The Colonial Government and his Excellency will be at liberty to leave her as fully at the disposal of that government for the purposes of maritime police.

(signed) Peter

His Excellency the Governor

I saw Sir A. M' Culloch on Monday. He said he thought his gunboats were well manned to do the work effectively. I asked him about his rigging at this station. He said each was to be manned by about 100 men.

He said also that an additional man-of-war was just off Pointe de Galle, on her way to the Colony.

I told him I thought the matter was partly Colonial & would be pressed on the government.

That the Admiralty should understand this.

That the Admiralty should maintain the squadron (deducting from the contribution of £20,000).

That the Colony should pay to the Imperial Government the balance.

and I wrote to the Admiralty on the subject. This was lost, but no draft was kept.

Suggestions were made to the Governor attending to it.

30 June.

that the vessel will be commissioned in order that she may be at the disposal of the Colonial Government for the suppression of piracy and other Colonial purposes. Although therefore the Admiral, as being the officer responsible to the Government for operations affecting our relations with Foreign Powers, will retain a voice on the mode of employing the vessel - especially when out of Hong-Kong Waters - yet he will not be at liberty to employ her himself without the concurrence of the Colonial Government.
