Hongkong has taken place.

3.

My endeavour has been and is to support the

existing authority, which has shown itself alone able to main- -tain order in the Province, by preventing the Chinese in Hongkong

from rendering assistance to the rebels either actively or by

Britannic Majesty's Minister at Peking.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your most obedient,

humble servant,

Amaz

Governor,&c. .
