After careful inquiry, we consider that (6.)
this establishment, which is slightly less
than that proposed by Sir Bartle Prere, is
indispensable for the proper fulfilment of
the Political, Consular, and Slave Trade

The establishment which has hitherto (7.)
existed is quite inadequate for the efficient
