Statement of actual and Probable\n\nExpenditure from -\n\nEnclosure No. 1 in Governor Sir Richard Graves MacDonnell's Despatch No. 793 of 15 Sept 1884.\n\nParticular\n\nAlthough the Estimates for 1870 propose nothing very remarkable or that appears to invite attention, they possess a special interest as showing that, after many difficulties, a tolerably sound financial state has been attained, and one which gives fair promise of permanence. No fleeting surplus is shown by disposal of the Colony's Capital, viz. its land - the receipts from Licensed Play Houses do not appear as part of the Revenue - and yet the permanent means of the Colony are made to meet all its liabilities and provide fairly, though not extravagantly, for the general demands of a Community in a state of progressive improvement.\n\nSo recently as 1867, the estimated surplus of the Colony's Assets over its Liabilities amounted only to $24,000, whilst of those, $60,000 were unavailable coins, which no creditor could have been compelled to accept, so that practically the Colony was bankrupt. The worst feature, however, of its financial position then, was not so much the diminishing surplus, as the fact that the Colony had been steadily dropping into this insolvent state from a condition of comparative affluence. Thus at the beginning of 1865, it possessed a bona fide surplus of $298,000 - at the beginning of 1866, one of only $184,000 - and at the commencement of 1867, an imaginary surplus of $24,000, but practically a deficiency of nearly $30,000.\n\nIt must be remembered also that in 1866, when I arrived, I found the Expenditure of the Colony increasing in proportion as its Income was diminishing - the worst of all conditions whether for States or individuals. So much was this the case that its actual Expenditure in 1865 exceeded its Revenue by $94,361, and in 1866 by $167,877. The Expenditure in 1867, however, was then decreased at once from $936,954 in the previous year, to $730,916 - but not without leaving the Military Contribution in arrear.\n\nThe Revenue was permanently raised by means of the Stamp Ordinance, which however did not come into operation till late in 1867 and thus the Colony began to right itself slowly - its Expenditure in 1867 being $128,584 within its Revenue, and in 1868 $142,794 - whilst in the latter year all arrears of the Military Contribution were paid off.\n\nProbably many suppose these results could only have been produced by using the fees received from the Police measure of licensing Gambling Houses under certain Regulations. That, however, is altogether a mistake. The Colony has recovered from its difficulties, paid its current expenses, and discharged all its heavy liabilities without using for those purposes one cent of the License fees in question.\n\nIt is undeniable, and I see no reason to regret it, that much assistance in other ways, as we shall presently see, has been derived by the Colony indirectly from those License Fees. It is, however, equally true that all its previous debts were paid, and its ordinary current expenditure met, as well as considerable Public Works carried on out of its own permanent Revenue. This would appear more clearly, if I could lay before you the Colony's account with the Special\n\n185", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-139 - Sir MacDonnell - 1869 [8-12].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 279996, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-140 - Public Offices - 1869", "page_number": 393, "title": "CO129-140 - Public Offices - 1869", "content_text": "Houghing\n\nW.0.4\n\nGovenors in Ir Tardonnell\n\nNo\n\nMINUTE\n\n11870!

The opinions \n\n10 \n\nThis Dubject \n\nthe liesh-informed persons deem to be \n\nthe \n\nfairly summed up be the subjoined \n\narticle retracted frond me of the English \n\nlished at Stoughing :- \n\nNewspapers published at \n\nThe China Ittail.\n\nHONGKONG, SATURDAY, JUNE 2, 1883.\n\nThe question whether war will, or will not, ensue between France and China is one of vital importance to all foreigners \n\nin the Far East. Personally we do not think it is at all probable that such a calamity will ensue; still it is a question that is fairly sur le tapis. Complications may arise, and in fact have already arisen, between the Governments of the two countries; China may assume a defiant attitude, and sounds of warlike preparations may be heard from Canton to the most northern limits of the Empire, but it is our conviction that the Peking authorities and their advisers will have sufficient good sense to stop at the Rubicon, and, while they may posture there for a while in magnificent defiance, the fatal stream will not be crossed.\n\nWar between France and China would mean the cessation of ordinary trade here and at the ports along the coast. There would be no trade with China while the warlike operations lasted, except in munitions of war and other supplies for the troops. The ports would be blockaded by French war vessels. Even now, a report from Paris states that a blockade is to be established along the Tonquin coast by twenty-four French men-of-war. English vessels, now trading to the Far East would not even find employment, in the event of war, by carrying troops and supplies between Europe and China, as doubtless the vessels of the Messageries Maritimes and the French transports would be found amply sufficient for the work. Business in this port of the world would be at a standstill while the war lasted. The only advantage foreign merchants in China would derive from a war to counterbalance their losses through the stoppage of trade, would be an improved state of affairs for foreigners and foreign trade generally in China after the struggle was over. Probably the Empire would undergo an entire revolution in every way. This is presuming that the French were successful. If the Republic abandoned the war on finding that it would cost her more money and the lives of more troops than she anticipated, the position of Europeans and European trade in China would become far worse than it is at the present moment.\n\nWe have said that the question of war or no war between France and China is fairly sur le tapis. It is not our opinion that there will be a war, but in Europe:\n\n2,\n\nit is quite clear, from recent telegrams, that a struggle between France and China is anticipated. One of the latest of Reuter's direct telegrams received here, for instance, states that \"the Times publishes a telegram in which it is stated that a rupture is imminent between France and China.\" This telegram is dated the 27th ultimo, and two days later another telegram was despatched announcing that \"three French ironclads have been ordered to Tonquin.\" Ironclads are not exactly the sort of war vessels required for operations in Tonquin; vessels of lighter draught would be more serviceable there, and the despatch of ironclads to these parts may certainly give rise to the supposition that the French imagine their war vessels may be required for other work than operations on shore. They do not require iron-clads to bring the Black Flags to reason. The force which was to have sailed from Toulon on the 29th ultimo will, however, be scarcely more than sufficient to drive the Black Flags back from Hanoi. According to the latest news from Paris brought by the mail, the total strength of the French expedition will be only 4,000 men and 12 guns.\n\nFrench operations in Tonquin so far certainly cannot be regarded as having been very successful. The French appear to have committed exactly the same errors as have brought disasters upon British troops in their recent campaigns against half-civilized people. They clearly underestimated the strength of the enemy, and their intelligence department seems to have been faulty. It was a brave act on the part of Commandant Riviere to rush across that narrow bridge, only wide enough for one man, in advance of his troops, but it was not the act of a prudent or able commander. At the other end of the bridge there was a dense jungle, filled, as it afterwards proved to be, with desperate Chinese armed with breech-loaders. As our Haiphong correspondent pointed out last night, it was the clear duty of the officer in command of the column to clear the jungle with artillery before sending a man across the bridge. The proper place for Commandant Riviere was also where he could direct the operations of his men, and not heading such an attack. If the men required leading, there were plenty of officers there for the work. The result of the sortie, with its lamentable results, will doubtless be a useful lesson to the French in their future operations in Tonquin.\n\n8", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-210 - Governor Sir Bowen - 1883 [6-7].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 323479, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-212 - Governor Sir Bowen - 1883 [10-11]", "page_number": 287, "title": "CO129-212 - Governor Sir Bowen - 1883 [10-11]", "content_text": "45\n\n282\n\nShanghai Bank alone, and permission was\n\n1842,\n\nI h\n\nof lees vale\n\ngiven to this\n\nto weene\n\nurtes\n\nthan one pound\n\nSterling.
