His Majesty's Consul at Canton has reported

by telegraph that on July 6 the British launch "Ki Cheung"

NO was pirated at a place some nine miles from Canton. lives were lost but the losses of property belonging to the orew and passengers amounted to a value of about four

hundred dollars.

I have the honour to request that urgent instructions

may be sent by telegraph to the Acting Viceroy to effect

the imediate arrest of the pirates concerned, and to pay

over at once to His Majesty's Consul General full compen-

sation for the losses, of which a list will be furnished

to His Excellency by Mr Mansfield.

If this is not carried out at once, I shall be obliged

to submit the case by telegraph to His Majesty's Government

for such action as they may deem necessary.

Soliciting the favour of an early reply,

I avail %0.

(signed) J.F. Jordan.
