appointment.
Since that date no further steps have been taken, and Mr. Burrows is not at this moment confirmed permanently in the Office. Such being the state of the case, I think it right to inform you that it is understood to be Mr. Burrows' practice to give flags to his own and other vessels with little discrimination, and greatly to the detriment of lawful commerce, in these seas.
Lord Elgin's attention having been called to the irregular use of foreign flags in the ports of China, I venture again to revert to the subject, especially as Mr. Burrows is not a New Granadian, but an American citizen, and as the Government of New Granada may not be aware of the extent to which permission is given for the use of the flag of that Republic.
I have the honor to be,
With the highest respect,
Your Most Obedient Servant,
