Sir,
I have the honour to invite your attention to a
certain aspect of the present condition of affairs at Soor, in
connection with the French Flag question.

Bania
Merchant of Indian extraction.
resident of that place, Dewa Din Lilla by
name, has approached me with a list of debts which he is unable
to recover, and has asked for assistance. . Upon enquiry I find
that a sum of $.£67 is owing to him by bona fide subjects of
the Sultan, and ^.646 by subjects of His Highness who hold
French Flags, all being inhabitants of Soor.
Syed Faisal is unable to put pressure upon the latter debtors
for obvious reasons, and hesitates to take strong measures in
regard to the former fearing that such action will incline
them to the idea of begging for French protection themselves.
