Th« urn aubjeet. 1. Just as tlio foregoing was olosod wo reoed. advices from your Agent
Counoil at Gombroon dated lltli Jan°i; last, In the above we have already
taken notice of their procoodings which appears to us very unwarrantable as
the Agent and Counoil to Gombroon did not truely state to your honours, the
terms on which the Bussorah Bill was drawn, and lest they should do so in
other oases we esteem it necessary to enclose you our advicos to that Agonoy
by this conveyance, and which the Tenors there advices now received make tho.
more neoessary. It was a long time before we were acquainted with the terms
the 8phaun Bill on Bussorah was drawn, and not till vory lately with the
circumstances and extravagant rates of their taking up money upon bonds,
and we beg leave to observe to your Honours that at the distance we are from
Persia it may not be always in our power timely to prevent such unwarrant­
able proceedings and we wish what we have wrote them may have any good
effect.
