Colonial Despatches

I have this morning received from Governor Seymour a telegram, dated at New Westminster the 7th instant, of which the following is a Copy. I have acknowledged its receipt; and, in reply to my enquiry at the Telegraph Office as to the cause of the delay in its transmission to me, I aminformed informed that, until the 10th of June no message from the Pacific Coast had been received since June 1st, owing to the tearing down of the Wires by the Indians.


From New Westminster Via San Francisco dated 7th received 13th June 1865.
