I referred these papeta for the consideration of the Admiralty, and I have now to scquaint you that in the opinion of Her Majesty's Government the Chamber of Commerce have no walld ground of complaint against the Vice-Admiral,

The Commander-in-chief of the Naval forces on the station must be ́leh to judge of what is practicable on any occasion on which the assist- ance of Her Majesty's ships is sought far, and a careful perasat of the papers submitted by you does not lead Her Majesty's Government think that the Vice-Admiral's discretion was not soundly exercised in the case in question,

In future may representations which the Chamber of Commerce may wish to make in regard to the action of the Admiral should be addressed in the first instance to the Governor of the Colony in accordance with ordinary usage.
