130 APPENDIX TO REPORT FROM SELECT COMMITTEE Appendix, No. 8, the slave trade in that quarter, might lose much of its efficacy through the jealousy of foreign Powers ; whereas, by inducing those Powers to join with us in a general scheme to that end, no such obstacles would arise, and the benevolent object in view might be realised. It will be for Her Majesty’s Home Government to decide whether the coalition here suggested is practicable, and, if not, to direct what ulterior measures on our part should be adopted for rendering more effectual the provisions of existing treaties. In the meantime, you will have opportunities during your mission for eliciting further informa tion on all particulars of the slave trade, and report the same direct to the Secretary of State for India, as well as to this Government, together with any recommendations for its suppression, which from acquired local experience, you may deem practicable and effi cacious. I have, &c. (signed) W. L. Andersoiif . Bombay Castle, 29 May 1860. Acting Chief Secretary. (Persian Department.) Translation of a Letter from His Excellency the Honourable Sir George Russell Clerk, K.C.B., Governor of Bombay, to his Highness Syud Thoweynee, Euler of Muscat,. dated 31st May 1860. A. C. I HAVE much pleasure in apprising your Highness, that arrangements have now been made for instituting the inquiries into the unfortunate differences which have arisen between yourself and his Highness your brother Syud Majeed at .Zanzibar, which are to precede the arbitration of the Eight Honourable the Governor General of India. Those inquiries have been entrusted to Brigadier Coghlan, our Resident at Aden, an officer in whom I place the highest confidence, and whom I have commissioned to report to this Government the result of his investigations. Your Highness will perceive in this appointment a satisfactory proof of the anxious desire of the British Government that its intervention should be exercised with perfect fairness and justice. As having been hitherto unconnected with the disputes pending between your Highness and his Highness Syud Majeed, Brigadier Coghlan’s investigations will be carried on with strict impartiality towards both pai ties ; moreover, his past experi ence of the Arab tribes at Aden, and the co-operation of the officers who have been associated with him in this commission, well versed as they are in the language, laws, and customs of the Arabs ; will be an additional assurance to your Highness that every pre caution has been taken to elicit such informations as shall enable the Right Honourable' the Governor General to decide with justice on your respective claims. Brigadier Coghlan proceeds immediately to Muscat, on this duty, and I commend him to your Highness as our commissioner, assured that you will not fail to receive him with the honour and respect due to his rank and office. Brigadier Coghlan on his arrival will install Mr. Hormuzd Rassam, an esteemed and trusted servant of this Government, as British agent to your Highness at Muscat, an appointment, which I am persuaded, will be highly acceptable to you, and during his residence there in that capacity, I anticipate your cordial co-operation with him in all matters connected with the interests of the British Government and its subjects within your territories. Brigadier Coghlan will then confer with your Highness on the object of his mission, and I would strongly urge on you the importance of placing implicit confidence in him in all your communications, reserving no information which may aid the Eight Honourable the Governor General in forming such a decision as may not only be in accordance with justice, but which in its results may tend to the re-establishment of peace between contending parties, and to the increased prosperity of all the subjects of his Highness the late Imam. Assuring your Highness that the British Government is now, as it has ever been, most solicitous to promote those objects throughout Oman and Zanzibar, I conclude with the usual salutations of respect. For the rest, &c. &c. &c. (True Copy.) (signed) Venayek Wassoodew, Oriental Translator to Government.
