 | | The Government of Newfoundland will be invited to send Delegates to Quebec, to unite with the other British North American Provinces, in considering the question of a Federal Union. |
 | | After mature deliberation, the Council were of opinion that the invitation to the Convention should be accepted, but in such a manner as not to bind the Government or the Legislature to any ulterior proceedings, and the Attorney General was directed to send the following Telegram in reply to Mr. |
 | | We shall be happy, however, from respect to your Government, to send Delegates, if possible, but having reference to former communications between the Imperial and the Local Governments, and in the absence of such information as the Governor General's Despatch may afford, without authorising them in any way to bind either the Government or Legislature. |
