Despatch st° 177. I have not yet placed that dispatch on public record in the Colonial Secretary's Office, though it has been communicated to the Executive Council; and I now submit, with much respect, that it should not be so placed, on the grounds that (a) It would appear that full information respecting Dr Eitel has not been placed before your Lordship; and (b) that the publication of its contents at Hongkong would be likely to cause much injury to the authority and influence of the Colonial Office, which Colonists are apt to identify with the Imperial Government. It will be recollected that directions have been given that the official Correspondence with the Secretary of State shall be kept on record at the Colonial Secretary's Office, and that the Clerks in that Office should be, for the most part, not Englishmen but Indo-Portuguese and half-Caste.
