1. I have now the honor of completing the information which I have been able to place before Your Lordships, rather than from any desire to make or invite any comments thereon. Indeed, the Preventive Service Regulation in force at the Customs and Letting Station (forming an enclosure in Consul Hughes' letter of the 24th January), contains nothing to which I need specially refer, for they are such as would be expected if the regulations long promulgated for the guidance of those in charge of the Chinese Stations were adhered to.
4. I shall, however, expect the fullest support from the Offices of Her Majesty's Diplomatic Service in seeing that the Chinese deputies to carry out the orders necessary for the collection of the duties exercise no power beyond that which is legally entrusted to them, and which is consistent with the treaties and usages.
