Copy of a Retort of a Committee of the IIoNOURAni.E the Privy Council, approved by His
Excellency the Governou-General, uu the 15th day of April, 1872.

I The Committeo of the Privy (.^ouncil liave had under their consideration the Eai'l of Kiinborley's
^ Despatch to your Excellency, dated the ISth ultimo, connmniicatinii' the views of Her Majesty's Imperial
M Government on the proposition submitted in the Report of the Privy Council, transmitted in your
Excellency's Despatch of 22n(l January last.

Froin the Despatch it appears that ller Majesty's Government are of opinion that the most convenient
course will \m that it should be provided in the Acts to be |)assed by the Dominion Parliament to give
f'll'ect to the Treaty, that such Acts should only come into force ujum tlie issue of a Proclamation by the
Governor-General in Council bringiufr them into operation ; that on their part Her Majesty's Government
will engage that when the Treaty shall have taken efl'ci't by the issue of such Proclamation, tliey will
i propose to Parliament to guarantee a Canadian Loan of i!2,5(X),000. Such Loan to be ap])lied to the
j purposes indicated by the Council, namely, the construction of the railroad through British territory from
(Janada to the Pacitic, and the imiirovcment and enlargement of the Canailian canals ; and to be raised at
the same time and in e(iual proportions with the Canadian unguaranteed Loan for the same objects, on the
understanding that Canada abandon all claims on England on ixccount of the I'euian Raids.

The Earl of Kimberley further observes that Her Majesty's Government will enable the Canadian
' Govemment to assure the Dominion Parliament that any recommendation made by Canada to terminate
I the Articles of the Treaty immbered 18 to 25 inclusive, and likewise Article 30, in conformity with
Article 33, will be acted on ; that they have no liesitation in declaring that the greatest deference would be
; pal<l to the expression of the wishes of the Dominion, signified by Addresses from both Houses of the
l)ominion ParliauuMit. and that those wishes would certainly be attended to, subject of course to the neces-
sary reservation of ller Majesty's discretion to take into consideration, in the interests of the whole Empire,
I the state of ller relations with Foreign Powers at the jiarticular juncture.

The Committee eif thi^ Privy Council feel that although ller Majesty's Government have been unable to

accede to their proposition in full, it is nevertheless their duty, in the interests bolh of (Canada and the

Empire at large, to accept the modified projjositiou of the Earl of Kimberley, and they will accordingly be

prepared to propose to thi> ('anadian Parliament the measures necessary to give effect to those lauses of

I tlie Treaty relative to Canada.
