- Scope & Content:
-
This part of the volume consists of copies of enclosures to a despatch from the Government of Bombay, Secret Department, to the Secret Committee, Number 26 of 1850, dated 1 May 1850.
The enclosed papers, dated 28 November 1849 to 14 April 1850, concern affairs in Aden and the Red Sea. They mostly comprise despatches from Captain Stafford Bettesworth Haines, Political Agent in Aden, to the Government of Bombay. These despatches often contain enclosures consisting of correspondence from diplomatic and naval officers in the Red Sea region. Also included is correspondence between: the Secretary to the Government of Bombay; the Marine Board of the Government of Bombay; Commodore Stephen Lushington, Commander-in-Chief of the Indian Navy; and the Government of India.
Several matters are covered by the papers, including:
- The death of the Ottoman Governor of Hodeida [Al Hudaydah]
- The poor state of British trade at Red Sea ports under Turkish [Ottoman] rule and suspected reasons for it
- The removal of Captain William Lowe as Senior Naval Officer, Aden, due to his refusal to grant Haines's request for the services of East India Company Ship Elphinstone.
Enclosure Nos. 15-16, listed in the abstract of contents as copies of the Bombay Overland Times and the Bombay Overland Telegraph and Courier dated 1 May 1850, are recorded as missing in a note dated 31 October 1906.
