Government offices, Victoria, How Kow, 106 November, 1857.

I have the hour to acknowledge your

bucellency's confidential communication dated yesterday advising

me

of your

wish

to withdraw in aid of the operations against

Canton such military forces

as can be

spared concistently with the proper protection

of this Colorry.

I continue in the persuasion that the Colony has little to apprehend from foreign

invasion and that the dangers have not been

increased

His Excellency

Major
