　　④实际上，在英国和印度的这些商人组织早就试图就中英关系对英国政府施加影响。例如，1836年格拉斯哥商人联合向巴麦尊请愿，要求英政府与中国交涉，取得与北京政府直接交往、改善英商生活条件、允许英商自建货栈、允许英商与行外商人交易、中国法律保护英人、开放厦门和宁波等港口、取得中国沿海一个岛屿、让英人在华实施海事裁判，共8个方面的权利。(见The Canton Press，November 19th，1836.)1837年2月伦敦“印度与中国协会”致函巴麦尊，要求在广州设立领事，建立法庭，派使节到北京，等等。(见The Canton Press，October 27th，1837.)

　　⑧他论证英国政府应该承担缴烟造成的损失，并指出东印度公司和议会议员们是鸦片的所有人；同时，力辩鸦片贸易无罪，故被《广州纪事报》引为同调。《中国丛报》也在此时为沃伦的书发表了书评。裨治文在评论中同意英国政府应该为被缴出的鸦片负责的观点，但驳斥了沃伦为鸦片贸易辩护的观点。见E. C.

C. B., "To the Editor of the Canton Register," in The Canton Register，October 8th，1839.)1840年6月16日，《广州纪事报》载文评论说，裨治文主编的《中国丛报》发表了一篇“公道的文章”，表明这一“受人尊敬的杂志对鸦片贸易问题采取了温和的和实际的立场”(The Canton Register，June 16th，1840.)。

　　(29)一个例外是，《广州纪事报》发表了一位刚从中国回到英国的读者的来信，信中公开为义律辩护，强调义律一人承担了太多的义务，而大多数在华英人对义律过于苛刻，不能体谅他的困难，对他的行动没有给予应有的信任。(见Justitia，“Captain Elliot Defended，”in The Canton Register，November 17th，1840.)但《广州纪事报》在刊登此信后，又用一整版多的篇幅，就义律长期以来的种种过错进行了详细的论述。(见Supplement to the Canton Register，November 24th，1840.)
