Great Britain's protection against piratical attacks is among the causes which have led to the happy results we are witnessing.

5. My exertions will be solely directed to securing for the Colony revenue derived from sources which shall in no respect interfere with its progressive prosperity and which shall be adequate, without assistance from the Imperial Treasury, for accomplishing the various objects of public improvements which are likely to be substantially and permanently useful. These will of course be the subjects of special Reports.

6. The topic of the public health occupies the constant attention of the Government. Exaggerated statements as to the mortality in the Colony having been industriously circulated and false reports as to the prevalence of the prevailing fatal epidemics, I caused investigation to take place, the result of which shows that for the months of February, March, and April the mortality average did not exceed 1 in 7000 per day.
