Mr. Bonham to Consul Alcock. Sir, Victoria, Hong Kong, March 23, 1848. I HAVE this instant received your despatches of the 17th and 18th instant with their respective inclosures. Considering the instructions with which you have been furnished from the Foreign Office, dated December 18, 1846, and the limited power and duties of a Consul, I cannot but express my regret that you should have taken the steps you have seen fit to do, without previous reference to Her Majesty's Plenipotentiary, as und...oubtedly under the peremptory orders recently received from Her Majesty's Government, I should not have considered myself warranted in sanctioning any acts of an aggressive nature, whereby the peaceable relations at present existing between Her Majesty's and the Chinese Government could be by possibility endangered, and it cannot be concealed, that if the Taoutae of Shanghae, cannot or will not apprehend the principal offenders engaged in this transaction, and the Chinese grain boats attempt to uphold their undoubted right of pursuing their ordinary avocations, and of proceeding on their intended voyage, that a rupture must ensue.
