prosecution of this disastrous voyage by directing the "General Blanco", which, as I have said, is reported to be full of people.

I have, &c.,
