S. B. Haines, Indian Navy, at Aden, on the 23rd January, 1838.] The peace, mercy, and blessings of the Almighty be with you. WE have received the letter which, through Jaffer, you have written concerning our agreement about Aden, on the 5th of Shuval; but you must know that we have claims upon that place, as also have the tribes aud Sultans around it. About the delay of the 2 months, Zilkad and Zilhuj, to which you and I have agreed before the transfer, we earnestly desire that it be observed. You will go to Bombay, and there consult the Government, while we will consult our people, the Princes and Shaikhs, and prepare their minds; then we and you, the Commissioner of the Company, will carry into effect the delivery of the fortress of Aden into your hand, and ratify the expenses of the tribes and Sultans, the regulations and manner of proceeding of everything connected with the town, the war by land and sea; then you, as the Commissioner, shall receive a true and full account and ratified transfer of the fortress of the town. As for the said customs, one-half will be upon you, and the other half upon us, after the 2 months, if it is agreed upon between us. On your arrival we will treat about the monthly or annual stipend. But the Arabs of the present town must remain under our name and our jurisdiction; all other people will be your subjects; and while we are treating after the delay of the 2 said months you must not act aggressively against us, or wrest any part of Aden from us. If you did not observe the delay of 2 months, we will not be responsible to you for anything that may happen. (L.S.) SULTAN M'HASSAN FOUDTHEL. Witness: RASHED BIN ABDULLA. After the 2 months we will speak and treat with Captain Haines and no other person. VOL. XI. Sultan M'Hassan of Lahej to Capt. Haines, Jan. 23, 1838. (Extract.) Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahum bemunnihee t'alla, &c. and compliments. WHAT I now write is from Lahej, where all are well. Your letter reached me, and I understand all you wrote in that letter. I have finished with you on the subject of the town, and told you all. Jaffer came to me from you. I have spoken truth, and gave him a letter, and from his hand received another. I have given my seal that Aden is yours, and you must now give me yours as a security to me. You have both my letter and seal. SULTAN M'HASSAN AFRICA. (East Coast.)
