Her Majesty, after hearing what the delegates had to say, regretted that she must refuse to alter the position.

Lord Ripou replied that owing to the Convention with tlie Transvaal, it was impossible to declare a protectorate unless the Boers assented. If the couutry remained independent, tho Boers would be certain to mako it tho object of filibustering expeditious.
