Mr Wade to Mr Hughes
You are informed that Consuls will be appointed. You must proceed very cautiously, as the quid pro quo, should be obtainable,
Copy of a despatch from the Admiral to the Agent regarding the same matter is enclosed.
271 - You should not press for any concession that will exclusively benefit Hong Kong: such for instance as that made by the latter part of Article 8 of Sir R. Alcock's Convention, rather than any other.
You will not fail to keep me fully informed of whatever may pass between you and the General, or the government of the Colony.
