I have the honour to transmit to you the enclosed copy of a letter
from the Foreign Office accompanied by a copy of one from that Office to
the Admiralty conveying the opinion of Her Majesty's Government that the
regulations for the
observance of Neutrality between the American
belligerents should be strictly enforced within the limits of
Vancouver
Island.
These regulations have been communicated to your predecessor in
various circular despatches from this Office.
