Proposals the Admiral Sir H. Seymour agrees.

When the governor visited Caution last summer we instructed him that he must not do so again without Mr. Chamberlain's approval; but for the present purpose I think approval should be given.

[The vast mass of Enclosures relate principally to acts of piracy committed a year ago: the remainder relate to abortive proposals on the part of the late Viceroy & Acting Viceroy for the suppression of piracy].

Copy of Despatch to Admiralty. We have sent it to the other, I say Mr. Chamberlain proposes with their Lordships' concurrence to approve the Governor's suggested visit to Canton & his proposal to arrange that the Gunboats at Whampoa may be used in the crusade against the pirates.

[Also sent copy to Admiralty in original: asking them to send it when done with to Admiralty for formal return to this department]. P.C.M. 22/2

[See also Sir H.B.'s letter]. Sir H.B. naturally demurred to Li Hung Chang's suggestion that the West River Inhabitants should be exterminated!
