With reference to my despatch No. 5 of the 2nd of February I
transmit for your information copies of a correspondence with the Board
of Admiralty relative to the transfer of the Land and Buildings at
Esquimalt Harbor to the Naval Department when no longer required for
the use of the Oregon Boundary Commission:
and also with respect to an Indian Reserve of about 50 acres which the Lords Commissioners
are desirous to possess.
