No. 478.]

Sir: I beg to acknowledge receipt of Department’s Nos. 335 and 336, concerning the interference of the Turkish local authorities at Alexandretta with the business of the Stamford Manufacturing Company.

As no further complaints have been received from the company, the local authorities at Alexandretta having carried out the instructions of the Porte, I will not take any further steps in the matter without instructions to that effect.

I have, etc,
