ample evidence of the fact. I have the honor to be Sir, Your most obedient servant (Sighed) William Fox. Principal Agent of the N.Z. Company. To:- The Honble, The Colonial Secretary. The letter sent down to-day has not yet been written. As Mr. Fox now expressly declares his desire that negotiations on the part of the Company, should cease, - I suppose it is unnecessary to communicate to him anything in the previous letter, until compared with the present one. I therefore forward both to His Excellency. (Signed) A. Domett. June 20th. 1850. The delay in Mr. McLean's arrival was out of the power of this Government to forsee or prevent. But I cannot help thinking Mr. Fox may justly complain of part of the affair. (Signed) A.D.
