The first Proclamation was issued in Hongkong on Janu- ary 29th., 1841, by Captain Charles Elliott, who nominat- ed himself the first acting Governor, pending further in- structions from London?

When hostilities with China censed on January 20th., Cap- tain Elliott, who was Chief Superintendent of the Trado of British Subjects in China, addressed circular from Macao stating that the island of Hongkong had been coded to Great Britain. He landed here on January 26th, and three days later issued the first Proclamation, The Chin- èse population was then 6,000. He was afterwards British Consul General in Texas, and his name is perpetuated in the Colony by Elliott Battery and Elliott Crescent.
