Halifax, two from the Leeward Islands, two from Jamaica, one

Foreign Office, May 31, 1833.

SIR,-With. reference to your letter of the 28th of January,
1835, transmitting a petition from the masters of British mer-
chantmen, trading to the Baltic, to his Majesty the King of
Denmark, praying that additional measures might be taken for
rendering the navigation of the Sound more easy and secure.
I am directed by Viscount Palmerston to enclose to you, for
the information of the committee for managing the affairs of
Lloyd's, a copy of a despatch from Sir Henry Wynn, his Ma-
jesty's minister at Copenhagen, stating the intention of the
Danish government not only to lay down additional buoys, as
petitioned for, but also to erect a lighthouse on the Three Crown
Battery, and to station on the grounds a floating-light similar
to that at the Trendelan.

Copenhagen, May 23, 1836.

MY Loan,—ln reference to the Duke of Wellington's de-
spatch, No. 1, of the last year, transmitting to me a letter from
Lloyd's, covering a petition from the masters of British tiler-
chantment, trading to the Baltic, to his Danish Majesty fur ad-
ditional buoys in this neighbourhood. I have the honour to
enclose a note from M. de Koalibe, informing me that in con-
sequence of the representations which I have been directed to
make, the petition had been referred to a committee, who hav-
ing reported favourably to it, the Danish government had de-
termined not only to lay down additional buoys, as petitioned
for, but also to.erect a lighthouse on tha Three Crown Batter,
and to station on the grounds a floating-light similar to that at
the Trendelan.

Your lordship will, 1 am sure, duly appreciate this new proof
of the readiness which I have always found on the part of this
government to give every attention, and if found advisable to
put in execution any suggestion for the greater security of the
British trade on these coasts.
