Enclosures Nos. 3-4 to Despatch No. 24 from the Secret Department, Bombay Castle, dated 7 June 1860. The Enclosures are dated 13 April-30 May 1860. Received 12 July 1860.

The Enclosures include a report from Lieutenant-Colonel Christopher Palmer Rigby, Consul and British Agent, Zanzibar, concerning the French Consul's decision to break off relations with the Sultan of Zanzibar, and a French threat to use force. Rigby suggests that the French action arose from the Sultan's friendly attitude toward the British Government. The Enclosure contains correspondence (some in French) between the British Consul and the French naval commander at Zanzibar.
