THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE COLONIES.* IN 1768, a Secretary of State for the American Department was appointed, in addition to the two Principal Secretaries of State then existing; but this new office was abolished in 1782, when the duties of the two Principal Secretaries of State were divided into "Home" and "Foreign :" the affairs of Ireland and the Colonies devolving on the former. In 1794, a principal Secretary for War was appointed, to whose department the affairs of the Colonies were transferred in 1801. In 1854, a fourth Principal Secretary of State was added, for the affairs of the Colonies alone. SECRETARIES OF STATE FOR THE COLONIES, FROM 1854. Right Hon. Sir G. Grey, Bart. Right Hon.
