instructions on the
subject of transportation. Confidential to the Governors, of the Admiralty, of Bermuda, and of Gibraltar, they are sent through the intervention of the
Colonial Secretary of Malta. The Lords of the Treasury also invariably communicate with the Governors of all the Colonies in this

and through
the same channel.
That there are
inconveniences in such
a system Lord Stanley
is fully aware,
but
they are in his Lordship's judgment more than
countervailed by
the
unity of purpose, the simpleness of
arrangement, and the
consequent subordination
which result from
it.
