I have laid before Viscount Palmerston your letter of the 7th
Instant, stating that Earl Grey wishes to Know whether Lord Palmerston sees any objection to Mr Adams, Her Majesty's Chargé d'Affaires in Peru, being authorized to receive, on behalf of the Hudson's Bay
Company, payments for grants of Land, and to his giving Certi==ficatesCertificates of
purchase to Emigrants desirous of settling in Vancouver's Island. And I am, in reply, to request that you will state to Earl Grey, that Lord
Palmerston sees no objection to Mr Adams  being authorized to act on behalf of the Hudson's Bay Company in the manner above stated. —
