Macartney's full squadron had sailed on to Macau, where they arrive on June 19, 1793.

Here, George Staunton disembarks to meet with officials of the East India Company.

The two Chinese Catholic priests who had been offered free passage to Macau depart here, along with one of the two priests from Naples, leaving only one Chinese interpreter with the mission.

For the next leg of the trip, Macartney and Dundas intend to avoid Guangzhou altogether.

Instead of proceeding overland from here, the plan is for the embassy to continue by sea to Tianjin, the closest major port to Beijing.
