Protection to Foreign Shipping.
The following Reply has been returned to the Memorial to the Lieutenant-Governor on this subject. It may serve to afford renewed assurance to Masters of Foreign Vessels that the Government and the mercantile community generally are united in a disposition to do every thing that is necessary and practicable for the protection of their interests. It will therefore be,—so far as it goes, or could go,—satisfactory to those most immediately concerned, and to those who
signed the Memorial with this single and commendable object in view, and who formed, we have little doubt, the bulk of those whose names gave it respectability : Colonial Secretary’s Office, Auckland, 21th Feb., 18b’3.
