		Already a convert to the Admiralty's policy of fleet concentration, he negotiated a new naval agreement: mainly actuated by considerations of expense and practicability, he believed an Australian navy was for the future and pledged £200 000 to maintain the British squadron based on Sydney.

		When Lord Hopetoun invited Sir William Lyne, who was the leader of the Government in New South Wales at the time, to form Federal Government in 1900 the leaders of other colonies refused to support Lyne, who anti-federalist ideas were well known, and threatened not to federate.
		The incident, later styled the Hopetoun Blunder, was quickly corrected.
		Hopetoun turned to Edmond Barton whose leadership of the pro-federal movement was unquestioned and who was confirmed in office in March 1901.

		It was Hopetoun's job to nominate the first Prime Minister, who would hold office, briefly, until the infrastructure existed for the first Commonwealth elections.
		Hopetoun chose the wrong man. In what has become famous as the 'Hopetoun Blunder', he picked William Lyne, the recently-elected New South Wales Premier and prominent 'anti-Billite' (as opponents of Federation under the 1898 Constitution Bill were called), thereby almost causing a mutiny among those colonial leaders who expected to serve in the interim Cabinet.
		But Lyne gave way and, Hopetoun nominated Edmund Barton, the popular choice, the former New South Wales politician who had assumed the role of federationist leader and acted as both spokesman and statesman of the movement for almost the entire preceding decade.

		The Instructions require Hopetoun to have the Letters Patent read out at the ceremony of Inauguration of the Commonwealth on 1 January 1901 and to take the various Oaths of Office there in the presence of the Queen's other vice-regal officers, the Governors of the six colonies, and members of the colonial courts and parliaments.
		After his arrival in Sydney in December 1900 Hopetoun appointed the first Prime Minister, Edmund Barton (after the misstep of choosing the New South Wales Premier Sir William Lyne, an unpopular anti-Federationist, which became known as 'the Hopetoun blunder').
		As well as providing for the appointment by the Queen of a Governor-General to be her 'representative in the Commonwealth' (Section 2), the Constitution also covers the amount of salary (£10 000) and limitation on drawing any other salary from the Commonwealth (Sections 3 and 4).
