My telegram of erst January in cypher.

Portuguese Consul at Canton has informed the

Governor of Macao that two men of war have been

despatched from Canton to Macao. Presence of a

British man-of war would I suggest, be salutary.

Commodore however cannot act without instructions,

and (?Admiral) is away.

STUBBS.
