Extract from the letter from Mr. Ramsay, then Secretary at the India House, to the address
of Mr. Manesty, dated the 1st January 1796.
The Court of Directors have received your several Letters to the 9th of Orders for removal
October last, and I am ordered to express their satisfaction at the establishment jo^revokeT*
of the Company’s Factory at Bussora, in consequence of the final adjustment
of the long depending dispute with the Pacha of Bagdad, and it is peculiarly
pleasing to them that your return to that place, in your Official capacity,
as Resident, has been distinguished by every possible mark of respeot to our
nation. As a perfect reooncilation has happily taken place between you and
the Pacha, of which there appeared no probability when the Court com­
municated their orders to the Government of Bombay of the 15th April last,
for a new arrangement of the Residency, and as they have every reason to be
satisfied with your general conduct, and that of Mr. Jooes, in your collective
capacity of Resident and Factor, they have been induced to revoke the orders
contained in that despatoh for your removal, there being a possibility of this,
reaching you before those orders shall have been carried into execution.
