Sir,
^ith reference to my despatch No.66 of Fehruary 17th
last reporting the visit to Jedda of His Majesty’s Sloop
"Lupin*, I have the honour to state that the French naval yacht
"Diana" arrived here on Fehruary 18th having on hoard Rear
Admiral Deville, who has recently assumed command of the French
naval forces in the
Levant
A geographical area corresponding to the region around the eastern Mediterranean Sea.
. The Diana left for Suez on
Fehruary 20th.
2. Admiral Deville is comoleting an extensive tour in the
course of which he travelled overland from Syria to Basra
where he was met hy the Diana. Although it is not the custom
of this post that visiting naval commanders should call upon
the representatives of Governments other than their own, the
Admiral was good enough to pay me a private visit on 19th
February in token of appreciation of the numerous courtesies
he had received from British authorities. He spoke with great
appreciation of his intercourse with His Majesty’s High
Commissioner at Baghdad, the
Political Resident
A senior ranking political representative (equivalent to a Consul General) from the diplomatic corps of the Government of India or one of its subordinate provincial governments, in charge of a Political Residency.
at Bushire and
the British Political Agents in the
Persian Gulf

.
3. As the question of naval salutes for Hejaz personages is
still engaging your attention, I may mention that, when the
Acting Governor of Jedda called on Admiral Deville on board
the Diana on Fehruary 20th, he was accorded a salute of 13 guns
hen the same official visited the Senior Naval Officer, Red
Sea Sloops during the recent visit of His Majesty’s sloop
"Lupin"
