I have the honour to report that it is the

intention of the French Government to open a Post

Office in the Amoy business quarter on the lat

Company in the buitish Concession. I am sending

for the representative of the firm and pointing

out to him that he is infringing the Conditions of

his leasc, which require the written ssent of 10

Britannic Majesty's Consul before an alien can

occupy any building on the British Concession.

Such assont I shall not give without, applying to
