This Despatch I may advert to a point which, though it has no direct bearing on the question, it is on the general subject, it is as well to set right. As an additional reason for the interference of the Admiral, I have to state that you had been informed that the passengers in the "General Blanco" were to be landed at Twofold Bay in Victoria, which being distant from Melbourne, need not have been apprehended... Twofold Bay, though distant from Melbourne, is the Port of a large pastoral district, and was of sufficient importance to induce the Emigration Commissioners to despatch a ship to it direct from this country as far back as 1848.
...Lord Clarendon can inform you that nothing but death from starvation awaited them. I need scarcely say what such misfortune would have entailed.
