But His Excellency is glad to find, from the contents of the enclosure to your second letter, that the Viceroy expresses his regret for what occurred, while stating that no Chinese Steamer has ever been permitted to invade British territory Hongkong with a view to searching for contraband goods.
The Officer Administering the Government requests that you will convey to the Viceroy His Excellency's ready acceptance of the apology offered, and the assurance that there will be no further invasion of British territory.
His Excellency is anxious, as is the Viceroy, to maintain amicable relations between the Chinese Government and the Government of this Colony, and is glad to accept, as a proof of the Viceroy's desire in this respect, the regret expressed for what took place.
I am to convey to you His Excellency's sincere acknowledgments for the support you have given him in maintaining the inviolability of British rights.
