The King of Benin has continued to do everything in his power to stop the people from trading and prevent the government from opening up the country.
in order to fully open the region to British trade. I am convinced from information which leaves no room for doubt, as well as from experience of native character, that Pacific measures are now quite useless, and that the time has come to remove their obstruction.
