There is a good deal of uneasiness at

Shanghai lest the "bubonic plague" which has been

prevalent for some time past at Hongkong and is

in many respects similar to the "Black Death"

which reigned in London about the middle of the

At the request of Her Majesty's Consul

General I have therefore authorized putting in

force, if necessary, certain Sanitary Regulations,

of which I have the honour to enclose herewith a

copy to Your Lordship.

I have &c.,
