Peking, May 29/66
I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of Y.E.'s dispatch No. 323 of the 16th May concerning measures to be taken in concert with the Chinese flotilla for the suppression of piracy.
"It is clear from the letter before us that to British Cruisers is due nearly all that has hitherto been done in this direction, and the damage inflicted on the pirates has undoubtedly served greatly to check the development of piracy to yet larger proportions than it has yet reached. It is equally true that neither the naval forces of other foreign Powers nor the Chinese flotilla have manifested any relative desire to cooperate or shown much interest in the subject.
But we ought not perhaps to overlook the fact that nearly 2/3 of the whole foreign trade is British, and no other nation, unless it be the Americans, have any considerable share of the other third.
