I have the honour to transmit for your information and consideration the enclosed copy of correspondence which has passed between this Government and His Britannic Majesty's Consul, Saigon, relative to the payment of Government telegraphic messages.

2. This Government is of course fully prepared to defray the cost of telegrams received from British Consuls if His Majesty's Government decide that such payment should be made; but in view of the facts that only two Consuls, so far as I am aware, have ever made such application to this Government, and that during the past few years, at least, there is no record of any such disbursements having been made by this Colony, I am of opinion that the matter is one which should be referred to you for decision. I may mention that the Consulate-General at Canton, with which this Government exchanges a larger number of telegraphic messages than with any other Consular Agency, appears to have sent in no such accounts to be discharged by Hongkong.
