SIR, I have the honor to inform you that the
Queen's Exequatur, empowering the Chevalier Daniel
Ploos van Amstel to act as Netherlands Consul-
General for the British Colonies in Australia, New
Zealand, and Tasmania, to reside at Melbourne, in the
place of his brother, the late Chevalier J. W. Ploos

16th instant, and that the notification of Her
Majesty's approval of the appointment has appeared
in the Gazette of the 17th instant.

As this gentleman was appointed Vice Consul-
General in 1872, and has hitherto acted in that
capacity, I did not think it necessary to communicate
with your Government before agreeing to his being
appointed to succeed to the office rendered vacant
by his brother's death.
