Republics, the Governor of Hong Kong adopted towards the Spanish mail Boats carrying the public correspondence to and from the Philippine Islands; and to request that you will lay this note before the Earl of Carnarvon and more. It is for Lordships to favour Lord Stanley with his opinion on the anniversary which should be returned to the application of the Spanish Minister.

The Spanish Minister has made this application. Me... Si Gene... most obedient Humble Servant. Ex Garland undoubtedly most probably has some connection with Sir R. Mr. proceedings in the case of the S. Filomena (6502).

The Governor writes of that Vessel as a Belligerent Cruiser & treated her as such, but she returned to Hong Kong to take up the Manila Mail. Our Consul also speaks of "Vessels charged with the Conveyance of Public Correspondence" as distinct from Navy tails, inferring therefore the Spanish mails are carried by Vessels of War & not by bona fide Mail packets. To know how the strict application of the regulations should be relaxed without giving rise to very awkward questions - W.R.

Foreign Office should have response to this letter of Jun 25. in continuation of this by Muiston is treated as Superior in the Favendé, although this letter is sigette.
