I have laid before the Lords Commissioners of His Majesty's Treasury Mr. Campbell's letter of the 30th December last, with its enclosures on the subject of the desirability of reverting to the arrangement by which a British dollar was coined in India for use in China and the Far East, together with further correspondence on the same subject, copies of which were enclosed with the Foreign Office letter (13237) of the 25th ultimo.
