and there would have been security whatever against the hands of the scoundrels who have been concerned in the collection and Shipment of opium at Macao.

I beg to add that Her Majesty's letter in Council dated 13th June 1833, (Article 45) Distinctly recognizes the fact that Macao is not a dependency of China, and in the ambiguous position in which any British Authority is placed there, the Consular Agent being accredited to the Portuguese Government, I did not deem it right to invest him with the functions of Immigration Agent.

As I hope for an early opportunity of Communicating with the Immigration Commissioner on the whole subject matter, I avoid further details.

I have the honor to be, With the highest respect, Sir, Your Most Obedient Humble Servant, Whn Bradford
