SIE.

I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your despatch stating that the Governor of Hongkong proposes to take over the New Territory on April 17th.

The Kowloon Kuan is Chinese territory, but, on account of the friendship existing between England and China, it has been leased to England. On April 2nd, when the Governor of Hongkong came to Canton to see me, I firmly insisted that the Customs Stations could on no account be removed, to which the Governor of Hongkong personally agreed. Just as he was leaving, I again said that it was not necessary to allude to the question of the removal of the Customs. The Governor of Hongkong also said that it was not necessary to mention this again, and that he had only to ask me to send soldiers to the place to restore order. I forthwith sent 800 men to take up their quarters at Kowloon, thus paying due regard to friendly relations.
