the charge of having caused the emetcte, but also directed that official's
substitute to try, and on conviction to punish, all the persons who might
be charged by Mr. Manesty with active participation in the outrage, and
to make good to Captain White the material losses that he had sustained.
He declined, however, to discuss the restoration of the woman, professing
to consider that it would be contrary to the principles of his religion ;
and, when Mr. Manesty in reply refused to treat with him upon any
other basis, he broke off the correspondence altogether. Eventually in

the Government of B ombay with passages to Calcutta for himself and of
his suite on the ship " Upton Castle " which sailed on the 3rd of April.
The object of the Embassy is not recorded, nor the result; and it is
therefore net improbable that the duties of the Ambassador ware of a
purely ornameiital character, such as the offering of congratulations.
The principle governing the customs tariff of the Ottoman Empire with
reference to Great Britain continued to be that of the Capitulations, viz.,
that the duty levied should not exceed 3 per cent, of the market value of
the msrehandise ; but it bad been found convenient to assume fixed values
for aII classes of goods and to draw up a scale of authorised duties, by weight
and quantity, calculated from the fixed values on the 3 per cent, principle.
