You will recollect tnat when I had the pleasure of an

tne subject of Zobarah and your wish to assist in defending it. On
taat occasion I informed you tmt thougn I would not interfere with
the despatch of reinforcements if purely for defence tnat it was
a matter for your own consideration as to the expediency of the
measure as affecting your interests and that the British Government
could not undertake responsibility for results if you interfered
on the mainland and got mixed up in complications tnere, I took
tne opportunity to repeat to your tne advice you nave bo often
received irom tne British Resident to keep clear of the feuds on
the mainland and especially to avoid giving offence to the Turkish
Government. *
0o7ernment of India, I am instructed by Goverrment tnat if you
any
ahould taxe^part in complications on tne mainland the British
Government will not guarantee you protection.

UoTernnent and I tnerafore naye deputed Captain Fraeer to proceed in
8 j0T ernment yeasel on a visit to you, with tnis letter, in order
*l»t you may fully understand the decision of Government.
