I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of the telegram from the Tsungli-Yamen, which you left at the Foreign Office on the 22nd. instant complaining of the expulsion of the Chinese troops and officials from the city of Kowloon and the occupation of Shamchun by a British force.

The following brief statement of what has occurred will explain the action which has been taken by the Governor of Hongkong in this matter with the entire approval of Her Majesty's Government.
