While Mr.. Campbell sailed on the 18th, with q
verbal and informal summary of his instructions,
the formal document Itself was only drawn up on
the I'D, and on that day entered on the records
of the Prvy Council, SO that he would hardly be
prepared before the 4th or 9th to meet tho head
Of the Colonial Department; and even then the
change from Earl Granville to Lord Kimberley,
and the excitement consequent on the breaking
out of European war, would be sure for some
time to delay negotiations. aN Ntl..u a7

$4,000,000 to 100000 annually, and as the
noxious system Of imperial guarantee is to be
