I am commanded by My Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty
to send you, herewith, for the information of Mr Secretary
Cardwell, and with reference to My Letter of the 30th
Ultimo, a Copy of a Letter of the 14th June, No 68,
from Vice Admiral Kingcome, enclosing a Copy of a Letter of
the 1st June, from His Excellency, Mr Seymour, Governor
of British Columbia, respecting the Massacre of White Men
who were working on the Road from Bute Inlet to Cariboo,
and reporting the arrangements made by the Governor and himself

I am further to acquaint you that in a subsequent Letter
of the 15th June, No 69, Vice Admiral Kingcome reports
