Sir.
I directed by Secretary Sir Kdward Grey to acknowledge
the receipt of your letter of the 26th ultimo relstiye to
the right under the Treaty of 1844, of OmRnis in the eervice
of French citisens to fly the French flag.
I am to stete in reply that fUr E. Grey will beer in
mind the suggestion of Mr. Secretary Morley contained in the
last paragraph of your letter, that it would be desirable to
indicate to the French Government the difficulties thfit would
arise if, in consequence of their action in the matter. His
Majesty's Government were to adopt a similar policy in respect
of Omanl employes of Sritiah Indian subjects resident in
Li a s«■ t territory, ^ir K. r rey is, howaver, of opinion that,
before acting on this propos 1, it would be preferable to
ait the reply of the French Government to the communication
which His Majesty 's Government are about to make to them through
the French Arabasssdor fet this Court, ^n<1 the Note to Monsieur
Cambon, in the terms of which .^r. I^orley hss now concurred^
will therefore be sent in > s it stanls.
I am, etc.,
