I have no reason to apprehend that the outbreak of war in Europe will seriously affect the Australasian dependencies of the British empire. But having regard to the disturbed state of Europe, my Ministers thought it expedient to unite with the other Australian colonies, in a request to her Majesty's Government to send competent oflcars to report and advise upon the already arrived and have begua their an defences of our coasts. These officers have quiries, which cannot fail to be beneficial to us, although, I trust, it may be long before we are called upon to defend ourselves from an invading force.
