THE following Circular Despatch, with its
Secretary of State for the Colonies is published
for general information.

Circular.
Downing Street,
28th October, 1864.

SIR,—The Lieutenant Governor of Prince
Edward Island having submitted, for con-
sideration, an application from the United States
Consul, resident in that Island, for the recogni-
tion of his appointment of a gentleman as Act-
ing Vice-Consul during his absence for a few
days, I have to transmit to you, for your infor-
mation Earl Russell's opinion on the subject.

I have the honor to be,
Sir,
Your most obedient humble servant,
EDWARD CARDWELL.

Governor
Sir George Grey, K.C.B.,
&c., &c. &c.

Mr. Hammond to Sir Frederick Rogers.
Foreign Office,
September 28, 1864.

SIR,—I have laid before Earl Russell your
letter of the 19th instant, and the corres-
pondence therein inclosed, respecting an appli-
cation made to the Lieutenant-Governor of
Prince Edward Island by the United States
Consul in that Colony, for the recognition,
during his absence, of Mr. F. A. Flint as Vice-
Consul for the United States.

In reply I am to request that you will state
to Mr. Secretary Cardwell that Lord Russell
understands the application of Mr. Sherman,
the United States Consul, to have been, in
effect, that Mr. Flint might be recognised as
Acting Consul for the United States during
Mr. Sherman's absence from his post for twenty
days, and not as permanent Vice-Consul for the
United States in Prince Edward Island. Lord
Russell considers that the Governors of British
Colonies, if they see no reason to the contrary,
may accede to such applications, but that the
formal appointment of any person as Vice-
Consul for a Foreign Power in a British Colony
should be approved by Her Majesty's Govern-
ment before it is recognised by the Colonial
authorities.

I am, &c.,
(Signed) E. HAMMOND.
Sir Francis Rogers, Bart.,
&c., &c. &c.,

Colonial Secretary's Office,
Wellington, 23rd February, 1865.

THE following Bill, passed by the Provincial
Council of the Province of Wellington,
intituled:-

"An Act to amend the Representation Ad-
justment Act, 1864,"

which Bill was reserved for the signification of
the Governor's pleasure thereon, having been
laid before the Governor, His Excellency has
been pleased to assent to the same.

FRED. A. WELD.
