21 183. In the event of actual hostilities with any foreign enemy, or of any extraordinary employment of the troops for the maintenance of the public peace, such occurrences must be reported both to the Secre- tary of State for War and to the Secretary of State for the Colonies. 184. In the event of its being thought necessary to make or to advise any military convention with the officer in command of the troops of any foreign Power, a Governor commanding His Majesty’s troops will at the same time report to the Secretary of State for the Colonies and to the Secretary of State for War the measures which he may have so taken, or those which he may wish to recommend for adoption. 185. In case it should be necessary, in order to render the Governor’s military reports clear, to make reference, in his correspondence with the Secretary of State for War, to questions connected with his civil authority, he will in every such case at the same time bring such questions under the notice of the Secretary of State for the Colonies. 186. As any attempt to define the limits of a Governor's civil and military correspondence may, from the nature of the case, be imperfect and may omit to provide for some unforeseen exigency, he will best meet the requirements of the Secretary of State for War and of the Secretary of State for the Colonies by conducting his civil correspondence exactly as he would conduct it if he possessed no military command, and vice versa. The two functions of Governor and of Commander of the Forces, though for the time com- bined in the same person, should be regarded in this fespect as entirely separate, and the reports made by the Governor in each capacity should be made pre- Cisely in the same manner as if that combination of functions did not exist.
