6. Now that I have returned, I am therefore gratified to find that I had not misled Her Majesty's Government. As regards the number of native vessels during 1871 and 1890, it results that so far from showing a decrease, it exhibits an increase in every item, and a large number of them.
Moreover, on comparing the total receipts of 1870 and 1890, the increase is less than 4,645, whilst even at the low and diminished rate of fees exacted, there is an increase to the Government of nearly 2,000 dollars. In my opinion, this is a comparatively small, though nevertheless substantial injury, as yet inflicted by the legitimate Chinese Blockade on our commerce. In proof of this, I enclose a comparative return of the Licenses, Special Permits, and general business transacted at the Carber Department.
Enclosure No. 7. Reverting now to the documents translated by Mr. Smith and forwarded in General Whitfeild's despatch of last November, I find that no mention is made of these documents in the Memorandum of correspondence regarding the new Opium Taxes.
