Enclosure 3, in No. 3. Downing-street, 15 March, 1842.

Sib, — I have laid before Lord Stanley your letter of the .7th instant, in which you signify the approval of the Lords Commissioners of the Treasury of the proposed appropriation of the sum of £12,000 from the amount reported to have been realized -by the land sales at Auckland to the purposes of emigration, and intimate their Lordship's readiness to authorize an advance sof £6., 000 from the commissariat chest fund to meet the charges in this country, to be repaid to the commissariat chest in New Zealand. In reply, I am to acquaint you that Lord Stanley will issue instruction to Governor Hobson for the repayment of that advance without delay ; Lord Stanley will also direct the Governor to make arrangments for the repayment, out of the first monies at his disposal for the general purposes Qf his government, of the imprests and advances which have been made for the service of New Zea-

land from the Revenues of New South Wales, and will apprise Sir George Gipps that such instruction has been given, It does not, however, appear to Lord Stanley that there is any very near prospect that funds will be available for that purpose. I am, <fee. (Signed) J. Stephen. C. E. Trevelyan, Esq.
