Factors there in Quality of Resident, and we heroby appoint Mr. William
Digges Latouoho to that station, if his health will permit him to accept of it;
Wo are glad of the opportunity of giving Mr. Latouche this Testimony of our
good opinion, but if his health will not permit him to remain in the Gulph, we
havo thought proper to appoint Mr. George Green to the Residency of Bussora,
unless Mr. Beaumont should prefer it to Bushire in which case we have given
him the option and ih either case, we have appointed Mr. Green to the vacant
Residency; Mr Latouche must accordingly on receipt hereof take charge of
the Honorable Company’s Effects and Property at Bussora as Resident and
Messrs. Abraham and Gaily and Mr. Robson, the Surgeon must return to India
on the “ Eagle.” Such part of the Woollens as are not contracted for, and such
of the other Effects as may not be absolutely necessary for the Factory must be
withdrawn to Bushire in the manner directed by the Honorable Company, and
from thence sent to India.
The Residencies of Bussora and Bushire must now be totally independant
of each other, and we have thought proper to fix the expences of the former
