§ MR. KIMBERI beg to ask the Secretary to the Admiralty whether instructions have been given to the captain of H.M.S. Serius, which is about to call at Port Madryn, in the Argentine Republic, to visit the Colony of Welsh settlers at Chubut; and, if not, will he give instructions to the captain to visit the Colony, and report upon the condition and progress of the settlement?
*SIR U. KAY-SHUTTLEWORTHThe senior naval officer on the South East Coast of America has orders to visit this settlement occasionally. It is not considered desirable to hamper his movements by giving more definite instructions unless for some special reason, which there is no reason to suppose exists at present.
