A decision is arrived at. I believe that no one is more convinced than is Sir A. Kennedy of the great advantages which would accrue at this juncture, from some early and decisive action on the part of Her Majesty's Government to "unshackle" the port, and to remove the disheartening impression, under which the whole community of Hong Kong has labored for some years past, that they can expect neither sympathy nor support from home in their difficulties with the Chinese Government.

Ref: Je815.
I am much obliged to Sir J. P. Hennessy for going fully into this question. Sir A. Kennedy's opinion should be invited at once.
If Mr. Hart's proposals be accepted:
(1) Care must be taken to show in writing that the disadvantages of the plan are not overlooked, but they are outweighed by the advantages.
(2) We ought to get an abolition of this blockade.
(3) Care must be taken to prevent the mischief achieved among Sir J.P.'s men.
