PEKING, 17th February, 1865.
SIR, It is extremely desirable that every precaution that is legally practicable should be taken against communications tween Foreigners and disaffected Chinese. You will therefore inform the Foochow authorities that you are directed to pport them in any measures they may adopt for the due surveillance of British vessels entering and leaving the port of Fochow, or other parts of the anchorage of Pagoda Island.
You will further issue a Notification informing all Masters of British Vessels that, until further orders, they will be required both on entering and clearing out of port to hand into the British Consulate a return of the passengers on board or sout to be shipped on board their vessels, and that the penalty of omitting to hand in such a report, or of handing in a false report, is declared in virtue of the powers vested in me, as Chief Superintendent of Trade for the time being, to be a fine not exceeding the sum of One Hundred dollars for each separate offence.
You will decide and notify within what number of hours after a vessel's arrival at Pagoda Island or off the City, also within what number of hours before departure from either Anchorage, the Passenger Return must be handed in. Small vessels Lescending the river ought to be boarded off Pagoda Island by a duly appointed employé of the Chinese Government provided with a printed notice signed by yourself, to the effect that he is authorized to board the vessel; if necessary to search her for arms and men; and if he find matter of suspicion, to detain her until he can communicate with you.-Your obedient Servant,
(Signed,) THOMAS FRANCIS WADE.
