I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your Despatch
No 30 of the
10th March acquainting me that the Lords Commissioners
of the Admiralty, have at the recommendation of
Rear Admiral Baynes,
given orders for two
GunGun Boats to be fitted for service in
British
Columbia.
2. I have received this intelligence with extreme satisfaction,
as these vessels will be exceedingly useful to the Colony.
