Colonial Secretary's Office,
Wellington, 30th December, 1873.

THE following Despatch, with Enclosure, from Her
Majesty's Principal Secretary of State for the
Colonies, is published for general information.

JOHN BATHGATE,
(in the absence of the Colonial Secretary).

[CIRCULAR.]
Downing Street, 4th March, 1873.

SIR,—I transmit to you, for information in the
Colony under your Government, copies of a cor-
respondence between the Foreign Office and this
Department respecting the reorganization of the
limits of the districts of German Consuls in the
Colonies.

I have, &c.,
KIMBERLEY.

The Officer Administering
the Government of New Zealand.

Lord Enfield to the Under Secretary of State,
Colonial Office.

Foreign Office, 18th January, 1873.

SIR,—I am directed by Earl Granville to request
that you will inform the Earl of Kimberley that
the German Ambassador states that his Government
has decided to assign definite official districts to the
German Consuls in the British Colonies and foreign
possessions. The annexed list shows the extensions
and new delimitations proposed to be made in the
Consular Districts situated in the Colonies. It will
be seen that the alterations from the existing
arrangements will be considerable, and Lord Granville
would be glad to be favoured with the Earl of Kim-
berley's opinion as to whether it would be desirable,
under the circumstances, to issue fresh exequaturs
to the Consuls affected by the changes. I am to
observe that the German Government is quite ready
to issue fresh commissions, if fresh exequaturs should
be required.

I have, &c.,
ENFIELD.

The Under Secretary of State,
Colonial Office.
