No. 47

I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of Your Grace's
Despatch of the 16th of May last enclosing the Queen's
Proclamation for the maintenance of Neutrality pending the
hostilities existing between the United States of America and
the States which have seceded from that Confederation, and
conveying to me Your Grace's instructions that the utmost
publicity should be given to the said Proclamation.

I have in reply to inform Your Grace that I have duly
carried those instructions into effect.
