Berens to Lytton

I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of the Earl
of Carnarvon's letter dated the 15th instant, in which his
Lordship, by your directions, informed me that a Despatch has
been received from Governor Douglas stating that on the 3rd
November last, he had proclaimed the Revocation of the License
of the 30th May 1838 to the Hudson's Bay Company of
exclusive trade with the Indians so far as the same embraced
the Territories comprised in British Columbia.
