Sir It. Keppel suspended his regulations, thinking naturally that the time was not yet come for a comparative system. For this, but he tendered his regulations to Sir R. Alcock for consideration.

Sir R. Alcock declares that he expects the Chinese government to take part seriously in putting down piracy, but he agrees with Sir It. Keppel in the expediency of the regulations, which it appears on the whole are likely to be very satisfactory to the Chinese.

On this direction, Sir It. Keppel turned his mind back again, and submitted the regulations for approval, noting that they do not actually necessitate cooperation, though they are framed with it in view.

He observes that what has already been done has reduced piracy, and that as it appears that the system maintained by the British Consul had put down piracy, and that in discontinuance had led to its increase - the improvement appeared commendable.

It is the common opinion of Mr. Robinson and Sir R. Alcock that effective cooperation was not too much obtained prior to their time, and it appears to H.M.'s Government.

The cooperation has roused the Chinese Government.

1. A levitation (withheld till now)

2. A prohibition of smuggling, &c. (said not to be enforced)

3. Registration (not won by itself)

4. Joint Action ("in its infancy" - that he believed in by Sir R. Alcock)

Under H.M.'s Vessels, dependent aid was given.

It was alleged that D... as all foreign vessels saw no interest in the subjugation of piracy.

But the wind is turning to our advantage.
