Most Illustrious and Most Excellent Sir,

I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of Your Excellency's Despatch of the 20th ult., informing me that the ship "General Blanes" broke away irregularly from the Port of Hongkong, such that she bound to Macao.

Whilst thanking you for this information, I have to state that the ship in question actually appeared at Anchor in Macao Roads yesterday morning. The Master landed, and applied at the Harbor Master's Office for a clearance, but this was refused him by my orders until he had produced papers authorizing him to proceed.
