have been personally engaged4n the operations on shor
and afloat in boats, but it must be remembered that the
duties and the fatigues Of -Corrimander.Pritefiard; of
the Blenheim, and of those who remained- on board
their respective ships, were increased in the same ratio
as their numbers were diminished, and that the ulti-
mate success is the attainment of the whole body, each
working in his particular sphere. The names of many
will be seen who have already distinguished
them3elves at Chuenpee, Anunghoy, Quantong, and
the many affairs in the Canton river, and no doubt.
have already. like their brother officers at Acre, been so.
fortunate as to secure their country's notice. Never was.
there a finer set of zealous, able commanders. Com-
manders Belcher end Warren have only continued in
that path of able and judicious service on which they
have to long travelled—their own services will always
attract attention. Of the Lieutenants, Lieutenant J.
Pearce, .Lieutenant Goldsmith, Lieutenant 'Watson,
Sir F. Nicholson, Lieutenant Morshead, first of their
respective vessels, may perhaps be named without in-
jury to all others, who well played their parts ; to
Lieutenant Kellett, of the Starling, I am much obliged;
and Lieutenant Mason, of the Algerine, has won his
promotion by a long series of gallant and brave services.
I beg to acknowledge the zeal and assistance I have had
from every Captain and officer of the squadron whom
I have had-the happiness to command.

PUBLIC NOTICE TO HER MAJESTY'S SUBJECTS.
Macao, June 10, 1841.
Her Majesty's Plenipotentiary thinks it necessary to
warn all her Majesty's subjects that he considers the en-
trance of British shipping within the river under present
circumstances imprudent and unsafe, and recommends
that they should forthwith proceed to Hong Kong.
He has further to declare that any attempt of the
Chinese authorities to interfere with, or obstruct the
freedom of trade and intercourse with Hong Keng will
be answered with a close blockade of the port of Canton.
