Appendix, No. Decision of the Government of India. 192 APPENDIX TO REPORT PROM SELECT COMMITTEE 8. to^ s7uÄv" pel tribes^ ofdecision will exercise a very salutary effect on the maritime f^ Brigadier Coghlan, that a duly qualified British Agent be appointed to Muscat. His Excellency in Council very heartily concurs in all that Brigadier Coo-hlan has urged upon this subject, with the exception that he is not inclined to think that bene- ht will arise fr^ the proposed arrangement of making the Agent at Muscat entirely inde pendent of the Resident in the Persian Gulf. But he thinks that for the present the inde pendence now existing should be maintained, and he will hereafter have the honour of proposes for the improved arrangement of our several agencies at Aden, Zanzibar, Muscat, and Bushire. 24. Brigadier Coghlan concludes his valuable report with a warm and well-merited expression of his gratitude to the Bey. Mr. Badger. The Honourable the Governor in Council would earnestly commend this accomplished scholar to the iirotection of the Bight Honourable the Governor General. It would be very difficult to over-estimate the solid usefulness of Mr. Badger’s services during his long residence in Aden. The requisition for his presence with the Persian Expeditionary Force, and for his association with the Zanzibar Commission, indicate the high opinion of his ability entertained by officers so well qualified to judge as Sir James Outram and Brigadier Coo-hlan This Government has recently suggested to Her Majesty’s Secretary of State the^ropriety of erfrag,ig the study of the Arabm language and literature in England, bytheÁtaWish- ment of a Professor s chair in one of our seats of leaiming. The Honourable the Goveimor in Council would solicit the support of the Bight Honourable the Governor General to us lecommendation and his advocacy of the pre-eminent claims of the Bev. Mr. Bado-er to the distinction of being the first professor. ® 25. In committing this important case to the final decision of the Bight Honourable the Governor General, the Honourable the Governor in Council feels it his duty to submit to li^ Eordship s favourable consideration the valuable services of Brigadier Coohlan. That officer IS about to retire, on account of impaired health, temporarily, it may be perma- nently. from trie important position which he has long held with such conspicuous ability at Aden. Ihe capacity and resource which he has exhibited in many difficult coniunc- ^res have elicited the cordial acknowledgments of the Government of India, and the close of a castinguished career. The late Lord Elphinstone recommended Brigadier Coghlan s services to the favourable consideration of Her Majesty’s Government and the recommendation was supported by the Bight Honourable the Governor General. The numerous claims to reward which existed on the other side of India, it may be presumed prevented the recognition at that time cf Brigadier Coghlan’s merits ; but the Honourable (signed) 4 February 1861. G. Clerk. W. R. Mansfidà. H. W. Reeves. W. R. Frere. (No. 1532.) From the Officiating Secretary to the Government of India to the Chief Secretary to the Government of Bombay. Sir, Foreign Department, Fort 'William, 2 April 1861. T „ ,1 1 , 2 April 1861. I HAVE the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your letter. No. Ô, dated 15th February, submitting a report by Brigadier Coghlan on the differences existing between his Highness Syud Thoweynee of Muscat and his Highness Syud Majeed of Zanzibar together with a copy of the resolution recorded thereon by the Bombay Government. ' 2. In reply, I am directed to state that his Excellency the Governor General in Council agrees to the three conditions of settlement recommended in the resolution of the Bombay Government, paragraph 16. 3. The limitation to 80,000 crowns of the arrears of subsidy to be paid bv Zanzibar +n Muscat IS expedient, because it names a distinct sum. In the opinion of hi^ Excellency in Council, the demand should be made rather in the form of a compromise than as the X^mable''^'' '' understood, also, that the aggregate amount of the arrears claimable would not much exceed this sum. 4. The three conditions will constitute the decision of the Governor General as arbi trator ;
