commit themselves in any way by giving advice to the Imam respecting his
conduct towards the French. They however requested the sentiments of the
Governor-General as to the communication to be made to His Highness on the
subject.
321-N. His Lordship informed them in reply that in his opinion the ques
tion was one with which the British Government had no concern, and that
pending the war between France and England the Imam was bound by
Treaty to refrain from negotiating with their enemies, but that under existing
circumstances His Lordship was of opinion that as regards such questions,
Government could not with propriety exercise any influence,

ment had decided that the British Government could exercise no interference
to the matter as the British and French nations were at peace.
