His Lordship has directed me to request that you inform the Duke of Buckingham and Chandos that he does not see how it would be possible to object to the Governor enforcing against Chinese subjects by Proclamation.

I am, & Sir, Your most obedient humble servant

M. Elliot.

I am inclined to think it best merely to acknowledge the receipt of the Governor's despatch - unless it might be added that whilst Her Majesty's Troops are on their way.

The effect of the Proclamation, if the Chinese fort were to dispense with the aid of the British force's co-operation, would be to secure enforcement of the Royal Proclamation.
