Minister in China information equally reliable as the above, many proceedings, which have hitherto surprised me, are at once explained. So far as concerns Engself and the negotiations said by the Consul to have been opened with me on the subject of the proposed Revenue Stations, there is not a particle of foundation for them. I do not even know Pang by sight, though W. Smith tells me that long ago he has paid more than one visit of ceremony. Of this, however, I am certain, that I never either directly or indirectly had any communication with Pang Yuk on any question of politics or business, and above all that I never interchanged any communications with him on the subject of the Revenue Stations to be established here.

I am surprised that Consul Robertson could have thought of putting forward such a suggestion, when he is well aware that my chief complaint in connection with the closing of Custom Frontiers around this Island was that, although many months were necessary to mature the scheme, which moreover principally affected the interests of this Colony, the general flame as well as mine.
