They
should refrain from overhauling
"Junks bound to and from Hong Kong
And that
that they
should
levy there
only
Export and import
import duties
Certain ports of Entry or Clearance
is one
to which
it may be expected
&
they
could
hardly
be expected to
accede.
In conclusion I am to state
that in Lord Granville's opinion it would not be desirable that
the Governor of Hong Kong should
open direct negotiations
as he
proposes, with the Viceroy of Canton,
as Her Majesty's Ministers
are especially
engaged
at
Peking at the present
time
in the discussion
of this
question with the Chinese Government

most obedient humble servant
