In return thereto I have the honor to acquaint Your Grace, that the only service for whichthis this Government has drawn Bills upon the Imperial Treasury has been in connection with San Juan, principally to defray the cost of erecting Barracks for the Royal Marines, and to pay the extra Pay granted to them by Her Majesty's Government; accounts for the whole of which up to the 31st March past have already been transmitted by me to Your Grace.

3. I will take care in future, in compliance with Your Grace's instructions, that the service on account of which Bills may be drawn shallbe be distinctly marked on the Bills themselves.
