With reference to your letter 41562/07 of December 20th last, I am directed by Secretary Sir E. Grey to transmit to you, to be laid before the Secretary of State for the Colonies, a copy of a despatch from His Majesty's Minister at Peking stating that the Chinese Government have requested that the Straits Settlements Authorities and those of other British territories near China who have not already done so may issue enactments prohibiting the publication of matter calculated to excite dissension in China.
I am to express Sir E. Grey's hope that the request of the Chinese Government may be complied with if the Earl of Crewe sees no objection.
