Against these breaches of the status quo great difficulties experienced when such questions had to be referred to the Portuguese authorities of Macao,

There can be little doubt that the Chinese authorities at Canton can justify their complaints against Macao in this respect, and if anything could be done by His Majesty's Government to persuade the Portuguese Government to co-operate more liberally with Canton in this matter of extradition and in the suppression of smuggling, it would certainly conduce to the benefit of trade and general security in South China.

I also have the honour to enclose copy of a despatch from Admiral Moore, dated January 25th, informing me of the withdrawal of the increased patrol, and enclosing copy of a report by Commander Majendie on the Chinese Patrol Service which is considered to be satisfactory.

(Signed)

I have &c.,

J. N. Jordan.
