my obligation to her Majesty's government for the recog-

the report of my colleague and myself has been exposod,
it should at length have been honoured by the approbation of
her Majesty's government.

motive. which induced me to undertake this service, nor the
high opinion you hose exprnted of Its value, to accept any
reward of the nature proposed, I beg respectfully to decline
any pecuniary recompense whatever—l have, &c.

"Sir,-1 have the honour to acknowledge your letter of
the 21,4 inst., in reply to wine of the 20th.
"1 ehould not have thought it necessary to add to this
correspondence had it not been for the interpretation which
you have put upon a passage in my letter, and which I feel
it to be due both to you and myself to correct.
" I certainly had no intention whatever to place a money
value on the advantages derived front your report, and, on a
careful perusal of my letter to you, I cannot help coneidering
that ouch a construction of its terms is somewhat strainW
