In reply to your Letter of the 7th Inst, respecting the passage
of Mr Blanshard, late Governor of 
Vancouver's Island from that Place
to Panama; I am commanded by my Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty to
state, for the information of Earl Grey, that the Admiral Commanding in
the Pacific has been acquainted that in case of any of Her Majestys
Ships visiting Vancouver's Island there will be no objection to a passage being afforded to Mr Blanshard, to any Port to which Her Majesty's Ship may be proceeding.
