With reference to my despatch No.142 of

the 22nd of June, I have the honour to enclose

patch from Mr Brenan commenting upon certain state-

ments relative to his action at Canton, which were

reported to the Marquis of Ripon by His Excellency

the Governor of Hongkong in a despatch dated the

20th of June and published in the Hongkong Press.

Consul at Canton and the action of the Canton Vice-

roy had been on the whole as satisfactory as could
