No. 2.

Sir H. Parkes to Earl Granville.-(Received December 3.)

(No. 226.) My Lord,

C o. 21726371

RECP

REGO 19 DEC 94

Peking, October 15, 1884.

I HAVE to report that, on receiving yesterday from the Administrator at Hong Kong a telegram stating that "Informant says 3,000 taels sent from Canton to be employed in destruction of Messageries Maritimes steamers in harbour,” I immediately forwarded the inclosed representation in writing to the Tsung-li Yamên, calling on them to at once take steps to stop the execution of such an atrocious scheme, which, I observed, was clearly the outcome of the Proclamation of the high authorities of Canton of the 15th ultimo.

I have, &c.

(Signed)

HARRY S. PARKES.
