I think it may be convenient to inlorm the Governors ol‘ Colonies generally. in a Circular Dcspatch. of the following principles relative to the appoint- ment of Consuls and Consular ()flicers. The appointment ofa Consul, Vice Consul, or Consular Agent in any British Colony. intended to be permanent. must. in order to be rccogn‘zed as permanent, be submitted lor the sanction of Her Majesty’s Government. But an ap- pointment made by a Foreign Consul of a temporary character. such for instance as that of a person to discharge the duties of a Consular Officer. deceased. or going away en leave. may, if there is no obvious Colonial objection to the individual pr0p0>€d to be appointed, be accepted by the British Authorities in the Colony. pending the result ofa reference to Her Majesty’s Governmrnt as to whether such temporary appointment may be recOgnized. I have the honor to be, Sir. Your most obedient Humble Servant, (Signed) BUCKING HAM & CHANDOS.
