This he could not avoid for under a reciprocal arrangement between the two Governments the other party to the dispute concerting the jurisdiction of the islands on giving notice to the other.\n\n4. On receipt of this letter, I informed Commodore Kutherford that the services of the Naval contingent would not be required, and I asked the Chinese Authorities to postpone the expedition proposed for the 9th instant. At the same time I sent Mr.Lellifax again to Canton to explain the situation, with the permission of H.M.'s Government, to the Chinese authorities and to leave them to come to all arrangement with the Governor of Macao for a joint Chinese and Portuguese expedition.\n\nThe Chinese expressed themselves ready to come to any arrangement which included the landing of Chinese troops. They expressed their regret at the same time that the British Naval contingent would not take part in the operations.\n\nThey also asked that Mr.Lellifax might be allowed to accompany their representatives to Macao to assist them with their negotiations with the Portuguese.\n\n5.",
