and should decide this policy, I wish to point out that the petition which evoked that denunciation, is petition from laborers in Penang, who, they state, had been shipped from "Macao, and the anchorage of Kwang-Chow-Wan, just north of it." I cannot, I therefore, regard such a petition, if all its statements be true, as an indiscriminate, even prejudicing, denunciation of Emigration conducted from other Ports under very different auspices.
