Information was received yesterday concerning that order had been restored. I shall be glad, however, to learn from you whether you require any further assistance, which this Government, I may only say, would promptly render as far as lies in its power.
As the telegraph line between this and Canton has been broken down by the gale of the last few days, I may possibly be able to help you by forwarding telegraphic messages from this Colony.
I have this morning received Your Excellency's Despatch No.5 of yesterday's date. H.M.S. 'Swift' and 'Espoir' have arrived, and are anchored off the settlement. I have already written to the Commodore to thank him for the promptness with which a naval force was despatched.
