acKnov/lcdgo tho rocoi, t of your iotiors of the 28th I
|u.st anu o! this day s date,relative to tho renewed request
received from tho Resident at Aden that he should be j

and with the upper AtHaki tribes.

ciicumstances reported by General Maitland, and in view

in between two of the groups of tribes classed under that
a onomination, it would clearly be most objectionable that
it should be left as an enclave open to Turkish aggression.
Lord Larisdowno understands that the stipulation as
to British protection would be similar in terms to that
inserted in the treaties with the Atifi, Padthli, Upper
AuflaKi, and other trib ;s,which is couched in very general
