Sir,
I am directed by Mr. Secreta-^r Morley to acKnowledge
the receipt of your letter. No. 13,845, dated the 8th May
last, on the subject of the interpretation furnished by
the French Government of the stipulation in their Memoran
dum of the 8th November as to Omanis in French service,
and to enclose, for the information of Secretary ^ir E.Orey^
a copy of telegrams to and from the Government of India,
from which it will be seen that they are of opinion that
the interpretation proposed by the French Government may
be accepted as satisfactory.
1 Mr. Morley concurs in this view on the assumption
that natives navi^atins dhows entitled to fly the French
flag under this special agreement will not have other
privileges than those conceded to masters and crews of
dhows entitled under the Award to fly the French flag,
unless they come under the category of persons " actually
in the service of the French,"referred to in Article IV
of the French Treaty with Muscat of 1844.
