With reference to äir Miles Lampson's

despatch No. 8150 of November 29th, I have the honour

to report that in each of my last two conversations

with the Minister for Yoreign Affairs, on December 8th

and 13th, I have mentioned the subject of the suppression

of piracy at Bins Bay. On the first occasion Baron

Tanaka responded vaguely, as if the subject was not

familiar; on the 18th instant, he was still rather vaÆTUM

but æxid that he had no objection to the proposals of

the Ministers at Peking. It is evidently not be

personally who is interested in the question of piracy

at Haichow,

2. A copy of this despatch has been sent to HÁS

Kajesty's Minister at Peking.

I have, etc.,

(384. ) JOHN TILLEY.
