No. 5

I have to acknowledge the receipt of your Despatch No 154 of the 14th of May containing a Report of the latest intelligence received
from British Columbia.

I have to convey to you my thanks for the information which is
supplied by your Despatch, as well as for your availing yourself of any chance opportunities of communicating to Her Majesty's Government the
most recent intelligence respecting a Colony about which so much
interest is felt in this Country.
