Bagdad Affairs
- Scope & Content:
-
This part of the volume consists of copies of enclosures to a despatch from the Government of Bombay’s Secret Department to the Secret Committee, Number 72 of 1843, dated 2 October 1843. The enclosures are numbered 3-7 and are dated 1-21 September 1843.
The papers concern the conduct of the Political Agency in Bagdad [Political Agency in Turkish Arabia, i.e. Ottoman Iraq, based in Baghdad] regarding matters of trade, following complaints by British merchants residing in Bagdad that ‘native servants’ from the Agency have been carrying out extensive trade, to the detriment of the British merchants’ interests. Also covered is the appointment of Major Henry Creswicke Rawlinson as Political Agent in Turkish Arabia, as successor to Lieutenant-Colonel Robert Taylor. In addition, the papers discuss a request by the Pascha [Pāshā] of Bagdad to have a steam vessel placed at his service.
The correspondents are the Secretary to the Government of India and the Chief Secretary to the Government to Bombay.
